ConEmu changes log

New ConEmu builds arrives often, at least weekly. It’s recommended to enable Automatic Update to get Preview or Alpha builds as soon as they are released.

Any contributions are appreciated

ConEmu-Maximus5 was brought to life and is supported by almost single developer efforts. The most valuable resource is time actually, hundreds of hours. You can show your appreciation and support further development and maintaining by contributing with bugreporting, funding, helping with documentation, coding, voting or anything else, spreading the word for example.
