iTerm
Current Version: 0.9.6.1021 (October 22, 2008)
iTerm is a full featured terminal emulation program written for OS X using Cocoa. It supports language encodings, VT100/ANSI/XTERM emulation and many convenient GUI features. iTerm is merged from CTerminal and TerminalX. The program is based on the code of JTerminal, and a large part of the original code is rewritten to implement more features and to run more efficiently. The current version is still in a beta stage. Features include:
- Native Cocoa application that supports Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
- Supports all language encodings that are available with OS X.
- Complete VT100 emulation, with additional support for most common xterm and ANSI escape sequences.
- Xterm compatibility
- Address book
- Anti-idle function that avoids disconnection because of no activity
- Transparent windows
- Multi-Tab within one window
Version 0.9.6.1021 adds/changes the following:
- Fixed a bug that cause crashes when using vim.
- 256 Color palette support.
- Improved URL handling for ssh/ftp/telnet.
- iTerm no longer sends a growl alert for a bell event if the winodw is the key window.
- Highlight window when it's in the "send input to all tab" mode.
- Better handling of "fork" errors.
- The anti-idle is no longer sent to all tabs when "send input to all tabs" is on.
- Other minor UI changes and bug fixes.
User Reviews
[0.8.2] "I really liked the tabbed terminal, which is similar to Konsole in KDE, but it lagged when I was typing since my powerbook is only 867MHz. GLTerm was much faster on my powerbook, but GLTerm doesn't do tabs. :-("
