iTerm overview

iTerm is a fork of the older iTerm project. iTerm is a Terminal replacement and the successor of iTerm. It focuses on speed, internationalization, and building new features to improve your life.

What’s new in version 3.6.6

New Features:
  • Added setting to show per-pane title bars when there is only one pane.
  • If the previous release left you with red tabs in a tmux window, this one will offer to fix them.
  • Add KeePassXC integration in password manager.
  • There's a new key binding action to toggle a checkbox of your choosing in settings.
  • Add support for OSC 9;4 progress bars.
  • Add support for DECDSR 997 and DECSET/DECRESET 2031 for dark mode reporting.
  • Cursor animation can now be enabled always. Previously it only happened in interactive apps.
Improvements:
  • Reduce an occasional jitter after a command prompt.
  • Add support for symbolic hotkeys to older macOS versions.
  • You can now switch between color spaces in the color picker.
  • Added support for the device colorspace in the color picker.
  • Added support for OSC 52 in DA response.
  • Provide useful information when a profile's command fails to start.
  • Improve visibility of selected tab in Tahoe when using tab colors.
  • Improve performance of moving cursor a long distance with option-click.
  • Fix performance issue after using search.
  • When doing bracketed paste from advanced paste with "wait for prompt" enabled, do not include brackets around newlines. That way the commands will be sent for shells like zsh and fish.
  • When a force touch could do either quicklook or dictionary lookup, show a disambiguation menu.
  • Add support for undo/redo in "engage AI" dialog box.
  • Add more options for how to position and size windows. Make the default more like 3.5.x, which respsected the profile's size, but using Smart Placement.
  • AI commands can now optionally be run through Apple Intelligence as a safety check. If ChatGPT decides it wants to pwn you, this makes it a little harder.
  • Command info now shows the number of lines of output.
  • Baseline-relative timestamps are now color-coded.
  • Browser will show better SSL errors.
  • In tmux integration, terminal reports in response to OSC 1337 codes are now sent.
  • Tooltips in Minimal now use the proper light/dark theme.
  • All AI chat messages are now copyable.
  • AI models updated.
Bug Fixes:
  • Automatically unbury tmux integration clients when we can't restore the tmux session on attach. If you get a zillion windows on first launch of this version, that could be why (they tended to pile up).
  • Fix various crashes.
  • Fix $$HOST$$ and $$USER$$ substitution.
  • The colorpicker's eyedropper is now smarter about color spaces.
  • Fix a bug where images would disappear after folding and unfolding a region.
  • Fix various graphical imperfections in Tahoe.
  • Disable menu item "Move to new window" when there is only one tab.
  • Fixed a bug where you couldn't delete annotations.
  • Fix bugs in the status bar filter component.
  • Fix UI bugs in editing triggers.
  • Fix a bug where the context menu incorrectly characterized ssh integration downloads as scp.
  • Make the stoplight buttons behave better on macOS 26.
  • Fix a bug where ssh integration downloads would sometimes happen over scp.
  • Fix a bug where some items were missing from the list of key binding actions.

The v3.3.6 update is CRITICAL due to an ancient security flaw just discovered, CVE-2019-9535. More here: '7-Year-Old Critical RCE Flaw Found in Popular iTerm2 macOS Terminal App' https://thehackernews.com/2019/10/iterm2-macos-terminal-rce.html
