Upcoming plans for the next major release of Cmder

Currently, there are some areas of Cmder that could benefit from a smoother experience for the first-time user.

TL;DR: Remove old 32-bit support. Installing to Program Files or any other path with spaces and/or lack of permissions will be correctly handled. Improvements to the speed, look and feel of the project.

📌 Please vote for your preferred Terminal to be used with Cmder in #2864
New! Cmder now comes in two flavors, Cmder + ConEmu (the classic terminal) and Cmder + Windows Terminal.
You can also choose to download a very slim version of Cmder, which doesn't come with a bundled terminal and is a great choice for using as a shell profile in any terminal you like.

Additional Notes

Note 1: We're in the process of improving Cmder's initialization speed. In the next major release, the loading time is expected to be optimized significantly.

Note 2: Cmder is in the process of dropping 32-bit support of x86 edition when the upstream projects (such as Git-for-Windows) do so. In the next major releases of Cmder, the minimum Windows requirement will be bumped from Windows 7 SP1 to Windows 10, as well.

  • Properly handle spaces in CMDER_ROOT path in all areas (shells, launcher, etc

I was not aware this was a problem. I thought we handled spaces quite well

  • Detect and deal with lack of permissions

Just default to putting the config folder in the users home folder when this happens. More secure this way anyway given the possible content of this folder. If cmder is not in the user home folder the config folder should be by default.

  • Installer - WHY, ITS PORTABLE?

  • Update mechanism - WHY, ITS PORTABLE?
