Xfce Terminal 1.0.0 is a Feature-Packed Major Upgrade After a Year
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
The popular terminal emulator found on almost all Xfce-powered distributions, Xfce Terminal has just released its first major upgrade under a new maintainer (and a new versioning scheme).
|
||
|
||
Let us take a look at some highlights of the release.
|
||
|
||
### New Maintainer & Versioning Scheme
|
||
|
||
Igor Zakharov was leading the development from 2016 until 2020. Unfortunately, it was left unmaintained in 2021 when the new maintainer, [Sergios][1] Anestis Kefalidis (also a developer of Thunar file manager), took over the responsibility.
|
||
|
||
And, since Sergios took over the project, the versioning scheme has changed. After consultation with the community, Thunar’s old versioning scheme was adopted.
|
||
|
||
For instance, version 1.1.x will be the development release, and 1.2.0 will be the next major upgrade.
|
||
|
||
Now, with the release of Xfce Terminal 1.0.0, a number of exciting new features have been packed in.
|
||
|
||
### New Features
|
||
|
||
Some new features in Xfce Terminal 1.0.0 include:
|
||
|
||
* Improved customization options
|
||
* Overlay scrollbar support
|
||
* Command-line option improvements
|
||
* More use of XfceTitledDialog
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Better Customization Options
|
||
|
||
As with many application updates these days, Xfce Terminal 1.0.0 includes plenty of new customization options. Perhaps my favorite, the image background feature now has a ‘Fill’ style option. This is accompanied by the ability to temporarily disable the unsafe paste dialog, which has also been revamped.
|
||
|
||
Finally, XFCE Terminal has also become one of the first apps to support the new XFCE shortcuts editor. As a result, users no longer need to dive into configuration files, instead of being given a simple UI to use.

|
||
|
||
With so many new customization options, I’m sure many people would be happy with a release containing just these. But alas! The developer has managed to squeeze in yet more exciting new features, the next of which is the improved command-line arguments.
|
||
|
||
#### Better Command Line Arguments
|
||
|
||
With this release, ‘–tab’ and ‘–window’ command line arguments have been fixed to be more intuitive. This fixes a rather [longstanding bug][3] in XFCE Terminal that has been known for almost 6 years.
|
||
|
||
Despite the long wait, it has now been fixed. Better late than never, eh?
|
||
|
||
Anyway, it is always great to see bugs squashed with every new release, and this trend continues here.
|
||
|
||
#### More Use Of Xfce-Specific Widgets
|
||
|
||
Although I’m sure many users will probably see this as a downgrade, XFCE Terminal’s use of more XFCE-specific widgets brings numerous advantages. While it does mean more dependencies for non-XFCE users, it means better integration with XFCE.
|
||
|
||
It is safe to say that most of the Xfce terminal users stick to the same desktop environment. So, this change should result in greater consistency and UX improvements.
|
||
|
||
#### Other Changes
|
||
|
||
Other changes in this release include:
|
||
|
||
* ‘Scrolling on ouput’ preference improvements
|
||
* Right-click behavior customization options
|
||
* Code reworking for a smaller codebase
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
For a full list of features, feel free to refer to the [release notes][4]. The release notes also mention future plans for the next major release, v1.2.0.
|
||
|
||
### Wrapping Up
|
||
|
||
Overall, Xfce Terminal 1.0.0 is looking to be a great release and goes to show the dedication of its new maintainer.
|
||
|
||
If you want to try Xfce Terminal 1.0.0, it should be landing in your distribution’s repositories in the following weeks, if not already.
