Terminaux 8.6 – Through The Horizon

Since the release of Terminaux 8.0, we make monthly feature updates or bug fix packs that make applications using Terminaux more powerful and reliable. This is part of our broader goal of updating our libraries and applications for improvements and new features.

Starting from today, we are very excited to introduce you to a brand new version of Terminaux, dubbed v8.6, which brings in significant improvements and new features!

Here are some of the new features that we’ve added to this version.

Prosery and Quote

You can now use Terminaux to render a piece of prosery or poetry to your console with an amazing layout with left padding. Terminaux processes text and renders it, optionally wrapping the lines for readability for some text. There are two writers that do this job, which is Prosery and Quote. While the prosery writer is a base writer, the quote writer is derived from the prosery writer so that configuration and behavior is the same.

The quote writer renders quotes in an italic text with author attribution and double quotations around the text.

High-density canvases

We’ve also added high-density canvases to allow you to render more detailed pixel art without worrying about used space in the console. If you create a pixel art in those canvases, you’ll be able to see beautiful pixel art in your console and in high pixel density.

Horizontal scrolling

Previously, Terminaux reported vertical scrolling events when you use horizontal scrolling on your mouse or on your touchpad. This posed limitations on graphical console applications that require horizontal scrolling for better experience, so we’ve decided to add support for such scrolling direction. As a result, Terminaux applications can now distinguish horizontal scrolling from vertical scrolling.

To learn more about this version, as well as instructions on how to upgrade Terminaux, visit Aptivi Newsroom below.

A new version of Terminaux will be released this week!

A brief message about Terminaux 8.6

A new version of Terminaux will be released this week. Built on top of the v8.x version series that we released last year, the v8.6 version will bring lots of interesting changes that we are so thrilled to announce in the release day.

We have finished adding new features that are planned to be available to the public once the release happens. We are currently conducting tests to make sure that we release this version of Terminaux in the highest quality possible.

We will release a separate announcement in the day of release, showcasing the new features that were introduced during the development of this version. We promise that this version will be the most exciting one.

The release will happen on July 16th at 12:00 PM GMT.

Terminaux v8.5 – More Colors!

After the release of Terminaux 8.4, we’re so proud of our efforts to introduce proper FreeBSD support, which went well as expected. It also added some features that made your Terminaux-powered applications more powerful, such as the cowsay renderer that allowed you to render an ASCII art saying or thinking about things that you’ve written, and the timed input.

We are so excited to announce that Terminaux v8.5 is now available as of today! This version of Terminaux includes new color models that are introduced with the Colorimetry v1.1 update, which are:

• YPbPr: Analog video signal carried by the component cable
• YDbDr: Color model for SECAM analog color television broadcasting standard
• LMS: Represents the three types of cone cells in a human eye

Alongside the added support for more color models, we’ve also added the actual color wheel to the color selection TUI, which allows you to get a visual representation of the color that you’ve selected. It provides you with a circular color wheel that shows you all the color hues, as well as a white blip that points to the selected color.

To learn more about this version of Terminaux, as well as more changes that are done since Terminaux 8.4 was released last month, please consult the Aptivi Newsroom article.

Terminaux 6.1.x and 7.0.x EOL Reminder

When Terminaux 6.1.x and 7.0.x were released, we gave them the dates that we are expected to stop providing further updates for these version series. Terminaux 6.1.x focused on adding wrapped writers and modern argument parsing from the Nitrocid codebase, which was an improvement over version 6.0.x that added many features. Meanwhile, v7.0.x focused on adding more features while restructuring critical parts of code and improving the writers.

We are, hereby, announcing that every project that uses both Terminaux 6.1.x and 7.0.x needs to be aware that the end of life date is reaching closer. We have assigned the end of life date for both version series to August 5th, 2026.

We recommend that every project migrate from v6.1.x and v7.0.x version series to the v8.x version series for continuous support, because we are now providing long-term support for the latter version series, as we explained here.

After August 5th, 2026, we won’t provide any new security updates and other updates to v6.1.x and v7.0.x.

We have prepared a migration guide in the GitBook docs in the below links. If you are running Terminaux v6.1.x, you’ll have to perform both steps 1 and 2. However, if you are running v7.0, you can just perform step 2.

Terminaux 8.0 adds audio cues, global password mask for inputs that are related to passwords and other secrets, support for hidden commands, and more features, as well as improvements and bug fixes. Since then, various incremental versions have been released, with v8.4 being the latest for adding support for FreeBSD systems.

One UI 8.5 support for our projects

Samsung has begun rolling out the One UI 8.5 update to Korea early this month and widened the rollout to many countries and models, starting from the Galaxy S25. This is a big moment for those who are owning the Galaxy S25 smartphone, but others will have to wait until it’s their turn.

We are currently planning the One UI 8.5 support for our projects, and our evaluations have concluded that One UI 8.5 is still suffering from the library dependency loading problem that One UI 6.1 broke when it comes to starting up PulseAudio with the below command:

 pulseaudio --start --load="module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1 auth-anonymous=1" --exit-idle-time=-1 

Nitrocid, Terminaux, BassBoom, and all other projects will be tested under this environment over the course of our official support duration. However, in One UI 8.5, PulseAudio needs to be loaded like this:

 LD_PRELOAD=/system/lib64/libskcodec.so pulseaudio --start --load="module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1 auth-anonymous=1" --exit-idle-time=-1 

As of today, we are excited to announce that One UI 8.5 is now fully supported for our projects starting May 28th! We are very thrilled to provide official support for those who are using our projects in One UI 8.5. We can now guarantee that our projects work under this version of One UI that was first unveiled to the Galaxy S26, the A37, and the A57 devices before the official rollout started.

Terminaux v8.4 – Welcome, FreeBSD!

We have released a hotfix version of Terminaux v8.4 to fix input bugs related to FreeBSD, v8.4.0.1. Input should work correctly.

Since Terminaux 8.3, we’ve poured our efforts to introduce support for FreeBSD to all our projects. Our plans for FreeBSD support went well as expected, with experiments being successful. The last version of Terminaux was released to add pixel-accurate progress indicators and to add pane-specific keybindings, which were major additions to Terminaux.

We are so excited to announce that Terminaux v8.4 is now available as of today! This version of Terminaux includes complete support for FreeBSD systems, which resulted from the release of both BassBoom v1.0 and SpecProbe v3.9, both of which added support for FreeBSD systems. Magico has also been updated to support this system, and we have officially started to support those systems with the support timeline outlined here.

Alongside the added support for FreeBSD systems, we’ve also added Cowsay, which introduces an ASCII art character that speaks or thinks about the text that you’ve written.

To learn more about this version of Terminaux, as well as more changes that are done since Terminaux 8.3 was released last month, please consult the Aptivi Newsroom article.

Aptivi Blog has been nominated to The Sunshine Blogger Award for the second time in a row during April 2026! This is a result of our blog being recognized by our audience, and we have reached more than 100,000 total blog views earlier! When April started, we’ve been nominated to this award for the first time, which sets a big milestone for our blog.

The Sunshine Blogger Award is a community award that selects bloggers as nominees who bring positivity and inspiration in their posts.

Here’s an exclusive message from the blog operator:

When April started, Victoria Kenanda nominated me and my blog for The Sunshine Blogger Award, and that was something I really appreciate. Now, I have been nominated again for The Sunshine Blogger Award on April 11th, which was totally unexpected! Thank you so much, Lynn Pernezny, for nominating my blog in the awards! It’s really grateful how my blog was recognized, especially as it crossed 100,000 total views since March 2019. You can check out her awesome blog under So Many Dishes.

Guidelines

In order to participate, you’ll need to follow the below guidelines:

1. Display the award’s official logo somewhere on your blog.
2. Thank the person who nominated you.
3. Provide a link to your nominator’s blog.
4. Answer your nominator’s questions.
5. Nominate up to eleven bloggers.
6. Ask your nominees eleven questions.
7. Notify your nominees by commenting on at least one of their blog posts.

Answers

1. Q: What was the subject of your first blog post?
   A: Great question! When March 2019 came, my first blog post was about welcoming people to my blog. Unfortunately, during the cleanup process of my blog in 2025 as part of a rebrand, I’ve removed all posts that were made before 2021 to remedy the disk space issues (I only have 1.2 GB left now) for future blog posts, and I had to move the introductory page to Aptivi’s main website here. So, the current answer is “Alleged late Beta build for Midtown Madness found (part 1)“.
2. Q: What is one food that is always in your refrigerator?
   A: Rice meals. Always.
3. Q: It’s a special occasion. How will you celebrate?
   A: It depends on what an occasion is about and on our plans. For example, on my birthdays, I’ll celebrate it with cake, sweets, and a bunch of Instagram selfies where my followers wish me happy birthday. And the place will be either inside or outside, depending on the plan.
4. Q: What is something you are proud of?
   A: Nitrocid and Terminaux.
5. Q: Who is someone who had a positive impact on your life?
   A: My best school friends. They brought fun and chaos.
6. Q: What’s a random fact about you?
   A: Vicky asked this question earlier, so I’ll answer it again. Loving technology.
7. Q: Time and money are no object. What’s your ideal trip?
   A: I’d plan a trip to several countries as a tourist. Türkiye, The Netherlands, India, and so on.
8. Q: What advice would you give to a student about to graduate from high school?
   A: Good question! My advice would be to focus on their studies, to study hard, to stay away from distractions, to manage time properly, and to be positive and hopeful that they’d succeed.
9. Q: What’s your favorite song?
   A: I have no favorite song at the moment. But, if we’re talking about EDM, Darude’s Sandstorm is my absolute favorite.
10. Q: Did you play a sport growing up? What was it?
    A: Yeah. Basketball.
11. Q: You’re invited to my house for dinner. What should I cook?
    A: Spanish paella.

Questions

1. What is your favorite sports team?
2. How do you deal with the toughest moments?
3. Do you prefer shopping in malls or in small stores?

5. What would you plan to do over the weekends?
6. What was a blog post you’re proud of the most?
7. Do you like jogging or walking outside?
8. What do you think about smart houses?
9. Do you prefer modern design or classic design?
10. What thing would you plan to purchase if time and money weren’t obstacles?

SpecProbe v3.8.1 will provide initial support for FreeBSD!

When SpecProbe was first released, we have always supported Linux, macOS, and Windows systems to help application developers more effortlessly build applications that rely on platform-specific code paths or parse hardware information.

The next version of SpecProbe will provide initial support for FreeBSD systems, which is a major milestone, given that FreeBSD wasn’t one of our supported platforms during the lifetime of our projects.

Currently, development of v3.8.1 is progressing with the addition of FreeBSD support for software and for native library loading functions. However, hardware parsing is work in progress for FreeBSD systems.

When we release this version of SpecProbe, we’ll let you know. To learn more, read this newsroom article:

Going back in time: How Terminaux was born

Terminaux is a console tools library that allows you to write colorful text to the console, manipulate with the terminal, and make your console applications more powerful. With awesome features that this library provides, you can create an interactive textual user interface (TUI) application using .NET as the framework, and is the first C# console library that supports mouse events!

As Terminaux is one of our most successful projects, here’s the timeline of how Terminaux was born.

• May 15th, 2022

  ReadLine.Reboot was announced as an extension to the original ReadLine library by Toni-Solarin Sodara.

• June 1st, 2022

  ReadLine.Reboot was released publicly to NuGet, allowing developers to try it out in their projects.

• June 7th, 2022

  ReadLine.Reboot was compared against the original ReadLine library, alongside with Latency’s fork.

• August 10th, 2022

  ColorSeq was released for the first time to bring 256 colors and true colors support to the console. In the same day, VT.NET was released as a library that helps you generate VT sequences for console applications, such as colors, text formatting, and more.

• October 22nd, 2022

  ReadLine.Reboot‘s development was declared as abandoned due to the bad structure of the base library.

• January 2nd, 2023

  TermRead was released as a replacement to the whole ReadLine suite to fix problems that those libraries suffered from.

• March 12th, 2023

  ColorPrint was released to provide console applications with a simple “color wheel” textual user interface.

• July 28th, 2023

  Terminaux was announced as a replacement and a fusion of all the above libraries that were released, but there was no release yet, but the first version was scheduled for April 10th, 2023. Then, the explanation of our migration plan was released in the same day.

• August 6th, 2023

  Terminaux’s first public version was released to NuGet!

Since then, more versions of Terminaux were released to add features, fix bugs, and perform other changes to the library in a way that performance and general improvements are being put into consideration. Our applications that work in the console, such as Nitrocid, have used Terminaux to power their interactive user interface.

Terminaux 8.2 is now available!

We have earlier announced the release schedule for long-term support versions of Terminaux, and this step was taken to ensure that new features arrive slowly to build the next-generation versions more reliably.

As part of the plan to support long-term releases of Terminaux for five years, we’ve released Terminaux 8.2, which is a small feature release that provides you several features to make it easier for you to build Terminaux applications.

• QR Code Writer: Terminaux now provides you with a simple console writer that prints a QR code for you to scan with your phone or any other QR code scanner.
• Micro QR Code Writer: Terminaux also provides a renderer that prints a Micro QR code for very small strings, though scanning them is less common.

This version of Terminaux also finishes the migration of the color tools to Colorimetry, which has become a separate library as we wanted to expand this functionality to more than just console applications. GUI apps, web apps, mobile apps, and other apps can now use Terminaux’s powerful color system using Colorimetry.

For developers, the new Aptivi Development Toolkit (ADT) is used instead of the older shell-based scripts. This aligns with our plan for rolling it out to the remaining projects in the coming days.

Terminaux 8.2 will be released later this March, and Nitrocid will be updated accordingly, before the beginning of April.
