Release info Update on Oct 23, 2026
Release notes Contour 0.8.0 turns the shell's command history into something you can see and act on:
command blocks with exit-status marks, output folding, a gutter with line numbers and
timestamps, a sticky command header and finish notifications, driven by OSC 133 or, on
recent systemd, by OSC 3008 context tracking with no setup at all. It detects URLs and file
paths in terminal output and opens them with Ctrl+click, replaces the search prompt with a
GUI-native find bar, and adds kitty graphics animation frames. Terminal output throughput
is up several-fold, reflow and resize keep text and the cursor where they belong, and a
broad round of fixes covers Windows, Flatpak, daemon mode, SSH and the settings page.

Tabs, splits and layouts
• Adds tab_color to profiles, giving newly opened tabs a default color while preserving layout, application and user overrides (#2152)
• Fixes closing a pane or tab keeping its session — terminal, scrollback and threads — in memory until Contour exited. A program that ignores the terminal's hangup signal is now ended 200 ms after its pane closes, as WezTerm does, and a tab no longer leaks the picture of itself it takes for the drag cursor when its window closes mid-grab

Window and desktop integration
• Adds remember_window_position to restore the first window’s position and monitor at startup without saving its size (#2164).
• Adds the global option snap_to_rows to align window heights to complete terminal rows, avoiding unused space below a bottom status line. Available in Settings and disabled by default (#2158).
• Adds notification_close_timeout, for the one thing the notification portal cannot do: tell an application that its notification was dismissed. Where a close cannot be observed, Contour now assumes one after this long (10 seconds by default) and reports it back over OSC 99 marked untracked, so an application that asked for close events with c=1 is answered instead of waiting forever, and can still tell a guess from an observation.
