Termy v0.2.21

This release turns Plugins into a proper extension platform. Plugins can now render safe native interfaces, store data, expose settings, and react to terminal events. Terminal rendering also received a healthy performance diet.

Plugins

Build native tools using TSX and Termy’s allowlisted UI components.

Plugin interfaces are validated and rendered safely through GPUI—no React, HTML, or direct renderer access.

Added buttons, checkboxes, text inputs, layouts, dividers, and semantic styling.

Added persistent JSON storage and plugin-specific data/cache directories.

Added typed plugin settings, including toggles, text, secrets, and selects.

Added lifecycle events for terminal readiness, tab changes, working-directory changes, and completed commands.

Added plugin commands to Termy’s keybinding system.

Added a complete Todo plugin example.

Added automatic bundling, content hashing, Worker reloads, and cached builds.

Added plugin management through Settings → Plugins.

Expanded the CLI with init, add, dev, update, status, enable, disable, and uninstall.

Plugin capabilities

Plugins must explicitly declare the Termy APIs they use:

{ "$schema": "https://termy.sh/schemas/plugin.schema.json", "apiVersion": 1, "id": "todos", "name": "Todos", "capabilities": ["storage", "native-ui"] }

storage enables persistent storage and plugin data paths.

native-ui enables native views and view.open.

Added a public JSON Schema for validation and editor autocomplete.

Capabilities gate Termy APIs, but plugins remain trusted local Bun code with normal system access.

Performance

Terminal wakeups are now event-driven and coalesced per terminal.

Only terminals with pending events are processed.

Damaged render rows are updated in batches with fewer allocations and clones.

Search results share line data instead of duplicating strings.

Redundant resize damage and redraw work has been reduced.

Performance benchmarks now enforce CPU, memory, frame, hitch, and idle-wakeup measurements more strictly.

Fixed

Fixed right-click handling in mouse-aware terminal applications.

Fixed toast ID collisions that could dismiss the wrong plugin toast.

Fixed native plugin dialogs leaking input and shortcuts into the terminal.

Native plugin views can now be closed using the X button or Escape.

Improved plugin failure handling and Worker recovery.

Fixed production TLS initialization for the API.

Fixed the API Docker image’s glibc compatibility.

Documentation and website

Renamed “TypeScript Plugins” to simply Plugins.

Reorganized plugin documentation into dedicated sidebar pages.

Added guides for native UI, commands, context, lifecycle events, storage, security, and runtime limits.

Published the plugin manifest schema.

Reduced homepage animation cost and optimized image assets.

Improved static asset serving and release-page rendering.
