Windows Terminal 1.19 is now available for download, and it includes a number of new features, including instant search, broadcast mode, integrated "search the web," window border colors in themes, and a new text rendering engine. The release also includes bug fixes, accessibility improvements, and improved reliability.

Windows Terminal v1.19.10292.0

Windows Terminal 1.19 is finally out of preview! It includes the following features, which we're excited to finally get out there.

• Instant search, with a live-updated result count (thanks to  @Don-Vito)
• Broadcast mode!
• Integrated "search the web" (the browser isn't integrated, but the menu item is!)
• Window border colors in themes (on Windows 11)
• Acrylic in unfocused windows (thanks to  @Jaswir)
• A completely new text rendering engine, which is now enabled by default.

Please see the following release notes for additional details.

• Windows Terminal Preview v1.19.2682.0
• Windows Terminal Preview v1.19.2831.0
• Windows Terminal Preview v1.19.3172.0

Note that scrollbar marks and shell integration features are still considered experimental and
are not included in this stable release!

Note
This version began rolling out to the Dev and Canary Windows Insider channels on 2024-01-30. Other channels will be released
as our reliability numbers indicate that we haven't broken anything. If you want to update to this release directly, download it below!
