kitty 0.50.0 adds session save and restore across logout or restart, scrollback included

Kovid Goyal released kitty 0.50.0, the GPU-based terminal emulator, on 3 November 2026. The restore_session_after_logout option saves every instance's state, including scrollback, on logout, restart or shutdown, and restores it on next start. Saved state is encrypted; on macOS the key sits in the keychain, on Linux restore requires the Inhibit desktop portal (a D-Bus session-control interface).
