Termy v0.2.40

Termy v0.2.40 delivers a major expansion of the plugin platform, more reliable terminal rendering, and stronger runtime behavior across desktop, CLI, FFI, and PTY integrations.

Highlights

Fixed missing cursors in Pi and Claude Code.

Significantly expanded the Termy plugin API and native plugin UI.

Improved terminal, PTY, SSH, CLI, and FFI reliability.

Preserved Termy’s established settings design and controls.

Terminal rendering

Fixed Pi and Claude Code input cursors not appearing.

Reverse-video cells now receive an explicit background when tools hide the terminal cursor and draw their own.

Improved handling of default foreground and background colors.

Added regression coverage for reverse-video cursor rendering.

Improved terminal input, tab lifecycle, tmux actions, and rendering behavior.

Plugins

Added declarative command availability conditions based on:
- Selected text
- Working-directory availability
- Native or tmux runtime
- Operating syste- Added asynchronous, searchable pick inputs.

Added stable window, tab, and pane IDs for targeting terminal actions.

Added cancellation signals and progress reporting for long-running operations.

Added explicit actions for:
- Sending text to terminals
- Opening tabs, splits, and windows
- Launching shell commands and structured programs

Added native view parameters and navigation with view.open, view.replace, and view.close.

Expanded native plugin UI with:
- Text areas
- Select controls
- Searchable lists
- List items
- Empty states
- Progress indicators

Improved keyboard navigation across native plugin controls.

Added lifecycle events for:
- Pane activation
- Tab creation and closure
- Terminal bells
- Command starts

Added Git tools and todo-list example plugins.

Expanded plugin validation, tests, documentation, and TypeScript definitions.

Runtime and platform reliability

Extracted and simplified the Alacritty-backed terminal runtime.

Strengthened PTY resource limits and Windows PTY behavior.

Improved SSH session handling.

Improved CLI config editing and runtime behavior.

Hardened the headless terminal and C-compatible FFI APIs.

Improved CI stability and release lockfile synchronization.

Interface

Retained Termy’s previous settings design system.

Restored the established buttons, selects, switches, text fields, badges, and feedback components.

Preservedxisting settings workflows for plugins, SSH hosts, themes, and confirmations.

Removed the temporary Glassy UI dependency and integration.

Maintenance

Removed the obsolete hosted API service and deployment configuration.

Removed tracked local Wrangler and website environment state.

Improved website release handling.

Updated architecture, plugin, development, and contributor documentation.

The UI revert was also committed and pushed to main as 3cd69772.
