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 by Simon Tatham and team.
0.5.2-1 is a maintenance release. The setup.exe package is for Cygwin 1.7 only. (A Cygwin 1.5 version is available from the project page at http://mintty.googlecode.com.) CHANGES ======= - Triple-click line selection now supports wrapped lines. - The newline character at the end of a line is no longer included when triple-clicking, to allow the line to be edited after pasting it back into the terminal. - Reintroduced an option for setting the backspace keycode back to ^H. - Dropped the option for disabling the Copy&Paste shortcuts. - Added 'shortcut override mode', enabled with '\e[?7783h' and disabled with '\e[?7783l'. When this is on, all mintty shortcuts are overridden and sent to the application instead. - Improved window resizing behaviour.
