# Version 0.2.0 (2015-11-13)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No changes to the API, but many small changes to the implementation. The big
|
||
|
|
changes include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Support for 64-bit Cygwin and MSYS2
|
||
|
|
* Support for Windows 10
|
||
|
|
* Better Unicode support (especially East Asian languages)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Details:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The `configure` script recognizes 64-bit Cygwin and MSYS2 environments and
|
||
|
|
selects the appropriate compiler.
|
||
|
|
* winpty works much better with the upgraded console in Windows 10. The
|
||
|
|
`conhost.exe` hang can still occur, but only with certain programs, and
|
||
|
|
is much less likely to occur. With the new console, use Mark instead of
|
||
|
|
SelectAll, for better performance.

||
|
|
[#53](https://github.com/rprichard/winpty/issues/53)
|
||
|
|
* The UNIX adapter now calls `setlocale(LC_ALL, "")` to set the locale.
|
||
|
|
* Improved Unicode support. When a console is started with an East Asian code
|
||
|
|
page, winpty now chooses an East Asian font rather than Consolas / Lucida
|
||
|
|
Console. Selecting the right font helps synchronize character widths
|
||
|
|
between the console and terminal. (It's not perfect, though.)
|
||
|
|
[#41](https://github.com/rprichard/winpty/issues/41)
|
||
|
|
* winpty now more-or-less works with programs that change the screen buffer
|
||
|
|
or resize the original screen buffer. If the screen buffer height changes,
|
||
|
|
winpty switches to a "direct mode", where it makes no effort to track
|
||
|
|
scrolling. In direct mode, it merely syncs snapshots of the console to the
|
||
|
|
terminal. Caveats:
|
||
|
|
* Changing the screen buffer (i.e. `SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer`)
|
||
|
|
breaks winpty on Windows 7. This problem can eventually be mitigated,
|
||
|
|
but never completely fixed, due to Windows 7 bugginess.
|
||
|
|
* Resizing the original screen buffer can hang `conhost.exe` on Windows 10.
|
||
|
|
Enabling the legacy console is a workaround.
|
||
|
|
* If a program changes the screen buffer and then exits, relying on the OS
|
||
|
|
to restore the original screen buffer, that restoration probably will not
|
||
|
|
happen with winpty. winpty's behavior can probably be improved here.
|
||
|
|
* Improved color handling:
|
||
|
|
* DkGray-on-Black text was previously hiddenly completely. Now it is
|
||
|
|
output as DkGray, with a fallback to LtGray on terminals that don't
|
||
|
|
recognize the intense colors.
|
||
|
|
[#39](https://github.com/rprichard/winpty/issues/39).
|
||
|
|
* The console is always initialized to LtGray-on-Black, regardless of the
|
||
|
|
user setting, which matches the console color heuristic, which translates
|
||
|
|
LtGray-on-Black to "reset SGR parameters."
|
||
|
|
* Shift-Tab is recognized correctly now.
|
||
|
|
[#19](https://github.com/rprichard/winpty/issues/19)
|
||
|
|
* Add a `--version` argument to `winpty-agent.exe` and the UNIX adapter. The
|
||
|
|
argument reports the nominal version (i.e. the `VERSION.txt`) file, with a
|
||
|
|
"VERSION_SUFFIX" appended (defaulted to `-dev`), and a git commit hash, if
|
||
|
|
the `git` command successfully reports a hash during the build. The `git`
|
||
|
|
command is invoked by either `make` or `gyp`.
|
||
|
|
* The agent now combines `ReadConsoleOutputW` calls when it polls the console
|
||
|
|
buffer for changes, which may slightly reduce its CPU overhead.
|
||
|
|
[#44](https://github.com/rprichard/winpty/issues/44).
|
||
|
|
* A `gyp` file is added to help compile with MSVC.
|
||
|
|
* The code can now be compiled as C++11 code, though it isn't by default.

|
||
|
|
* If winpty can't create a new window station, it charges ahead rather than
|
||
|
|
aborting. This situation might happen if winpty were started from an SSH
|
||
|
|
session.
|
||
|
|
* Debugging improvements:
|
||
|
|
* `WINPTYDBG` is renamed to `WINPTY_DEBUG`, and a new `WINPTY_SHOW_CONSOLE`
|
||
|
|
variable keeps the underlying console visible.
|
||
|
|
* A `winpty-debugserver.exe` program is built and shipped by default. It
|
||
|
|
collects the trace output enabled with `WINPTY_DEBUG`.
|
||
|
|
* The `Makefile` build of winpty now compiles `winpty-agent.exe` and
|
||
|
|
`winpty.dll` with -O2.
