This discussion was created from the release WindTerm 2.2.0.

[kingToolbox]

Thanks to everyone who cares and helps, without you, there would be no new WindTerm_2.2.0 version released. ❤️

[eugenov]

Hello, thanks for hard work, I believe WT will be universal terminal tool! I wait patiently for macros :)

[kingToolbox]

Please wait patiently for a while, I should be able to start developing macros feature early next year. Please stay tuned, thank you.

[xywf221]

Since I switched from windows to MacOS, I haven't encountered any easy-to-use SSH tools. This is an amazing project. Please insist

[kingToolbox]

Sorry, I made a mistake again. This time it's macos instead of macros. 😅 The MacOS version has already started to be compiled, and if everything goes well, it is expected to be released as soon as mid-December. I hope WindTerm can bring a little convenience to your work.

[xywf221]

😄

[kingToolbox]

Hi, I am glad the new MacOS version WindTerm_2.3.0_Prerelease_2_Mac_Portable was released, you can download and check it, thank you.

[eugenov]

Mean no offence, but this repo is spammed with issues in Chinese. Guys, English is international IT language, I cannot work with them as I need to translate every chinese issue to search for resolving or if I need to post mine (to not duplicate). Let's respect each other. Peace
