Extraterm v0.71.0
This release is a mixed bag of smaller features and fixes.
First, an update checking extension has been added which, if you allow it, will check for new Extraterm releases every day and bring you any good news. It respects your privacy and doesn't send anything which can track you.
Extraterm now supports "Input Methods" meaning keyboard and character input support for different languages is greatly improved. Keyboard layouts with dead keys, compose keys or even on-screen character menus should work correctly now.
Text selection has been improved. Starting a selection with the shift key + mouse will perform a block selection instead of a normal one. Selections can now be adjusted after they have been made, by shift clicking to change where they start or end.
Extraterm now understands and supports other shell integration escape codes. nushell has built in support for these codes and Extraterm can now use them.

Extraterm v0.67.0
It is a busy time of the year and this release took much longer to reach than expected. A huge amount of work went into optimising the build process and the final application build files and packaging. Most of the code is now being compressed and unused code is aggressively being removed. This results in smaller package and installer sizes and also an application which starts up faster.

Linux zip | 69.1MB | β | 54.6MB |
