I have uploaded mintty 2.8.5 with the following changes:
Character handling and rendering
 * CJK brackets are expanded if needed to ensure their symmetry (#756).
 * Support of emoji style text attribute SGR 51/52 (mintty/wsltty#82,
#600).
 * Fixed emoji display variation selector handling.
 * Character Info displays emoji sequence short names
(mintty/wsltty#82, #600).
 * Reverted Sixel colour registers patch that could fail Sixel display
or even stall mintty window (#740, mintty/wsltty#90).
Input
 * Reenabled Ctrl+key escape sequences (#743).
 * Input optionally keeps selection highlighting
(ClearSelectionOnInput=false) (#222).
Mouse handling
 * Reenabled drag-and-drop text selection on focussing at a threshhold
(~#717).
Configuration
 * Alt+F2 and mintty --dir=... stay in selected dir even in login mode
(#500, #744).
 * Fixed option --dir=...
 * Context menu configuration (MenuMenu etc): new flags 'x' and 'u'
(#755).
 * More layout-tolerant colour value syntax (#758).
 * Invocation as wsl*[-distro].exe implies a --WSL[=distro] parameter
(mintty/wsltty#63).
 * Added missing option `mintheme --list`.
 * New mintheme options --file (#762) and --query.
 * New option ClearSelectionOnInput=false disables selection highlight
clearing on input (#222).
Window handling
 * Clear selection when clipboard content updated (#742).
 * Skip refresh after colour setting if nothing changed (e.g. by prompt).
Desktop integration
 * WSL mount point configuration (/etc/wsl.conf or fstab) is
considered in path conversion for open/paste (mintty/wsltty#91).
 * Workaround for ConEmu WM_MOUSEACTIVATE bug (#724).
Documentation
 * Terminal multiplexer configuration: added tmux (#757).
 * Search bar: activated also from context menu (#753).
