Terminal 0.2 Released
Submitted by munchor on Tue, 02/26/2013 - 19:39A new version of Pantheon's Terminal app has just been released. With this release, the terminal gains many new settings, several bug fixes, and a few new features.
New features
We've added some new features to the terminal, making it even more versatile while still being super lightweight and simple. For example, you're now able to zoom text with your keyboard and we've added a launch-command parameter for executing a certain command as soon as the terminal opens. We've also added true transparency and DConf-configurable color themes.
New settings
In addition to new features, we have added some new settings for our terminal users. Several customizations have been added, including options to enable or disable bold fonts, define character encodings, and forget last open tabs. We've also made the cursor color customizable as well as added a setting to define the launch shell.
Bug Fixes
Several bugs were fixed; check them all out here.
Get it today
You can get the latest release of Pantheon Terminal from our daily PPA (as always). If you’re running Luna Beta, you’ll get it automatically in your updates. You can also grab the source code from lp:pantheon-terminal.

Best terminal i've used ever!
The true transparency works great and the tabs looks nice, and still so lightweight!
I am so happy i found elementary os!
Hi, how can I use the new settings? There is now panel to set this things. THX!
Install dconf-editor and go to org.pantheon.terminal.settings
I see that it uses a 16 color palette. Any chance on getting that updated to 256?
coool
Could you please also release a source archive (like was done for 0.1) which can be used by others to package pantheon-terminal for other distributions?
Already added it on Launchpad.
it's really nice 。When to release the Luna final version?
When it's ready :)
Split support (vertical/horizontal), please please please
I advise you to use tmux or screen for splitting.
Completely agreed, tmux and GNU Screen give you tabs, splitting and all kinds of useful stuff. They're both easy to learn too!
You can still report a bug report asking for splitting, and we'll consider it!
The "color themes" link is broken. It should be https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018140 .
Fixed, thanks.
When I updated, it still said that I was using Pantheon Terminal 0.1
We only bumped the version to 0.2 on the About dialog and whatnot today, the source tarball I just uploaded fixes that and it should be 0.2 on next update.
It should be rolling out over the next couple of days.
me too
My favorite terminal !
I quite love how it looks and his behavior, saving tabs is really nice for programmers !
