Highlights

Emoji gain dedicated color-font routing and HarfBuzz shaping, with reproducible fixtures guarding every supported font format.

Changes

Released 2026-08-29. Full history in CHANGELOG.md.

Features

  • Route emoji through a dedicated face and render color glyphs from CBDT, COLRv0, COLRv1, SVGinOT, and sbix fonts. (49a6ea0)
  • Shape complete grapheme clusters with HarfBuzz and fall through atomically when a face cannot compose a modifier, keycap, flag, or ZWJ sequence. (1aca6ff)
  • Add negotiated Unicode grapheme widths through DEC private mode 2027 while retaining xterm-compatible legacy widths by default. (1aca6ff)
  • Default logging to warnings; -log selects the severity and xterm's -/+debug aliases remain available. (3e5eade)

Bug fixes

  • Honor an embedded faceName:size= value with the same precedence and font menu behavior as xterm. (0ba409d)

Other

  • Add an isolated, reproducible font-format matrix and real-ink Xvfb tests for routing, shaping, clipping, and fallback. (662d6e8)
  • Add changelog-driven release notes with commit-traceability checks, artifact sizes, and SHA-256 hashes. (d0b43fd)
  • Run the font fixture and Xvfb suites in release builds, pin their tooling, freeze libghostty to one tested commit, and make the synthetic sbix fixture independent of the host zlib. (d0b43fd)
  • Sign every release asset with a build-provenance attestation and streamline Debian packaging by omitting unused .buildinfo generation. (d0b43fd)
  • Document the Revenant identity, release installation, and provenance verification. (2ef00e0, d0b43fd)
