Release 1.7.9

This release includes some new features, leverages new capabilities that VTE 0.52 brings as well as fixes a number of issues. Highlights for this release include:

• Badges for all! As of VTE 0.52 a Tilix specific VTE patch for badge support is no longer required
• Support for new VTE 0.52 features (#1233)
• New shortcuts to quickly cycle through previous command prompts. Requires VTE be compiled with Tilix alternate screen patch (#1369)
• Profiles in preferences has been re-worked so dialog uses less vertical space
• New GtkD 3.8.2 used which fixes a segmentation fault when casting objects from a null object
• Unsafe paste dialog uses a scrollwindow now when more then 6 lines of text (#1386)
• A new token ${activeTerminalTitle} has been added to provide more flexibility for session titles
• Triggers and custom hyperlinks now support using the tilix tokens (#1316)
• Custom hyperlinks are loaded before the default hyperlinks so users can override default behavior

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release.

Release 1.7.7

This release is primarily to fix a problem with transparency in tilix with regards to the forthcoming VTE 0.52 release as part of Gnome 3.28.

However in addition to that, the other major change is that support for quake mode in Wayland has been dropped. It's turned out to be have far too many issues to support due to the limitations of Wayland around window positioning. Users who want to use quake mode in Wayland can do so by forcing the usage of the X11 backend with tilix via the environment variable GDK_BACKEND=x11.

Finally a slight tweak to custom links has been made to allow them to be re-ordered and are evaluated before the default regex expressions for the standard links.

Release 1.7.5

The following changes were made in 1.7.5:

• Fixed segfault with input synchronization occurring after a period of time (#1228)
• Passwords and bookmarks now respect input synchronization (#1236)
• Fix problem with Copy as HTML not checking VTE version (#1235)

Release 1.7.3

This release improves the stability of Tilix plus fixes a few minor issues. The only new feature is being able to copy terminal output as HTML.

Release 1.7.1

This release fixes a single issue with 1.7.0 where the default for the overlay scrollbar was set to false.

Release 1.7.0

Well things have slowed down a bit as I'm super busy on the work front, however I think things are at a point where a new release is warranted. Thanks to everyone who contributed code, bug reports and more to this release. The following changes have been made in this release:

• Added support for using tabs instead of the sidebar since it was requested so often
• Preliminary flatpak support now working thanks to the efforts of @JaJe who did a phenomenal job on this, thanks!
• Fixed visual issues with DEs (looking at you MATE) that try to disable overlay scrolling with environment variables
• Added new variable for titles to return total number of sessions
• Added visual indicator when there is new content when scroll on new content is disabled
• Fixed a number of bugs and issues

Release 1.6.4

A new release of Tilix is available with the following changes:

• Dim option now dims the fonts and does not alter the background. The dim color option has been removed
• Added option to disable saving/restoring window state between invocations
• Added option to disable overlay scrollbar in favor of separate scrollbar widget
• Fixed problem with selecting non-existent bookmark causing a crash
• Enabled customizing keyboard shortcut for toggling local input synchronization
• Added abilitiy to specify window style from command line
• Added menu option to open CWD in file browser (i.e. Nautilus, etc)
• Fixed issue where opening a custom link could only be done once

Release 1.6.1

Quick fix for an issue with Tilix suddenly requiring a new library libgdkglext-3.0.so.0, corrected by building against older GtkD library for now.

Release 1.6.0

This is a bug fix release that cleans up a couple of annoying issues introduced in 1.5.8, specifically the following issues were fixed:

• Fix problem with only being able to open a custom link once
• Layout options crashing Tilix in GTK 3.14 has been corrected
• Issue with preferences window displaying a very wide window instead of normal size has been fixed
• The text in the titlebar is now properly centered
• Fixed issue with Tilix ignoring the geometry parameter

Release 1.5.8

This release offers a few new features as well as numerous bug fixes. One major thing to note, this version of Tilix has changed to using PCRE2 for regular expressions when the VTE version indicates it is supported. Unfortunately Ubuntu 17.10 removed this functionality from VTE and hence Tilix is broken on 17.10 until Ubuntu patches Tilix in their distribution. See issue #916 for more information.

Notable changes for this release include:

• Can detach sessions by dragging them off the sidebar to the desktop. Can re-attach sessions by dragging them from the sidebar to another tilix window
• Can re-order sessions via drag and drop in sidebar or by using ctrl-pgup or ctrl-pagedn
• If ctrl-c is assigned to copy shortcut, tilix is smart enough to only copy when text is selected otherwise normal interrupt is passed
• Window state is now restored on new launch, i.e. if window is maximized and closed it will be maximized when new instance is launched
• Added new variable for titles at session scope for active terminal title
• Added support for GTK active CSS style to enable better styling of terminal titlebars
• Added support for pending VTE hyperlink functionality (#904)
