Fedora 38: 2023-0418511dfe Moderate: Kitty Security Update

fedora

Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest Fedora 38 update introduces kitty version 0.28.1, incorporating essential security enhancements aimed at optimizing overall system efficiency.
version 0.28.1, backport security fix.

Summary

- Offloads rendering to the GPU for lower system load and buttery smooth

scrolling. Uses threaded rendering to minimize input latency.

- Supports all modern terminal features: graphics (images), unicode, true-color,

OpenType ligatures, mouse protocol, focus tracking, bracketed paste and

several new terminal protocol extensions.

- Supports tiling multiple terminal windows side by side in different layouts

without needing to use an extra program like tmux.

- Can be controlled from scripts or the shell prompt, even over SSH.

- Has a framework for Kittens, small terminal programs that can be used to

extend kitty's functionality. For example, they are used for Unicode input,

Hints and Side-by-side diff.

- Supports startup sessions which allow you to specify the window/tab layout,

working directories and programs to run on startup.

- Cross-platform: kitty works on Linux and macOS, but because it uses only

OpenGL for rendering, it should be trivial to port to other Unix-like

platforms.

- Allows you to open the scrollback buffer in a separate window using arbitrary

programs of your choice. This is useful for browsing the history comfortably

in a pager or editor.

- Has multiple copy/paste buffers, like vim.
