NovaTerm v0.3.2
NovaTerm v0.3.2
The "every shell, auto-detected" release. NovaTerm now shows only the terminals
you actually have installed — and adds new themes, a process-restart banner, and
a polished UI.
✨ New
- Automatic shell detection. On startup NovaTerm probes your PC and lists only
installed shells: PowerShell 7, Windows PowerShell, Command Prompt, Git Bash,
Nushell, MSYS2, Cygwin — plus one tab profile per installed WSL
distribution (e.g.WSL · Ubuntu,WSL · Ubuntu-22.04). Shells you don't have
no longer clutter the new-tab menu. - 4 new themes — GitHub Dark, Gruvbox Dark, One Dark, Solarized Dark (9 total).
- Restart on exit. When a shell process exits, a banner appears with a one-click
Restart to relaunch that shell. - Nicer new-tab menu — per-shell icons/colors and clean executable names.
🛠 Improvements
- Friendlier startup: the picker now says “Detecting installed shells…”.
- Detection is fully best-effort and never blocks or crashes the app.

NovaCore v0.2.0
NovaCore v0.2.0 — engine-centric terminal platform (new architecture).
A from-scratch command platform: its own runtime, NovaLang language, structured-value pipeline, VFS, native process manager, layout/render core, and WGSL shader. Shells (PowerShell/Bash/WSL) are optional adapter plugins — NovaCore is the center, not a shell frontend. Everything is a structured Value (records/tables/typed objects), so ls | where size > 0 | sort-by name | first 3 operates on real fields.
Downloads
- NovaCore.exe — the
novacoreruntime, a runnable NovaLang REPL (557 KB, fully native Rust, no Electron/Tauri/WebView). - NovaCore-0.2.0-portable.zip — zipped exe.
Notes
- This is a CLI runtime today; the native winit/wgpu window is the documented Phase-1 frontend (the renderer core + shader ship in the nova-gpu crate). There is no installer yet because the GUI window is not wired.
- 11 crates, all tested, clippy-clean. See novacore/ARCHITECTURE.md.
