WezTerm version

wezterm 20240203-110809-5046fc22

Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?

No, and I'll explain why below

Describe the bug

As a Windows user, I use scoop (one of the documented installation methods) to keep wezterm up to date. Unfortunately, I just realized that the latest stable version is from February 2024, i.e. over two years old now, and so my installed version lacks newer features and bug fixes.

The scoop bucket doesn't offer nightly builds, and I don't want to start managing wezterm updates by hand (or to use a different package manager). I suppose also that I'm not the only user to prefer stable releases over nightly builds.

So the request is simple: please make new stable releases once in a while (e.g. once a year or so). Thanks in advance, and thank you for creating this awesome terminal!

Hello!
The project was basically on hold / unmaintained for a while now, but I have good news!
👉 Wez has come back on the project, so we can get things moving again!

I'd suggest using a recent nightly release for the time being, there was a lot of things fixed but are yet to be released.

I'm going to close this issue as this is tracked in #6341 , subscribe there to get notifications about this!
