CHANGES FROM 3.1c TO 3.2
* Add a flag to disable keys to close a message.
* Permit shortcut keys in buffer, client, tree modes to be configured with a
format (-K flag to choose-buffer, choose-client, choose-tree).
* Add a current_file format for the config file being parsed.
* When display-message used in config file, show the message after the config
file finishes.
* Add client-detached notification in control mode.
* Improve performance of format evaluation.
* Make jump command support UTF-8 in copy mode.
* Support X11 colour names and other colour formats for OSC 10 and 11.
* Add "pipe" variants of "copy-pipe" commands which do not copy.
* Include "focused" in client flags.
* Send Unicode directional isolate characters around horizontal pane borders if
the terminal supports UTF-8 and an extension terminfo(5) capability "Bidi" is
present.
* Add a -S flag to new-window to make it select the existing window if one
with the given name already exists rather than failing with an error.
* Addd a format modifier to check if a window or session name exists (N/w or
N/s).
* Add compat clock_gettime for older macOS.
* Add a no-detached choice to detach-on-destroy which detaches only if there
are no other detached sessions to switch to.
* Add rectangle-on and rectangle-off copy mode commands.
* Change so that window_flags escapes # automatically. A new format
window_raw_flags contains the old unescaped version.
* Add -N flag to never start server even if command would normally do so.
* With incremental search, start empty and only repeat the previous search if
the user tries to search again with an empty prompt.
* Add a value for remain-on-exit that only keeps the pane if the program
failed.
* Add a -C flag to run-shell to use a tmux command rather than a shell command.
* Do not list user options with show-hooks.
* Remove current match indicator in copy mode which can't work anymore since we
only search the visible region.
* Make synchronize-panes a pane option and add -U flag to set-option to unset
an option on all panes.
* Make replacement of ##s consistent when drawing formats, whether followed by
[ or not. Add a flag (e) to the q: format modifier to double up #s
* Add -N flag to display-panes to ignore keys.
* Change how escaping is processed for formats so that ## and # can be used in
styles.
* Add a 'w' format modifier for string width.
* Add support for Haiku.
* Expand menu and popup -x and -y as formats.
* Add numeric comparisons for formats.
* Fire focus events even when the pane is in a mode.
* Add -O flag to display-menu to not automatically close when all mouse buttons
are released.
* Allow fnmatch(3) wildcards in update-environment.
* Disable nested job expansion so that the result of #() is not expanded again.
* Use the setal capability as well as (tmux's) Setulc.
* Add -q flag to unbind-key to hide errors.
* Allow -N without a command to change or add a note to an existing key.
* Add a -w flag to set- and load-buffer to send to clipboard using OSC 52.
* Add -F to set-environment and source-file.
* Allow colour to be spelt as color in various places.
* Add n: modifier to get length of a format.
* Respond to OSC colour requests if a colour is available.
* Add a -d option to display-message to set delay.
* Add a way for control mode clients to subscribe to a format and be notified
of changes rather than having to poll.
* Add some formats for search in copy mode (search_present, search_match).
* Do not wait on shutdown for commands started with run -b.
* Add -b flags to insert a window before (like the existing -a for after) to
break-pane, move-window, new-window.
* Make paste -p the default for ].
* Add support for pausing a pane when the output buffered for a control mode
client gets too far behind. The pause-after flag with a time is set on the
pane with refresh-client -f and a paused pane may be resumed with
refresh-client -A.
* Allow strings in configuration files to span multiple lines - newlines and
any leading whitespace are removed, as well as any following comments that
couldn't be part of a format. This allows long formats or other strings to be
annotated and indented.
* Instead of using a custom parse function to process {} in configuration
files, treat as a set of statements the same as outside {} and convert back
to a string as the last step. This means the rules are consistent inside and
outside {}, %if and friends work at the right time, and the final result
isn't littered with unnecessary newlines.
* Add support for extended keys - both xterm(1)'s CSI 27 ~ sequence and the
libtickit CSI u sequence are accepted; only the latter is output. tmux will
only attempt to use these if the extended-keys option is on and it can detect
that the terminal outside supports them (or is told it does with the
"extkeys" terminal feature).
* Add an option to set the pane border lines style from a choice of single
lines (ACS or UTF-8), double or heavy (UTF-8), simple (plain ASCII) or number
(the pane numbers). Lines that won't work on a non-UTF-8 terminal are
translated back into ACS when they are output.
* Make focus events update the latest client (like a key press).
* Store UTF-8 characters differently to reduce memory use.
* Fix break-pane -n when only one pane in the window.
* Instead of sending all data to control mode clients as fast as possible, add
a limit of how much data will be sent to the client and try to use it for
panes with some degree of fairness.
* Add an active-pane client flag (set with attach-session -f, new-session -f
or refresh-client -f). This allows a client to have an independent active
pane for interactive use (the window client pane is still used for many
things however).
* Add a mark to copy mode, this is set with the set-mark command (bound to X)
and appears with the entire line shown using copy-mode-mark-style and the
marked character in reverse. The jump-to-mark command (bound to M-x) swaps
the mark and the cursor positions.
* Add a -D flag to make the tmux server run in the foreground and not as a
daemon.
* Do not loop forever in copy mode when search finds an empty match.
* Fix the next-matching-bracket logic when using vi(1) keys.
* Add a customize mode where options may be browsed and changed, includes
adding a brief description of each option. Bound to C-b C by default.
* Change message log (C-b ~) so there is one for the server rather than one per
client and it remains after detach, and make it useful by logging every
command.
* Add M-+ and M-- to tree mode to expand and collapse all.
* Change the existing client flags for control mode to apply for any client,
use the same mechanism for the read-only flag and add an ignore-size flag.
refresh-client -F has become -f (-F stays for backwards compatibility) and
attach-session and switch-client now have -f flags also. A new format
client_flags lists the flags and is shown by list-clients by default.
This separates the read-only flag from "ignore size" behaviour (new
ignore-size) flag - both behaviours are useful in different circumstances.
attach -r and switchc -r remain and set or toggle both flags together.
* Store and restore cursor position when copy mode is resized.
* Export TERM_PROGRAM and TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION like various other terminals.
* Add formats for after hook command arguments: hook_arguments with all the
arguments together; hook_argument_0, hook_argument_1 and so on with
individual arguments; hook_flag_X if flag -X is present; hook_flag_X_0,
hook_flag_X_1 and so on if -X appears multiple times.
* Try to search the entire history first for up to 200 ms so a search count can
be shown. If it takes too long, search the visible text only.
* Use VIS_CSTYLE for paste buffers also (show \012 as \n).
* Change default formats for tree mode, client mode and buffer mode to be more
compact and remove some clutter.
* Add a key (e) in buffer mode to open the buffer in an editor. The buffer
contents is updated when the editor exits.
* Add -e flag for new-session to set environment variables, like the same flag
for new-window.
* Improve search match marking in copy mode. Two new options
copy-mode-match-style and copy-mode-current-match-style to set the style for
matches and for the current match respectively. Also a change so that if a
copy key is pressed with no selection, the current match (if any) is copied.
* Sanitize session names like window names instead of forbidding invalid ones.
* Check if the clear terminfo(5) capability starts with CSI and if so then
assume the terminal is VT100-like, rather than relying on the XT capability.
* Improve command prompt tab completion and add menus both for strings and -t
and -s (when used without a trailing space). command-prompt has additional
flags for only completing a window (-W) and a target (-T), allowing C-b ' to
only show windows and C-b . only targets.
* Change all the style options to string options so they can support formats.
Change pane-border-active-style to use this to change the border colour when
in a mode or with synchronize-panes on. This also implies a few minor changes
to existing behaviour:
- set-option -a with a style option automatically inserts a comma between the
old value and appended text.
- OSC 10 and 11 no longer set the window-style option, instead they store the
colour internally in the pane data and it is used as the default when the
option is evaluated.
- status-fg and -bg now override status-style instead of the option values
being changed.
* Add extension terminfo(5) capabilities for margins and focus reporting.
* Try $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/tmux.conf as well as ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf for
configuration file (the search paths are in TMUX_CONF in Makefile.am).
* Remove the DSR 1337 iTerm2 extension and replace by the extended device
attributes sequence (CSI > q) supported by more terminals.
* Add a -s flag to copy-mode to specify a different pane for the source
content. This means it is possible to view two places in a pane's history at
the same time in different panes, or view the history while still using the
pane. Pressing r refreshes the content from the source pane.
* Add an argument to list-commands to show only a single command.
* Change copy mode to make copy of the pane history so it does not need to
freeze the pane.
* Restore pane_current_path format from portable tmux on OpenBSD.
* Wait until the initial command sequence is done before sending a device
attributes request and other bits that prompt a reply from the terminal. This
means that stray relies are not left on the terminal if the command has
attached and then immediately detached and tmux will not be around to receive
them.
* Add a -f filter argument to the list commands like choose-tree.
* Move specific hooks for panes to pane options and windows for window options
rather than all hooks being session options. These hooks are now window
options:
window-layout-changed
window-linked
window-pane-changed
window-renamed
window-unlinked
And these now pane options:
pane-died
pane-exited
pane-focus-in
pane-focus-out
pane-mode-changed
pane-set-clipboard
Any existing configurations using these hooks on a session rather than
globally (that is, set-hook or set-option without -g) may need to be changed.
* Show signal names when a process exits with remain-on-exit on platforms which
have a way to get them.
* Start menu with top item selected if no mouse and use mode-style for the
selected item.
* Add a copy-command option and change copy-pipe and friends to pipe to it if
used without arguments, allows all the default copy key bindings to be
changed to pipe with one option rather than needing to change each key
binding individually.
* Tidy up the terminal detection and feature code and add named sets of
terminal features, each of which are defined in one place and map to a
builtin set of terminfo(5) capabilities. Features can be specified based on
TERM with a new terminal-features option or with the -T flag when running
tmux. tmux will also detect a few common terminals from the DA and DSR
responses.
This is intended to make it easier to configure tmux's use of terminfo(5)
even in the presence of outdated ncurses(3) or terminfo(5) databases or for
features which do not yet have a terminfo(5) entry. Instead of having to grok
terminfo(5) capability names and what they should be set to in the
terminal-overrides option, the user can hopefully just give tmux a feature
name and let it do the right thing.
The terminal-overrides option remains both for backwards compatibility and to
allow tweaks of individual capabilities.
* Support mintty's application escape sequence (means tmux doesn't have to
delay to wait for Escape, so no need to reduce escape-time when using
mintty).
* Change so main-pane-width and height can be given as a percentage.
* Support for the iTerm2 synchronized updates feature (allows the terminal to
avoid unnecessary drawing while output is still in progress).
* Make the mouse_word and mouse_line formats work in copy mode and enable the
default pane menu in copy mode.
* Add a -T flag to resize-pane to trim lines below the cursor, moving lines out
of the history.
* Add a way to mark environment variables as "hidden" so they can be used by
tmux (for example in formats) but are not set in the environment for new
panes. set-environment and show-environment have a new -h flag and there is a
new %hidden statement for the configuration file.
* Change default position for display-menu -x and -y to centre rather than top
left.
* Add support for per-client transient popups, similar to menus but which are
connected to an external command (like a pane). These are created with new
command display-popup.
* Change double and triple click bindings so that only one is fired (previously
double click was fired on the way to triple click). Also add default double
and triple click bindings to copy the word or line under the cursor and
change the existing bindings in copy mode to do the same.
* Add a default binding for button 2 to paste.
* Add -d flag to run-shell to delay before running the command and allow it to
run without a command so it just delays.
* Add C-g to cancel command prompt with vi keys as well as emacs, and q in
command mode.
* When the server socket is given with -S, create it with umask 177 instead of
117 (because it may not be in a safe directory like the default directory in
/tmp).
* Add a copy-mode -H flag to hide the position marker in the top right.
* Add number operators for formats (+, -, *, / and m),

CHANGES FROM 3.0 to 3.0a

* Do not require REG_STARTEND.

* Respawn panes or windows correctly if default-command is set.

* Add missing option for after-kill-pane hook.

* Fix for crash with a format variable that doesn't exist.

* Do not truncate list-keys output on some platforms.

* Do not crash when restoring a layout with only one pane.

CHANGES FROM 2.9 to 3.0

* Workaround invalid layout strings generated by older tmux versions and add
some additional sanity checks

* xterm 348 now disables margins when resized, so send DECLRMM again after
resize.

* Add support for the SD (scroll down) escape sequence.

* Expand arguments to C and s format modifiers to match the m modifier.

* Add support for underscore colours (Setulc capability must be added with
terminal-overrides as described in tmux(1)).

* Add a "fill" style attribute for the fill colour of the drawing area (where
appropriate).

* New -H flag to send-keys to send literal keys.

* Format variables for pane mouse modes (mouse_utf8_flag and mouse_sgr_flag)
and for origin mode (origin_flag).

* Add -F to refresh-client for flags for control mode clients, only one flag
(no-output) supported at the moment.

* Add a few vi(1) keys for menus.

* Add pane options, set with set-option -p and displayed with show-options -p.
Pane options inherit from window options (so every pane option is also
a window option). The pane style is now configured by setting window-style
and window-active-style in the pane options; select-pane -P and -g now change
the option but are no longer documented.

* Do not document set-window-option and show-window-options. set-option -w and
show-options -w should be used instead.

* Add a -A flag to show-options to show parent options as well (they are marked
with a *).

* Resize panes lazily - do not resize unless they are in an attached, active
window.

* Add regular expression support for the format search, match and substitute
modifiers and make them able to ignore case. find-window now accepts -r to
use regular expressions.

* Do not use $TMUX to find the session because for windows in multiple sessions
it is wrong as often as it is right, and for windows in one session it is
pointless. Instead use TMUX_PANE if it is present.

* Do not always resize the window back to its original size after applying a
layout, keep it at the layout size until it must be resized (for example when
attached and window-size is not manual).

* Add new-session -X and attach-session -x to send SIGHUP to parent when
detaching (like detach-client -P).

* Support for octal escapes in strings (such as \007) and improve list-keys
output so it parses correctly if copied into a configuration file.

* INCOMPATIBLE: Add a new {} syntax to the configuration file. This is a string
similar to single quotes but also includes newlines and allows commands that
take other commands as string arguments to be expressed more clearly and
without additional escaping.

A literal { and } or a string containing { or } must now be escaped or
quoted, for example '{' and '}' instead of { or }, or 'X#{foo}' instead of
X#{foo}.

* New <, >, <= and >= comparison operators for formats.

* Improve escaping of special characters in list-keys output.

* INCOMPATIBLE: tmux's configuration parsing has changed to use yacc(1). There
is one incompatible change: a \ on its own must be escaped or quoted as
either \\ or '\' (the latter works on older tmux versions).

Entirely the same parser is now used for parsing the configuration file
and for string commands. This means that constructs previously only
available in .tmux.conf, such as %if, can now be used in string commands
(for example, those given to if-shell - not commands invoked from the
shell, they are still parsed by the shell itself).

* Add support for the overline attribute (SGR 53). The Smol capability is
needed in terminal-overrides.

* Add the ability to create simple menus. Introduces new command
display-menu. Default menus are bound to MouseDown3 on the status line;
MouseDown3 or M-MouseDown3 on panes; MouseDown3 in tree, client and
buffer modes; and C-b C-m and C-b M-m.

* Allow panes to be empty (no command). They can be created either by piping to
split-window -I, or by passing an empty command ('') to split-window. Output
can be sent to an existing empty window with display-message -I.

* Add keys to jump between matching brackets (emacs C-M-f and C-M-b, vi %).

* Add a -e flag to new-window, split-window, respawn-window, respawn-pane to
pass environment variables into the newly created process.

* Hooks are now stored in the options tree as array options, allowing them to
have multiple separate commands. set-hook and show-hooks remain but
set-option and show-options can now also be used (show-options will only show
hooks if given the -H flag). Hooks with multiple commands are run in index
order.

* Automatically scroll if dragging to create a selection with the mouse and the
cursor reaches the top or bottom line.

* Add -no-clear variants of copy-selection and copy-pipe which do not clear the
selection after copying. Make copy-pipe clear the selection by default to be
consistent with copy-selection.

* Add an argument to copy commands to set the prefix for the buffer name, this
(for example) allows buffers for different sessions to be named separately.

* Update session activity on focus event.

* Pass target from source-file into the config file parser so formats in %if
and %endif have access to more useful variables.

* Add the ability to infer an option type (server, session, window) from its
name to show-options (it was already present in set-option).

CHANGES FROM 2.9 to 2.9a

* Fix bugs in select-pane and the main-horizontal and main-vertical layouts.

CHANGES FROM 2.8 to 2.9

* Attempt to preserve horizontal cursor position as well as vertical with
reflow.

* Rewrite main-vertical and horizontal and change layouts to better handle the
case where all panes won't fit into the window size, reduce problems with
pane border status lines and fix other bugs mostly found by Thomas Sattler.

* Add format variables for the default formats in the various modes
(tree_mode_format and so on) and add a -a flag to display-message to list
variables with values.

* Add a -v flag to display-message to show verbose messages as the format is
parsed, this allows formats to be debugged

* Add support for HPA (\033[`).

* Add support for origin mode (\033[?6h).

* No longer clear history on RIS.

* Extend the #[] style syntax and use that together with previous format
changes to allow the status line to be entirely configured with a single
option.

Now that it is possible to configure their content, enable the existing code
that lets the status line be multiple lines in height. The status option can
now take a value of 2, 3, 4 or 5 (as well as the previous on or off) to
configure more than one line. The new status-format array option configures
the format of each line, the default just references the existing status-*
options, although some of the more obscure status options may be eliminated
in time.

Additions to the #[] syntax are: "align" to specify alignment (left, centre,
right), "list" for the window list and "range" to configure ranges of text
for the mouse bindings.

The "align" keyword can also be used to specify alignment of entries in tree
mode and the pane status lines.

* Add E: and T: format modifiers to expand a format twice (useful to expand the
value of an option).

* The individual -fg, -bg and -attr options have been removed; they
were superseded by -style options in tmux 1.9.

* Allow more than one mode to be opened in a pane. Modes are kept on a stack
and retrieved if the same mode is entered again. Exiting the active mode goes
back to the previous one.

* When showing command output in copy mode, call it view mode instead (affects
pane_mode format).

* Add -b to display-panes like run-shell.

* Handle UTF-8 in word-separators option.

* New "terminal" colour allowing options to use the terminal default colour
rather than inheriting the default from a parent option.

* Do not move the cursor in copy mode when the mouse wheel is used.

* Use the same working directory rules for jobs as new windows rather than
always starting in the user's home.

* Allow panes to be one line or column in size.

* Go to last line when goto-line number is out of range in copy mode.

* Yank previously cut text if any with C-y in the command prompt, only use the
buffer if no text has been cut.

* Add q: format modifier to quote shell special characters.

* Add StatusLeft and StatusRight mouse locations (keys such as
MouseDown1StatusLeft) for the status-left and status-right areas of the
status line.

* Add -Z to find-window.

* Support for windows larger than the client. This adds two new options,
window-size and default-size, and a new command, resize-window. The
force-width and force-height options and the session_width and session_height
formats have been removed.

The new window-size option tells tmux how to work out the size of windows:
largest means it picks the size of the largest session, smallest the smallest
session (similar to the old behaviour) and manual means that it does not
automatically resize windows. aggressive-resize modifies the choice of
session for largest and smallest as it did before.

If a window is in a session attached to a client that is too small, only part
of the window is shown. tmux attempts to keep the cursor visible, so the part
of the window displayed is changed as the cursor moves (with a small delay,
to try and avoid excess redrawing when applications redraw status lines or
similar that are not currently visible).

Drawing windows which are larger than the client is not as efficient as those
which fit, particularly when the cursor moves, so it is recommended to avoid
using this on slow machines or networks (set window-size to smallest or
manual).

The resize-window command can be used to resize a window manually. If it is
used, the window-size option is automatically set to manual for the window
(undo this with "setw -u window-size"). resize-window works in a similar way
to resize-pane (-U -D -L -R -x -y flags) but also has -a and -A flags. -a
sets the window to the size of the smallest client (what it would be if
window-size was smallest) and -A the largest.

For the same behaviour as force-width or force-height, use resize-window -x
or -y.

If the global window-size option is set to manual, the default-size option is
used for new windows. If -x or -y is used with new-session, that sets the
default-size option for the new session.

The maximum size of a window is 10000x10000. But expect applications to
complain and higher memory use if making a window that big. The minimum size
is the size required for the current layout including borders.

The refresh-client command can be used to pan around a window, -U -D -L -R
moves up, down, left or right and -c returns to automatic cursor
tracking. The position is reset when the current window is changed.

CHANGES FROM 2.3 to 2.4 20 April 2017

Incompatible Changes
====================

* Key tables have undergone major changes. Mode key tables are no longer
separate from the main key tables. All mode key tables have been removed,
together with the -t flag to bind-key and unbind-key.

The emacs-edit, vi-edit, emacs-choose and vi-choose tables have been replaced
by fixed key bindings in the command prompt and choose modes. The mode-keys
and status-keys options remain.

The emacs-copy and vi-copy tables have been replaced by the copy-mode and
copy-mode-vi tables. Commands are sent using the -X and -N flags to
send-keys. So the following:

bind -temacs-copy C-Up scroll-up
bind -temacs-copy -R5 WheelUpPane scroll-up

Becomes:

bind -Tcopy-mode C-Up send -X scroll-up
bind -Tcopy-mode WheelUpPane send -N5 -X scroll-up

This changes allows the full command parser (including command sequences) and
command set to be used - for example, the normal command prompt with editing
and history is now used for searching, jumping, and so on instead of a custom
one. The default C-r binding is now:

bind -Tcopy-mode C-r command-prompt -p'search up' "send -X search-backward '%%'"

There are also some new commmands available with send -X, such as
copy-pipe-and-cancel.
* set-remain-on-exit has gone -- can be achieved with hooks instead.
* Hooks: before hooks have been removed and only a selection of commands now
have after hooks (they are no longer automatic). Additional hooks have been
added.
* The xterm-keys option now defaults to on.

Normal Changes
==============

* Support for mouse double and triple clicks.
* BCE (Background Colour Erase) is now supported.
* All occurrences of a search string in copy mode are now highlighted;
additionally, the number of search results is displayed. The highlighting
updates interactively with the default emacs key bindings (incremental
search).
* source-file now understands glob patterns.
* Formats now have simple comparisons:

#{==:a,b}
#{!=:a,b}

* There are the following new formats:

- #{version} -- the tmux server version;
- #{client_termtype} -- the terminal type of the client;
- #{client_name} -- the name of a client;
- #{client_written} -- the number of bytes written to the client.

* The configuration file now accepts %if/%endif conditional blocks which are
processed when it is parsed; the argument is a format string (useful with the
new format comparison options).
* detach-client now has -E to execute a command replacing the client instead of
exiting.
* Add support for custom command aliases, this is an array option which
contains items of the form "alias=command". This is consulted when an
unknown command is parsed.
* break-pane now has -n to specify the new window name.
* OSC 52 support has been added for programs inside tmux to set a tmux buffer.
* The mouse "all event" mode (1003) is now supported.
* Palette setting is now possible (OSC 4 and 104).
* Strikethrough support (a recent terminfo is required).
* Grouped sessions can now be named (new -t).
* terminal-overrides and update-environment are now array options (the previous
set -ag syntax should work without change).
* There have been substantial performance improvements.

CHANGES FROM 2.2 to 2.3 29 September 2016

Incompatible Changes
====================

None.

Normal Changes
==============

* New option 'pane-border-status' to add text in the pane borders.
* Support for hooks on commands: 'after' and 'before' hooks.
* 'source-file' understands '-q' to suppress errors for nonexistent files.
* Lots of UTF8 improvements, especially on MacOS.
* 'window-status-separator' understands #[] expansions.
* 'split-window' understands '-f' for performing a full-width split.
* Allow report count to be specified when using 'bind-key -R'.
* 'set -a' for appending to user options (@foo) is now supported.
* 'display-panes' can now accept a command to run, rather than always
selecting the pane.

CHANGES FROM 2.1 to 2.2 10 April 2016

Incompatible Changes
====================

* The format strings which referenced time have been removed. Instead:

#{t:window_activity}

can be used.

* Support for TMPDIR has been removed. Use TMUX_TMPDIR instead.
* UTF8 detection how happens automatically if the client supports it, hence
the:

mouse-utf8
utf8

options has been removed.
* The:

mouse_utf8_flag

format string has been removed.
* The -I option to show-messages has been removed. See:

#{t:start_time}

format option instead.

Normal Changes
==============

* Panes are unzoomed with selectp -LRUD
* New formats added:

#{scroll_position}
#{socket_path}
#{=10:...} -- limit to N characters (from the start)
#{=-10:...} -- limit to N characters (from the end)
#{t:...} -- used to format time-based formats
#{b:...} -- used to ascertain basename from string
#{d:...} -- used to ascertain dirname from string
#{s:...} -- used to perform substitutions on a string

* Job output is run via the format system, so formats work again
* If display-time is set to 0, then the indicators wait for a key to be
pressed.
* list-keys and list-commands can be run without starting the tmux server.
* kill-session learns -C to clear all alerts in all windows of the session.
* Support for hooks (internal for now), but hooks for the following have been
implemented:

alert-bell
alert-silence
alert-activity
client-attached
client-detached
client-resized
pane-died
pane-exited

* RGB (24bit) colour support. The 'Tc' flag must be set in the external TERM
entry (using terminal-overrides or a custom terminfo entry).

CHANGES FROM 1.9 to 1.9a 22 February 2014

NOTE: This is a bug-fix release to address some important bugs which just
missed the 1.9 deadline, but were found afterwards.

Normal Changes
==============

* Fix crash due to uninitialized lastwp member of layout_cell
* Fix -fg/-bg/-style with 256 colour terminals.

CHANGES FROM 1.8 to 1.9, 20 February 2014

NOTE: This release has bumped the tmux protocol version. It is therefore
advised that the prior tmux server is restarted when this version of tmux is
installed, to avoid protocol mismatch errors for newer clients trying to
talk to an older running tmux server.

Incompatible Changes
====================

* 88 colour support has been removed.
* 'default-path' has been removed. The new-window command accepts '-c' to
cater for this. The previous value of "." can be replaced with: 'neww -c
$PWD', the previous value of '' which meant current path of the pane can
be specified as: 'neww -c "#{pane_current_path}"'

Deprecated Changes
==================

* The single format specifiers: #A -> #Z (where defined) have been
deprecated and replaced with longer-named equivalents, as listed in the
FORMATS section of the tmux manpage.
* The various foo-{fg,bg,attr} commands have been deprecated and replaced
with equivalent foo-style option instead. Currently this is still
backwards-compatible, but will be removed over time.

Normal Changes
==============

* A new environment variable TMUX_TMPDIR is now honoured, allowing the
socket directory to be set outside of TMPDIR (/tmp/ if not set).
* If -s not given to swap-pane the current pane is assumed.
* A #{pane_syncronized} format specifier has been added to be a conditional
format if a pane is in a syncronised mode (c.f. syncronize-panes)
* Tmux now runs under Cygwin natively.
* Formats can now be nested within each other and expanded accordingly.
* Added 'automatic-rename-format' option to allow the automatic rename
mechanism to use something other than the default of
#{pane_current_command}.
* new-session learnt '-c' to specify the starting directory for that session
and all subsequent windows therein.
* The session name is now shown in the message printed to the terminal when
a session is detached.
* Lots more format specifiers have been added.
* Server race conditions have been fixed; in particular commands are not run
until after the configuration file is read completely.
* Case insensitive searching in tmux's copy-mode is now possible.
* attach-session and switch-client learnt the '-t' option to accept a window
and/or a pane to use.
* Copy-mode is only exited if no selection is in progress.
* Paste key in copy-mode is now possible to enter text from the clipboard.
* status-interval set to '0' now works as intended.
* tmux now supports 256 colours running under fbterm.
* Many bug fixes!

CHANGES FROM 1.7 to 1.8, 26 March 2013

Incompatible Changes

* Free-form options can be set with set-option if prepended with an '@'
sign.
* capture-pane learnt '-p' to send to stdout, and '-e' for capturing escape
sequences, and '-a' to capture the alternate screen, and '-P' to dump
pending output.
* Many new formats added (client_session, client_last_session, etc.)
* Control mode, which is a way for a client to send tmux commands.
Currently more useful to users of iterm2.
* resize-pane learnt '-x' and '-y' for absolute pane sizing.
* Config file loading now reports errors from all files which are loaded via
the 'source-file' command.
* 'copy-pipe' mode command to copy selection and pipe the selection to a
command.
* Panes can now emit focus notifications for certain applications
which use those.
* run-shell and if-shell now accept formats.
* resize-pane learnt '-Z' for zooming a pane temporarily.
* new-session learnt '-A' to make it behave like attach-session.
* set-option learnt '-o' to prevent setting an option which is already set.
* capture-pane and show-options learns '-q' to silence errors.

* Add pane id to each pane in layout description (while still accepting
the old form).
* Provide defined ways to set the various default-path possibilities: ~
for home directory, . for server start directory, - for session start
directory and empty for the pane's working directory (the default). All
can also be used as part of a relative path (eg -/foo). Also provide -c
flags to neww and splitw to override default-path setting.
* Add -l flag to send-keys to send input literally (without translating
key names).
* Allow a single option to be specified to show-options to show just that
option.
* New command "move-pane" (like join-pane but allows the same window).
* join-pane and move-pane commands learn "-b" option to place the pane to
the left or above.
* Support for bracketed-paste mode.
* Allow send-keys command to accept hex values.
* Add locking around "start-server" to avoid race-conditions.
* break-pane learns -P/-F arguments for display formatting.

* copy mode learns "wrap-search" option.
* Add a simple form of output rate limiting by counting the number of
certain C0 sequences (linefeeds, backspaces, carriage returns) and if it
exceeds a threshold (current default 250/millisecond), start to redraw
the pane every 100 milliseconds instead of making each change as it
comes. Two configuration options - c0-change-trigger and
c0-change-interval.
* find-window learns new flags: "-C", "-N", "-T" to match against either or

a session when a window is closed. (see "move-window -r").
* Only enter copy-mode on scroll up.
* choose-* and list-* commands all use "-F" for format specifiers.
* When spawning external commands, the value from the "default-shell" option
is now used, rather than assuming /bin/sh.
* New choose-tree command to render window/sessions as a tree for selection.
* display-message learns new format options.
* For linked-windows across sessions, all flags for that window are now
cleared across sessions.
* Lots and lots of bug fixes, fixing memory-leaks, etc.

does not enter copy mode.
* Add a -r flag to switch-client to toggle the client read-only flag.
* Add pane-base-index option.
* Support \ for line continuation in the configuration file.
* Framework for more powerful formatting of command output and use it for
list-{panes,windows,sessions}. This allows more descriptive replacements
(such as #{session_name}) and conditionals.
* Mark dead panes with some text saying they are dead.
* Reject $SHELL if it is not a full path.
* Add -S option to refresh-client to redraw status line.
* Add an else clause for if-shell.
* Try to resolve relative paths for loadb and saveb (first, using client
working directory, if any, then default-path or session working directory).
* Support for \e[3J to clear the history and send the corresponding
terminfo code (E3) before locking.
* When in copy mode, make repeat count indicate buffer to replace, if used.
* Add screen*:XT to terminal-overrides for tmux-in-tmux.
* Status-line message attributes added.
* Move word-separators to be a session rather than window option.
* Change the way the working directory for new processes is discovered. If
default-path isn't empty, it is used. Otherwise, if a new window is created
from the command-line, the working directory of the client is used. If not,
platform specific code is used to retrieve the current working directory
of the process in the active pane. If that fails, the directory where the
session was created is used, instead.
* Do not change the current pane if both mouse-select-{pane,window} are
enabled.
* Add \033[s and \033[u to save and restore cursor position.
* Allow $HOME to be used as default-path.
* Add CNL and CPL escape sequences.
* Calculate last position correctly for UTF-8 wide characters.
* Add an option allow-rename to disable the window rename escape sequence.
* Attributes for each type of status-line alert (ie bell, content and
activity) added. Therefore, remove the superfluous options
window-status-alert-{attr,bg,fg}.
* Add a -R flag to send-keys to reset the terminal.
* Add strings to allow the aixterm bright colours to be used when
configuring colours.
* Drop the ability to have a list of keys in the prefix in favour of two
separate options, prefix and prefix2.
* Flag -2 added to send-prefix to send the secondary prefix key.
* Show pane size in top right of display panes mode.
* Some memory leaks plugged.
* More command-prompt editing improvements.
* Various manpage improvements.
* More Vi mode improvements.

Import tmux 1.5:

CHANGES FROM 1.4 TO 1.5, 09 July 2011

* Support xterm mouse modes 1002 and 1003.
* Change from a per-session stack of buffers to one global stack. This renders
copy-buffer useless and makes buffer-limit now a server option.
* Fix most-recently-used choice by avoiding reset the activity timer for
unattached sessions every second.
* Add a -P option to new-window and split-window to print the new window or
pane index in target form (useful to pass it into other commands).
* Handle a # at the end of a replacement string (such as status-left)
correctly.
* Support for UTF-8 mouse input (\033[1005h) which was added in xterm 262.
If the new mouse-utf8 option is on, UTF-8 mouse input is enabled for all
UTF-8 terminals. The option defaults to on if LANG etc are set in the same
manner as the utf8 option.
* Support for HP-UX.
* Accept colours of the hex form #ffffff and translate to the nearest from the
xterm(1) 256-colour set.
* Clear the non-blocking IO flag (O_NONBLOCK) on the stdio file descriptors
before closing them (fixes things like "tmux ls && cat").
* Use TMPDIR if set.
* Fix next and previous session functions to actually work.
* Support -x and -y for new-session to specify the initial size of the window
if created detached with -d.
* Make bind-key accept characters with the top-bit-set and print them as octal.
* Set $TMUX without the session when background jobs are run.
* Simplify the way jobs work and drop the persist type, so all jobs are
fire-and-forget.
* Accept tcgetattr/tcsetattr(3) failure, fixes problems with fatal() if the
terminal disappears while locked.
* Add a -P option to detach to HUP the client's parent process (usually causing
it to exit as well).
* Support passing through escape sequences to the underlying terminal by using
DCS with a "tmux;" prefix.
* Prevent tiled producing a corrupt layout when only one column is needed.
* Give each pane created in a tmux server a unique id (starting from 0), put it
in the TMUX_PANE environment variable and accept it as a target.
* Allow a start and end line to be specified for capture-pane which may be
negative to capture part of the history.
* Add -a and -s options to lsp to list all panes in the server or session
respectively. Likewise add -s to lsw.

command-prompt. Include the current window and session name in the prompt
when renaming and add a new key binding ($) for rename session.
* Option bell-on-alert added to trigger the terminal bell when there is an
alert.
* Change the list-keys format so that it shows the keys using actual tmux
commands which should be able to be directly copied into the config file.

Initial import of tmux-1.4:

tmux is a "terminal multiplexer". It enables a number of terminals (or
windows) to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. tmux is
intended to be a simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs
such as GNU screen.

The import of tmux is intended to replace window(1) in the not-too-distant
future. For reference, tmux is also present in the base system of FreeBSD
and OpenBSD.
