ConEmu
Windows Terminal

Build 160124

  • conemu#509: Fix crash when checking ‘Explicit executable’.
  • Use bare {Far} task name for first Far.exe found in our folder. To simplify portable and testing installations, if Far Manager is copied into our program folder, don’t change its task name (don’t add version/bitness suffixes).
  • conemu#507: Get rid of MsgBox on attach errors, print info to Console instead.
  • conemu#514: Fix broken pseudographics representation if ‘Alternative font’ was off.
  • Prefer bash.exe over sh.exe when creating default tasks.
  • gd#516: Support ‘Application Cursor Keys (DECCKM)’.
  • Update terminals module to v0.7.4
  • Let characters 0x1F300..0x1F5FF be double-width.
  • conemu#517: Radio-buttons Maximized and Fullscreen were not working (Apply is required though).

Build 160111

  • Fix bad XML format for GuiMacro GetInfo Root.
  • conemu#491: Example Far Macro ConEmu.CtrlShiftT.lua had wrong hotkey.
  • Add ‘Anti-aliasing’ option for alternative font.
  • Far Manager was not resized after splitting with Ctrl-Shift-O/E. Implement helper ForceFarResize and utilize it in both sync and async modes.
  • conemu#502, conemu#446, conemu#447: The algorithm of text drawing has changed significantly.
  • Prevent double execution of script specified in “AutoRun” cmd’s registry key. For example, when “cmd /k CmdInit.cmd” was started (default for {cmd} task) triggering ver command caused execution of test.cmd again.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"AutoRun"="test.cmd"
  • conemu#494: Fix clink double initialization.
  • connector#3: Let Left/Right/Up/Down/Home/End post sequences ESC[X.
  • connector#8: Fix top output lines.
  • Update terminals module to v0.7.3.
  • Updating progress was not changed during downloading (10% till 99%).
  • conemu#297: Fix keyboard delay (Windows 7).
  • conemu#471: Far plugin ‘ConEmu Panel Views’ was broken (da926ba regression).

Build 151224

  • All 64-bit binaries are built with VS14. 32-bit binaries are still built with VS9 (WinSDK7) to be compatible with old systems.
  • conemu#486: Use https for github links.
  • conemu#488: Full paths were shown in Far’s editor/viewer tabs (6ce49af regression).
  • GuiMacro: Return xml instead of json for GetInfo Root.
  • GuiMacro: In-process GuiMacro execution improvements.
Prototype: int __stdcall ConsoleMain3(int anWorkMode, LPCWSTR asCmdLine)
Example: ConsoleMain3(3, L" -GuiMacro:1234 Print \"exit\\n\"");
Note: anWorkMode==3, asCmdLine must begin with space.

Build 151222

  • conemu#465: Treat Ctrl-Z as ‘EndOfStream’ in ReadConsole (Go input streams). To use, on new line press Ctrl-Z and Enter. Option (Features page) disabled by default.
  • conemu#469: TabBar/ToolBar is too large.
  • conemu#473: Support Ctrl+LClick on paths surrounded by brackets.
  • connector#4: AltGr+Char was not working with cygwin/msys connector.
  • conemu#470: Double click word selection was broken.
  • conemu-inside#3: New switch -new_console:c0. It suppress writing to console confirmation messages like “Press Enter or Esc to close console…”, but let server to wait for Enter or Esc nonetheless.
  • ConEmu.Core - Nuget package for Nuget.org, for referencing the stuff from Visual Studio projects. Unlike Choco’s, this one has to carry all of the payload files inside and not on an URL. The nuget with conemu WinForms control references this nuget, so just adding a nuget to your project sets it up for using the conemu control out of the box.
  • Internal. Fix package name
  • API: ConEmuCD exports function ConsoleMain3 to enable ‘in-process’ GuiMacro calls.
Prototype: int __stdcall ConsoleMain3(int anWorkMode, LPCWSTR asCmdLine)
Example: ConsoleMain3(0, L"-GuiMacro:1234 Print \"exit\\n\"");

Build 151217

  • AnsiLog was not written properly in some cases.
  • Reuse HandleKeeper to determine console handle properties properly
    • ANSI coloring is supported while redirecting text to CON from batches. Example for cmd prompt: call cecho "Redirected output" > CON.
    • Output of msvcrt linked applications, like PING or TRACERT, may be logged (Settings\Features\Log console output).
  • conemu#461: Fix AeroPeek VCon offset when frame is non-resizable.
  • conemu#210: Minimizing other windows causes ConEmu to be restored (Quake).
  • First try to draw non-spacings/combinings/surrogates/double-width in ‘proper’ size. For example, combining accents/umlauts must be shown over preceding letter, CJK double-width characters must use two cells to avoid overlapping. But that raise some other problems if console application don’t care about this. For example: Far Manager frames may look corrupted after CJK file names.
  • Don’t try to pop up console menu by Shift+RClick while LBtn selection is present.
  • Make IDM_CLOSE (Tab/Console menu item) behavior more conistent.
    • If menu’s opened by RClick on console or by hotkey: do ‘Close console’.
    • If menu’s opened by TabBar’s RClick and it’s a group with several tabs: do ‘Close tab group’.

  • Let’s save integers as user-friendly 10-based numbers (new xml configs).

    • If there’s no console at all - macro returns either empty string, or somthing like “FAILED:Specified ConEmu instance is not found”.
    • On errors you may receive {"Status":"Unknown"}.
    • Normally, JSON object is expected. Example below, // for comments.
{
"Running": false,  // true or false
"Name": "cmd.exe", // name of root process executable
"PID": 1234,       // PID of root process
"ExitCode": 1,     // 259 if still running, or its exitcode
"UpTime": 12418    // milliseconds
}

  • conemu#368: Fix thread handles leaks.
  • Append optional switches to single-command tasks. For example, there is default task {cmd} which has single command: cmd /k "%ConEmuBaseDir%\CmdInit.cmd". Now you may to run {cmd} /git from NewConsole dialog or via -cmd switch of ConEmu.exe. So, the result will be: cmd /k "%ConEmuBaseDir%\CmdInit.cmd" /git.
  • ConEmu here: Suggest to start {cmd} task instead of bare cmd by default.
    • So the default command for ‘ConEmu Here’ will be {cmd} -cur_console:n.
