I have uploaded mintty 2.8.5 with the following changes:
Character handling and rendering
* CJK brackets are expanded if needed to ensure their symmetry (#756).
* Support of emoji style text attribute SGR 51/52 (mintty/wsltty#82,
#600).
* Fixed emoji display variation selector handling.
* Character Info displays emoji sequence short names
(mintty/wsltty#82, #600).
* Reverted Sixel colour registers patch that could fail Sixel display
or even stall mintty window (#740, mintty/wsltty#90).
Input
* Reenabled Ctrl+key escape sequences (#743).
* Input optionally keeps selection highlighting
(ClearSelectionOnInput=false) (#222).
Mouse handling
* Reenabled drag-and-drop text selection on focussing at a threshhold
(~#717).
Configuration
* Alt+F2 and mintty --dir=... stay in selected dir even in login mode
(#500, #744).
* Fixed option --dir=...
* Context menu configuration (MenuMenu etc): new flags 'x' and 'u'
(#755).
* More layout-tolerant colour value syntax (#758).
* Invocation as wsl*[-distro].exe implies a --WSL[=distro] parameter
(mintty/wsltty#63).
* Added missing option `mintheme --list`.
* New mintheme options --file (#762) and --query.
* New option ClearSelectionOnInput=false disables selection highlight
clearing on input (#222).
Window handling
* Clear selection when clipboard content updated (#742).
* Skip refresh after colour setting if nothing changed (e.g. by prompt).
Desktop integration
* WSL mount point configuration (/etc/wsl.conf or fstab) is
considered in path conversion for open/paste (mintty/wsltty#91).
* Workaround for ConEmu WM_MOUSEACTIVATE bug (#724).
Documentation
* Terminal multiplexer configuration: added tmux (#757).
* Search bar: activated also from context menu (#753).
