MinTTY is a terminal emulator for Cygwin with a native Windows user interface and minimalist design. Among its features are Unicode support and a graphical options dialog. Its terminal emulation is largely compatible with xterm, but it does not require an X server. MinTTY is based on code from PuTTY 0.60 by Simon Tatham and team.
This is a minor release with some fixes and enhancements. CHANGES ======= Fixes: - Removed Windows 7 console popup workaround for the next Cygwin 1.7 release (API version 0.211). No more subliminal console flashes, thanks to Christopher Faylor's better workaround in the Cygwin DLL. - When parsing the title sequence, the ST character (0x9C) was still being interpreted as string terminator, thereby causing occasional truncated UTF-8 or Windows codepage titles. - In mintty.exe's properties, the file version appeared as 0.0.0.0. Enhancements: - Added --icon option for customising the window icon. - Added support for 'rgb:RRRR/GGGG/BBBB' format in colour control sequences. Also added support for querying the current colour settings. - DECSCUSR control sequence for setting cursor style. - Introduced MinTTY-specific "application escape key" mode, where the escape key sends '\eO[' instead of just '\e'. This allows applications to avoid the escape timeout issue. (This is "experimental", meaning it might well change in future releases.) - Documented MinTTY-specific control sequences. - Added a tip to the manual on how to use DECSCUSR and application escape key mode to get a mode-dependent cursor in vim. Stick the following into .vimrc for a block cursor in command mode and a line cursor in insert mode: let &t_ti.="\e[2 q\e[?7727h" let &t_SI.="\e[6 q" let &t_EI.="\e[2 q" let &t_te.="\e[0 q\e[?7727l" noremap <Esc>O[ <Esc> noremap! <Esc>O[ <Esc> QUESTIONS ========= MinTTY's project page is located at http://mintty.googlecode.com.
