Raft WSL 24.08.1

We're excited to announce the latest update to Raft WSL, packed with new features and improvements to enhance your WSL experience. Here’s what’s new in version 24.08.1:

New Distro View

Introducing a new streamlined view specifically designed for users with a limited number of distros installed. This view simplifies navigation and allows for easier management of your distributions.

WSL Settings Launch Support

You can now launch WSL Settings directly from Raft, provided you’re running WSL version 2.3.11 or newer. This feature is still in preview, but it’s a step towards giving you more control and flexibility over your WSL environment.

Windows Terminal Profile for Ubuntu

We’ve fixed an issue where Raft would not correctly launch the Windows Terminal profile for Ubuntu. This update ensures that your terminal sessions start seamlessly with the correct profile every time.

Other changes
