This page lists terminals emulators and their homepages and their latest release dates.
Is anyone interested in the contact addresses of maintainers? Should these be added? Or will the table just get too big? what do you think? send me an email!
Comments and thoughts:
Gnome Terminal is on gnome.org and Konsole is on kde.org, of course. But quite a few of the current terminals are hosted by SourceForge.
these terminals seem to be dead: Ansi_Term Aterm and Kterm.
Some abbreviations used in the table:
deps dependencies XYZ 1.2.3+ requires version 1.2.3 of program XYZ - or better (+) ml multi-lingual (as within "mltern" and "wterm-ml")
