Mitchell Hashimoto announced libghostty 1.0. The Ghostty terminal emulator's core has been extracted into a standalone C library, letting developers embed full terminal emulation into their own apps (editors, IDEs, GPU-rendered frontends) without reimplementing terminal state machines or escape-sequence parsing. The post covers the API design, stability commitments, and future plans.
