This discussion was created from the release WindTerm 2.7.0 Prerelease 3.

[kingToolbox]

This is expected to be the last prerelease for version 2.7.0, provided no critical issues arise. The official release, with x64 versions for Windows, Linux, and macOS, will be built and made available in the coming days.

Glad to see the update, finally got to upgrade from 2.6 to 2.7.

#2500
I customized a ui style, my only regret is that the title bar can only be removed in full screen, it would be nice if it could be hidden in focus mode as well.

已经更新到2.7.0 Prerelease 3版本了，目前没发现什么Bug，而且作者大大已经修复了2.7.0 Prerelease 2版本上rz的Bug，真是太给力了！

更新到2.7.0 Prerelease 3后，我发现默认的黑色主题的字体更好看了，不知道是不是作者大大更新了默认字体，比之前版本的字体更圆润，看着更舒服了，不知道是不是我的错觉，反正看着比以前舒服了，给作者一个大大的赞！

用了这么多SSH工具，基本上市面上所有的SSH工具都用过，对比下来，除了XShell比较好用之外，WindTerm是当之无愧的SSH工具之神，没有之一！不要说Tabby，那玩意垃圾的一批，卡的要命，内存占用巨高，你们可以看看WindTerm内存占用，基本可以控制在100MB以内，就连付费的Termius的内存占用都很爆表，而且Termius连个隧道功能都得付费才能使用，格局太小了！

希望作者大大坚持维护下去，WindTerm真的是一个非常不错的项目，我已经给身边的好多同事和朋友安利了WindTerm，都是一致的好评，有的之前用Finalshell的被我安利了Windterm之后说比Finalshell丝滑太多了。所以希望作者大大加油，我会一直支持WindTerm！
