v1.7.0

• Fixed, Windows: starting pain opened a console window that then sat there
  for as long as the terminal was running, and a shell you launched it from
  stayed blocked until you closed it. The executable was built as a console
  application — the default, and the wrong one for something that opens its
  own window — so Windows gave it a console whether it wanted one or not.
  It's now built as a normal windowed application, which is why neither
  macOS nor Linux ever showed this.

  --help, --version and --verbose still print to the terminal you ran
  them from, and redirecting to a file still works. One difference is
  unavoidable now that the shell no longer waits: their output arrives just
  after the prompt comes back, which is how every windowed Windows program
  with a command line behaves.

• Panes now show a dot in their title bar when something has happened —
  blue when the shell produced output, red when a program rang the terminal
  bell. This is for the side pane running a build or tailing a log: you can
  tell it moved without watching it. The terminal bell was previously read
  and discarded, so a program ringing it did nothing at all.

  The two clear differently, on purpose. Output only matters for a pane you
  aren't watching, so focusing it is enough. A bell is a program asking for
  attention and usually rings the instant a command starts — while its own
  pane is still focused, because you just pressed Enter there — so it
  survives focus and clears when you next type into that pane.

• Over 600 built-in color themes, compiled into the binary — Dracula,
  Tokyo Night, Gruvbox Dark, Catppuccin Mocha, Solarized Light and the
  rest of the familiar names. Pick one from Settings, where the list is
  filterable, or set appearance.theme by hand. A theme supplies the 16 ANSI
  colors programs draw with plus the default foreground and background, so
  switching restyles panes that are already open.

  The default is unchanged: Graphite, exactly the palette the app has always
  shipped, so upgrading doesn't restyle anything on its own.
  appearance.background_color is now an override — leave it empty and the
  background follows the theme, which is what you want since a theme's
  background is part of its design. A config that already set it keeps that
  value and keeps overriding.

• Links a program explicitly marks with the OSC 8 escape sequence — what
  cargo and gcc emit — are now Ctrl+click-able. Previously only text
  that looked like a URL was matched, so a link whose visible text was an
  ordinary word was invisible. The same scheme restriction applies either way:
  only http, https, ftp, ssh and mailto are ever handed to the
  operating system, so program output can't turn a click into opening an
  arbitrary local file.

• Emoji now render in color. They previously came out as flat monochrome
  silhouettes, because the color information a font provides was being
  thrown away and only the shape kept.

  Color glyphs get their own small texture rather than widening the existing
  one, so ordinary text keeps exactly as much room as it had. Symbols that
  programs print as text — ✓, ✗, ★, ➜ — deliberately stay
  monochrome and one cell wide; they have emoji forms, but a test suite's
  worth of checkmarks turning into colored pictures is not an improvement.
  Needs a color emoji font installed, which every mainstream desktop has:
  Noto Color Emoji on Linux, Apple Color Emoji on macOS, Segoe UI Emoji on
  Windows.

• Optional ligature support, off by default: appearance.ligatures, or the
  checkbox in Settings. Renders != as ≠ and => as ⇒ with a font that
  provides them (Fira Code, JetBrains Mono, Cascadia Code, Iosevka). Never
  applied across a color change or across the cursor, so editing != still
  shows which character you're on.

  Off by default deliberately, and it stays a separate rendering path rather
  than replacing the existing one: shaping hands glyph positioning to the
  font's own advances instead of the cell grid, and costs real per-frame work.
  Neither is worth imposing on someone who didn't ask for ligatures.
