DOWNLOAD TERMINOLOGY 0.3

What is it?

Terminology is a new terminal emulator. It started life during a vacation in Thailand in June of 2012. So it is young and fresh, so it's not perfect, but it's getting there.

What does it do?

It emulates a slightly extended vt100 with some extensions and bling thrown in.

The above list of features and then then some work currently, with maybe some things not completely implemented yet. Much more has yet to come, so this is not done by any means.

Features

There are quite a range of nice features already supported, ranging from the basic ones you'd expect, to things you never expected of a terminal.
