If you’ve been over to my Terminator page you may have noticed that I use Launchpad for basically all of the services of releasing.
Taking this one step further, I have been building packages for Ubuntu Gutsy with Launchpad’s excellent PPA service. Details for how to get your Terminator goodness from PPA have been added to the Terminator Homepage.

Terminator 0.4 is out. It’s more of a bugfix release than the expected feature (per-terminal profiles). That is still some way off unless anyone feels like working up a patch? ;)
As usual, please head over here for the goodness.

Terminator 0.3 is out, with the expected Terminal closing feature. This really makes the Splitting from 0.2 much more useful.
As usual, please head over here for the goodness.
NOTE: There is a bug preventing zsh users from using terminator. See the bug on Launchpad for full details.

Two days in a row! This is not going to be a continuous thing, but since it’s the weekend I have been hacking on Terminator a lot.
This is a big release for me, it finally brings in one of the crucial features required to make this more than just a script for 4 terminals in a window - you can now split terminals on demand. Right click on one and you can turn it into two terminals, horizontally or vertically.
My roadmap currently is to have 0.3 allow you to remove terminals. 0.4 will then concentrate on loading/saving some kind of profile so you don’t have to do a complex splitting procedure each time you start Terminator. I’m not sure if many other features will get in between 0.4 and 1.0, because there is lots to do on the gconf and gnome-terminal emulation.
Head on over to Terminator’s page for various links, including the download link.

I’ve just pushed out the first release ever of Terminator, a python script to make a window have multiple Terminals in it.
It’s still very rough around the edges. And the middle. But it’s there!
Rather than repeat myself here, just click over to the Terminator page for full details.
