Scanline Term v0.6.0

Highlights

• Added Lua configuration and automation with examples for editor cursor behavior, keyboard layouts, guarded preset switching, and Smart Caps (for nvim and helix editors). Existing configurations are preserved; examples can be enabled individually.
• Added user-defined ANSI palettes from Lua, available in the palette picker.
• Added custom shell profiles with commands and arguments, plus a default profile for new terminal tabs.
• Added a Windows Explorer context-menu action to open Scanline Term in the selected folder.
• Added optional MCP terminal control and clipboard paste support, with improved resource limits and cleanup.
• Refreshed the UI with updated panel, tab bar, and settings styling.
• Improved window-size restoration, terminal and tab lifecycle handling, and stability across several bug fixes.

Install and upgrade

• The MSI is recommended for Windows 10 version 1809 or later and Windows 11.
• For the portable edition, extract the full ZIP to a writable folder. Keep sterm.lua and its editors/, modules/, scripts/, and palettes/ folders beside sterm.exe, along with the included runtime resources.
• Back up user-edited Lua files before a portable upgrade. Keep the existing sterm.lua and support files instead of overwriting them with the archive copies. Portable sterm.lua takes precedence over the profile configuration at %APPDATA%\com.zhunter.scanlineterm\config.lua.
• Existing Lua configuration and support files are preserved. Missing starter support files are created on startup; example bindings are not automatically enabled in an existing config. App data and settings may still use the Windows user profile, so the portable edition is not fully self-contained.
