Windows Terminal v1.14.196

[DHowett]

This servicing release of Windows Terminal v1.14 originally became available in the GA channel on July 19th.

Warning
There is a known issue in this release of Windows Terminal that may result in difficulty restoring the Terminal window from a minimized state.

Preinstallation Kit info

A preinstallation kit is available for system integrators and OEMs interested in prepackaging Windows Terminal with a Windows image. More information is available in the DISM documentation on preinstallation. Users who do not intend to preinstall Windows Terminal should continue using the msixbundle distribution.

Why are there so many packages? How do I choose?

This version of Windows Terminal is distributed in two bundles, one of which works on Windows 10-11 and the other of which only works on Windows 11. The Windows 11 version is much smaller because we no longer need to work around a platform issue related to our dependencies.

If you intend on using Terminal as an unpackaged application--that is, extracting the msix file--we recommend that
you use the Win10 bundle. You will need the Visual C++ runtime redistributable.

In addition, if you install the packaged version on either Windows 10 or Windows 11, it now depends on the Visual C++ Universal Runtime Package.

Despite these distributions having different version numbers, they are built from the same code and there is no
functional difference between them.

If you install the Windows 10 verison on Windows 11, it will probably automatically upgrade itself to the Windows 11
version. It turns out that it is impossible to have two bundles with the same version number, so it has to be this
way.

It contains the following fixes:

• Enabling "read-only" mode for a pane will no longer result in a read only dialog appearing every time you focus, un-focus, move, highlight, or otherwise interact with the terminal inside it. Sorry about that! (Send focus events even in ReadOnly mode #13483)
• We've enabled word wrapping on more of the tooltips in the application (Wrap the tooltips on the new tab button #13463)
• The "Quake ™️ mode" window will no longer launch in full screen when the full screen launch mode is selected (Don't set full screen to quake window #13473)
• The "debug tap" now includes line breaks to make it easier to read (Add line breaks in the debug tap output #13475)
