What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Opening a new window session was not using the window size of the current window.
· That was causing a problem for people with 25-line screens because the new window was opening as a standard 24-line screen.
· Now, all new windows opened will use the size of the current window as the new window size (if the preferences are set to remember window positions and size).
