- Ghostty's closed beta expanded from 30 to ~100 users, with larger waves of 15-20 now due to increased stability.
- Significant GUI progress on Linux (headerbar menu, wide tabs, Wayland support) and macOS (forced dark/light mode, faded unfocused splits) for native platform feel.
- Transition from TERM=xterm-ghostty to TERM=ghostty is ongoing; blocked by a Vim bug (hardcoded terminal list) and upstream issues in Go's tcell library, with community fixes submitted.
- Implemented XTGETTCAP to enable remote terminfo queries via VT escape sequences, using Zig compile-time generation for fast, allocation-free performance.
- Added support for variable fonts (e.g., Inconsolata) with configurable variation axes (like weight), a rare feature among terminal emulators.
