Dustin L. Howett has announced the release of Windows Terminal Preview 1.9.1933.0.

This version of Terminal comes with Cascadia Code 2106.17. This version of the Cascadia family of fonts refines the "cursive" italic letter forms to have more universally-acceptable shapes and introduces support for Hebrew and Arabic glyphs.

Features

• ALPHA FEATURE We had to update the interface in Windows that allows Terminal to act as the default console host.
  Due to the change, 1.10+ is required with Windows 22000.65 and above.
  • We can now hand off WSL sessions, and Ctrl+C now works in handoff sessions ( #10415)

  buttons that let you revert individual settings ( #10588)
• You can now select a different default display language for Terminal in the Appearance settings ( #10309)
  • JSON field preferredLanguage

Changes

• Terminal windows launched via "Open Here" will open new tabs in the same directory ( #10546) (thanks @ianjoneill)
• The "quake mode" action is now named "Summon Quake window" instead of "Global summon something something window _quake" ( #10641)
• JSON settings: font options are now specified in a single "font": {} group in each Profile ( #10433)
  • Your settings will automatically migrate to the new format when you press Save.
• We've promoted the Command Palette to the main dropdown menu to improve its discoverability ( #10297) (thanks @KnapSac)

• We will no longer destroy commands using iterateOn when you press Save ( #10373)

• We will not attempt to not un-toggle the command palette if you choose to toggle it while it is open ( #10423) (thanks @kovdu)
• When we encounter a malformed fragment document, we will no longer fail to read any future fragment documents ( #10601)

• A window that receives an incoming console application will now spring to the foreground ( #10217)

Performance

• During heavy output load, we will spend a lot less time ...
  • formatting VT strings ( #10426) (thanks @skyline75489!)
  • creating temporary string_views ( #10471) (thanks @skyline75489!)
  • notifying an accessibility channel that has been disconnected ( #10537) ( #10569)

Reliability

• Terminal should crash less often when you are closing a tab ( #10549)
