What’s new in this release?

The headline addition is a built-in Preferences dialog, accessible from the gear icon in the header bar or the right-click context menu. It covers all settings in one place: font, foreground and background colours, the full 16-colour palette, scrollback length, word character exceptions, audible bell, window decorations, startup command, and TERM variable. Every individual setting has a reset-to-default button.

The Preferences Appearance page includes a new palette editor showing all 16 ANSI colours as two rows of eight swatches (Normal and Bright), each directly editable.

This release also switches the default colour theme to Dracula — foreground #f8f8f2, background #282a36, and the full Dracula 16-colour ANSI palette — replacing the old arbitrary defaults.

Full keybindings are documented here.

I hope you’ll enjoy it. Feel free to propose new features and/or to contribute!
