14 DAY TRIAL // The Guake development team has recently announced the availability of a new update for one of the most appreciated drop-down terminal emulator applications on the open source market.
Guake 0.7.0 is available for download and it brings support for Canonical's recently announced Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) operating system, adds a shortcut for controlling the transparency level, and includes a demo terminal in the Preferences panel.
Additionally, this release reorganizes the palette definition, comes with numerous other new color palettes, addresses various window management bugs, repairs the "Not focused on opening if tab was moved" issue, and fixes the random "Guake Turns Gray" problem.
Moreover, Guake 0.7.0 no longer propagates the COLORTERM environment variable, forces the $TERM environment variable to "xterm-256color," adds a label that informs users on how to disable a shortcut, and repairs an issue with the quit confirmation dialog.
A new context menu item called "Open Link" has been implemented and it will be available when right-clicking on a link in the terminal, allowing you to open the respective URL in the default web browser. Last but not least, the Guake startup script, blink cursor, and cursor_shape methods are now exposed to the Preferences window.
