1.20 is about to go stable, but before we do that there's some bug fixes we just had to get into your hands.

Changes

• Terminal now comes with Cascadia Code 2404.23, which has a couple hundred new glyphs! (#17137)
• Search result highlighting has been removed from 1.20. It had a few issues, and the fixes came in too late in the 1.21 for us to backport them (#17103)
• You can now use %WT_SETTINGS_DIR% in settings.json to refer to paths relative to your settings folder; this is
  great for portable mode! (#16949)
• We've moved to the latest Azure Cloud Shell API version to prevent it from breaking on you (#17115)

Bug Fixes

• You may have noticed too many things you thought you closed coming back atfer you relaunched Terminal, so we
  backported the session restoration fixes from 1.21 (#17049) (#17066) (#17068)
• Custom Pixel Shaders will no longer get ~ ~ weird ~ ~ after you've let them run for too long (#17104)
• The experimental "Reposition the cursor on mouse click" feature didn't work properly at the extremes of the
• A memory leak on window close has been fixed (#17107)
• Hidden cursors will no longer sometimes reappear unexpectedly (#17148) (thanks @j4james!)
• Maximizing a minimized window will no longer move your viewport around mysteriously (#17058) (thanks @tusharsnx!)
• We've fixed a number of UI style errors in menu item capitalization and our use of ellipses (...) (#16886) (thanks @HarshNarayanJha!)
• We rewrote clipboard handling to make it more robust and failure-proof (#17006)

Windows Terminal Preview 1.20 needed some servicing too, so I figured... why not?

Bug Fixes and Changes

• We've rolled back to an older compiler to get Terminal working on Intel Core 2 Duo machines again (!) (#16907)

• We will now display control characters literally if they were produced with the Windows Console APIs (#16825) (thanks @j4james!)
• So many of you have screenshots that contain our "set terminal as default?" banner, which we take to mean that you never noticed it. We got rid of it. Balance is restored. (#16873)
• Entering the tab switcher via the command palette no longer selects the wrong tab (#16858) (thanks @AlejandroBlanco2001!)
• All localizations are now checked into the project, so you can build any historic version with all of its original languages (#16835)

Welcome to Windows Terminal Preview 1.20! We've got a pretty small release this time, since we focused mostly on
backportable bug fixes (50% of all checkins were backported to 1.19!). We did land some excellent community
contributions this time, however, so take a peek at the notes below for more.

Why are there so many assets? How do I choose?
