### Changelog
See [NEWS](https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/-/blob/master/NEWS) for details on changes and fixes made in the current release.
### Performance Issues
Xfce Terminal is based on the Vte terminal widget library, just like
gnome-terminal. Vte is probably not the fastest terminal emulation library on
earth, but it's one of the best when it comes to Unicode support, and not to
forget, it's actively developed.
