[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: mintty 2.2.1


I have uploaded mintty 2.2.1 with the following changes:

Major New Search Feature (thanks to Kai (twitter:@sixhundredns)):
* Search scrollback buffer (#85); shortcuts Alt+F3 or Shift+Ctrl+H; configuration options.

Window placement and Multi-Monitor support:
  * Option -p @N to select monitor (#288).
  * Interactive feature to tweak Alt+F2 to select monitor.
  * Options -p right and -p bottom to align window position (#288).
  * Option -s accepts special values "maxwidth" or "maxheight" (#171).
  * Per-monitor DPI support (#470, thanks to Takashi Kawasaki).
  * Fixed initial terminal size if reduced border is specified (#7).
  * Trying to enforce initial focus (#57).
* New option ZoomFontWithWindow to disable Shift-coupled font-with-window zooming (#476).
  * Accepting xterm-compatible syntax in size parameter, like -s 80x24.

Keyboard input:
* Supporting layout-specified key input for all cases (#483, thanks to maxime1986).
  * Combining accented characters that are not supported by Windows (#484).
  * Application control key mode (#405).
* Tweaked/disabled shift-coupled window-with-font zooming on some keys; thus:
  * Reenabled Ctrl+_ (if _ is Shift+- on keyboard layout).
  * Avoiding inadvertent window-with-font zooming if "+" is a shifted key.

Bold attribute handling:
* Tweaked smart brightening (for BoldAsColour), considering contrast to both normal colour and background.
  * Support BoldAsColour without BoldAsFont for plain text (#468).
  * New option BoldColour (#468, #478).
* Not enforcing bold-overstriking if bold colour explicitly redefined (#468, #478). * New xterm OSC sequences (5;0;rgb/105;0) to define/reset colour for bold attribute (#468).

Other terminal features:
  * Fixed character operations beyond terminal width (#480).
  * Supporting X11 color names for colour specifications in OSC sequences.
* Supporting xterm sequences to maximize window vertically/horizontally (#394). * New private OSC sequence to copy the window title to the clipboard (#303).

Configuration:
  * Changed action buttons in Options dialog; Apply does not save changes.
* Added some Options menu configuration items (for previously introduced new options, thanks for the pattern to James Darnley #384). * New option -C to load additional configuration file without saving to it, particularly for use with colour schemes.
  * Supporting X11 color names for colour specifications in options.
  * New option -R to report window geometry on exit (~#477).
* Optional Windows taskbar integration (#471, thanks to Johannes Schindelin).
  * Not inhibiting size options in nested invocation from Alt+F2.
