Any other open source projects using it? Curious how they set the rewards and objectives.

I use it to donate to exercism. It's nice to see other contributions

Earlier quoted context omitted.

In SemVer [1], it's prescribed that the first number is for breaking changes, the second number for new features, and the third number for fixes. So this would be v3.0.0. It also allows you to add a suffix though for beta-type versions, so the beta would be v3.0.0-beta, or v3.0.0-rc1, etc. [1] http://semver.org/

SemVer works great for libraries, but it falls apart for actual software IMO. How would you define a "breaking change" in a software ? Would it be a complete redesign ? Or maybe a feature removal (Does that ever happen ?) Versions are supposed to convey meaning over how much has changed to the app between two versions. iTerm got soooooo many new features in this new version, anything smaller than a major bump would f…

AppleScript isn't backwards compatible, sounds like that would fit just about any definition of a breaking change.

I'm sure I'm missing iTerm2's big appeal, but every time I try to use it, I find myself going back to Terminal.app, which I find more responsive and just as featureful, especially when combined with zsh and a windowing manager. That's probably just because I'm familiar with it and I didn't come from tmux or anything similar, but I keep hoping I'll be "enlightened" at some point and realize the error of my ways ;)

Command clicking on backtraces to open that line in my editor is pretty bloody great. Although if you've rigged up some way to do that with the keyboard alone you're unlikely to be impressed I suppose.

It seems to resolve paths relative to the working directory and passes them to `open`. It works for URLs too.

iTerm is OSX' killer app. Couldn't find anything similar on Windows. I used MobaXTerm which is ok but never feels as polished and slick as iTerm. Especially iTerm's own fullscreen mode which allows to quickly alt-tab is great.

OSX-only apps that I absolutely love and consider must-haves:

Free: Iterm2 Spectacles Sip

Not free: Dash Textmate (I use it as the equivalent of Windows' Notepad.exe) Transmit Sketch Paw

If anyone has any other suggestions for things that they consider must-haves, I'd love to know about them so I can try them out!

> iTerm2 has been updated for the modern Mac OS X "flat" look and is stunningly beautiful.

It does look very polished! Just two things:

When you choose "No title bar", the rounded corners and drop shadows all disappear so it looks a bit too "sharp".

And it would be really great if you can add an option to specify internal padding, similar to urxvt's internalBorder.

Great work and thanks again!

putty is the defacto standard Windows SSH terminal. (Though that's not what iterm is.)

Can't put my finger on it but putty isn't on the level iTerm2 is

I like Bartender to keep my menu bar clean.

iStatMenus gives you a nice view into various resources and temps.
