- Ghostty now has a public Discord server for community discussions and beta program expansion.
- A talk on Ghostty's implementation will be given at Zig Showtime on September 5th.
- Keyboard input handling is complex due to non-standard layouts, dead keys, and Unicode sequences; Ghostty now supports these cross-platform.
- Ghostty implements the Kitty Keyboard Protocol and xterm modified keys, enabling more keybindings in terminal programs.
- Linux/GTK improvements include single instance mode, primary clipboard support, automatic shell integration, and better keyboard layout handling.
- Ghostty is now a top-tier GTK Linux terminal, though still behind macOS, with thanks to beta testers for feedback.
