xTerminal 3.1.1.0 adds C/C++ IntelliSense, expands TermXT editor diagnostics, and improves command editing, file reloading, and script error reporting.

Highlights

• C/C++ IntelliSense in xte. Automatic suggestions now include language keywords, preprocessor directives, standard-library identifiers, and names from the current file. With clangd, completion also resolves members after ., ->, and ::, header paths, and project symbols using unsaved code. Press Ctrl+Space to request suggestions manually.
• Live TermXT errors and warnings in xte. Unsaved scripts are checked for block structure, conditions, function calls, and constant arguments or expressions. Warnings flag undeclared variables, assignments to computed built-ins, ignored trailing arguments, ineffective waits, and likely keyword typos. Gutter markers, header counts, and the F2 diagnostic list update as issues are fixed; select an entry and press Enter to jump to its location.
• Expanded TermXT completion in xte. Suggestions include xTerminal commands at the start of a statement, after run, in capture assignments, and after pipes. Condition suggestions now also include true, false, &&, and ||. Function names containing spaces are quoted when accepted.

Fixes and improvements

• TermXT runtime errors now include the original source line as [line N], including errors inside functions, nested blocks, and conditions. The {error_message} variable preserves this location for error handling.
• The xte command prompt supports editing and pasting at the cursor, Left/Right and Home/End navigation, Ctrl+Left/Right word movement, Delete, and Backspace. Long commands scroll horizontally, and Unicode characters remain intact during navigation and deletion.
• Reloading with :reload, :reload!, or :e! preserves the cursor and scroll position, including after mouse-wheel scrolling. Positions are adjusted when the reloaded file becomes shorter.
• Improved language detection prevents C/C++ code and TermXT scripts from incorrectly activating C# completion.
• Fixed cd storing a directory path without its trailing separator.
• Fixed the quoted open-port check in the netaudit.xt example and changed its ping invocation to ping {host} -t 1.

Upgrade notes

The ctx command now requires a leading dash on its subcommands. Update scripts and aliases that use the previous forms:

Basic C/C++ suggestions work without clangd. For member, header, and project completion, xte discovers clangd on PATH and in LLVM or Visual Studio installations. Set XTE_CLANGD to select a specific server executable. Project compiler options come from compile_commands.json or compile_flags.txt.

TermXT editor diagnostics include checks beyond xt -check. Save the script before checking or running it from the terminal; those commands read the file on disk.

Documentation

• Updated the TermXT scripting language user manual to edition 1.0.3, covering runtime error locations, diagnostic codes, editor navigation, and troubleshooting.
• Added the TermXT manual v1.0.3 PDF and refreshed the README and command help.

xTerminal v3.1.0.0 - Release notes

xTerminal 3.1.0.0 adds command parameter completion, C# project and solution support in the built-in editor, and more reliable file and directory completion after command options.

Command completion

• Type a command and part of a supported parameter, then press Tab to complete it. For example, hash -sha2 completes to hash -sha256, and wget --n completes to wget --noping.
• Press Tab repeatedly to cycle through matching parameters and wrap back to the first match. For example, ls -c cycles through -c, -cf, -cd, and -ct.
• Parameter completion replaces only the final argument, preserving earlier arguments, spacing, and the prompt. Editing the input starts a fresh set of matches.
• Expanded ls file-path completion to suggest both files and directories.

C# projects and solutions in xte

• Open .csproj, .sln, and .slnx files directly with xte. The editor opens a source file, preferring Program.cs, and starts its file explorer in the project or solution directory.
• Opening a .cs file automatically discovers its owning project, including linked source files found through a nearby solution.
• C# completion and diagnostics now use other source files in the project, project references, implicit/global usings, compile exclusions, and restored NuGet compile assemblies. Analysis includes unsaved changes in the active file.
• Use :e <path> to switch to another file, project, or solution. Use :project or :project reload to show the owning project and refresh its sources and references. New completion requests also pick up external source changes after a short cache interval.
• Use xte -raw <file> or :e -raw <path> to edit a project or solution file directly as plain text. :project edit opens the explicitly selected solution or the owning project for editing; save with :w.
• Added plain-text syntax mode through -syntax text and :syntax text, with language diagnostics and completion disabled.

Examples:

xte MySolution.sln
xte MySolution.slnx
xte src/MyApp/MyApp.csproj
xte -raw src/MyApp/MyApp.csproj

Fixes and improvements

• Fixed repeated Tab presses losing the original parameter matches or changing earlier input.
• Unrecognized parameters beginning with - leave the input unchanged instead of triggering file completion.
• Fixed file and directory completion after parameters, such as xte -raw someFi, cat -o output.txt someFi, and ls -d someDir. Press Tab twice to begin path completion.
• Path completion preserves earlier arguments and spacing, handles quoted paths with spaces, and supports nested and absolute paths. It also works through aliases for supported commands.
• Added file and directory suggestions for xte, including after -raw.
• Updated command help and parameter suggestions for the revised chain, env, and note syntax.

Upgrade notes

The chain, env, and note commands now require a leading dash on their subcommands. Update saved scripts and aliases that use the old forms:

The env -t <scope> option is unchanged; for example, use env -t user -get PATH.

C# project support

Project discovery supports ordinary SDK-style and legacy project items using Debug/AnyCPU and the first target framework. It does not execute custom MSBuild imports, targets, or source generators.

Run dotnet restore for project packages, then use :project in the editor to refresh references. Opening a project does not build it or restore packages automatically. The editor's :nuget commands manage source-file package directives rather than .csproj PackageReference entries. The xte -new option creates source files; open existing projects and solutions without it.

What's Changed

• V3.1.0.0 xte cproj by @0x78654C in #102

Full Changelog: v3.0.9.1...v3.1.0.0

xTerminal v3.0.9.1

xTerminal 3.0.9.1 improves Rust error reporting in the built-in xte editor, adds navigation from the F2 diagnostics list, and fixes caret movement when editing search terms.

Changes since v3.0.9.0.

Highlights

• Rust errors and warnings now appear in editor line markers, header counts, the F2 list, and :errors, :warnings, :next-error, and :next-warning commands.
• Rust analysis checks unsaved code after a short typing pause, including undeclared values such as E0425. Cargo projects also run cargo check on save.
• The F2 diagnostics list now supports selecting an error or warning and jumping directly to its line and column. Use Up/Down to select, Enter to jump, PgUp/PgDn or the mouse wheel to scroll, Home/End to reach the first or last entry, and F2/Esc to close.

Fixes and improvements

• Improved Rust diagnostic updates: outdated results are ignored, resolved errors are cleared, and compiler reports are combined with live analysis without duplicate entries.
• Rust diagnostics run in the background without blocking editor rendering or completion requests. Temporary server cancellations are retried, and unavailable analysis displays a status message.
• Improved selection and scrolling in the F2 list, including wrapped messages, window resizing, and background diagnostic refreshes.
• Fixed caret movement in document search and file explorer search. Left/Right, Ctrl+Left/Right, and Home/End move within the query; typing, Backspace, and Delete edit at the caret.
• Long search terms scroll horizontally to keep the caret visible. Navigation and deletion preserve Unicode surrogate pairs.
• Pasting into document search inserts text at the caret. Document shortcuts no longer move or modify the source while the search prompt is active.
• Fixed info display in file command for some extensions.

Rust setup

Rust analysis requires rust-analyzer and Rust sources. With Rust installed, run:

rustup component add rust-analyzer rust-src

What's Changed

• V3.0.9.1 fix err by @0x78654C in #101

Full Changelog: v3.0.9.0...v3.0.9.1

This release adds Rust IntelliSense to the built-in xte editor, process tree navigation in wtop, and a redesigned installer. It also improves editor scrolling, file explorer navigation, and command completion.

Rust IntelliSense in xte

• Added automatic suggestions in Rust files (.rs or -syntax rust) after two characters, ::, or .. Press Ctrl+Space to open suggestions manually.
• Added built-in completion for Rust keywords, macros, names declared in the current file, local fields and methods, and common standard-library paths and members. These suggestions work without a Rust toolchain.
• Added rust-analyzer integration for Cargo projects and saved standalone Rust files. Member completion resolves variables, fields, function results, indexed values, and method chains.
• Added Cargo completion for dependency paths, imported and re-exported types, aliases, fields, and trait methods, including changes in the unsaved buffer.
• Project analysis loads in the background while built-in suggestions remain available. The status bar reports loading or setup failures when member completion has no immediate suggestions.
• Improved Rust function declaration highlighting and made syntax colors more consistent across supported languages.

TermXT Editor responsiveness

• Reduced redraw work during navigation and scrolling by reusing unchanged rows and cached syntax highlighting.
• Reduced repeated processing of multiline comments and strings when scrolling through larger files.
• Updated rendering to repaint affected rows after edits, selection changes, diagnostics, resizing, and closing completion or message overlays.

Process monitoring with wtop

• Added wtop -tree to display parent and child processes. Press T or F5 to switch between the flat list and tree views.
• Added branch navigation with Left/Right and folding with Space. Sorting keeps children grouped under their parents, and searching expands branches containing matches.
• Added search by exact PID, F3 to move to the next match, and R to refresh immediately. Added PageUp/PageDown and Home/End navigation, plus Esc and Ctrl+C to quit.
• Improved responsiveness with background process sampling, cached sorting, and bounded owner lookups. Refreshing and sorting preserve the selected process where possible.
• Improved CPU usage calculations and process termination checks. K acts on the selected process and checks its identity to avoid terminating a different process that reused its PID.
• Added system and service account names in normal-user sessions. A name ending in * indicates a service's configured logon account when the process owner cannot be read; unavailable owners appear as —.

File explorer improvements

• Added an optional starting folder to fxp [folder], including relative paths and quoted paths containing spaces. Use fxp --help to view the controls.
• Improved mouse-wheel scrolling and keyboard navigation, including Ctrl+Up/Down for paging and Home/End for the first or last entry.
• Reduced redraws and deferred preview loading while moving through entries. Directory listings now sort folders first, followed by files, with names sorted without regard to case.
• Fixed PageUp navigation so it moves directly to the parent folder, including after reopening the explorer. Ctrl+PageUp scrolls up one page.
• Fixed path handling and trailing separators when opening folders and saving the current directory.
• Prevented file preview contents from injecting terminal escape sequences, such as cursor movement.

Shell, networking, and installer

• Added ifconfig -i for a compact summary of network interface descriptions, types, IP ranges, and status.
• Double-Tab file and folder completion now also works immediately after a supported command name, without requiring a space first.
• Fixed duplicate path separators when using cd to switch to a drive root, such as C: or C:\.
• Redesigned the installer with a dark interface, clearer version and platform details, an installation destination panel, and updated progress feedback.

Rust setup and ENV

For project-aware completion, install Rust and add the analysis components:

rustup component add rust-analyzer rust-src

xte discovers tools on PATH, in rustup installations, and in the VS Code Rust Analyzer extension. Set XTE_RUST_ANALYZER to select a specific server executable. Declare project dependencies in Cargo.toml, and save a new standalone .rs file once to enable analysis.

1. Install the components

Run in PowerShell:

rustup component add rust-analyzer rust-src
rustup which rust-analyzer

The second command prints the executable’s full path. Your current Rust toolchain reports that the analyzer is missing. See the [official installation guide](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/book/rust_analyzer_binary.html#rustup).

2. Set it inside xTerminal

Replace the example path with the path printed above:

env set XTE_RUST_ANALYZER "C:\path\to\rust-analyzer.exe"

To also save it for future sessions:

env -t user set XTE_RUST_ANALYZER "C:\path\to\rust-analyzer.exe"

3. Use completion

xte main.rs

Press i to enter Insert mode, then Ctrl+Space for suggestions. Completion also opens automatically while typing.

For a new standalone .rs file, save it once with Esc, then :w, then Enter to enable analysis. Cargo project dependencies are read from Cargo.toml.

What's Changed

• Rust autocomplete by @0x78654C in #100

Full Changelog: v3.0.8.0...v3.0.9.0

xTerminal v3.0.8.0

xTerminal 3.0.8.0 adds IntelliSense for TermXT scripts in the built-in xte editor, improves C# editing responsiveness, and updates the TermXT scripting language to 1.0.2.

Highlights

• Added release notes to new-version notifications, displayed before the update confirmation prompt.
• Added automatic TermXT IntelliSense in xte for keywords, built-in functions, declared functions after call, and variables inside {...} or after lines:.
• Added usage hints, case-insensitive filtering, and automatic closing braces for variable completions. Variable suggestions also work inside quoted text.
• Added completion keyboard controls for TermXT and C#:
  • Ctrl+Space opens suggestions manually in insert mode.
  • Up/Down selects a suggestion.
  • Enter/Tab accepts the selected completion.
  • Esc closes suggestions; pressing it again returns to normal mode.
• Updated TermXT to version 1.0.2, adding {argc}, parenthesized conditions, and compact expressions such as {count}>=2&&{count}<5.
• Added the TermXT 1.0.2 Markdown and PDF manuals and a new language_features.xt example.

Fixes and improvements

• Moved C# semantic diagnostics into background processing and cached runtime assembly metadata to reduce pauses in xte. Outdated analysis results are discarded when the document changes.
• Fixed TermXT logical operator precedence, quoted condition text, and repeated condition interpolation. Operators inside substituted values remain literal.
• Improved argument parsing for quoted and empty arguments, tab separators, and literal -p text inside quotes.
• Fixed TermXT function argument leakage and stale return values. Function calls preserve whitespace and quotes in variable arguments and restore the caller's positional arguments and {argc}.
• Fixed TermXT nested loop counters and integer-range overflow. Excessive function or condition nesting now reports an error.
• Improved try/catch handling in TermXT, failure propagation, and cleanup after exceptions. Failed pipeline stages stop later stages.
• Fixed quoted file paths, empty file output, and substring bounds handling in TermXT.
• Shared structural validation between the interpreter and editor. xt -check now reports failure through the command error state, including when a script is missing.
• Updated example scripts to use {argc} for optional arguments and adjusted port-status matching in netaudit.xt.

Upgrade notes

Use {argc} to check for optional script arguments; missing arguments remain literal placeholders. Write empty comparison operands as "".

Conditions apply comparisons/not, then &&, then ||. Use parentheses when negating a compound condition. Each interpolated variable in a function call now remains one argument, even when its value contains spaces.

Scripts with invalid block structure, assignments, or duplicate function definitions are rejected before execution. Run xt -check <script.xt> to check existing scripts.

• Added the xup command:
  • xup -e enables update checks when an interactive session starts.
  • xup -d disables startup update checks.
  • xup -s shows whether startup update checks are enabled.
  • xup -c checks for a new release immediately.
• Added current-versus-latest version reporting and an interactive confirmation prompt before an update begins.

• Added SHA-256 verification of downloaded release assets before extraction and installation.
• Added validation for downloads and extracted packages, including a check for the expected xTerminal.exe before installation.
• The updater preserves its running executable during installation, can stage a newer updater for replacement, and restarts xTerminal from the correct working directory.

Fixes and improvements

• Consolidated HTTP/HTTPS URL and safe destination-filename validation so it is shared by wget and the updater.
• mkfile now reports a clear error when no filename is supplied.
• Refined the pcinfo xTerminal logo alignment.
• Updated Roslyn, .NET runtime-support, test SDK, FluentAssertions, and Visual Studio test runner dependencies.

Upgrade notes

Automatic update checks are enabled by default. Run xup -c whenever you want to check manually.

Highlights

NuGet packages in C# workflows

• Added NuGet package directives for C# files used by ccs, add-ons, and the TermXT editor:

  // nuget: Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.3

• Added TermXT editor commands for package management:

  • :nuget <package> adds the latest stable version.
  • :nuget list packages lists packages used by the current buffer.
  • :nuget add <package> [version] adds a package with an optional version.
  • :nuget remove <package> removes a package.
  • :nuget restore restores the declared packages.

• Package references and compatible dependencies are resolved for compilation, diagnostics, IntelliSense, and execution.

TermXT editor improvements

• Added Ctrl+D in normal and insert modes to duplicate the current line while preserving the cursor position and undo history.
• Improved function-name syntax highlighting and added regression coverage for declarations, invocations, member calls, and language keywords.
• Updated editor help and the README with the new shortcut and NuGet commands.

C# runner pipe support

• ccs can now receive a C# file path from the preceding stage of a pipe.
• Standard output from a compiled C# program can now be passed to the next pipe stage.

Security hardening

Password vault encryption pwm

• Replaced deterministic password-derived encryption with AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption.
• Master keys are derived with Argon2id and a random per-vault salt.
• Vault payloads now store a version, salt, nonce, KDF parameters, ciphertext, and authentication tag.
• Modified ciphertext and incorrect passwords fail authentication instead of returning unauthenticated data.
• Existing vaults remain readable and migrate to the new format after successful access.
• Cryptographic key material is cleared from memory where possible.

Safe archive staging and cleanup zip

• Archive creation uses a unique system-generated temporary directory instead of the predictable tmpZip folder.
• Temporary data is removed only when it was created by the active archive operation.
• Recursive deletion no longer follows junctions, symbolic links, or other directory reparse points.
• Reparse-point source directories are rejected when creating multi-input archives.

Secure destinations wget

• Download filenames are derived from the normalized URI path instead of raw URL text.
• Directory separators, invalid filenames, trailing dots or spaces, and reserved Windows device names are rejected.
• The canonical destination path is verified to remain inside the requested directory.
• Existing files are no longer silently overwritten.
• Only absolute HTTP and HTTPS URLs are accepted.

Spreadsheet resource limits xcel

• Added limits for file size, worksheet count, rows, columns, and materialized cells.
• XLSX files now have per-entry and total expanded-size limits.
• Excessive ZIP compression ratios are rejected before XML parsing.
• DTD processing is disabled for XLSX XML content.
• Invalid or oversized XLSX and SpreadsheetML row and column references are rejected before allocation.

Command-history credential protection ch

• Passwords, access tokens, API keys, authorization headers, credentials embedded in URLs, and sensitive waifu arguments are redacted before entering interactive or on-disk history.
• Existing entries are sanitized when command history is loaded.
• Redacted values are replaced with [SECRET].

Installer trust hardening

• Installer payloads and resources are resolved relative to AppContext.BaseDirectory; the process working directory is no longer trusted.
• Payload and destination reparse points are rejected.
• A SHA-256 payload manifest is required and verified before installation.
• The installer explicitly uses the asInvoker execution level for its per-user installation.
• Added xInstaller/generate-payload-manifest.ps1 for package creation.

Upgrade and packaging notes

• Vaults written in the new format may not be readable by older xTerminal versions. Back up existing vaults before downgrading.

• wget now reports an error when the target file exists; remove or rename the file before downloading again.

• Spreadsheets exceeding the new safety limits are rejected instead of being partially loaded.

• Installer packages must contain data/payload.sha256. Generate it after assembling the complete data directory:

  .\xInstaller\generate-payload-manifest.ps1 -PackageDirectory <installer-package-directory>

What's Changed

• New hot key by @0x78654C in #93

Full Changelog: v3.0.3.0...v3.0.4.0

Improves
