  • Background Transparency: Addressed transparency and background rendering issues.

Behavior Changes

  • Modifier Keys: AltGr and Super modifier keys no longer scroll the page.

  • Terminal Resize Behavior: Terminal lines are no longer truncated when resizing to a smaller window.

Code Maintenance

  • Code Cleanup: Removed unused variables, redundant code.
  • APtyProcess Base Class:
    • All PtyProcess classes are now derived from APtyProcess.
    • On Linux, the active class is PosixPtyProcess.
    • On Windows, it can use either WinPtyProcess or ConPtyProcess based on system configuration.
    • This makes it possible to dynamically manage different PtyProcess types in a single container.
