[Thomas Wolff]

I have uploaded mintty 2.8.4 with the following changes:

Character handling and rendering
   * Emoji support (mintty/wsltty#82, #600, ~#671, ~#430).
   * Fixed double-width handling within right-to-left text.

Window handling
   * Ctrl+Alt+mouse-click/drag moves the window (#729).
   * Apply Virtual Tab position catching also on Alt+F2 (#699).
   * Workaround for Windows failing to consider the taskbar properly 
when maximizing with no or frame-only border (#732).
   * Workaround for caption-less window exceeding borders (#733) on 
Windows 10.

Mouse handling
   * More selective suppression of mouse action on focus-click 
(mintty/wsltty#88, #717).
   * Fixed mouse function in search bar (#85), broken since 2.8.2 (#717).

Desktop integration
   * Support for taskbar "Tasks" list ("jump list") (#290).
   * Session launcher icons (#699).

Configuration
   * Options Emojis, EmojiPlacement to configure emojis style and display
   * Option TaskCommands to configure a taskbar icon task list ("jump 
list").
   * Limit tweaking of empty shortcut start dir to Start menu case (#737).

The homepage is at http://mintty.github.io/
It also links to the issue tracker.

He should be severely castigated for his prescient behaviour of adding new
features and fixing problems before we can report them. Should we pin an old
guy's Gold Watch on him, give him five Golden Rings^WStars so long after Xmas,
or do his mintty actions deserve the most extreme treatment, [Oh, no! *NOT*...]
the (Pink) Plush Hippo?

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

AVG ANTIVIRUS on Win 7 thinks mintty is a virus after update. Shame on them.
