Computer History Museum inleder firandet av Apples 50-årsjubileum med ett exklusivt panelsamtal. Evenemanget gästas av flera tunga namn från företagets historia och leds av journalisten David Pogue. Trots att biljetterna till museet i Kalifornien är slutsålda går det att följa samtalet via museets Youtube-kanal.
Sändningen startade klockan 03.00 svensk tid natten mot fredag och kan ses i efterhand – länk finns nedan.
Kvällens moderator, David Pogue, är aktuell med boken Apple: The First 50 Years. I arbetet med boken har han intervjuat 150 nyckelpersoner – allt från medgrundaren Steve Wozniak och tidigare vd:n John Sculley till Jony Ive och nuvarande chefer.
Tunga namn på scen
I panelen deltar bland annat John Sculley, som ledde Apple under stora delar av 80- och 90-talet. Han får sällskap av Chris Espinosa, som anställdes redan 1976 och därmed är den person som arbetat längst på företaget.
Dessutom medverkar Jon Rubinstein, tidigare chef för hårdvaruutveckling, via länk samt Avie Tevanian. Tevanian lämnade Apple 2006 efter att ha haft en avgörande roll som mjukvaruchef under arbetet med operativsystemet Mac OS X.
Jubileumskvällen på Computer History Museum är startskottet för en serie evenemang som uppmärksammar Apples resa från ett garage i Los Altos till att bli världens högst värderade teknikbolag.
Just nu rullar ett crossover-event i Pokémon GO för att fira lanseringen av Pokémon Pokopia. Det innebär att du får chansen att fånga Ditto i både hatt och keps, men det kräver att du tar dig an ett gäng tidsbegränsade uppdrag och utmaningar.
Du har fram till den 16 mars klockan 20.00 på dig att slutföra den tidsbegränsade forskningen. Här är vad som krävs av dig:
Fånga 25 Pokémon: 10 Ditto Candy
Gå 1 km: Möte med Pikachu
Snurra 10 PokéStops eller Gym: 5 Great Balls
Skicka 5 gåvor: 3 000 Stardust
Fånga 50 Pokémon: Möte med Snorlax
Gå 2 km: 10 Pinap Berries
Snurra 30 PokéStops: 10 Rare Candies
Slutför 15 Field Research-uppdrag: Möte med Tangrowth
Fånga 75 Pokémon: Möte med Ditto i keps (specialbakgrund)
Gå 3 km: Möte med Ditto i hatt (specialbakgrund)
Slutför samlarutmaningarna
Utöver forskningen finns två samlarutmaningar. Du får möten med de nya Ditto-varianterna som belöning om du lyckas fånga rätt figurer före deadline. I den första listan hittar du Pikachu, Combee, Scyther och Zorua. Tänk på att Zorua maskerar sig som din aktuella Buddy på kartan, så ser du en kopia av din följeslagare är det bara att kasta.
Den andra utmaningen kräver att du hittar Marill, Goomy, Hitmonchan och Sudowoodo. Alla dessa dyker upp oftare ute i det vilda under hela perioden, så du får inga större problem att pricka av dem om du är aktiv.
Slutbelöningen för forskningen ger dig 10 000 XP och 10 klistermärken. Håll även utkik framåt då mars bjuder på både Scorbunny Community Day och Gigantamax Pikachu.
Det var nära; jag tänkte byta ut min iPad Air, med externt tangentbord, mot MacBook Neo men bytet föll på en enda punkt – inget upplyst tangentbord. MacBook Neo har ett bra tangentbord men det saknar upplysta tangenter och i mitt fall är det en ”dealbreaker”.
Jag sitter ofta i närmast totalt mörker och jobbar, inga lampor, bara tv:n och min dator som lyser upp rummet (hemmakontoret). Då är ett upplyst tangentbord ett måste och jag har försökt med små ledlampor som kan fästas i kanten på skärmen men det fungerar inte. Visst, tangentbordet lyses upp men ljuset faller ojämnt och ofta är ljuset så skarpt att det bländar eller skapar reflexer i skärmen.
Petitess
Petitesser kan tyckas men likafullt, jag vill inte ha det så. Jag vill ha ett tangentbord som tänds upp, gärna automatiskt och där tangenterna är upplysta, underifrån. Det var det första jag kollade innan jag beställde den kopia av Apples Magic Keyboard som kompletterar min iPad Air. Det gäller också det lilla externa tangentbord som jag ibland byter till (Satechi), även det har upplysta tangenter.
Mitt Logitech-tangentbord som används när jag ansluter min MacBook Pro till mina externa skärmar har också ett tangentbord med det Apple kallar ”bakbelysning”.
Bakbelysning
När jag började fundera på att byta ut min iPad så utgick jag först ifrån att MacBook Neo hade bakbelysning. Det har i storts ett alla tangentbord numera men ska du komma ned i pris så måste du kompromissa, stryka funktioner och Apple har plockat bort många funktioner för att kunna producera en bärbar dator som trots sitt pris håller hög kvalitet. Dessutom kan det handla om ett beslut av designavdelningen. MacBook Neo har tangentbord i samma färg som datorn i övrigt. Möjligen har det lett till att bakbelysningen slopats.
Därför blir det ingen MacBook Neo, just nu, men det är inte uteslutet att nästa generation, nästa modell kommer att ha bakbelysning. Det skulle i så fall bekräfta den gamla sanningen ”köp inte den första versionen”.
Apple Arcade fortsätter att växa och tjänsten innehåller nu över 200 spel utan annonser eller köp inuti appar. Den 2 april får du tillgång till tre nya titlar som spänner över allt från mörka fiskeäventyr till avkopplande pussel och barnboksklassiker.
Du får bland annat upptäcka de dimmiga vattnen i DREDGE+, som utsågs till årets iPad-spel 2025. Denna version innehåller allt släppt extramaterial, som The Pale Reach och The Iron Rig, vilket ger dig den kompletta upplevelsen av det hyllade äventyret där du muddrar efter skatter och undviker vad som döljer sig under ytan.
Avkoppling och interaktiva berättelser
Samma dag släpps även Unpacking+, ett pusselspel som belönades för sin kulturella påverkan vid App Store Awards 2023. Du får packa upp flyttkartonger och inreda nya hem, samtidigt som du genom föremålen får lära känna personen vars liv du bit för bit plockar fram.
För de yngre spelarna kommer My Very Hungry Caterpillar+. Spelet baseras på Eric Carles klassiska barnbok och låter dig ta hand om din egen larv. Du får mata den och utforska dess värld tills den till slut förvandlas till en fjäril.
Uppdateringar och Star Wars-innehåll
Utöver nya spel kommer även exklusiva uppdateringar till befintliga titlar. Redan den 19 mars expanderar Disney SpellStruck med innehåll från Star Wars: Rymdimperiet slår tillbaka. Du får nya kartor och kan spela som karaktärer som Darth Vader och Lando Calrissian.
Den 9 april firar Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop seriens 35-årsjubileum med det nya läget Puyo Puyo Garden. Det är första gången i spelseriens historia som du får odla och träna dina egna Puyo för att sedan använda dem i strid.
Scrollback search is now available to search through terminal scrollback. This is triggered with cmd+f on macOS and ctrl+shift+f on GTK and comes with a number of new bindable actions. #189
Native scrollbars are now available to navigate scrollback. These can be controlled with the new scrollbar configuration. #111
Inherit working directory configuration can now be specified differently for windows vs. tabs vs. splits. #1392
Keybinds now support chaining multiple actions in sequence using the chain key, allowing a single keybind to trigger multiple actions (e.g., toggling fullscreen and window decorations together). #9961
Keybinds now support key tables: named sets of keybindings that can be activated and deactivated, enabling modal keybinding workflows. Tables support one-shot mode, catch-all fallthrough, stacking, and compose with key sequences and chained actions. #9963
New catch_all special key for keybindings that matches any key not explicitly bound. Supports modifiers (ctrl+catch_all=…) and trigger sequences (ctrl+a>catch_all=…). #9977
Data copied to clipboard now supports rich text and can be configured with copy_to_clipboard binding action parameters. #9396
Window and tab titles can now be set separately from split titles using the menu, command palette, or new keybind actions. #9879
Session search in the command palette lets you jump to any running terminal by searching its title or working directory, with tab color indicators (macOS). #9945
Support Kitty’s click_events extension which lets clicking the prompt in supported shells move the cursor, such as Fish v4+ and Nushell 0.111+. #10536
Support OSC133 cl=line so bash and zsh get clickable prompts with the above. #10542
The Ghostty configuration can now have the .ghostty extension. #8689
Ghostty can now show notifications when a command finishes using the notify-on-command-finish configuration. This can be set to trigger under various conditions such as slow commands, unfocused windows, etc. #8991
A surface can now be marked ”readonly” and it will no longer send any input events to the pty and will always warn before closing. This can be triggered by a new keyboard binding, command palette, etc. #8432
A new configuration key-remap can be used to remap keys from one to another within the scope of Ghostty. Example: key-remap = ctrl=super. #5160
A new configuration clipboard-codepoint-map takes a mapping to replace some codepoints when copying to the clipboard (writing the clipboard, specifically). This would allow copying things like symbols for computing, branch drawing, etc. #8383
A new configuration selection-word-chars can be used to configure the characters that determine word boundaries for double-click selection. #9335
A new configuration mouse-reporting = false can be used to disable all TUI mouse reporting features. #8430
A new configuration value scroll-to-bottom = output that automatically scrolls the window to the bottom on any output (default off). #9938
A new configuration option split-preserve-zoom that starts with a single option navigation (default false). When navigation is set, zoomed splits will remain zoomed when split navigation (goto_split) is done. #8458 #9089
A new binding action goto_window:next and goto_window:previous to deterministically navigate through windows. #8387
A new binding action toggle_mouse_reporting toggles mouse reporting to the TUI. #9282
A new end_key_sequence binding action to explicitly end an active key sequence, flushing prior keys to the terminal without encoding the triggering key (e.g. ctrl+w>escape=end_key_sequence). #10098
The close_tab binding action takes a new parameter right which closes all tabs to the right. #9783
resize_split and toggle_split_zoom actions now return false when there is only a single pane, allowing performable: keybinds to pass the key through to the terminal application. #10376
The quick terminal now sets the GHOSTTY_QUICK_TERMINAL environment variable which can be used in any way, such as for custom shell prompts. #9673
The cursor shell integration feature now respects cursor-style-blink, using a steady bar when blinking is disabled instead of always using a blinking bar. #10643
Right clicking a URL will now highlight the full URL. #9298
Upgrade to Unicode 17. #8757
The +list-themes command now has a keybind to write a configuration file. #8930
Commands started with -e now set the terminal title to argv[0]. #9121
Custom shaders have many new uniforms such as cursor shape, position, previous position, time since change, color scheme, etc. to support more advanced shaders. #9416 #9417
OSC7 URI parsing now handles more edge cases such as MAC addresses better. #9193
Unsafe control characters in pasted text are now replaced with spaces to prevent malicious pastes from tricking users into executing unexpected commands, matching xterm’s behavior. #10746
IME preedit text is now rendered with underlines instead of inverted colors for better readability and consistency across programs. #10368
Improved font rendering on some low-DPI monitors. #9432
For font metrics, round cell height from line height instead of ceiling. This change should give more consistent results between high and low DPI displays. #9648
Decouple balanced top and left window paddings to avoid diagonal resize window jitter. #9518
Update many default keybindings to work with other keyboard layouts. This should not affect standard US layouts. #9469
Ignore Unicode byte-order-mark (BOM) characters in the configuration file. #9490
VS15/16 check now considers emoji bases properly. #9679
Grapheme break algorithm updated to match Unicode spec exactly. #9680
Fix rendering of wide grapheme clusters in scripts like Devanagari where multiple non-zero-width code points combine into a single cluster that should occupy two cells. #10465
Fix possible crash due to data race condition looking up hyperlinks. #9813
Fix possible crash due to data race with selection and copy. #9818
Fix a crash caused by a race condition between drawing Kitty image placements and the placement list being updated, triggered when rapidly cycling through images in applications like Yazi. #10680
Fix a major memory leak when pruning scrollback with non-standard sized pages. Non-standard pages (caused by emoji-heavy, hyperlink-heavy, or Claude Code output) were incorrectly returned to the memory pool instead of being unmapped. #10251
Fix rendering artifacts that could be caused in certain edge cases with insert lines or delete lines (IL/DL) VT operations. #10290
Terminal Capabilities:
vt: More complete and accurate parsing and implementation of OSC 133. #10427
vt: ConEmu OSC9 is now fully parsed (subcommand 1 to 12). Ghostty GUI only implements a subset of this but libghostty can parse it all. #3125
vt: Report color scheme events are now reported synchronously. #5922
vt: Modify other keys state 2 no longer encodes option as alt on macOS. #9406
vt: shift+backspace encodes properly for Kitty Keyboard Protocol. #9896
