Keep informed about Fedora 39's kitty update, which tackles security vulnerabilities related to CVE-2023-36309 and includes improvements for overall system efficiency.
fix CVE-2023-36308

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.
