Terminaux 7.0 Beta 4 Announcement
As we are closer to the final release (that we’ve prepared for you), we’ve released the fourth beta version of Terminaux 7.0 that concludes the beta program that we’ve started almost three months ago. Terminaux 7.0 brought many interesting changes, and this beta version is the latest representation of those improvements. We’ve primed the final version of Terminaux 7.0 for documentation and for testing to find bugs even before release.
We are very excited to announce that Terminaux 7.0 Beta 4 is now available on NuGet as version 7.0.0-beta4
, which you can download to your project using the following command:
$ dotnet add package Terminaux --version 7.0.0-beta4
This version of Terminaux 7.0 brings many changes that were done after the third beta version released July 3rd. You can access the source code for the fourth beta version here on GitLab.
We’ve added theme color tools, which allows you to theme your Terminaux applications according to either the pre-defined theme type or the custom theme type that you define in your theme JSON file. This is a 1:1 implementation copied and moved straight from Nitrocid with appropriate modifications done, due to the older template tools being unsuitable for use with Nitrocid. Themes also support accents, which give a dynamic look to your Terminaux applications based on your color accent.
We’ve also added all features from Nitrocid’s shell implementation, effectively removing the implementation from the Nitrocid codebase. This is to make Terminaux applications using the shell features more powerful than never before. With features like MESH scripting, command redirects, and filesystem support, your applications now became more powerful than before! You can now more easily autocomplete the paths, and you can write scripts for your applications to automate the shell operations.
We’ve also added a new feature that most libraries don’t have, but appeals to users that prefer their native language. Starting from the fourth beta, your applications can now be localized! With the new localization feature powered by LocaleStation, you can now make your Terminaux application use your native language supported by our libraries! Common languages like French, Spanish, and Portuguese are available for you to try out, and you can use the existing APIs in the LocaleStation library to make Terminaux applications determine what language to use depending on your system culture settings, such as pt-BR for Portuguese (Brazil).
Of course, we’d improved the performance of your Terminaux applications when it comes to prompting users for a huge list of selections, which is tedious on the processor. We are speaking huge amounts like 700,000 choices! The final release brings more, but Terminaux 7.0 Beta 4 is the start of such improvements!
