News New localization packages 2/28/07I am no language genius, but I did spend some time learning some Spanish. As I'm trying to improve my Spanish, I decide to make a Spanish localization package for the latest version of iTerm. Be warned. Some translations may be awkward or totally wrong. If there are any native Spanish speakers out there, any corrections or advice will be much appreciated (wanna be my penpal? :-)). Muchas gracias!! To download, check our Localization page. Also updated is the simplified Chinese package for the latest iTerm. Release 0.9.5 2/1/07After several months of developping, we proudly present you the latest release of iTerm. Many users have provided us with great feed backs and helped us nail down bugs. Lots of thanks to all of you! Here is the change list:
Happy 2007!! We are continuing working on improving our iTerm. The first exciting new feature we are introducing in the new year is the support for the full screen mode. You can turn any terminal window into full screen. Although the tab bar will be hidden, you can still use your keyboard to navigate between tabs under the full screen mode. You can go to the download page and test the latest CVS build. 0.9.4 for Panther 12/21/06 Merry Christmas to everybody! The build for Panther is finally available. This build includes a few post-0.9.4 fixes. For Tiger users, please download the latest CVS build (0.9.4.1221). It will be our last build before Christmas. Release 0.9.4 12/4/06 This version further improves on stability. Further more, we changed the font rendering to make it more in line with other Cocoa applications. Lastly, we have an updated Help that reflects the latest changes in the GUI. We encourage all users who use previous versions to upgrade. New changes include:
Font rendering 11/29/06 For people who have complained the less than ideal font rendering behavior of iTerm, we hear you, loud and clear. Our latest cvs build hopefully alleviates some of your pain. You can go to the download page and check it out. If you have played with the stroke width setting before, you might need to set it to 0 before you can see our new rendering effects:
Release 0.9.3 11/11/06 This is mainly a bug fix version. The stability has been greatly enhancced. Random crashes that plagued previous 0.9.x version should be largely eliminated. Other changes include:
Terminfo support is here! 11/1/06 Our latest CVS build features terminfo support. The keyboard mapping of a session will now use the terminfo library. Your customized keymappings will override the terminfo library though. So you should probably remove some settings in your keyboard profile for you to see terminfo at work. This CVS build also fixes a few embarrassing bugs in the 0.9.2 release. Go to the Download page and check it out. Release 0.9.2 10/29/06 This new release features a new preference system. It is based on the same "Profiles-oriented" idea of previous version, with enhancement targeted toward the user experiences. The new changes include:
iTerm It All! 10/26/06 A true geek does everything in command lines, web, ftp, everything. Or maybe your more modest goal is just to get the telnet link to work. Now iTerm features the support to associate URLs with your bookmarks. You can set up a bookmark session with a command like this: telnet -l $$USER$$ $$HOST$$ $$PORT$$ and then tell OS X that iTerm will be the default handler for the telnet protocol. Next time you click a link in a Safari window such as telnet://joe@myserver.net:80, voila, there is your telnet session with the user name, host address and port number passed to it. Go to the Download page and check it out, or if you are using recent CVS buildings, click "Check For Update" from the iTerm menu. Sparkling New! 10/16/06 In the latest cvs build, we have added Sparkle framework into our iTerm. That means, now the application will check the update, download the new version and install it all by itself. Well, with your permission, of course. Go to the Download page and check it out. Moving on 10/14/06 We received many good feeedbacks on our 0.9.0 release. In the meanwhile, we are moving on to the next release to address many issues that users have raised. The main focus on 0.9.1 version will be the user interface. We will release CVS builds periodically. You are welcome to test-drive the new UI and send us your feedback. Be warned these are alpha quality and you shouldn't rely your critical job on them. Go to the Download page and check it out. Release 0.9.0!!! 9/22/06 Thanks to all the people who sent in their suggestion, feedback and bug reports. iTerm 0.9.0 is finally here. We have made the transistion to the new PSMTabBarControl. It gives iTerm a Safari-looking tab system. Further more, it supports drag and drop. This is a major upgrade from 0.8.2. The changes include:
Pre-Release 9/22/06 We are almost ready to put out a new release. The latest CVS build is therefore called Pre-Release. Since we do not think a little bump of number after the 2nd decimal point justifies the change in the release, we are moving to the 0.9.x era. The latest change include a fix of CMD-click to open a URL. Happy clicking! Go to the Download page and check it out. Localizations 9/22/2006 Up to today, we have Chinese, French, German, Japanese and Korean localizations. We do not speak most of these languages, at least not well enough to create a complete translation. Our users offered us their help. However, iTerm is still under active developping, and there are lots of changes. It is difficult to keep the translations up to date. Therefore, we would like to adopt a different model for localization. Starting from the coming new release, we will only provide a slim version of iTerm that only includes the resource for English. We will provide downloads for other languages if we receive localization packages from our users. That way, we can focus on creating a bug-free user interface. It will also take some burden off our translators. Whoever would like to help can download an existing localization package, update it and send it back to us. Many thanks to those who have made their contributions! Display Responsiveness 9/18/2006 Many people have complaints about the refreshing rate and the overall responsiveness of iTerm. We have been trying to strike a balance between CPU usage and program responsiveness. As this balance very much depends on the user hardware as well as software configurations, it should be configurable. So I think many of you would be glad to know that we have added a UI to allow the adujstion of this setting. It's in the preference menu. Use a small number for a faster refreshing rate and better responsiveness, for example, when you are editing a file using vi. On the other hand, if you have a lot things scrolling by quickly that you don't really care, set it to a larger number. This allows CPU to rest a little bit more. The original setting corresponds to the middle of the sliding bar. Go to the Download page and check out the recent CVS build. iTerm Growling 9/15/2006 We are happily announcing that iTerm now integrates the support for Growl. You need to have Growl installed. Besides a few tab status related messages (you can choose which one you need from Growl's preference setting), iTerm now also supports an escape sequence that sends message via Growl: ESC ]9;string^G. For example, if you would like to get an alert after a long make, do this under bash will help: make; echo $'\e]9;make done\007' Go to the Download page and check out the recent CVS build. New Look 9/12/2006 We are experimenting with a new tab control (PSMTabBarControl) that can mimic Safari-like tabs. Download the binary build from the latest CVS and check it out. |
