 # Changelog
 
+## 1.4.2 - 2026-08-25
+
+Stable patch release of the **Pane Search** generation and **Click to position
+cursor**. The application payload is unchanged from the fully validated 1.4.1
+candidate. This patch corrects the release-note signing heading required by the
+guarded asset verifier after the published `v1.4.1` tag could no longer be
+moved or replaced. It publishes as GitHub Latest with application version
+`1.4.2`, package/file version `1.4.2.0`, PowerShell module version
+`1.4.2`, and tag `v1.4.2`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The packaged release notes now use the canonical `## Signing` section
+  required by the exact-asset verifier while retaining the explicit unsigned
+  installer and SmartScreen disclosure.

+# winTerm 1.4.2
+
+**winTerm 1.4.2 is a stable production release.** GitHub Latest points to
+`v1.4.2`; there is no alpha, beta, preview, or prerelease suffix in the
+application, package, PowerShell module, or Release metadata.
+
+This release contains everything changed since stable v1.3.0: the complete
+Pane Search feature line, Click to position cursor, cursor-coordinate and
+interaction hardening, and the associated tests and documentation.
+
+## New: Pane Search
+
+Press `Ctrl+F` to search the **focused pane only**. `Ctrl+Shift+F` remains a
+remappable compatibility alias. The implementation reuses the terminal's
+existing search pipeline rather than maintaining a second index or buffer.
+
+- Search follows typing across the pane's entire active scrollback and
+  highlights all matches at once.
+- `Enter` and `Shift+Enter` move forward and backward with wrap-around.
+- Case-sensitive and regular-expression modes are available from the compact
+  search overlay, alongside the `current / total` match counter.
+- The scrollbar shows one marker per matching buffer row and emphasizes the
+  current match's row. This overview is pane-local and does not require generic
+  shell marks to be enabled.
+- Typing is coalesced, live results converge during sustained streaming output,
+  and unchanged scrollbar state is not needlessly repainted.
+- Resize/reflow, scrollback eviction, active-buffer changes, invalid regular
+  expressions, CJK, and emoji search spans have deterministic regression
+  coverage.
+
+## New: Click to position cursor
+
+A plain single left click inside the current editable command moves the shell
+cursor to that location. winTerm calculates the cell distance and sends LEFT
+or RIGHT input events, keeping PowerShell, Readline, and cooked-input state
+authoritative. It never moves only the renderer cursor, edits the command
+buffer directly, inserts or deletes text, or executes the command.
+
+The feature is enabled by default for winTerm profiles. It can be disabled in
+**Profile > Advanced > Click to position cursor**, and an explicit existing
+`"experimental.repositionCursorWithMouse": false` setting remains respected.
+The internal JSON property name is retained for configuration compatibility;
+the user-facing feature is not described as experimental.
+
+Shell integration supplies the safety boundary. Positioning is allowed only
+when the last shell mark identifies a current, unfinished editable command.
+Clicks on previous commands, previous output, unrelated scrollback, completed
+or executing commands, and any position that cannot be validated are safe
+no-ops.
+
+## Mouse behavior and compatibility
+
+Cursor positioning occurs on left-button release only when the existing drag
+threshold was not crossed. Starting a drag never moves the command cursor
+first. Existing interaction precedence remains:
+
+1. Ctrl+Click hyperlink activation.
+2. VT mouse reporting to the child terminal application.
+3. Double-click word and triple-click line selection.
+4. Shift+Click and drag selection.
+5. Plain single click positioning.
+
+Mouse-aware applications such as Vim, Less, top, htop, k9s, and tmux retain
+mouse ownership when VT mouse reporting is active. Each split pane owns its
+own terminal connection, marks, selection state, and cursor-position input.
+
+## Stability fixes
+
+- Integrated the safety intent of Microsoft Terminal PR #20442, merged as
+  `de3fc87d186e5da1d5ccd8731412905f5e2aba30`. Mouse coordinates are translated
+  at widened precision, vertical padding and out-of-viewport rows are rejected,
+  horizontal padding is clamped to rendered buffer cells, and every point is
+  checked against the TextBuffer's inclusive coordinate contract before use.
+- Negative, overflow, beyond-width, beyond-height, padding, empty-command,
+  historical-output, wrapped-command, resize-era, and pane-isolation cases
+  fail safely and have automated regression coverage.
+- Full-width glyph trailing cells do not produce duplicate LEFT/RIGHT events.
+- Pane Search reflow no longer creates a stray selection, active-buffer changes
+  discard stale highlights, and closing search releases retained search-span
+  storage.
+
+## Downloads
+
+- `winTerm-1.4.2-setup-x64.exe` — current-user or all-users installation.
+- `winTerm-1.4.2-portable-x64.zip` — extract and run without installation;
+  `portable.marker` keeps data beside the executable.
+- `SHA256SUMS.txt` — checksums for the application downloads and published
+  release artifacts.
+- `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md` — dependency and attribution notices.
+- `SBOM.spdx.json` and `SBOM.cyclonedx.json` — software bills of materials.
+- `release-metadata.json` — immutable build and source provenance.
+- `winTerm-1.4.2-release-notes.md` — the packaged copy of these notes.
+
+Upgrading keeps settings, themes, workspaces, and snapshots under
+`%LOCALAPPDATA%\winTerm`, or under the adjacent `data` directory in portable
+mode.
+
+## Signing
+
+The installer is **not Authenticode-signed**. Windows may display Unknown
+Publisher or a Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warning. Download only from the
+official GitHub Release and verify `SHA256SUMS.txt` from that same Release
+before running the installer.
+
+Requires Windows 11 x64. winTerm is an independent open-source project based
+on Microsoft Terminal source code; it is not a Microsoft product and is not
+affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft.
