This project has been abandoned

[kingToolbox]

In the past six months, changes in my work have significantly reduced the amount of time I can dedicate to WindTerm It has become increasingly difficult to maintain it, and therefore I have made the difficult decision to discontinue the project.

To uphold the prestige of green software, all previously downloaded WindTerm will automatically delete itself and be sent to the recycle bin at 23:59 on April 1st. This is to prevent any unnecessary waste of your valuable disk space. Please ensure that your computer is turned on at that time. Thank you very much for your cooperation and support.

Okay, the above is just a joke for today :smile:. However, the changes in my work have indeed affected the time I have available for maintaining WindTerm. Unless one day I am willing to fully dedicate myself to full-time development and commercialization of WindTerm, the development timeline may only be one-fifth of what it was before. After all, this is a personal project, and I still need to earn a living to support myself and my family.

While WindTerm has had a promising start, it is far from being the best terminal in the world. There are still over 700 innovative features waiting to be completed, so rest assured that this is my dream and WindTerm will not be easily abandoned. Despite the slow progress, new features are still being developed. A new version WindTerm_2.6.0_Prerelase_2 is soon to be released in the coming days, which will introduce a range of superb new features, including OneKey, Text Mark, Triggers, and much more. Please feel free to download and use it once it's released.

Due to a large backlog of issues and discussions, it will take me some time to respond. I assure you that every issue and discussion will be addressed, and I kindly ask for your patience and understanding. Thank you.

Thank you all for your companionship and unwavering support over the years. I am grateful to every person who submitted issues and to those who generously replied to them during this time. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.

Wow, I was really startled. I received an email about an issue, and its subject made my spine chill. I quickly logged into GitHub to check the issue, only to realize that it was an April Fool's Day prank.

[kingToolbox]

Sorry for my long absence due to various reasons. Also, the version WindTerm_2.6.0_Prerelease_2 which has been under development for six months and was scheduled to be released today cannot be released yet as there are still bugs that need to be fixed.

Therefore, I can only release a joke for now. :smiley:

[zzp198-old]

Oh no... Oh wait let me check the date..

Ha, youre not fooling me

[JackOneil]

Haha, good one. But jokes aside, to be honest in my devops career i havent found any better tool for ssh than this despite some imperfections that it might have, i still use WindTerm over the others. Glad to have you here, you have done excelent work on this, looking forward to new releases.

Welcome back! Thanks for the best terminal.

[xiaowoonly]

I hope Mac OS(Apple silicon) can also use this software.Because I have switched from Windows to Mac OS(Apple silicon). I really like this software.I havent found any better tool for ssh than this despite some imperfections that it might have.

[zengdabo]

winterm is the fastest terminal I ever see! Don't rush to put so many feature in it , It's more important to fix bug and improve compatability! It still can not ssh to aix version of openssh !

[SouiRinn]

I am very pleased to see you update again, although not the best SSH, it is the best.

[gooker]

nice！！

[cc458729102]

Thanks for your dedication, I think this tool is the best SSH client I've ever used! But I want to make a suggestion, whether to consider completely open source, so that more people can help you maintain him together and make it better and better!

[ginshark]

Glad to see this announcement, as it proves you're okay. This is definitely a very useful terminal tool, so even if the update becomes slow. Hope you can enjoy developing this software.

[DogeFlow]

Finally back, looking forward to the release of the new version!

Hi @kingToolbox ,

Are you willing to provide financial support channels? I really hope to express my thanks through the sponsorship, because I am a Linux system administrator, and WindTerm is very helpful to my work.

[RaZZario]

Hi @kingToolbox , please don't joke around like that. This terminal was recommended to me by a colleague of mine, and it was perfect for me. I use it regularly, and I always recommend it to all my friends.

add an opportunity to send you any donate, I hope a community support this.

[nodaemon]

It takes a lot of work to maintain such an nice software. Maybe you can open source all the code, let us help you do it well.

[RaZZario]

don't make this software commercial. let the community help you. what you are doing is awesome!!!

[seanwwh]

I abandoned SecureCRT, abandoned Termius, abandoned Tabby, abandoned Royal TSX, abandoned ZOC, and finally found WindTerm. I really hope that this project will be active forever!!! Thank you very much!!!

Looking forward to it, thank you very much for making such an excellent software, I have been using it since the initial version, I have been waiting for a few months, I hope to add the tree folder as soon as possible

[lxhlxh520]

For me, windterm is very fast and useful, thank you!

[n0rbury]

Good to know that you are sticking with it. Although WindTerm is not perfectly stable and still missing some small features, I found it impossible to find a better alternative for me. So please keep up with the good work and I hope to see the next update soon!

[LceAn]

希望更好的更新下去，加油 另外多说一句：是否考虑美化一下Logo，这个logo在众多软件中看来是有一些奇怪的

[bleomycin]

Glad you are back! Easily my favorite terminal across any OS! Somehow word of its existence just needs to reach more people. Have you tried showing it off on hacker news? I was slowly switching to other much worse software as I figured this was abandoned....very pleased it's not!

[yiqiangenzhen]
