This is fantastic. I love the new look, and the font rendering seems to be even nicer than before.

I love iTerm2, I keep up with the "current" beta versions, using them all day in production.

I would love it if they'd make a "dark" titlebar version of the window chrome. My setup currently has windows without any titlebar at all (thanks to iTerm for that feature!), but it makes rearranging windows challenging.

I look forward to trying out the newer features!

(author here). I pushed out a promotion today to let users know about the new version before auto-updating everyone. It breaks backward compatibility with applescript, so it'll be a rough upgrade for some folks.

I'd love to hear any thoughts on how to make this less painful.

My first experiment with in-app advertising (promoting the beta version through a popup dialog) has gone well, with a 31% click-through rate, and of those 25% downloaded the beta.

Thanks for the great app! Setting marks in the new beta has saved me hours of flipping back and forth to see when a command finishes!

There is already the need for standardization on inline images, as notty uses another approach than iTerm2, which uses another approach than Terminology.

George, longtime iTerm 2 user here - thanks for all your hard work; I can't count how many hours of productivity I've saved by using iTerm.

I've given a donation in the past - and anyone else interested can see the big donate button on the site.
