As far as the features are concerned, the new Windows Terminal app includes multiple tab support. Furthermore, it supports themes and more customization for developers who want to tweak the Terminal app. Microsoft has also included support for Unicode and UTF-8 characters and a DirectX-based GPU accelerated text rendering engine. This GPU accelerated engine will also enhance the processing speed of text-based commands.
The terminal app can be tweaked by developers and its visual appearance can be customized using the JSON file. Kayla Cinnamon, the Program Manager for Windows Terminal, Console, & Command-Line, stated that: “This is the first of several preview releases to the Microsoft Store. The Terminal team is working towards creating a consistent schedule that offers regular previews and more frequent builds for those who want to get access to the latest features as they arrive. Windows Terminal 1.0 will arrive in the Microsoft Store this winter!”
