### Requirements ###
Wsltty does not seem to work with WSL V2 mode since release 2.0.0 (#343).
As a workaround until a solution in the wslbridge gateway, it is suggested
to install [release 1.3.17](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/releases/tag/1.3.17);
maybe uninstall WSL first, see [issue 343 comment](https://github.com/mintty/wsltty/issues/343#issuecomment-1818367512).
Another remedy could be to configure your WSL distributions to run in WSL V1 mode, for example:
`wsl --set-version Ubuntu 1`.
To connect to WSL, wsltty uses wslbridge2, which uses undocumented
Windows APIs that have been changed various times, so wslbridge2 needed
to catch up with incompatible changes, particularly to support WSL V2.
(See e.g. issue #343; to work with WSL V2, wsltty 2.0.0 needed a WSL update
to [release 1.3.17](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/releases/tag/1.3.17).)
Since release 3.0.5, WSLtty requires Windows version 1809 (the November 2018 release).
By end of 2024, wsltty works again with recent updates of the WSL subsystem.
