Dear All,

Yes you've read correctly! Microsoft released the code of its terminal + the Windows console host (conhost.exe) under MIT license at:

https://github.com/microsoft/Terminal

I think this is a really great move!! This can definitively help us for:

• first, allowing us to improve our existing console code,
• and in the future, getting our console architecture Win10-compatible (...)

This also means that anybody can contribute back to their code via pull-requests, or at least creating issues.

For those using Windows 10, they plan releasing „official“ builds starting June 2019 according to their posts:
