🚀 Features

📦 API

  • The new readonly modes API exposes the terminal's internal modes (#3418) via @Tyriar. These are used for example in the xterm-addon-serialize to enable mode serialization.

  • Ensure underscore glyphs remain within the cell bounds (#3426) via @Tyriar
  • Handle input from macOS and Windows emoji IMEs (#3429) via @Eugeny
  • Properly handle dead keys and altgr (#3430, #3432, #3437) via @Eugeny
  • Fix parser throughput regressions which should improve throughput approximately 2-3x (#3452) via @Tyriar
  • Don't break the terminal when undefined is passed into the Terminal ctor explicitly (#3453) via @silamon

📝 Documentation and internal improvements

  • The screen reader mode now gets updated at most once per second to avoid layout thrashing (#3399) via @pattch

🚀 Features

  • Double click to select a word will now use link providers registered via the API (#3230) via @marvinthepa
  • Support the ligatures addon with the DOM renderer (#3285) and WebGL renderer (#3286) via @Tyriar

📦 API

  • Support async parser handlers (#3222, #3256, #3257, #3267) via @jerch. This enables for example custom parser handlers to defer heavy work to a worker thread. Note that this will block the terminal and you should generally stay away from this API unless it's a lot of work that would block the UI thread. 
    // Handle \x1b[<params>+Z using an asynchronous handler
terminal.parser.registerCsiHandler({intermediates:'+', final: 'Z'}, async params => {
  await new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, 50));
  return false;
});
  • Add onBell event API so embedders can handle the bell however they want (#3290, #3295) via @bmf-ribeiro 
    terminal.onBell(() => customBellImpl());

4.9.0

📦 API

  • Add number support to fontWeight and fontWeightBold options (#3062) via @IllusionMH, this now matches the types that the CSS style supports.
  • Support optional dispose function on ILink (#3073) via @Tyriar, this allows consumers to be notified when links are no longer needed which was difficult to observe before.

🐞 Bug fixes

  • Fix renderer pausing when Terminal.open is called during an animation (#3008) via @andrew-schlackman
  • Use document role instead of list for the terminal (#3020) via @Tyriar
  • Constructor options are now validated just like when using setOption (#3064) via @IllusionMH
  • Fix rendering of multi-line selection when only top row is visible (#3081) via @Tyriar
  • Fix first/last line of selection sometimes not rendering with the canvas renderer (#3082) via @Tyriar

📝 Documentation and internal improvements

  • Remove the no longer supported Dockerfile from the repo (#3026) via @Tyriar
  • Update to TypeScript 4 (#3059) via @Tyriar

🛑 Breaking changes

  • getOption('fontWeight') and getOption('fontWeightBold') now returns string | number instead of string: 
    // before 4.9.0
const weight: string = term.getOption('fontWeight');

// after 4.9.0
const weight: string | number = term.getOption('fontWeight');
    This change accepted as the impact on consumers should be minimal due to the low usage of the API.

🎉 New real-world use cases

📥 Addons

  • Expose WebglAddon.clearTextureAtlas API (#3075) via @Tyriar, this is useful to completely clear the atlas when corruption may have happened (eg. when canvas textures are lost after system sleep/resume).
  • Fix rendering of multi-line selection when only top row is visible (#3081) via @Tyriar
