Terminal 1.21 is finally stable! It brings in a crazy number of improvements, and we once considered it a "large" release. Oh boy.

Here are the highlights:

• Terminal will now remember what was on your screen when you exit, and can restore it if you'd like!
• You can specify multiple active fonts, which will be used in order.
• Box and line drawing glyphs are now rendered pixel-perfect with appropriate stippled shading
• We've rewritten the IME (input method editor) integration to make life much easier for those of you who need to input Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and more
• Scrollbar marks are finally generally available!
• We will now show and highlight all search results at the same time when you search (thansk @tusharsnx!)
• The old text rendering engine has been removed.

Please see the following release notes for additional details.

• Windows Terminal Preview v1.21.1772.0
• Windows Terminal Preview v1.21.1382.0
• Windows Terminal Preview v1.21.1272.0

[!NOTE] This version began rolling out to the Dev, Canary and Beta Windows Insider channels when this GitHub Release was created. Other channels will be released as our reliability numbers indicate that we haven't broken anything. If you want to update to this release directly, download it below!

Why are there so many files? How do I choose?
