iTerm2 Alpha 10 is Out
This morning I checked and iTerm2 Alpha 10 was out, and the release notes for this update are impressive:
The focus of this release is bug fixes. It also features a major performance improvement as well as better internationalization support. This is the first 64-bit release.
- Rewrote drawing code for up to 10x speedup.
- iTerm2 is now a 64-bit binary!
- Improve text rendering by making baselines always line up when mixing fonts and in IME.
- Input method editor improved.
- Bold selections have proper foreground color (bug 106).
- Fix bug where cursor remains I-bar in title (bug 88).
- Resynchornize properly after invalid utf-8 sequence (bug 73).
- Fix bug where opening a tab changes window size.
- Fix race condition when toggling full screen and a draw occurs.
- Fix drawing bugs.
- Fix some minor memory leaks.
- Fix bug where tab bar would not draw correctly after window resize (bug 167).
- Fix bug where one-word commands in a bookmark didn't work (bug 166).
I'm most pleased with the move to 64-bit and the speed-up of the rendering code. Fantastic work!
