This release is centered around integrating the Qt-Advanced-Docking-System. This adds a huge amount of flexibility regarding how tabs work. Now you can drag tabs in and out of their window and between windows. Tabs can also be dragging side-by-side into separate "split" panes of groups of tabs.

Commands still need to be added to the Command Palette for tasks such as splitting a tab off into its own pane, and improved keyboard navigation between split tabs.

• Tabs can be arranged into "split panes" side-by-side.

First, an update checking extension has been added which, if you allow it, will check for new Extraterm releases every day and bring you any good news. It respects your privacy and doesn't send anything which can track you.

Extraterm now supports "Input Methods" meaning keyboard and character input support for different languages is greatly improved. Keyboard layouts with dead keys, compose keys or even on-screen character menus should work correctly now.
