Saltbush Terminal: version history
1.3.1 (2026-11-09)
Fixed
- Lua
regex.find,regex.match,expect_regexandon(…, 'regex')now accept PCRE features (lookahead, lookbehind, back-references, inline flags) as SyncTERM-Lua does. lordbot.lua and twbot.lua stopped with a “bad regex” error.
1.3.0 (2026-11-09)
Added
- Windows version: installer (per user, Start menu shortcut, uninstaller) and a portable zip. Built-in SSH, scripting (Python and Lua), Telnet, RLogin, serial (COM ports), local shells (PowerShell or cmd) and Zmodem work on Windows; credential passwords use Windows Credential Manager.
- Built-in Zmodem (ported from Lantern Terminal's engine), used on Linux and Windows. Downloads still start by themselves; uploads start when the host is ready to receive.
- A program icon of its own (taskbar, window list, menus, the Windows exe and installer).
Changed
- Each tab now has its close button inside it (middle-click also closes a tab).
Fixed
- Lua scripts did not have the standard
debuglibrary (SyncTERM-Lua and Lantern scripts may use it). - High CPU use: the built-in SSH engine busy-waited for data, and the window redrew itself continuously. An idle window now uses almost no CPU.
- Scripts could connect to the session's port instead of the application when a session had a port number set (the variable names clashed).
1.3.1 is the first public release. Earlier builds were private test versions.
