Thanks to everyone who has contributed to mintty in some way, in particular:

  • Simon Tatham and the PuTTY team. Mintty is based on PuTTY's terminal emulation and Windows frontend parts.
  • Mark Edgar, author of the PuTTYcyg patch for using PuTTY as a Cygwin terminal, which provided much inspiration. Mintty actually started as a hacked PuTTYcyg (although its code for hooking into Cygwin was fully replaced along the way).
  • KDE's Oxygen team, for the sleek program icon (which was designed for Konsole).
  • Markus Kuhn, for his free advice, code and tests for supporting Unicode.
  • Ahmad Khalifa, for PuTTY's BiDI (bi-directional text) implementation.
  • Michael Kaplan, Microsoft's Dr International, for the wealth of information on his blog, with many gems such as He's dead (keys), Jim.
  • Thomas Dickey, for setting the de-facto terminal standard for Unix terminals with xterm, documenting it in lots of detail, and being very responsive to questions and suggestions.
  • The authors of Cygwin's rxvt, particularly Chuck Wilson, who adapted it to use Win32 directly instead of requiring an X server. While no longer developed, rxvt remains an important reference for how a Cygwin terminal should work.
  • Corinna Vinschen, for Cygwin 1.7's locale and charset implementation, which allowed mintty to gain a crucial advantage over rxvt: Unicode support.
  • Christopher Faylor, for the Cygwin pty implementation, which mintty very much depends on, especially for its speed.
  • Simon Steele, for Programmer's Notepad, a relatively simple yet powerful open source editor for Windows that makes mintty code a joy to work on.
  • Murray Anderson, Andrew Aylett and Alexander Noack: mintty's earliest adopters, who helped to find and fix the most egregious bugs before mintty was announced to the Cygwin world.
  • Yaakov Selkowitz, for creating mintty's initial Cygwin setup.exe package and the cygport tool that is used to build it.
  • Lee D. Rothstein, for his help in writing a man page for mintty.
  • Thomas Wolff, author of the mined Unicode editor, for lots of much-needed help in improving mintty's terminal emulation and locale support and making it more xterm-compatible.
  • Chris Sutcliffe, for packaging mintty for MSYS, and always testing the latest broken svn versions.
  • Iwamuro Motonori, for valuable advice regarding support for East Asian languages.
  • The many users who have helped to improve mintty by reporting bugs and suggesting enhancements.

Cheers,
Andy
