       | True color support is finally stable after all these years!

         | I have just tested this and am so very happy that it _finally_
         | works. Mosh is one of the few indispensable tools I constantly
         | rely on and wouldn 't know what to do without it.
         | 
         | A couple of days ago I tried Eternal Terminal as an alternative
         | but it wasn't for me. Mosh's missing scrolling is still no
         | problem for me as I just use tmux for that.

       | Mosh is absolutely fantastic. The reliability and recovery of the
       | connection works even over extremely low bandwidth and lossy
       | connections (e.g. when using a covert IPv4 channel), and instant
       | local echo for responsiveness, as well.

       | Recently traveled by train through part of the United States and
       | kept the same Mosh session going the entire time through cellular
       | drops and long periods of inactivity. Amazing stuff!

       | Very nice! The first release in five years. A great application.

       | Mosh is the perfect client for persisting and resuming sessions
       | in the face of challenging connectivity. Close your laptop for
       | lunch, re-open it afterwards and just keep going seamlessly. Ipad
       | screen locks and kills your SSH sessions? Mosh will let you
       | resume instantly. Don't get me wrong, tools like tmux and screen
       | are still useful, but you don't have to ssh back in and then
       | reattach with mosh.

       | Very cool, Thanks! I really really hope we can get a native
       | windows client on of these years as this prevents any sort of
       | wide scale adoption at the company I work, and I've heard similar
       | comments from others.

       | I would also like to give a shoot out for Eternal Terminal:
       | 
       | https://eternalterminal.dev/
       | 
       | It's a similar project that keeps SSH connections alike. Unlike
       | Mosh, it doesn't reduce remote lag, but on the plus side, it
       | doesn't break the history buffer and works nicely with tmux
       | control mode.
       | 
       | Both have their uses depending on the situation.
