🆕 Features

• Introduced a new buffer implementation based on typed arrays that recycles memory (#1641, #1731, #1736, #1740, #1793, #1812) via @jerch.

  Comparison of the buffer implementations, benchmarked with the demo with 1000 lines scrollback and typical payload (ls output):

  buffer based on	memory footprint	GC runtime	input throughput
  JS Array	25 - 50 MB JS Heap, 6 MB C++ Heap	15 - 25 %	7 - 8 MB/s
  Typed Array	8 - 15 MB JS Heap, 1.5 MB C++ Heap	< 3 %	17 - 19 MB/s

  The typed array based implementation is the new default, if you run into issues please report them and switch back to the old buffer using:

  new Terminal({ experimentalBufferLineImpl: 'JsArray' })

• Handle blob data in the attach addon (#1355) via @AlexandrePetit-Pas

🆕 API

For the latest version of the API, check the typings file for the version you're interested in.

• Added a new experimental "Markers" API (#1338) via @Tyriar, this allows tracking specific lines within the terminal. This is needed as line indexes are insufficient since the terminal can trim lines from the top of the scrollback buffer and lines within the viewport can change.

  export interface IMarker extends IDisposable {
    readonly id: number;
    readonly isDisposed: boolean;
    readonly line: number;
  }
  
  export class Terminal {
    /**
     * (EXPERIMENTAL) Get all markers registered against the buffer. If the alt
     * buffer is active this will always return [].
     */
    markers: IMarker[];
  
    /**
     * (EXPERIMENTAL) Adds a marker to the normal buffer and returns it. If the
     * alt buffer is active, undefined is returned.
     * @param cursorYOffset The y position offset of the marker from the cursor.
     */
    addMarker(cursorYOffset: number): IMarker;
  }
  

  Any feedback on this API would be appreciated as it's not set in stone.

• Added an API to select a range of lines (#1338) via @Tyriar:

  /**
   * Selects text in the buffer between 2 lines.
   * @param start The 0-based line index to select from (inclusive).
   * @param end The 0-based line index to select to (inclusive).
   */
  selectLines(start: number, end: number): void;
  

• Added an API to scroll to a particular line (#1338) via @Tyriar:

  /**
   * Scrolls to a line within the buffer.
   * @param line The 0-based line index to scroll to.
   */
  scrollToLine(line: number): void;
