I love Kitty. I've used it since discovering it in about 2019 and it strikes the right balance of things.
It's easy to customise, super fast, light on resources, available in my distro's package manager and while the author might be a bit prickly at times, he does a fantastic job leading the project and keeping things focused.
I'll give the new shaders a try but the animated cursor is probably busy enough for me already.

Oh wow, I did not expect not only that many interesting changes, but also that many which seem actually specifically useful to me - very cool to read!
I love kitty, have used it for a long while now and pretty happy, except for that one thing about ssh xterm - but even that is mostly minor.
Really cool to see such active development of an already perfectly capable and working software.

Kitty is my go-to for the Linux desktop. I discovered it in an early stage and really liked it from the beginning. It’s great to see that the project continues to be developed so vigorously.

Awesome. I built a janky version of this for myself but I’m glad it’s supported natively now.

To someone uninformed, how does this compare to Ghostty?

Nice. I love kitty. But somehow I just realized I'm stuck in 0.47 even though I'm on Fedora, it's like 6 months old. Excited to try the automated session restore.

It doesn't work on Windows. What are your favorite Windows alternatives?

Tbh the quick access terminal stuff in this release is what I wanted three years ago when I wrote my own wrapper
