Libghostty 1.0 Released with Stable C ABI for High-Performance Terminals
Mitchell Hashimoto has released libghostty 1.0, a portable, high-performance C terminal emulation library extracted directly from Ghostty with a locked ABI.
The 1.0 milestone for libghostty has officially arrived, bringing a stable C library and a locked C ABI for terminal emulation extracted straight from the core of Ghostty. What started as a Zig module transition has evolved into a production-ready engine used across hundreds of free and commercial products by millions of users.
With strict ABI stability enforcement, libghostty provides developers with a robust, high-performance terminal emulator component that can be embedded securely into diverse software architectures.
