1CHANGES FROM 3.2 TO 3.2a
2
3* Add an "always" value for the "extended-keys" option; if set then tmux will
4  forward extended keys to applications even if they do not request them.
5
6* Add a "mouse" terminal feature so tmux can enable the mouse on terminals
7  where it is known to be supported even if terminfo(5) says otherwise.
8
9* Do not expand the filename given to -f so it can contain colons.
10
11* Fixes for problems with extended keys and modifiers, scroll region,
12  source-file, crosscompiling, format modifiers and other minor issues.
13
14CHANGES FROM 3.1c TO 3.2
15
16* Add a flag to disable keys to close a message.
17
18* Permit shortcut keys in buffer, client, tree modes to be configured with a
19  format (-K flag to choose-buffer, choose-client, choose-tree).
20
21* Add a current_file format for the config file being parsed.
22
23* When display-message used in config file, show the message after the config
24  file finishes.
25
26* Add client-detached notification in control mode.
27
28* Improve performance of format evaluation.
29
30* Make jump command support UTF-8 in copy mode.
31
32* Support X11 colour names and other colour formats for OSC 10 and 11.
33
34* Add "pipe" variants of "copy-pipe" commands which do not copy.
35
36* Include "focused" in client flags.
37
38* Send Unicode directional isolate characters around horizontal pane borders if
39  the terminal supports UTF-8 and an extension terminfo(5) capability "Bidi" is
40  present.
41
42* Add a -S flag to new-window to make it select the existing window if one
43  with the given name already exists rather than failing with an error.
44
45* Add a format modifier to check if a window or session name exists (N/w or
46  N/s).
47
48* Add compat clock_gettime for older macOS.
49
50* Add a no-detached choice to detach-on-destroy which detaches only if there
51  are no other detached sessions to switch to.
52
53* Add rectangle-on and rectangle-off copy mode commands.
54
55* Change so that window_flags escapes # automatically. A new format
56  window_raw_flags contains the old unescaped version.
57
58* Add -N flag to never start server even if command would normally do so.
59
60* With incremental search, start empty and only repeat the previous search if
61  the user tries to search again with an empty prompt.
62
63* Add a value for remain-on-exit that only keeps the pane if the program
64  failed.
65
66* Add a -C flag to run-shell to use a tmux command rather than a shell command.
67
68* Do not list user options with show-hooks.
69
70* Remove current match indicator in copy mode which can't work anymore since we
71  only search the visible region.
72
73* Make synchronize-panes a pane option and add -U flag to set-option to unset
74  an option on all panes.
75
76* Make replacement of ##s consistent when drawing formats, whether followed by
77  [ or not. Add a flag (e) to the q: format modifier to double up #s.
78
79* Add -N flag to display-panes to ignore keys.
80
81* Change how escaping is processed for formats so that ## and # can be used in
82  styles.
83
84* Add a 'w' format modifier for string width.
85
86* Add support for Haiku.
87
88* Expand menu and popup -x and -y as formats.
89
90* Add numeric comparisons for formats.
91
92* Fire focus events even when the pane is in a mode.
93
94* Add -O flag to display-menu to not automatically close when all mouse buttons
95  are released.
96
97* Allow fnmatch(3) wildcards in update-environment.
98
99* Disable nested job expansion so that the result of #() is not expanded again.
100
101* Use the setal capability as well as (tmux's) Setulc.
102
103* Add -q flag to unbind-key to hide errors.
104
105* Allow -N without a command to change or add a note to an existing key.
106
107* Add a -w flag to set- and load-buffer to send to clipboard using OSC 52.
108
109* Add -F to set-environment and source-file.
110
111* Allow colour to be spelt as color in various places.
112
113* Add n: modifier to get length of a format.
114
115* Respond to OSC colour requests if a colour is available.
116
117* Add a -d option to display-message to set delay.
118
119* Add a way for control mode clients to subscribe to a format and be notified
120  of changes rather than having to poll.
121
122* Add some formats for search in copy mode (search_present, search_match).
123
124* Do not wait on shutdown for commands started with run -b.
125
126* Add -b flags to insert a window before (like the existing -a for after) to
127  break-pane, move-window, new-window.
128
129* Make paste -p the default for ].
130
131* Add support for pausing a pane when the output buffered for a control mode
132  client gets too far behind. The pause-after flag with a time is set on the
133  pane with refresh-client -f and a paused pane may be resumed with
134  refresh-client -A.
135
136* Allow strings in configuration files to span multiple lines - newlines and
137  any leading whitespace are removed, as well as any following comments that
138  couldn't be part of a format. This allows long formats or other strings to be
139  annotated and indented.
140
141* Instead of using a custom parse function to process {} in configuration
142  files, treat as a set of statements the same as outside {} and convert back
143  to a string as the last step. This means the rules are consistent inside and
144  outside {}, %if and friends work at the right time, and the final result
145  isn't littered with unnecessary newlines.
146
147* Add support for extended keys - both xterm(1)'s CSI 27 ~ sequence and the
148  libtickit CSI u sequence are accepted; only the latter is output. tmux will
149  only attempt to use these if the extended-keys option is on and it can detect
150  that the terminal outside supports them (or is told it does with the
151  "extkeys" terminal feature).
152
153* Add an option to set the pane border lines style from a choice of single
154  lines (ACS or UTF-8), double or heavy (UTF-8), simple (plain ASCII) or number
155  (the pane numbers). Lines that won't work on a non-UTF-8 terminal are
156  translated back into ACS when they are output.
157
158* Make focus events update the latest client (like a key press).
159
160* Store UTF-8 characters differently to reduce memory use.
161
162* Fix break-pane -n when only one pane in the window.
163
164* Instead of sending all data to control mode clients as fast as possible, add
165  a limit of how much data will be sent to the client and try to use it for
166  panes with some degree of fairness.
167
168* Add an active-pane client flag (set with attach-session -f, new-session -f
169  or refresh-client -f). This allows a client to have an independent active
170  pane for interactive use (the window client pane is still used for many
171  things however).
172
173* Add a mark to copy mode, this is set with the set-mark command (bound to X)
174  and appears with the entire line shown using copy-mode-mark-style and the
175  marked character in reverse. The jump-to-mark command (bound to M-x) swaps
176  the mark and the cursor positions.
177
178* Add a -D flag to make the tmux server run in the foreground and not as a
179  daemon.
180
181* Do not loop forever in copy mode when search finds an empty match.
182
183* Fix the next-matching-bracket logic when using vi(1) keys.
184
185* Add a customize mode where options may be browsed and changed, includes
186  adding a brief description of each option. Bound to C-b C by default.
187
188* Change message log (C-b ~) so there is one for the server rather than one per
189  client and it remains after detach, and make it useful by logging every
190  command.
191
192* Add M-+ and M-- to tree mode to expand and collapse all.
193
194* Change the existing client flags for control mode to apply for any client,
195  use the same mechanism for the read-only flag and add an ignore-size flag.
196
197  refresh-client -F has become -f (-F stays for backwards compatibility) and
198  attach-session and switch-client now have -f flags also. A new format
199  client_flags lists the flags and is shown by list-clients by default.
200
201  This separates the read-only flag from "ignore size" behaviour (new
202  ignore-size) flag - both behaviours are useful in different circumstances.
203
204  attach -r and switchc -r remain and set or toggle both flags together.
205
206* Store and restore cursor position when copy mode is resized.
207
208* Export TERM_PROGRAM and TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION like various other terminals.
209
210* Add formats for after hook command arguments: hook_arguments with all the
211  arguments together; hook_argument_0, hook_argument_1 and so on with
212  individual arguments; hook_flag_X if flag -X is present; hook_flag_X_0,
213  hook_flag_X_1 and so on if -X appears multiple times.
214
215* Try to search the entire history first for up to 200 ms so a search count can
216  be shown. If it takes too long, search the visible text only.
217
218* Use VIS_CSTYLE for paste buffers also (show \012 as \n).
219
220* Change default formats for tree mode, client mode and buffer mode to be more
221  compact and remove some clutter.
222
223* Add a key (e) in buffer mode to open the buffer in an editor. The buffer
224  contents is updated when the editor exits.
225
226* Add -e flag for new-session to set environment variables, like the same flag
227  for new-window.
228
229* Improve search match marking in copy mode. Two new options
230  copy-mode-match-style and copy-mode-current-match-style to set the style for
231  matches and for the current match respectively. Also a change so that if a
232  copy key is pressed with no selection, the current match (if any) is copied.
233
234* Sanitize session names like window names instead of forbidding invalid ones.
235
236* Check if the clear terminfo(5) capability starts with CSI and if so then
237  assume the terminal is VT100-like, rather than relying on the XT capability.
238
239* Improve command prompt tab completion and add menus both for strings and -t
240  and -s (when used without a trailing space). command-prompt has additional
241  flags for only completing a window (-W) and a target (-T), allowing C-b ' to
242  only show windows and C-b . only targets.
243
244* Change all the style options to string options so they can support formats.
245  Change pane-border-active-style to use this to change the border colour when
246  in a mode or with synchronize-panes on. This also implies a few minor changes
247  to existing behaviour:
248
249  - set-option -a with a style option automatically inserts a comma between the
250    old value and appended text.
251
252  - OSC 10 and 11 no longer set the window-style option, instead they store the
253    colour internally in the pane data and it is used as the default when the
254    option is evaluated.
255
256  - status-fg and -bg now override status-style instead of the option values
257    being changed.
258
259* Add extension terminfo(5) capabilities for margins and focus reporting.
260
261* Try $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/tmux.conf as well as ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf for
262  configuration file (the search paths are in TMUX_CONF in Makefile.am).
263
264* Remove the DSR 1337 iTerm2 extension and replace by the extended device
265  attributes sequence (CSI > q) supported by more terminals.
266
267* Add a -s flag to copy-mode to specify a different pane for the source
268  content. This means it is possible to view two places in a pane's history at
269  the same time in different panes, or view the history while still using the
270  pane. Pressing r refreshes the content from the source pane.
271
272* Add an argument to list-commands to show only a single command.
273
274* Change copy mode to make copy of the pane history so it does not need to
275  freeze the pane.
276
277* Restore pane_current_path format from portable tmux on OpenBSD.
278
279* Wait until the initial command sequence is done before sending a device
280  attributes request and other bits that prompt a reply from the terminal. This
281  means that stray replies are not left on the terminal if the command has
282  attached and then immediately detached and tmux will not be around to receive
283  them.
284
285* Add a -f filter argument to the list commands like choose-tree.
286
287* Move specific hooks for panes to pane options and windows for window options
288  rather than all hooks being session options. These hooks are now window options:
289
290  window-layout-changed
291  window-linked
292  window-pane-changed
293  window-renamed
294  window-unlinked
295
296  And these are now pane options:
297
298  pane-died
299  pane-exited
300  pane-focus-in
301  pane-focus-out
302  pane-mode-changed
303  pane-set-clipboard
304
305  Any existing configurations using these hooks on a session rather than
306  globally (that is, set-hook or set-option without -g) may need to be changed.
307
308* Show signal names when a process exits with remain-on-exit on platforms which
309  have a way to get them.
310
311* Start menu with top item selected if no mouse and use mode-style for the
312  selected item.
313
314* Add a copy-command option and change copy-pipe and friends to pipe to it if
315  used without arguments, allows all the default copy key bindings to be
316  changed to pipe with one option rather than needing to change each key
317  binding individually.
318
319* Tidy up the terminal detection and feature code and add named sets of
320  terminal features, each of which are defined in one place and map to a
321  builtin set of terminfo(5) capabilities. Features can be specified based on
322  TERM with a new terminal-features option or with the -T flag when running
323  tmux. tmux will also detect a few common terminals from the DA and DSR
324  responses.
325
326  This is intended to make it easier to configure tmux's use of terminfo(5)
327  even in the presence of outdated ncurses(3) or terminfo(5) databases or for
328  features which do not yet have a terminfo(5) entry. Instead of having to grok
329  terminfo(5) capability names and what they should be set to in the
330  terminal-overrides option, the user can hopefully just give tmux a feature
331  name and let it do the right thing.
332
333  The terminal-overrides option remains both for backwards compatibility and to
334  allow tweaks of individual capabilities.
335
336* Support mintty's application escape sequence (means tmux doesn't have to
337  delay to wait for Escape, so no need to reduce escape-time when using
338  mintty).
339
340* Change so main-pane-width and height can be given as a percentage.
341
342* Support for the iTerm2 synchronized updates feature (allows the terminal to
343  avoid unnecessary drawing while output is still in progress).
344
345* Make the mouse_word and mouse_line formats work in copy mode and enable the
346  default pane menu in copy mode.
347
348* Add a -T flag to resize-pane to trim lines below the cursor, moving lines out
349  of the history.
350
351* Add a way to mark environment variables as "hidden" so they can be used by
352  tmux (for example in formats) but are not set in the environment for new
353  panes. set-environment and show-environment have a new -h flag and there is a
354  new %hidden statement for the configuration file.
355
356* Change default position for display-menu -x and -y to centre rather than top
357  left.
358
359* Add support for per-client transient popups, similar to menus but which are
360  connected to an external command (like a pane). These are created with new
361  command display-popup.
362
363* Change double and triple click bindings so that only one is fired (previously
364  double click was fired on the way to triple click). Also add default double
365  and triple click bindings to copy the word or line under the cursor and
366  change the existing bindings in copy mode to do the same.
367
368* Add a default binding for button 2 to paste.
369
370* Add -d flag to run-shell to delay before running the command and allow it to
371  be used without a command so it just delays.
372
373* Add C-g to cancel command prompt with vi keys as well as emacs, and q in
374  command mode.
375
376* When the server socket is given with -S, create it with umask 177 instead of
377  117 (because it may not be in a safe directory like the default directory in
378  /tmp).
379
380* Add a copy-mode -H flag to hide the position marker in the top right.
381
382* Add number operators for formats (+, -, *, / and m),
383
384CHANGED FROM 3.1b TO 3.1c
385
386* Do not write after the end of the array and overwrite the stack when
387  colon-separated SGR sequences contain empty arguments.
388
389CHANGES FROM 3.1a TO 3.1b
390
391* Fix build on systems without sys/queue.h.
392
393* Fix crash when allow-rename is on and an empty name is set.
394
395CHANGES FROM 3.1 TO 3.1a
396
397* Do not close stdout prematurely in control mode since it is needed to print
398  exit messages. Prevents hanging when detaching with iTerm2.
399
400CHANGES FROM 3.0a TO 3.1
401
402* Only search the visible part of the history when marking (highlighting)
403  search terms. This is much faster than searching the whole history and solves
404  problems with large histories. The count of matches shown is now the visible
405  matches rather than all matches.
406
407* Search using regular expressions in copy mode. search-forward and
408  search-backward use regular expressions by default; the incremental versions
409  do not.
410
411* Turn off mouse mode 1003 as well as the rest when exiting.
412
413* Add selection_active format for when the selection is present but not moving
414  with the cursor.
415
416* Fix dragging with modifier keys, so binding keys such as C-MouseDrag1Pane and
417  C-MouseDragEnd1Pane now work.
418
419* Add -a to list-keys to also list keys without notes with -N.
420
421* Do not jump to next word end if already on a word end when selecting a word;
422  fixes select-word with single character words and vi(1) keys.
423
424* Fix top and bottom pane calculation with pane border status enabled.
425
426* Add support for adding a note to a key binding (with bind-key -N) and use
427  this to add descriptions to the default key bindings. A new -N flag to
428  list-keys shows key bindings with notes. Change the default ? binding to use
429  this to show a readable summary of keys. Also extend command-prompt to return
430  the name of the key pressed and add a default binding (/) to show the note
431  for the next key pressed.
432
433* Add support for the iTerm2 DSR 1337 sequence to get the terminal version.
434
435* Treat plausible but invalid keys (like C-BSpace) as literal like any other
436  unrecognised string passed to send-keys.
437
438* Detect iTerm2 and enable use of DECSLRM (much faster with horizontally split
439  windows).
440
441* Add -Z to default switch-client command in tree mode.
442
443* Add ~ to quoted characters for %%%.
444
445* Document client exit messages in the manual page.
446
447* Do not let read-only clients limit the size, unless all clients are
448  read-only.
449
450* Add a number of new formats to inspect what sessions and clients a window is
451  present or active in.
452
453* Change file reading and writing to go through the client if necessary. This
454  fixes commands like "tmux loadb /dev/fd/X". Also modify source-file to
455  support "-" for standard input, like load-buffer and save-buffer.
456
457* Add ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf to the default search path for configuration
458  files.
459
460* Bump the escape sequence timeout to five seconds to allow for longer
461  legitimate sequences.
462
463* Make a best effort to set xpixel and ypixel for each pane and add formats for
464  them.
465
466* Add push-default to status-left and status-right in status-format[0].
467
468* Do not clear search marks on cursor movement with vi(1) keys.
469
470* Add p format modifier for padding to width and allow multiple substitutions
471  in a single format.
472
473* Add -f for full size to join-pane (like split-window).
474
475* Do not use bright when emulating 256 colours on an 8 colour terminal because
476  it is also bold on some terminals.
477
478* Make select-pane -P set window-active-style also to match previous behaviour.
479
480* Do not truncate list-keys output.
481
482* Turn automatic-rename back on if the \033k rename escape sequence is used
483  with an empty name.
484
485* Add support for percentage sizes for resize-pane ("-x 10%"). Also change
486  split-window and join-pane -l to accept similar percentages and deprecate the
487  -p flag.
488
489* Add -F flag to send-keys to expand formats in search-backward and forward
490  copy mode commands and copy_cursor_word and copy_cursor_line formats for word
491  and line at cursor in copy mode. Use for default # and * binding with vi(1)
492  keys.
493
494* Add formats for word and line at cursor position in copy mode.
495
496* Add formats for cursor and selection position in copy mode.
497
498* Support all the forms of RGB colour strings in OSC sequences rather than
499  requiring two digits.
500
501* Limit lazy resize to panes in attached sessions only.
502
503* Add an option to set the key sent by backspace for those whose system uses ^H
504  rather than ^?.
505
506* Change new-session -A without a session name (that is, no -s option also) to
507  attach to the best existing session like attach-session rather than a new
508  one.
509
510* Add a "latest" window-size option which tries to size windows based on the
511  most recently used client. This is now the default.
512
513* Add simple support for OSC 7 (result is available in the pane_path format).
514
515* Add push-default and pop-default for styles which change the colours and
516  attributes used for #[default]. These are used in status-format to restore
517  the behaviour of window-status-style being the default for
518  window-status-format.
519
520* Add window_marked_flag.
521
522* Add cursor-down-and-cancel in copy mode.
523
524* Default to previous search string for search-forward and search-backward.
525
526* Add -Z flag to rotate-window, select-pane, swap-pane, switch-client to
527  preserve zoomed state.
528
529* Add -N to capture-pane to preserve trailing spaces.
530
531* Add reverse sorting in tree, client and buffer modes.
532
533CHANGES FROM 3.0 TO 3.0a
534
535* Do not require REG_STARTEND.
536
537* Respawn panes or windows correctly if default-command is set.
538
539* Add missing option for after-kill-pane hook.
540
541* Fix for crash with a format variable that doesn't exist.
542
543* Do not truncate list-keys output on some platforms.
544
545* Do not crash when restoring a layout with only one pane.
546
547CHANGES FROM 2.9 TO 3.0
548
549* Workaround invalid layout strings generated by older tmux versions and add
550  some additional sanity checks
551
552* xterm 348 now disables margins when resized, so send DECLRMM again after
553  resize.
554
555* Add support for the SD (scroll down) escape sequence.
556
557* Expand arguments to C and s format modifiers to match the m modifier.
558
559* Add support for underscore colours (Setulc capability must be added with
560  terminal-overrides as described in tmux(1)).
561
562* Add a "fill" style attribute for the fill colour of the drawing area (where
563  appropriate).
564
565* New -H flag to send-keys to send literal keys.
566
567* Format variables for pane mouse modes (mouse_utf8_flag and mouse_sgr_flag)
568  and for origin mode (origin_flag).
569
570* Add -F to refresh-client for flags for control mode clients, only one flag
571  (no-output) supported at the moment.
572
573* Add a few vi(1) keys for menus.
574
575* Add pane options, set with set-option -p and displayed with show-options -p.
576  Pane options inherit from window options (so every pane option is also
577  a window option). The pane style is now configured by setting window-style
578  and window-active-style in the pane options; select-pane -P and -g now change
579  the option but are no longer documented.
580
581* Do not document set-window-option and show-window-options. set-option -w and
582  show-options -w should be used instead.
583
584* Add a -A flag to show-options to show parent options as well (they are marked
585  with a *).
586
587* Resize panes lazily - do not resize unless they are in an attached, active
588  window.
589
590* Add regular expression support for the format search, match and substitute
591  modifiers and make them able to ignore case. find-window now accepts -r to
592  use regular expressions.
593
594* Do not use $TMUX to find the session because for windows in multiple sessions
595  it is wrong as often as it is right, and for windows in one session it is
596  pointless. Instead use TMUX_PANE if it is present.
597
598* Do not always resize the window back to its original size after applying a
599  layout, keep it at the layout size until it must be resized (for example when
600  attached and window-size is not manual).
601
602* Add new-session -X and attach-session -x to send SIGHUP to parent when
603  detaching (like detach-client -P).
604
605* Support for octal escapes in strings (such as \007) and improve list-keys
606  output so it parses correctly if copied into a configuration file.
607
608* INCOMPATIBLE: Add a new {} syntax to the configuration file. This is a string
609  similar to single quotes but also includes newlines and allows commands that
610  take other commands as string arguments to be expressed more clearly and
611  without additional escaping.
612
613  A literal { and } or a string containing { or } must now be escaped or
614  quoted, for example '{' and '}' instead of { or }, or 'X#{foo}' instead of
615  X#{foo}.
616
617* New <, >, <= and >= comparison operators for formats.
618
619* Improve escaping of special characters in list-keys output.
620
621* INCOMPATIBLE: tmux's configuration parsing has changed to use yacc(1). There
622  is one incompatible change: a \ on its own must be escaped or quoted as
623  either \\ or '\' (the latter works on older tmux versions).
624
625  Entirely the same parser is now used for parsing the configuration file
626  and for string commands. This means that constructs previously only
627  available in .tmux.conf, such as %if, can now be used in string commands
628  (for example, those given to if-shell - not commands invoked from the
629  shell, they are still parsed by the shell itself).
630
631* Add support for the overline attribute (SGR 53). The Smol capability is
632  needed in terminal-overrides.
633
634* Add the ability to create simple menus. Introduces new command
635  display-menu. Default menus are bound to MouseDown3 on the status line;
636  MouseDown3 or M-MouseDown3 on panes; MouseDown3 in tree, client and
637  buffer modes; and C-b < and >.
638
639* Allow panes to be empty (no command). They can be created either by piping to
640  split-window -I, or by passing an empty command ('') to split-window. Output
641  can be sent to an existing empty window with display-message -I.
642
643* Add keys to jump between matching brackets (emacs C-M-f and C-M-b, vi %).
644
645* Add a -e flag to new-window, split-window, respawn-window, respawn-pane to
646  pass environment variables into the newly created process.
647
648* Hooks are now stored in the options tree as array options, allowing them to
649  have multiple separate commands. set-hook and show-hooks remain but
650  set-option and show-options can now also be used (show-options will only show
651  hooks if given the -H flag). Hooks with multiple commands are run in index
652  order.
653
654* Automatically scroll if dragging to create a selection with the mouse and the
655  cursor reaches the top or bottom line.
656
657* Add -no-clear variants of copy-selection and copy-pipe which do not clear the
658  selection after copying. Make copy-pipe clear the selection by default to be
659  consistent with copy-selection.
660
661* Add an argument to copy commands to set the prefix for the buffer name, this
662  (for example) allows buffers for different sessions to be named separately.
663
664* Update session activity on focus event.
665
666* Pass target from source-file into the config file parser so formats in %if
667  and %endif have access to more useful variables.
668
669* Add the ability to infer an option type (server, session, window) from its
670  name to show-options (it was already present in set-option).
671
672CHANGES FROM 2.9 TO 2.9a
673
674* Fix bugs in select-pane and the main-horizontal and main-vertical layouts.
675
676CHANGES FROM 2.8 TO 2.9
677
678* Attempt to preserve horizontal cursor position as well as vertical with
679  reflow.
680
681* Rewrite main-vertical and horizontal and change layouts to better handle the
682  case where all panes won't fit into the window size, reduce problems with
683  pane border status lines and fix other bugs mostly found by Thomas Sattler.
684
685* Add format variables for the default formats in the various modes
686  (tree_mode_format and so on) and add a -a flag to display-message to list
687  variables with values.
688
689* Add a -v flag to display-message to show verbose messages as the format is
690  parsed, this allows formats to be debugged
691
692* Add support for HPA (\033[`).
693
694* Add support for origin mode (\033[?6h).
695
696* No longer clear history on RIS.
697
698* Extend the #[] style syntax and use that together with previous format
699  changes to allow the status line to be entirely configured with a single
700  option.
701
702  Now that it is possible to configure their content, enable the existing code
703  that lets the status line be multiple lines in height. The status option can
704  now take a value of 2, 3, 4 or 5 (as well as the previous on or off) to
705  configure more than one line. The new status-format array option configures
706  the format of each line, the default just references the existing status-*
707  options, although some of the more obscure status options may be eliminated
708  in time.
709
710  Additions to the #[] syntax are: "align" to specify alignment (left, centre,
711  right), "list" for the window list and "range" to configure ranges of text
712  for the mouse bindings.
713
714  The "align" keyword can also be used to specify alignment of entries in tree
715  mode and the pane status lines.
716
717* Add E: and T: format modifiers to expand a format twice (useful to expand the
718  value of an option).
719
720* The individual -fg, -bg and -attr options have been removed; they
721  were superseded by -style options in tmux 1.9.
722
723* Allow more than one mode to be opened in a pane. Modes are kept on a stack
724  and retrieved if the same mode is entered again. Exiting the active mode goes
725  back to the previous one.
726
727* When showing command output in copy mode, call it view mode instead (affects
728  pane_mode format).
729
730* Add -b to display-panes like run-shell.
731
732* Handle UTF-8 in word-separators option.
733
734* New "terminal" colour allowing options to use the terminal default colour
735  rather than inheriting the default from a parent option.
736
737* Do not move the cursor in copy mode when the mouse wheel is used.
738
739* Use the same working directory rules for jobs as new windows rather than
740  always starting in the user's home.
741
742* Allow panes to be one line or column in size.
743
744* Go to last line when goto-line number is out of range in copy mode.
745
746* Yank previously cut text if any with C-y in the command prompt, only use the
747  buffer if no text has been cut.
748
749* Add q: format modifier to quote shell special characters.
750
751* Add StatusLeft and StatusRight mouse locations (keys such as
752  MouseDown1StatusLeft) for the status-left and status-right areas of the
753  status line.
754
755* Add -Z to find-window.
756
757* Support for windows larger than the client. This adds two new options,
758  window-size and default-size, and a new command, resize-window. The
759  force-width and force-height options and the session_width and session_height
760  formats have been removed.
761
762  The new window-size option tells tmux how to work out the size of windows:
763  largest means it picks the size of the largest session, smallest the smallest
764  session (similar to the old behaviour) and manual means that it does not
765  automatically resize windows. aggressive-resize modifies the choice of
766  session for largest and smallest as it did before.
767
768  If a window is in a session attached to a client that is too small, only part
769  of the window is shown. tmux attempts to keep the cursor visible, so the part
770  of the window displayed is changed as the cursor moves (with a small delay,
771  to try and avoid excess redrawing when applications redraw status lines or
772  similar that are not currently visible).
773
774  Drawing windows which are larger than the client is not as efficient as those
775  which fit, particularly when the cursor moves, so it is recommended to avoid
776  using this on slow machines or networks (set window-size to smallest or
777  manual).
778
779  The resize-window command can be used to resize a window manually. If it is
780  used, the window-size option is automatically set to manual for the window
781  (undo this with "setw -u window-size"). resize-window works in a similar way
782  to resize-pane (-U -D -L -R -x -y flags) but also has -a and -A flags. -a
783  sets the window to the size of the smallest client (what it would be if
784  window-size was smallest) and -A the largest.
785
786  For the same behaviour as force-width or force-height, use resize-window -x
787  or -y.
788
789  If the global window-size option is set to manual, the default-size option is
790  used for new windows. If -x or -y is used with new-session, that sets the
791  default-size option for the new session.
792
793  The maximum size of a window is 10000x10000. But expect applications to
794  complain and higher memory use if making a window that big. The minimum size
795  is the size required for the current layout including borders.
796
797  The refresh-client command can be used to pan around a window, -U -D -L -R
798  moves up, down, left or right and -c returns to automatic cursor
799  tracking. The position is reset when the current window is changed.
800
801CHANGES FROM 2.7 TO 2.8
802
803* Make display-panes block the client until a pane is chosen or it
804  times out.
805
806* Clear history on RIS like most other terminals do.
807
808* Add an "Any" key to run a command if a key is pressed that is not
809  bound in the current key table.
810
811* Expand formats in load-buffer and save-buffer.
812
813* Add a rectangle_toggle format.
814
815* Add set-hook -R to run a hook immediately.
816
817* Add README.ja.
818
819* Add pane focus hooks.
820
821* Allow any punctuation as separator for s/x/y not only /.
822
823* Improve resizing with the mouse (fix resizing the wrong pane in some
824  layouts, and allow resizing multiple panes at the same time).
825
826* Allow , and } to be escaped in formats as #, and #}.
827
828* Add KRB5CCNAME to update-environment.
829
830* Change meaning of -c to display-message so the client is used if it
831  matches the session given to -t.
832
833* Fixes to : form of SGR.
834
835* Add x and X to choose-tree to kill sessions, windows or panes.
836
837CHANGES FROM 2.6 TO 2.7
838
839* Remove EVENT_* variables from environment on platforms where tmux uses them
840  so they do not pass on to panes.
841
842* Fixes for hooks at server exit.
843
844* Remove SGR 10 (was equivalent to SGR 0 but no other terminal seems to do
845  this).
846
847* Expand formats in window and session names.
848
849* Add -Z flag to choose-tree, choose-client, choose-buffer to automatically
850  zoom the pane when the mode is entered and unzoom when it exits, assuming the
851  pane is not already zoomed. This is now part of the default key bindings.
852
853* Add C-g to exit modes with emacs keys.
854
855* Add exit-empty option to exit server if no sessions (defaults to on).
856
857* Show if a filter is present in choose modes.
858
859* Add pipe-pane -I to to connect stdin of the child process.
860
861* Performance improvements for reflow.
862
863* Use RGB terminfo(5) capability to detect RGB colour terminals (the existing
864  Tc extension remains unchanged).
865
866* Support for ISO colon-separated SGR sequences.
867
868* Add select-layout -E to spread panes out evenly (bound to E key).
869
870* Support wide characters properly when reflowing.
871
872* Pass PWD to new panes as a hint to shells, as well as calling chdir().
873
874* Performance improvements for the various choose modes.
875
876* Only show first member of session groups in tree mode (-G flag to choose-tree
877  to show all).
878
879* Support %else in config files to match %if; from Brad Town in GitHub issue
880  1071.
881
882* Fix "kind" terminfo(5) capability to be S-Down not S-Up.
883
884* Add a box around the preview label in tree mode.
885
886* Show exit status and time in the remain-on-exit pane text; from Timo
887  Boettcher in GitHub issue 1103.
888
889* Correctly use pane-base-index in tree mode.
890
891* Change the allow-rename option default to off.
892
893* Support for xterm(1) title stack escape sequences (GitHub issue 1075 from
894  Brad Town).
895
896* Correctly remove padding cells to fix a UTF-8 display problem (GitHub issue
897  1090).
898
899CHANGES FROM 2.5 TO 2.6, 05 October 2017
900
901* Add select-pane -T to set pane title.
902
903* Fix memory leak when lines with BCE are removed from history.
904
905* Fix (again) the "prefer unattached" behaviour of attach-session.
906
907* Reorder how keys are checked to allow keys to be specified that have a
908  leading escape. GitHub issue 1048.
909
910* Support REP escape sequence (\033[b).
911
912* Run alert hooks based on options rather than always, and allow further bells
913  even if there is an existing bell.
914
915* Add -d flag to display-panes to override display-panes-time.
916
917* Add selection_present format when in copy mode (allows key bindings that do
918  something different if there is a selection).
919
920* Add pane_at_left, pane_at_right, pane_at_top and pane_at_bottom formats.
921
922* Make bell, activity and silence alerting more consistent by: removing the
923  bell-on-alert option; adding activity-action and silence-action options with
924  the same possible values as the existing bell-action; adding a "both" value
925  for the visual-bell, visual-activity and visual-silence options to trigger
926  both a bell and a message.
927
928* Add a pane_pipe format to show if pipe-pane is active.
929
930* Block signals between forking and resetting signal handlers so that the
931  libevent signal handler doesn't get called in the child and incorrectly write
932  into the signal pipe that it still shares with the parent. GitHub issue 1001.
933
934* Allow punctuation in pane_current_command.
935
936* Add -c for respawn-pane and respawn-window.
937
938* Wait for any remaining data to flush when a pane is closed while pipe-pane is
939  in use.
940
941* Fix working out current client with no target. GitHub issue 995.
942
943* Try to fallback to C.UTF-8 as well as en_US.UTF-8 when looking for a UTF-8
944  locale.
945
946* Add user-keys option for user-defined key escape sequences (mapped to User0
947  to User999 keys).
948
949* Add pane-set-clipboard hook.
950
951* FAQ file has moved out of repository to online.
952
953* Fix problem with high CPU usage when a client dies unexpectedly. GitHub issue
954  941.
955
956* Do a dance on OS X 10.10 and above to return tmux to the user namespace,
957  allowing access to the clipboard.
958
959* Do not allow escape sequences which expect a specific terminator (APC, DSC,
960  OSC) to wait for forever - use a small timeout. This reduces the chance of
961  the pane locking up completely when sent garbage (cat /dev/random or
962  similar).
963
964* Support SIGUSR2 to toggle logging on a running server, also generate the
965  "out" log file with -vv not -vvvv.
966
967* Make set-clipboard a three state option: on (tmux both sends to outside
968  terminal and accepts from applications inside); external (tmux sends outside
969  but does not accept inside); and off.
970
971* Fix OSC 4 palette setting for bright foreground colours. GitHub issue 954.
972
973* Use setrgbf and setrgbb terminfo(5) capabilities to set RGB colours, if they
974  are available. (Tc is still supported as well.)
975
976* Fix redrawing panes when they are resized several times but end up with the
977  size unchanged (for example, splitw/resizep -Z/breakp).
978
979* Major rewrite of choose mode. Now includes preview, sorting, searching and
980  tagging; commands that can be executed directly from the mode (for example,
981  to delete one or more buffers); and filtering in tree mode.
982
983* choose-window and choose-session are now aliases of choose-tree (in the
984  command-alias option).
985
986* Support OSC 10 and OSC 11 to set foreground and background colours.
987
988* Check the U8 capability to determine whether to use UTF-8 line drawing
989  characters for ACS.
990
991* Some missing notifications for layout changes.
992
993* Control mode clients now do not affect session sizes until they issue
994  refresh-client -C. new-session -x and -y works with control clients even if
995  the session is not detached.
996
997* All new sessions that are unattached (whether with -d or started with no
998  terminal) are now created with size 80 x 24. Whether the status line is on or
999  off does not affect the size of new sessions until they are attached.
1000
1001* Expand formats in option names and add -F flag to expand them in option values.
1002
1003* Remember the search string for a pane even if copy mode is exited and entered
1004  again.
1005
1006* Some further BCE fixes (scroll up, reverse index).
1007
1008* Improvements to how terminals are cleared (entirely or partially).
1009
1010CHANGES FROM 2.4 TO 2.5, 09 May 2017
1011
1012* Reset updated flag when restarting #() command so that new output is properly
1013  recognised. GitHub issue 922.
1014
1015* Fix ECH with a background colour.
1016
1017* Do not rely on the terminal not moving the cursor after DL or EL.
1018
1019* Fix send-keys and send-prefix in copy-mode (so C-b C-b works). GitHub issue
1020  905.
1021
1022* Set the current pane for rotate-window so it works in command sequences.
1023
1024* Add pane_mode format.
1025
1026* Differentiate M-Up from Escape+Up when possible (that is, in terminals with
1027  xterm(1) style function keys). GitHub issue 907.
1028
1029* Add session_stack and window_stack_index formats.
1030
1031* Some new control mode notifications and corresponding hooks:
1032  pane-mode-changed, window-pane-changed, client-session-changed,
1033  session-window-changed.
1034
1035* Format pane_search_string for last search term while in copy mode (useful
1036  with command-prompt -I).
1037
1038* Fix a problem with high CPU usage and multiple clients with #(). GitHub issue
1039  889.
1040
1041* Fix UTF-8 combining characters in column 0.
1042
1043* Fix reference counting so that panes are properly destroyed and their
1044  processes killed.
1045
1046* Clamp SU (CSI S) parameter to work around a bug in Konsole.
1047
1048* Tweak line wrapping in full width panes to play more nicely with terminal
1049  copy and paste.
1050
1051* Fix when we emit SGR 0 in capture-pane -e.
1052
1053* Do not change TERM until after config file parsing has finished, so that
1054  commands run inside the config file can use it to make decisions (typically
1055  about default-terminal).
1056
1057* Make the initial client wait until config file parsing has finished to avoid
1058  racing with commands.
1059
1060* Fix core when if-shell fails.
1061
1062* Only use ED to clear screen if the pane is at the bottom.
1063
1064* Fix multibyte UTF-8 output.
1065
1066* Code improvements around target (-t) resolution.
1067
1068* Change how the default target (for commands without -t) is managed across
1069  command sequences: now it is set up at the start and commands are required
1070  to update it if needed. Fixes binding command sequences to mouse keys.
1071
1072* Make if-shell from the config file work correctly.
1073
1074* Change to always check the root key table if no binding is found in the
1075  current table (prefix table or copy-mode table or whatever). This means that
1076  root key bindings will take effect even in copy mode, if not overridden by a
1077  copy mode key binding.
1078
1079* Fix so that the history file works again.
1080
1081* Run config file without a client rather than using the first client, restores
1082  previous behaviour.
1083
1084* If a #() command doesn't exit, continue to read from it and use its last full
1085  line of output.
1086
1087* Handle slow terminals and fast output better: when the amount of data
1088  outstanding gets too large, discard output until it is drained and we are
1089  able to do a full redraw. Prevents tmux sitting on a huge buffer that the
1090  terminal will take forever to consume.
1091
1092* Do not redraw a client unless we realistically think it can accept the data -
1093  defer redraws until the client has nothing else waiting to write.
1094
1095CHANGES FROM 2.3 TO 2.4, 20 April 2017
1096
1097Incompatible Changes
1098====================
1099
1100* Key tables have undergone major changes. Mode key tables are no longer
1101  separate from the main key tables. All mode key tables have been removed,
1102  together with the -t flag to bind-key and unbind-key.
1103
1104  The emacs-edit, vi-edit, emacs-choose and vi-choose tables have been replaced
1105  by fixed key bindings in the command prompt and choose modes. The mode-keys
1106  and status-keys options remain.
1107
1108  The emacs-copy and vi-copy tables have been replaced by the copy-mode and
1109  copy-mode-vi tables. Commands are sent using the -X and -N flags to
1110  send-keys. So the following:
1111
1112    bind -temacs-copy C-Up scroll-up
1113    bind -temacs-copy -R5 WheelUpPane scroll-up
1114
1115  Becomes:
1116
1117    bind -Tcopy-mode C-Up send -X scroll-up
1118    bind -Tcopy-mode WheelUpPane send -N5 -X scroll-up
1119
1120  These changes allows the full command parser (including command sequences) and
1121  command set to be used - for example, the normal command prompt with editing
1122  and history is now used for searching, jumping, and so on instead of a custom
1123  one. The default C-r binding is now:
1124
1125    bind -Tcopy-mode C-r command-prompt -i -p'search up' "send -X search-backward-incremental '%%'"
1126
1127  There are also some new commmands available with send -X, such as
1128  copy-pipe-and-cancel.
1129* set-remain-on-exit has gone -- can be achieved with hooks instead.
1130* Hooks: before hooks have been removed and only a selection of commands now
1131  have after hooks (they are no longer automatic). Additional hooks have been
1132  added.
1133* The xterm-keys option now defaults to on.
1134
1135Normal Changes
1136==============
1137
1138* Support for mouse double and triple clicks.
1139* BCE (Background Colour Erase) is now supported.
1140* All occurrences of a search string in copy mode are now highlighted;
1141  additionally, the number of search results is displayed. The highlighting
1142  updates interactively with the default emacs key bindings (incremental
1143  search).
1144* source-file now understands glob patterns.
1145* Formats now have simple comparisons:
1146
1147    #{==:a,b}
1148    #{!=:a,b}
1149
1150* There are the following new formats:
1151
1152  - #{version} -- the tmux server version;
1153  - #{client_termtype} -- the terminal type of the client;
1154  - #{client_name} -- the name of a client;
1155  - #{client_written} -- the number of bytes written to the client.
1156
1157* The configuration file now accepts %if/%endif conditional blocks which are
1158  processed when it is parsed; the argument is a format string (useful with the
1159  new format comparison options).
1160* detach-client now has -E to execute a command replacing the client instead of
1161  exiting.
1162* Add support for custom command aliases, this is an array option which
1163  contains items of the form "alias=command". This is consulted when an
1164  unknown command is parsed.
1165* break-pane now has -n to specify the new window name.
1166* OSC 52 support has been added for programs inside tmux to set a tmux buffer.
1167* The mouse "all event" mode (1003) is now supported.
1168* Palette setting is now possible (OSC 4 and 104).
1169* Strikethrough support (a recent terminfo is required).
1170* Grouped sessions can now be named (new -t).
1171* terminal-overrides and update-environment are now array options (the previous
1172  set -ag syntax should work without change).
1173* There have been substantial performance improvements.

1184
1185* New option 'pane-border-status' to add text in the pane borders.
1186* Support for hooks on commands: 'after' and 'before' hooks.
1187* 'source-file' understands '-q' to suppress errors for nonexistent files.
1188* Lots of UTF8 improvements, especially on MacOS.
1189* 'window-status-separator' understands #[] expansions.
1190* 'split-window' understands '-f' for performing a full-width split.
1191* Allow report count to be specified when using 'bind-key -R'.
1192* 'set -a' for appending to user options (@foo) is now supported.
1193* 'display-panes' can now accept a command to run, rather than always
1194  selecting the pane.
1195
1196CHANGES FROM 2.1 TO 2.2, 10 April 2016
1197
1198Incompatible Changes
1199====================
1200
1201* The format strings which referenced time have been removed.  Instead:
1202
1203  #{t:window_activity}
1204
1205can be used.
1206
1207* Support for TMPDIR has been removed.  Use TMUX_TMPDIR instead.
1208* UTF8 detection now happens automatically if the client supports it, hence
1209  the:
1210
1211  mouse-utf8
1212  utf8
1213
1214  options has been removed.
1215* The:
1216
1217  mouse_utf8_flag
1218
1219  format string has been removed.
1220* The -I option to show-messages has been removed.  See:
1221
1222  #{t:start_time}
1223
1224  format option instead.
1225
1226Normal Changes
1227==============
1228
1229* Panes are unzoomed with selectp -LRUD
1230* New formats added:
1231
1232  #{scroll_position}
1233  #{socket_path}
1234  #{=10:...} -- limit to N characters (from the start)
1235  #{=-10:...} -- limit to N characters (from the end)
1236  #{t:...} -- used to format time-based formats
1237  #{b:...} -- used to ascertain basename from string
1238  #{d:...} -- used to ascertain dirname from string
1239  #{s:...} -- used to perform substitutions on a string
1240
1241* Job output is run via the format system, so formats work again
1242* If display-time is set to 0, then the indicators wait for a key to be
1243  pressed.
1244* list-keys and list-commands can be run without starting the tmux server.
1245* kill-session learns -C to clear all alerts in all windows of the session.
1246* Support for hooks (internal for now), but hooks for the following have been
1247  implemented:
1248
1249  alert-bell
1250  alert-silence
1251  alert-activity
1252  client-attached
1253  client-detached
1254  client-resized
1255  pane-died
1256  pane-exited
1257
1258* RGB (24bit) colour support.  The 'Tc' flag must be set in the external TERM
1259  entry (using terminal-overrides or a custom terminfo entry).
1260
1261CHANGES FROM 2.0 TO 2.1, 18 October 2015
1262
1263Incompatible Changes
1264====================
1265
1266* Mouse-mode has been rewritten.  There's now no longer options for:
1267	- mouse-resize-pane
1268	- mouse-select-pane
1269	- mouse-select-window
1270	- mode-mouse
1271
1272  Instead there is just one option:  'mouse' which turns on mouse support
1273  entirely.
1274* 'default-terminal' is now a session option.  Furthermore, if this is set
1275  to 'screen-*' then emulate what screen does.  If italics are wanted, this
1276  can be set to 'tmux' but this is still new and not necessarily supported
1277  on all platforms with older ncurses installs.
1278* The c0-* options for rate-limiting have been removed.  Instead, a backoff
1279  approach is used.
1280
1281Normal Changes
1282==============
1283
1284* New formats:
1285	- session_activity
1286	- window_linked
1287	- window_activity_format
1288	- session_alerts
1289	- session_last_attached
1290	- client_pid
1291	- pid
1292* 'copy-selection', 'append-selection', 'start-named-buffer' now understand
1293  an '-x' flag to prevent it exiting copying mode.
1294* 'select-pane' now understands '-P' to set window/pane background colours.
1295* 'renumber-windows' now understands windows which are unlinked.
1296* 'bind' now understands multiple key tables.  Allows for key-chaining.
1297* 'select-layout' understands '-o' to undo the last layout change.
1298* The environment is updated when switching sessions as well as attaching.
1299* 'select-pane' now understands '-M' for marking a pane.  This marked pane
1300  can then be used with commands which understand src-pane specifiers
1301  automatically.
1302* If a session/window target is prefixed with '=' then only an exact match
1303  is considered.
1304* 'move-window' understands '-a'.
1305* 'update-environment' understands '-E' when attach-session is used on an
1306  already attached client.
1307* 'show-environment' understands '-s' to output Bourne-compatible commands.
1308* New option: 'history-file' to save/restore command prompt history.
1309* Copy mode is exited if the history is cleared whilst in copy-mode.
1310* 'copy-mode' learned '-e' to exit copy-mode when scrolling to end.
1311
1312CHANGES FROM 1.9a TO 2.0, 06 March 2015
1313
1314Incompatible Changes
1315====================
1316
1317* The choose-list command has been removed.
1318* 'terminal-overrides' is now a server option, not a session option.
1319* 'message-limit' is now a server option, not a session option.
1320* 'monitor-content' option has been removed.
1321* 'pane_start_path' option has been removed.
1322* The "info" mechanism which used to (for some commands) provide feedback
1323  has been removed, and like other commands, they now produce nothing on
1324  success.
1325
1326Normal Changes
1327==============
1328
1329* tmux can now write an entry to utmp if the library 'utempter' is present
1330  at compile time.
1331* set-buffer learned append mode (-a), and a corresponding
1332  'append-selection' command has been added to copy-mode.
1333* choose-mode now has the following commands which can be bound:
1334	- start-of-list
1335	- end-of-list
1336	- top-line
1337	- bottom-line
1338
1339* choose-buffer now understands UTF-8.
1340* Pane navigation has changed:
1341	- The old way of always using the top or left if the choice is ambiguous.
1342	- The new way of remembering the last used pane is annoying if the
1343	  layout is balanced and the leftmost is obvious to the user (because
1344	  clearly if we go right from the top-left in a tiled set of four we want
1345	  to end up in top-right, even if we were last using the bottom-right).
1346
1347      So instead, use a combination of both: if there is only one possible
1348      pane alongside the current pane, move to it, otherwise choose the most
1349      recently used of the choice.
1350* 'set-buffer' can now be told to give names to buffers.
1351* The 'new-session', 'new-window', 'split-window', and 'respawn-pane' commands
1352  now understand multiple arguments and handle quoting problems correctly.
1353* 'capture-pane' understands '-S-' to mean the start of the pane, and '-E-' to
1354  mean the end of the pane.
1355* Support for function keys beyond F12 has changed.  The following explains:
1356	- F13-F24 are S-F1 to S-F12
1357	- F25-F36 are C-F1 to C-F12
1358	- F37-F48 are C-S-F1 to C-S-F12
1359	- F49-F60 are M-F1 to M-F12
1360	- F61-F63 are M-S-F1 to M-S-F3
1361
1362 Therefore, F13 becomes a binding of S-F1, etc.
1363* Support using pane id as part of session or window specifier (so % means
1364  session-of-%1 or window-of-%1) and window id as part of session
1365  (so @1 means session-of-@1).
1366* 'copy-pipe' command now understands formats via -F
1367* 'if-shell'  command now understands formats via -F
1368* 'split-window' and 'join-window' understand -b to create the pane to the left
1369  or above the target pane.
1370
1371CHANGES FROM 1.9 TO 1.9a, 22 February 2014
1372
1373NOTE: This is a bug-fix release to address some important bugs which just
1374missed the 1.9 deadline, but were found afterwards.
1375
1376Normal Changes
1377==============
1378
1379* Fix crash due to uninitialized lastwp member of layout_cell
1380* Fix -fg/-bg/-style with 256 colour terminals.
1381
1382CHANGES FROM 1.8 TO 1.9, 20 February 2014
1383
1384NOTE:  This release has bumped the tmux protocol version.  It is therefore
1385advised that the prior tmux server is restarted when this version of tmux is
1386installed, to avoid protocol mismatch errors for newer clients trying to
1387talk to an older running tmux server.
1388
1389Incompatible Changes
1390====================
1391
1392* 88 colour support has been removed.
1393* 'default-path' has been removed.  The new-window command accepts '-c' to
1394  cater for this.  The previous value of "." can be replaced with: 'neww -c
1395  $PWD', the previous value of '' which meant current path of the pane can
1396  be specified as:  'neww -c "#{pane_current_path}"'
1397
1398Deprecated Changes
1399==================
1400
1401* The single format specifiers:  #A -> #Z (where defined) have been
1402  deprecated and replaced with longer-named equivalents, as listed in the
1403  FORMATS section of the tmux manpage.
1404* The various foo-{fg,bg,attr} commands have been deprecated and replaced
1405  with equivalent foo-style option instead.  Currently this is still
1406  backwards-compatible, but will be removed over time.
1407
1408Normal Changes
1409==============
1410
1411* A new environment variable TMUX_TMPDIR is now honoured, allowing the
1412  socket directory to be set outside of TMPDIR (/tmp/ if not set).
1413* If -s not given to swap-pane the current pane is assumed.
1414* A #{pane_synchronized} format specifier has been added to be a conditional
1415  format if a pane is in a synchronised mode (c.f. synchronize-panes)
1416* Tmux now runs under Cygwin natively.
1417* Formats can now be nested within each other and expanded accordingly.
1418* Added 'automatic-rename-format' option to allow the automatic rename
1419  mechanism to use something other than the default of
1420  #{pane_current_command}.
1421* new-session learnt '-c' to specify the starting directory for that session
1422  and all subsequent windows therein.
1423* The session name is now shown in the message printed to the terminal when
1424  a session is detached.
1425* Lots more format specifiers have been added.
1426* Server race conditions have been fixed; in particular commands are not run
1427  until after the configuration file is read completely.
1428* Case insensitive searching in tmux's copy-mode is now possible.
1429* attach-session and switch-client learnt the '-t' option to accept a window
1430  and/or a pane to use.
1431* Copy-mode is only exited if no selection is in progress.
1432* Paste key in copy-mode is now possible to enter text from the clipboard.
1433* status-interval set to '0' now works as intended.
1434* tmux now supports 256 colours running under fbterm.
1435* Many bug fixes!

1447* Add halfpage up/down bindings to copy mode.
1448* Session choosing fixed to work with unattached sessions.
1449* New window options window-status-last-{attr,bg,fg} to denote the last
1450  window which was active.
1451* Scrolling in copy-mode now scrolls the region without moving the mouse
1452  cursor.
1453* run-shell learnt '-t' to specify the pane to use when displaying output.
1454* Support for middle-click pasting.
1455* choose-tree learns '-u' to start uncollapsed.
1456* select-window learnt '-T' to toggle to the last window if it's already
1457  current.
1458* New session option 'assume-paste-time' for pasting text versus key-binding
1459  actions.
1460* choose-* commands now work outside of an attached client.
1461* Aliases are now shown for list-commands command.
1462* Status learns about formats.
1463* Free-form options can be set with set-option if prepended with an '@'
1464  sign.
1465* capture-pane learnt '-p' to send to stdout, and '-e' for capturing escape
1466  sequences, and '-a' to capture the alternate screen, and '-P' to dump
1467  pending output.
1468* Many new formats added (client_session, client_last_session, etc.)
1469* Control mode, which is a way for a client to send tmux commands.
1470  Currently more useful to users of iterm2.
1471* resize-pane learnt '-x' and '-y' for absolute pane sizing.
1472* Config file loading now reports errors from all files which are loaded via
1473  the 'source-file' command.
1474* 'copy-pipe' mode command to copy selection and pipe the selection to a
1475  command.
1476* Panes can now emit focus notifications for certain applications
1477  which use those.
1478* run-shell and if-shell now accept formats.
1479* resize-pane learnt '-Z' for zooming a pane temporarily.
1480* new-session learnt '-A' to make it behave like attach-session.
1481* set-option learnt '-o' to prevent setting an option which is already set.
1482* capture-pane and show-options learns '-q' to silence errors.
1483* New command 'wait-for' which blocks a client until woken up again.
1484* Resizing panes will now reflow the text inside them.
1485* Lots and lots of bug fixes, fixing memory-leaks, etc.
1486* Various manpage improvements.
1487
1488CHANGES FROM 1.6 TO 1.7, 13 October 2012
1489
1490* tmux configuration files now support line-continuation with a "\" at the
1491  end of a line.
1492* New option status-position to move the status line to the top or bottom of
1493  the screen.
1494* Enforce history-limit option when clearing the screen.
1495* Give each window a unique id, like panes but prefixed with @.
1496* Add pane id to each pane in layout description (while still accepting
1497  the old form).
1498* Provide defined ways to set the various default-path possibilities: ~
1499  for home directory, . for server start directory, - for session start
1500  directory and empty for the pane's working directory (the default). All
1501  can also be used as part of a relative path (eg -/foo). Also provide -c
1502  flags to neww and splitw to override default-path setting.
1503* Add -l flag to send-keys to send input literally (without translating
1504  key names).
1505* Allow a single option to be specified to show-options to show just that
1506  option.
1507* New command "move-pane" (like join-pane but allows the same window).
1508* join-pane and move-pane commands learn "-b" option to place the pane to
1509  the left or above.
1510* Support for bracketed-paste mode.
1511* Allow send-keys command to accept hex values.
1512* Add locking around "start-server" to avoid race-conditions.
1513* break-pane learns -P/-F arguments for display formatting.
1514* set-option learns "-q" to make it quiet, and not print out anything.
1515* copy mode learns "wrap-search" option.
1516* Add a simple form of output rate limiting by counting the number of
1517  certain C0 sequences (linefeeds, backspaces, carriage returns) and if it
1518  exceeds a threshold (current default 250/millisecond), start to redraw
1519  the pane every 100 milliseconds instead of making each change as it
1520  comes. Two configuration options - c0-change-trigger and
1521  c0-change-interval.
1522* find-window learns new flags:  "-C", "-N", "-T" to match against either or
1523  all of a window's content, name, or title.  Defaults to all three options
1524  if none specified.
1525* find-window automatically selects the appropriate pane for the found
1526  matches.
1527* show-environment can now accept one option to show that environment value.
1528* Exit mouse mode when end-of-screen reached when scrolling with the mouse
1529  wheel.
1530* select-layout learns -u and -U for layout history stacks.
1531* kill-window, detach-client, kill-session all  learn "-a" option for
1532  killing all but the current thing specified.
1533* move-window learns "-r" option to renumber window sequentially in a
1534  session.
1535* New session option "renumber-windows" to automatically renumber windows in
1536  a session when a window is closed.  (see "move-window -r").
1537* Only enter copy-mode on scroll up.
1538* choose-* and list-* commands all use "-F" for format specifiers.
1539* When spawning external commands, the value from the "default-shell" option
1540  is now used, rather than assuming /bin/sh.
1541* New choose-tree command to render window/sessions as a tree for selection.
1542* display-message learns new format options.
1543* For linked-windows across sessions, all flags for that window are now
1544  cleared across sessions.
1545* Lots and lots of bug fixes, fixing memory-leaks, etc.
1546* Various manpage improvements.
1547
1548CHANGES FROM 1.5 TO 1.6, 23 January 2012
1549
1550* Extend the mode-mouse option to add a third choice which means the mouse
1551  does not enter copy mode.
1552* Add a -r flag to switch-client to toggle the client read-only flag.
1553* Add pane-base-index option.
1554* Support \ for line continuation in the configuration file.
1555* Framework for more powerful formatting of command output and use it for
1556  list-{panes,windows,sessions}. This allows more descriptive replacements
1557  (such as #{session_name}) and conditionals.
1558* Mark dead panes with some text saying they are dead.
1559* Reject $SHELL if it is not a full path.
1560* Add -S option to refresh-client to redraw status line.
1561* Add an else clause for if-shell.
1562* Try to resolve relative paths for loadb and saveb (first, using client
1563  working directory, if any, then default-path or session working directory).
1564* Support for \e[3J to clear the history and send the corresponding
1565  terminfo code (E3) before locking.
1566* When in copy mode, make repeat count indicate buffer to replace, if used.
1567* Add screen*:XT to terminal-overrides for tmux-in-tmux.
1568* Status-line message attributes added.
1569* Move word-separators to be a session rather than window option.
1570* Change the way the working directory for new processes is discovered. If
1571  default-path isn't empty, it is used. Otherwise, if a new window is created
1572  from the command-line, the working directory of the client is used. If not,
1573  platform specific code is used to retrieve the current working directory
1574  of the process in the active pane. If that fails, the directory where the
1575  session was created is used, instead.
1576* Do not change the current pane if both mouse-select-{pane,window} are
1577  enabled.
1578* Add \033[s and \033[u to save and restore cursor position.
1579* Allow $HOME to be used as default-path.
1580* Add CNL and CPL escape sequences.
1581* Calculate last position correctly for UTF-8 wide characters.
1582* Add an option allow-rename to disable the window rename escape sequence.
1583* Attributes for each type of status-line alert (ie bell, content and
1584  activity) added. Therefore, remove the superfluous options
1585  window-status-alert-{attr,bg,fg}.
1586* Add a -R flag to send-keys to reset the terminal.
1587* Add strings to allow the aixterm bright colours to be used when
1588  configuring colours.
1589* Drop the ability to have a list of keys in the prefix in favour of two
1590  separate options, prefix and prefix2.
1591* Flag -2 added to send-prefix to send the secondary prefix key.
1592* Show pane size in top right of display panes mode.
1593* Some memory leaks plugged.
1594* More command-prompt editing improvements.
1595* Various manpage improvements.
1596* More Vi mode improvements.
1597
1598CHANGES FROM 1.4 TO 1.5, 09 July 2011
1599
1600* Support xterm mouse modes 1002 and 1003.
1601* Change from a per-session stack of buffers to one global stack. This renders
1602  copy-buffer useless and makes buffer-limit now a server option.
1603* Fix most-recently-used choice by avoiding reset the activity timer for
1604  unattached sessions every second.
1605* Add a -P option to new-window and split-window to print the new window or
1606  pane index in target form (useful to pass it into other commands).
1607* Handle a # at the end of a replacement string (such as status-left)
1608  correctly.
1609* Support for UTF-8 mouse input (\033[1005h) which was added in xterm 262.
1610  If the new mouse-utf8 option is on, UTF-8 mouse input is enabled for all
1611  UTF-8 terminals. The option defaults to on if LANG etc are set in the same
1612  manner as the utf8 option.
1613* Support for HP-UX.
1614* Accept colours of the hex form #ffffff and translate to the nearest from the
1615  xterm(1) 256-colour set.
1616* Clear the non-blocking IO flag (O_NONBLOCK) on the stdio file descriptors
1617  before closing them (fixes things like "tmux ls && cat").
1618* Use TMPDIR if set.
1619* Fix next and previous session functions to actually work.
1620* Support -x and -y for new-session to specify the initial size of the window
1621  if created detached with -d.
1622* Make bind-key accept characters with the top-bit-set and print them as octal.
1623* Set $TMUX without the session when background jobs are run.
1624* Simplify the way jobs work and drop the persist type, so all jobs are
1625  fire-and-forget.
1626* Accept tcgetattr/tcsetattr(3) failure, fixes problems with fatal() if the
1627  terminal disappears while locked.
1628* Add a -P option to detach to HUP the client's parent process (usually causing
1629  it to exit as well).
1630* Support passing through escape sequences to the underlying terminal by using
1631  DCS with a "tmux;" prefix.
1632* Prevent tiled producing a corrupt layout when only one column is needed.
1633* Give each pane created in a tmux server a unique id (starting from 0), put it
1634  in the TMUX_PANE environment variable and accept it as a target.
1635* Allow a start and end line to be specified for capture-pane which may be
1636  negative to capture part of the history.
1637* Add -a and -s options to lsp to list all panes in the server or session
1638  respectively. Likewise add -s to lsw.
1639* Change -t on display-message to be target-pane for the #[A-Z] replacements
1640  and add -c as target-client.
1641* The attach-session command now prefers the most recently used unattached
1642  session.
1643* Add -s option to detach-client to detach all clients attached to a session.
1644* Add -t to list-clients.
1645* Change window with mouse wheel over status line if mouse-select-window is on.
1646* When mode-mouse is on, automatically enter copy mode when the mouse is
1647  dragged or the mouse wheel is used. Also exit copy mode when the mouse wheel
1648  is scrolled off the bottom.
1649* Provide #h character pair for short hostname (no domain).
1650* Don't use strnvis(3) for the title as it breaks UTF-8.
1651* Use the tsl and fsl terminfo(5) capabilities to update terminal title and
1652  automatically fill them in on terminals with the XT capability (which means
1653  their title setting is xterm-compatible).
1654* Add a new option, mouse-resize-pane. When on, panes may be resized by
1655  dragging their borders.
1656* Fix crash by resetting last pane on {break,swap}-pane across windows.
1657* Add three new copy-mode commands - select-line, copy-line, copy-end-of-line.
1658* Support setting the xterm clipboard when copying from copy mode using the
1659  xterm escape sequence for the purpose (if xterm is configured to allow it).
1660* Support xterm(1) cursor colour change sequences through terminfo(5) Cc
1661  (set) and Cr (reset) extensions.
1662* Support DECSCUSR sequence to set the cursor style with two new terminfo(5)
1663  extensions, Cs and Csr.
1664* Make the command-prompt custom prompts recognize the status-left option
1665  character pairs.
1666* Add a respawn-pane command.
1667* Add a couple of extra xterm-style keys that gnome terminal provides.
1668* Allow the initial context on prompts to be set with the new -I option to
1669  command-prompt. Include the current window and session name in the prompt
1670  when renaming and add a new key binding ($) for rename session.
1671* Option bell-on-alert added to trigger the terminal bell when there is an
1672  alert.
1673* Change the list-keys format so that it shows the keys using actual tmux
1674  commands which should be able to be directly copied into the config file.
1675* Show full targets for lsp/lsw -a.
1676* Make confirm-before prompt customizable with -p option like command-prompt
1677  and add the character pairs #W and #P to the default kill-{pane,window}
1678  prompts.
1679* Avoid sending data to suspended/locked clients.
1680* Small memory leaks in error paths plugged.
1681* Vi mode improvements.
1682
1683CHANGES FROM 1.3 TO 1.4, 27 December 2010
1684
1685* Window bell reporting fixed.
1686* Show which pane is active in the list-panes output.
1687* Backoff reworked.
1688* Prevent the server from dying when switching into copy mode when already
1689  in a different mode.
1690* Reset running jobs when the status line is enabled or disabled.
1691* Simplify xterm modifier detection.
1692* Avoid crashing in copy mode if the screen size is too small for the
1693  indicator.
1694* Flags -n and -p added to switch-client.
1695* Use UTF-8 line drawing characters on UTF-8 terminals, thus fixing some
1696  terminals (eg putty) which disable the vt100 ACS mode switching sequences
1697  in UTF-8 mode. On terminals without ACS, use ASCII equivalents.
1698* New server option exit-unattached added.
1699* New session option destroy-unattached added.
1700* Fall back on normal session choice method if $TMUX exists but is invalid
1701  rather than rejecting.
1702* Mark repeating keys with "(repeat)" in the key list.
1703* When removing a pane, don't change the active pane unless the active pane
1704  is actually the one being removed.
1705* New command last-pane added.
1706* AIX fixes.
1707* Flag -a added to unbind-key.
1708* Add XAUTHORITY to update-environment.
1709* More info regarding window and pane flags is now shown in list-*.
1710* If VISUAL or EDITOR contains "vi" configure mode-keys and status-key to vi.
1711* New window option monitor-silence and session option visual-silence added.
1712* In the built-in layouts distribute the panes more evenly.
1713* Set the default value of main-pane-width to 80 instead of 81.
1714* Command-line flag -V added.
1715* Instead of keeping a per-client prompt history make it global.
1716* Fix rectangle copy to behave like emacs (the cursor is not part of the
1717  selection on the right edge but on the left it is).
1718* Flag -l added to switch-client.
1719* Retrieve environment variables from the global environment rather than
1720  getenv(3), thus allowing them to be updated during the configuration file.
1721* New window options other-pane-{height,width} added.
1722* More minor bugs fixed and manpage improvements.
1723
1724CHANGES FROM 1.2 TO 1.3, 18 July 2010
1725
1726* New input parser.
1727* Flags to move through panes -UDLR added to select-pane.
1728* Commands up-pane, and down-pane removed, since equivalent behaviour is now
1729  available through the target flag (-t:+ and -t:-).
1730* Jump-forward/backward in copy move (based on vi's F, and f commands).
1731* Make paste-buffer accept a pane as a target.
1732* Flag -a added to new-window to insert a window after an existing one, moving
1733  windows up if necessary.
1734* Merge more mode into copy mode.
1735* Run job commands explicitly in the global environment (which can be modified
1736  with setenv -g), rather than with the environment tmux started with.
1737* Use the machine's hostname as the default title, instead of an empty string.
1738* Prevent double free if the window option remain-on-exit is set.
1739* Key string conversions rewritten.
1740* Mark zombie windows as dead in the choose-window list.
1741* Tiled layout added.
1742* Signal handling reworked.
1743* Reset SIGCHLD after fork to fix problems with some shells.
1744* Select-prompt command removed. Therefore, bound ' to command-prompt -p index
1745  "select-window -t:%%" by default.
1746* Catch SIGHUP and terminate if running as a client, thus avoiding clients from
1747  being left hanging around when, for instance, a SSH session is disconnected.
1748* Solaris 9 fixes (such as adding compat {get,set}env(3) code).
1749* Accept none instead of default for attributes.
1750* Window options window-status-alert-{alert,bg,fg} added.
1751* Flag -s added to the paste-buffer command to specify a custom separator.
1752* Allow dragging to make a selection in copy mode if the mode-mouse option is
1753  set.
1754* Support the mouse scroll wheel.
1755* Make pipe-pane accept special character sequences (eg #I).
1756* Fix problems with window sizing when starting tmux from .xinitrc.
1757* Give tmux sockets (but not the containing folder) group permissions.
1758* Extend the target flags (ie -t) to accept an offset (for example -t:+2), and
1759  make it wrap windows, and panes.
1760* New command choose-buffer added.
1761* New server option detach-on-destroy to set what happens to a client when the
1762  session it is attached to is destroyed. If on (default), the client is
1763  detached. Otherwise, the client is switched to the most recently active of
1764  the remaining sessions.
1765* The commands load-buffer, and save-buffer now accept a dash (-) as the file
1766  to read from stdin, or write to stdout.
1767* Custom layouts added.
1768* Additional code reduction, bug fixes, and manpage enhancements.
1769
1770CHANGES FROM 1.1 TO 1.2, 10 March 2010
1771
1772* Switch to libevent.
1773* Emulate the ri (reverse index) capability, ergo allowing tmux to at least
1774  start on Sun consoles (TERM=sun, or sun-color).
1775* Assign each entry a number, or lowercase letter in choose mode, and accept
1776  that as a shortcut key.
1777* Permit top-bit-set characters to be entered in the status line.
1778* Mark no-prefix keys with (no prefix), rather than [] in list-keys.
1779* New command show-messages (alias showmsgs), and new session option
1780  message-limit, to show a per-client log of status lines messages up to the
1781  number defined by message-limit.
1782* Do not interpret #() for display-message to avoid leaking commands.
1783* New window options window-status-format, and window-status-current-format to
1784  control the format of each window in the status line.
1785* Add a -p flag to display-message to print the output, instead of displaying
1786  it in the status line.
1787* Emulate il1, dl1, ich1 to run with vt100 feature set.
1788* New command capture-pane (alias capturep) to copy the entire pane contents
1789  to a paste buffer.
1790* Avoid duplicating code by adding a -w flag to set-option, and show-options to
1791  set, and show window options. The commands set-window-option, and
1792  show-window-options are now aliases.
1793* Panes can now be referred to as top, bottom, top-left, etc.
1794* Add server-wide options, which can be set with set-option -s, and shown with
1795  show-options -s.
1796* New server option quiet (like -q from the command line).
1797* New server option escape-time to set the timeout used to detect if escapes
1798  are alone, part of a function key, or meta sequence.
1799* New session options pane-active-border-bg, pane-active-border-fg,
1800  pane-border-bg, and pane-border-fg to set pane colours.
1801* Make split-window accept a pane target, instead of a window.
1802* New command join-pane (alias joinp) to split, and move an existing pane into
1803  the space (the opposite of break-pane), thus simplifying calls to
1804  split-window, followed by move-window.
1805* Permit S- prefix on keys for shift when the terminal/terminfo supports them.
1806* Window targets (-t flag) can now refer to the last window (!), next (+), and
1807  previous (-) window by number.
1808* Mode keys to jump to the bottom/top of history, end of the next word, scroll
1809  up/down, and reverse search in copy mode.
1810* New session option display-panes-active-colour to display the active pane in
1811  a different colour with the display-panes command.
1812* Read the socket path from $TMUX if it's present, and -L, and -S are not
1813  given.
1814* Vi-style mode keys B, W, and E to navigate between words in copy mode.
1815* Start in more mode when configuration file errors are detected.
1816* Rectangle copy support added.
1817* If attach-session was specified with the -r flag, make the client read-only.
1818* Per-window alternate-screen option.
1819* Make load-buffer work with FIFOs.
1820* New window option word-separators to set the characters considered as word
1821  separators in copy mode.
1822* Permit keys in copy mode to be prefixed by a repeat count, entered with [1-9]
1823  in vi mode, or M-[1-9] in emacs mode.
1824* utf8 improvements.
1825* As usual, additional code reduction, bug fixes, and manpage enhancements.
1826
1827CHANGES FROM 1.0 TO 1.1, 05 November 2009
1828
1829* New run-shell (alias run) command to run an external command without a
1830  window, capture it's stdout, and send it to output mode.
1831* Ability to define multiple prefix keys.
1832* Internal locking mechanism removed. Instead, detach each client and run the
1833  external command specified in the new session option lock-command (by default
1834  lock -np), thus allowing the system password to be used.
1835* set-password command, and -U command line flag removed per the above change.
1836* Add support for -c command line flag to execute a shell command.
1837* New lock-client (alias lockc), and lock-session (alias locks) commands to
1838  lock a particular client, or all clients attached to a session.
1839* Support C-n/C-p/C-v/M-v with emacs keys in choice mode.
1840* Use : for goto line rather than g in vi mode.
1841* Try to guess which client to use when no target client was specified. Finds
1842  the current session, and if only one client is present, use it. Otherwise,
1843  return the most recently used client.
1844* Make C-Down/C-Up in copy mode scroll the screen down/up one line without
1845  moving the cursor.
1846* Scroll mode superseded by copy mode.
1847* New synchronize-panes window option to send all input to all other panes in
1848  the same window.
1849* New lock-server session option to lock, when off (on by default), each
1850  session when it has been idle for the lock-after-time setting. When on, the
1851  entire server locks when all sessions have been idle for their individual
1852  lock-after-time setting.
1853* Add support for grouped sessions which have independent name, options,
1854  current window, but where the linked windows are synchronized (ie creating,
1855  killing windows are mirrored between the sessions). A grouped session may be
1856  created by passing -t to new-session.
1857* New mouse-select-pane session option to select the current pane with the
1858  mouse.
1859* Queue, and run commands in the background for if-shell, status-left,
1860  status-right, and #() by starting each once every status-interval. Adds the
1861  capability to call some programs which would previously cause the server to
1862  hang (eg sleep/tmux). It also avoids running commands excessively (ie if used
1863  multiple times, it will be run only once).
1864* When a window is zombified and automatic-rename is on, append [dead] to the
1865  name.
1866* Split list-panes (alias lsp) off from list-windows.
1867* New pipe-pane (alias pipep) to redirect a pane output to an external command.
1868* Support for automatic-renames for Solaris.
1869* Permit attributes to be turned off in #[] by prefixing with no (eg nobright).
1870* Add H/M/L in vi mode, and M-R/M-r in emacs to move the cursor to the top,
1871  middle, and bottom of the screen.
1872* -a option added to kill-pane to kill all except current pane.
1873* The -d command line flag is now gone (can be replaced by terminal-overrides).
1874  Just use op/AX to detect default colours.
1875* input/tty/utf8 improvements.
1876* xterm-keys rewrite.
1877* Additional code reduction, and bug fixes.
1878
1879CHANGES FROM 0.9 TO 1.0, 20 September 2009
1880
1881* Option to alter the format of the window title set by tmux.
1882* Backoff for a while after multiple incorrect password attempts.

1884* Better choose-window, choose-session commands and a new choose-client command.
1885* Option to request multiple responses when using command-prompt.
1886* Improved environment handling.
1887* Combine wrapped lines when pasting.
1888* Option to override terminal settings (terminal-overrides).
1889* Use the full range of ACS characters for drawing pane separator lines.
1890* Customisable mode keys.
1891* Status line colour options, with embedded colours in status-left/right, and
1892  an option to centre the window list.
1893* Much improved layouts, including both horizontal and vertical splitting.
1894* Optional visual bell, activity and content indications.
1895* Set the utf8 and status-utf8 options when the server is started with -u.
1896* display-message command to show a message in the status line, by default some
1897  information about the current window.
1898* Improved current process detection on NetBSD.
1899* unlink-window -k is now the same as kill-window.
1900* attach-session now works from inside tmux.
1901* A system-wide configuration file, /usr/local/etc/tmux.conf.
1902* A number of new commands in copy mode, including searching.
1903* Panes are now specified using the target (-t) notation.
1904* -t now accepts fnmatch(3) patterns and looks for prefixes.
1905* Translate \r into \n when pasting.
1906* Support for binding commands to keys without the prefix key
1907* Support for alternate screen (terminfo smcup/rmcup).
1908* Maintain data that goes off screen after reducing the window size, so it can
1909  be restored when the size is increased again.
1910* New if-shell command to test a shell command before running a tmux command.
1911* tmux now works as the shell.
1912* Man page reorganisation.
1913* Many minor additions, much code tidying and several bug fixes.
1914
1915CHANGES FROM 0.8 TO 0.9, 01 July 2009
1916
1917* Major changes to build infrastructure: cleanup of makefiles and addition
1918  of a configure script.
1919* monitor-content window option to monitor a window for a specific fnmatch(3)
1920  pattern. The find-window command also now accepts fnmatch(3) patterns.
1921* previous-layout and select-layout commands, and a main-horizontal layout.
1922* Recreate the server socket on SIGUSR1.
1923* clear-history command.
1924* Use ACS line drawing characters for pane separator lines.
1925* UTF-8 improvements, and code to detect UTF-8 support by looking at
1926  environment variables.
1927* The resize-pane-up and resize-pane-down commands are now merged together
1928  into a new resize-pane command with -U and -D flags.
1929* confirm-before command to request a yes/no answer before executing dangerous
1930  commands.
1931* Status line bug fixes, support for UTF-8 (status-utf8 option), and a key to
1932  paste from the paste buffer.
1933* Support for some additional escape sequences and terminal features, including
1934  better support for insert mode and tab stops.
1935* Improved window resizing behaviour, modelled after xterm.
1936* Some code reduction and a number of miscellaneous bug fixes.
1937
1938================================================================================
1939
1940On 01 June 2009, tmux was imported into the OpenBSD base system. From this date
1941onward changes are logged as part of the normal CVS commit message to either
1942OpenBSD or SourceForge CVS. This file will be updated to contain a summary of
1943major changes with each release, and to mention important configuration or
1944command syntax changes during development.
1945
1946The list of older changes is below.
1947
1948================================================================================
1949
195021 May 2009
1951
1952* stat(2) files before trying to load them to avoid problems, for example
1953  with "source-file /dev/zero".
1954
195519 May 2009
1956
1957* Try to guess if the window is UTF-8 by outputting a three-byte UTF-8 wide
1958  character and seeing how much the cursor moves. Currently tries to figure out
1959  if this works by some stupid checks on the terminal, these need to be
1960  rethought. Also might be better using a width 1 character rather than width 2.
1961* If LANG contains "UTF-8", assume the terminal supports UTF-8, on the grounds
1962  that anyone who configures it probably wants UTF-8. Not certain if this is
1963  a perfect idea but let's see if it causes any problems.
1964* New window option: monitor-content. Searches for a string in a window and if
1965  it matches, highlight the status line.
1966
196718 May 2009
1968
1969* main-horizontal layout and main-pane-height option to match vertical.
1970* New window option main-pane-width to set the width of the large left pane with
1971  main-vertical (was left-vertical) layout.
1972* Lots of layout cleanup. manual layout is now manual-vertical.
1973
197416 May 2009
1975
1976* select-layout command and a few default key bindings (M-0, M-1, M-2, M-9) to
1977  select layouts.
1978* Recreate server socket on SIGUSR1, per SF feature request 2792533.
1979
198014 May 2009
1981
1982* Keys in status line (p in vi mode, M-y in emacs) to paste the first line
1983  of the upper paste buffer. Suggested by Dan Colish.
1984* clear-history command to clear a pane's history.
1985* Don't force wrapping with \n when asked, let the cursor code figure it out.
1986  Should fix terminals which use this to detect line breaks.
1987* Major cleanup and restructuring of build infrastructure. Still separate files
1988  for GNU and BSD make, but they are now hugely simplified at the expense of
1989  adding a configure script which must be run before make. Now build and
1990  install with:
1991
1992	$ ./configure && make && sudo make install
1993
199404 May 2009
1995
1996* Use ACS line drawing characters for pane separator lines.
1997
199830 April 2009
1999
2000* Support command sequences without a space before the semicolon, for example
2001  "neww; neww" now works as well as "neww ; neww". "neww;neww" is still an
2002  error.
2003* previous-layout command.
2004* Display the layout name in window lists.
2005* Merge resize-pane-up and resize-pane-down into resize-pane with -U and -D
2006  flags.
2007
200829 April 2009
2009
2010* Get rid of compat/vis.* - only one function was used which is easily
2011  replaced,and less compat code == good.
2012
201327 April 2009
2014
2015* Avoid using the prompt history when the server is locked, and prevent any
2016  input entered from being added to the client's prompt history.
2017* New command, confirm-before (alias confirm), which asks for confirmation
2018  before executing a command. Bound "&" and "x" by default to confirm-before
2019  "kill-window" and confirm-before "kill-pane", respectively.
2020
202123 April 2009
2022
2023* Support NEL, yet another way of making newline. Fixes the output from some
2024  Gentoo packaging thing. Reported by someone on SF then logs that allowed a
2025  fix sent by tcunha.
2026* Use the xenl terminfo flag to detect early-wrap terminals like the FreeBSD
2027  console. Many thanks for a very informative email from Christian Weisgerber.
2028
202921 April 2009
2030
2031* tmux 0.8 released.
2032
203317 April 2009
2034
2035* Remove the right number of characters from the buffer when escape then
2036  a cursor key (or other key prefixed by \033) is pressed. Reported by
2037  Stuart Henderson.
2038
203903 April 2009
2040
2041* rotate-window command. -U flag (default) for up, -D flag for down.
2042
204302 April 2009
2044
2045* Change scroll/pane redraws to only redraw the single pane affected rather
2046  than the entire window.
2047* If redrawing the region would mean redrawing > half the pane, just schedule
2048  to redraw the entire window. Also add a flag to skip updating the window any
2049  further if it is scheduled to be redrawn. This has the effect of batching
2050  multiple redraws together.
2051
205201 April 2009
2053
2054* Basic horizontal splitting and layout management. Still some redraw and other
2055  issues - particularly, don't mix with manual pane resizing, be careful when
2056  viewing from multiple clients and don't expect shell windows to redraw very
2057  well after the layout is changed; generally cycling the layout a few times
2058  will fix most problems. Getting this in for testing while I think about how
2059  to deal with manual mode.
2060
2061  Split window as normal and cycle the layouts with C-b space. Some of the
2062  layouts will work better when swap-pane comes along.
2063
206431 March 2009
2065
2066* AIX port, thanks to cmihai for access to a box. Only tested on 6.1 with xlc
2067  10.1 (make sure CC is set). Needs GNU make and probably ncurses (didn't try
2068  plain curses). Also won't build with DEBUG, so comment the FDEBUG=1 line in
2069  GNUmakefile.
2070* Draw a vertical line on the right when the window size is less than the
2071  terminal size. This is partly to shake out any horizontal limit bugs on the
2072  way to horizontal splitting/pane tiling. Currently a bit slow since it has to
2073  do a lot of redrawing but hopefully that will improve as I get some better
2074  ideas for how to do it.
2075* Fix remaining problems with copy and paste and UTF-8.
2076
207728 March 2009
2078
2079* Better UTF-8 support, including combined characters. Unicode data is now
2080  stored as UTF-8 in a separate array, the code does a lookup into this every
2081  time it gets to a UTF-8 cell. Zero width characters are just appended onto
2082  the UTF-8 data for the previous cell. This also means that almost no bytes
2083  extra are wasted non-Unicode data (yay).
2084
2085  Still some oddities, such as copy mode skips over wide characters in a
2086  strange way, and the code could do with some tidying.
2087* Key repeating is now a property of the key binding not of the command.
2088  Repeat is turned on when the key is bound with the -r flag to bind-key.
2089  next/previous-window no longer repeat by default as it turned out to annoy
2090  me.
2091
209227 March 2009
2093
2094* Clear using ED when redrawing the screen. I foolishly assumed using spaces
2095  would be equivalent and terminals would pick up on this, but apparently not.
2096  This fixes copy and paste in xterm/rxvt.
2097* Sockets in /tmp are now created in a subdirectory named, tmux-UID, eg
2098  tmux-1000. The default socket is thus /tmp/tmux-UID/default. To start a
2099  separate server, the new -L command line option should be used: this creates
2100  a socket in the same directory with a different name ("-L main" will create
2101  socket called "main"). -S should only be used to place the socket outside
2102  /tmp. This makes sockets a little more secure and a bit more convenient to
2103  use multiple servers.
2104
210521 March 2009
2106
2107* New session flag "set-remain-on-exit" to set remain-on-exit flag for new
2108  windows created in that session (like "remain-by-default" used to do). Not
2109  perfectly happy about this, but until I can think of a good way to introduce
2110  it generically (maybe a set of options in the session) this will do. Fixes
2111  SF request 2527847.
2112
211307 March 2009
2114
2115* Support for 88 colour terminals.
2116* break-pane command to create a new window using an existing pane.
2117
211802 March 2009
2119
2120* Make escape key timer work properly so escape+key can be used without
2121  lightning fast key presses.
2122
212313 February 2009
2124
2125* Redo mode keys slightly more cleanly and apply them to command prompt
2126  editing. vi or emacs mode is controlled by the session option status-keys.
2127
212812 February 2009
2129
2130* Looking up argv[0] is expensive, so just use p_comm for the window name which
2131  is good enough. Also increase name update time to 500 ms.
2132
213311 February 2009
2134
2135* Only use ri when actually at the top of the screen; just move the cursor up
2136  otherwise.
2137* FreeBSD's console wraps lines at $COLUMNS - 1 rather than $COLUMNS (the
2138  cursor can never be beyond $COLUMNS - 1) and does not appear to support
2139  changing this behaviour, or any of the obvious possibilities (turning off
2140  right margin wrapping, insert mode). This is irritating, most notably because
2141  it impossible to write to the very bottom-right of the screen without
2142  scrolling. To work around this, if built on FreeBSD and run with a "cons"
2143  $TERM, the bottom-right cell on the screen is omitted.
2144* Emulate scroll regions (slowly) to support the few terminals which don't have
2145  it (some of which don't really have any excuse).
2146
214710 February 2009
2148
2149* No longer redraw the status line every status-interval unless it has actually
2150  changed.
2151
215208 February 2009
2153
2154* Don't treat empty arguments ("") differently when parsing configuration
2155  file/command prompt rather than command line.
2156* tmux 0.7 released.
2157
215803 February 2009
2159
2160* New command, copy-buffer (alias copyb), to copy a session paste buffer to
2161  another session.
2162
216301 February 2009
2164
2165* The character pair #(command) may now contain (escaped) right parenthesis.
2166
216730 January 2009
2168
2169* . now bound to "command-prompt 'move-window %%'" by default, from joshe.
2170
217129 January 2009
2172
2173* Window options to set status line fg, bg and attributes for a single
2174  window. Options are: window-status-fg, window-status-bg,
2175  window-status-attr. Set to "default" to use the session status colours.
2176
2177  This allows quite neat things like:
2178
2179	$ cat ~/bin/xssh
2180	#!/bin/sh
2181
2182	if [ ! -z "$TMUX" ]; then
2183	case "$1" in
2184    	natalya)
2185	        tmux setw window-status-fg red >/dev/null
2186		;;
2187	natasha)
2188        	tmux setw window-status-fg yellow >/dev/null
2189		;;
2190	esac
2191	fi
2192	ssh "$@"
2193	[ ! -z "$TMUX" ] && tmux setw -u window-status-fg >/dev/null
2194	$ alias ssh="~/bin/xssh"
2195
2196* Support #(command) in status-left, and status-right, which is displayed as
2197  the first line of command's output (e.g. set -g status-right
2198  "#(whoami)@#(hostname -s)"). Commands with )s aren't supported.
2199
220028 January 2009
2201
2202* Support mouse in copy mode to move cursor. Can't do anything else at the
2203  moment until other mouse modes are handled.
2204* Better support for at least the most common variant of mouse input: parse it
2205  and adjust for different panes. Also support mouse in window/session choice
2206  mode.
2207
220827 January 2009
2209
2210* Bring back the fancy window titles with session/window names: it is easy to
2211  work around problems with elinks (see FAQ).
2212* -u flag to scroll-mode and copy-mode to start scrolled one page
2213  up. scroll-mode -u is bound to prefix,page-up (ppage) by default.
2214* Allow status, mode and message attributes to be changed by three new options:
2215  status-attr, mode-attr, message-attr. A comma-separated list is accepted
2216  containing: bright, dim, underscore, blink, reverse, hidden, italics, for
2217  example:
2218
2219	set -g status-attr bright,blink
2220
2221  From Josh Elsasser, thanks!
2222
222326 January 2009
2224
2225* Be more clever about picking the right process to create the window name.
2226* Don't balls up the terminal on UTF-8 combined characters. Don't support them
2227  properly either - they are just discarded for the moment.
2228
222925 January 2009
2230
2231* load-buffer command
2232
223323 January 2009
2234
2235* Use reverse colours rather than swapping fg and bg for message, mode and
2236  status line. This makes these usable on black and white terminals.
2237* Better error messages when creating a session or window fails.
2238* Oops. Return non-zero on error. Reported by Will Maier.
2239
224021 January 2009
2241
2242* Handle SIGTERM (and kill-server which uses it), a bit more neatly - tidy
2243  up properly and print a nicer message. Same effect though :-).
2244* new-window now supports -k to kill target window if it exists.
2245* Bring back split-window -p and -l options to specify the height a percentage
2246  or as a number of lines.
2247* Make window and session choice modes allow you to choose items in vi keys
2248  mode (doh!). As a side-effect, this makes enter copy selection (as well
2249  as C-w/M-w) when using emacs keys in copy mode. Reported by merdely.
2250
225120 January 2009
2252
2253* Darwin support for automatic-rename from joshe; Darwin doesn't seem to have
2254  a sane method of getting argv[0] and searching for the precise insane way
2255  is too frustrating, so this just uses the executable name.
2256* Try to change the window title to match the command running it in. This is
2257  done by reading argv[0] from the process group leader of the group that owns
2258  the tty (tcgetpgrp()). This can't be done portably so some OS-dependent code
2259  is introduced (ugh); OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Linux are supported at the moment.
2260
2261  A new window flag, automatic-rename, is available: if this is set to off, the
2262  window name is not changed. Specifying a name with the new-window,
2263  new-session or rename-window commands will automatically set this flag to off
2264  for the window in question. To disable it entirely set the option to off
2265  globally (setw -g automatic-rename off).
2266
226719 January 2009
2268
2269* Fix various stupid issues when the status line is turned off. Grr.
2270* Use reverse attributes for clock and cursor, otherwise they do not
2271  appear on black and white terminals.
2272* An error in a command sequence now stops execution of that sequence.
2273  Internally, each command code now passes a return code back rather than
2274  talking to the calling client (if any) directly.
2275* attach-session now tries to start the server if it isn't already started - if
2276  no sessions are created in .tmux.conf this will cause an error.
2277* Clean up starting server by making initial client get a special socketpair.
2278
227918 January 2009
2280
2281* Unbreak UTF-8.
2282* -a flag to next-window and previous-window to select the next or previous
2283  window with activity or bell. Bound to M-n and M-p.
2284* find-window command to search window names, titles and visible content (but
2285  not history) for a string. If only one is found, the window is selected
2286  otherwise a choice list is shown. This (as with the other choice commands)
2287  only works from a key. Bound to "f" by default.
2288* Cleaned up command printing code, also enclose arguments with spaces in "s.
2289* Added command sequences. These are entered by separating each argument by a ;
2290  argument (spaces on both sides), for example:
2291
2292	lsk ; lsc
2293
2294  To use a literal ; as the argument prefix it with \, for example:
2295
2296	bind x lsk \; lsc
2297
2298  Commands are executed from left to right. Also note that command sequences do
2299  not support repeat-time repetition unless all commands making up the sequence
2300  support it.
2301* suspend-client command to suspend a client. Don't try to background it
2302  though...
2303* Mark attached sessions in sessions lists. Suggested by Simon Kuhnle.
2304
230517 January 2009
2306
2307* tmux 0.6 released.
2308
230915 January 2009
2310
2311* Support #H for hostname and #S for session name in status-left/right.
2312* Two new commands, choose-window and choose-session which work only when bound
2313  to a key and allow the window or session to be selected from a list. These
2314  are now bound to "w" and "s" instead of the list commands.
2315
231614 January 2009
2317
2318* Rework the prefix-time stuff. The option is now called repeat-time and
2319  defaults to 500 ms. It only applies to a small subset of commands, currently:
2320  up-pane, down-pane, next-window, previous-window, resize-pane-up,
2321  resize-pane-down. These are the commands for which it is obviously useful,
2322  having it for everything else was just bloody annoying.
2323* The alt-up and alt-down keys now resize a pane by five lines at a time.
2324* switch-pane is now select-pane and requires -p to select a pane. The
2325  "o" key binding is changed to down-pane.
2326* up-pane and down-pane commands, bound to arrow up and down by default.
2327* Multiple vertical window splitting. Minimum pane size is four lines, an
2328  (unhelpful) error will be shown if attempting to split a window with less
2329  that eight lines. If the window is resized, as many panes are shown as can
2330  fit without reducing them below four lines. There is (currently!) not a way
2331  to show a hidden pane without making the window larger.
2332
2333  Note the -p and -l options to split-window are now gone, these may reappear
2334  once I think them through again.
2335* Server locking on inactivity (lock-after-time) is now disabled by default.
2336
233713 January 2009
2338
2339* kill-pane command.
2340
234112 January 2009
2342
2343* command-prompt now accepts a single argument, a template string. Any
2344  occurrences of %% in this string are replaced by whatever is entered at the
2345  prompt and the result is executed as a command. This allows things like (now
2346  bound by default):
2347
2348  	 bind , command-prompt "rename-window %%"
2349
2350  Or my favourite:
2351
2352         bind x command-prompt "split-window 'man %%'"
2353
2354* Option to set prefix time, allowing multiple commands to be entered without
2355  pressing the prefix key again, so long as they each typed within this time of
2356  each other.
2357* Yet more hacks for key handling. Think it is just about working now.
2358* Two commands, resize-pane-up and resize-pane-down to resize a pane.
2359* Make the window pane code handle panes of different sizes, and add a -l
2360  and -p arguments to split-window to specify the new window size in lines
2361  or as a percentage.
2362
236311 January 2009
2364
2365* Vertical window splitting. Currently can only split a window into two panes.
2366  New split-window command splits (bound to ") and switch-pane command (bound to
2367  o) switches between panes.
2368
2369  close-pane, swap-pane commands are to follow. Also to come are pane resizing,
2370  >2 panes, the ability to break a pane out to a full window and vice versa and
2371  possibly horizontal splitting.
2372
2373  Panes are subelements of windows rather than being windows in their own
2374  right. I tried to make them windows (so the splitting was at the session or
2375  client level) but this rapidly became very complex and invasive. So in the
2376  interests of having something working, I just made it so each window can have
2377  two child processes instead of one (and it still took me 12 hours straight
2378  coding). Now the concept is proven and much of the support code is there,
2379  this may change in future if more flexibility is needed.
2380* save-buffer command, from Tiago Cunha.
2381
238210 January 2009
2383
2384* New option, lock-after-time. If there is no activity in the period specified
2385  by this option (in seconds), tmux will lock the server. Default is 1800 (30
2386  minutes), set to 0 to disable.
2387* Server locking. Two new commands: set-password to set a password (a
2388  preencrypted password may be specified with -c); and lock-server to lock the
2389  server until the password is entered. Also an additional command line flag,
2390  -U, to unlock from the shell. The default password is blank (any password
2391  accepted). If specifying an encrypted password from encrypt(1) in .tmux.conf
2392  with -c, don't forget to enclose it in single-quotes (') to prevent shell
2393  variable expansion.
2394* If a window is created from the command line, tmux will now use the same
2395  current working directory for the new process. A new default-path option to
2396  sets the working directory for processes created from keys or interactively
2397  from the prompt.
2398* New mode to display a large clock. Entered with clock-mode command (bound to
2399  C-b t by default); two window options: clock-mode-colour and clock-mode-style
2400  (12 or 24). This will probably be used as the basis for window locking.
2401* New command, server-info, to show some server information and terminal
2402  details.
2403
240409 January 2009
2405
2406* Stop using ncurses variables and instead build a table of the codes we want
2407  into an array for each terminal type. This makes the code a little more
2408  untidy in places but gets rid of the awful global variables and calling
2409  setterm all the time, and shoves all the ncurses-dependent mess into a single
2410  file, tty-term.c. It also allows overriding single terminal codes, this is
2411  used to fix rxvt on some platforms (where it is missing dch) and in future
2412  may allow user customisation a la vim.
2413* Update key handling code. Simplify, support ctrl properly and add a new
2414  window option (xterm-keys) to output xterm key codes including ctrl and,
2415  if available, alt and shift.
2416
241708 January 2009
2418
2419* If built without DEBUG (the release versions), don't cause a fatal error if
2420  the grid functions notice an input error, just log and ignore the
2421  request. This might mean me getting shouted at less often when bugs kill
2422  long-running sessions, at least in release versions.
2423* Hopefully fix cursor out-of-bounds checking when writing to grid. When I
2424  wrote the code I must have forgotten that the cursor can be one cell off the
2425  right of the screen (yes, I know), so there were number of out-of-bounds/
2426  overflow problems.
2427
242807 January 2009
2429
2430* New flag to set and setw, -u, to unset an option (allowing it to inherit from)
2431  the global options again.
2432* Added more info messages for options changes.
2433* A bit of tidying and reorganisation of options code.
2434
243506 January 2009
2436
2437* Don't crash when backspacing if cursor is off the right of the screen,
2438  reported by David Chisnall.
2439* Complete words at any point inside command in prompt, also use option name
2440  as well as command names.
2441* Per-client prompt history of up to 100 items.
2442* Use a splay tree for key bindings instead of an array. As a side-effect this
2443  sorts them when listed.
2444
244522 December 2008
2446
2447* Use the right keys for home and end.
2448
244920 December 2008
2450
2451* Add vim mode for tmux configuration file to examples/, from Tiago Cunha.
2452
245315 December 2008
2454
2455* New command, source-file (alias source), to load a configuration
2456  file. Written by Tiago Cunha, many thanks.
2457
245813 December 2008
2459
2460* Work around lack of dch. On Linux, the rxvt termcap doesn't have it (it is
2461  lying, but we can't really start disbelieving termcaps...). This is a bit
2462  horrible - I can see no way to do it without pretty much redrawing the whole
2463  line, but it works...
2464
246510 December 2008
2466
2467* glibc's getopt(3) is useless: it is not POSIX compliant without jumping
2468  through non-portable hoops, and the method of resetting it is unclear (the
2469  man page on my system says set optind to 1, but other sources say 0). So,
2470  import OpenBSD's getopt_long.c into compat/ for use on Linux and use the
2471  clearly documented optreset = optind = 1 method. This fixes some strange
2472  issues with command parsing (getting the syntax wrong would prevent any
2473  further commands being parsed).
2474
247506 December 2008
2476
2477* Bring set/setw/show/showw into line with other commands. This means that by
2478  default they now affect the current window (if any); the new -g flag must be
2479  passed to set the global options. This changes the behaviour of set/show and
2480  WILL BREAK CURRENT CONFIGURATIONS.
2481
2482  In summary, whether in the configuration file, the command prompt, or a key
2483  binding, use -g to set a global option, use -t to specify a particular window
2484  or session, or omit both to try and use the current window or session.
2485
2486  This makes set/show a bit of a pain but is the correct behaviour for
2487  setw/showw and is the same as every other command, so we can put up with a
2488  bit of pain for consistency.
2489* Redo window options. They now work in the same way to session options with a
2490  global options set. showw/setw commands now have similar syntax to show/set
2491  (including the ability to use abbreviations).
2492
2493  PLEASE NOTE this includes the following configuration-breaking changes:
2494
2495  - remain-by-default is now GONE, use "setw -g remain-on-exit" to apply the
2496    global window option instead;
2497  - mode-keys is now a window option rather than session - use "setw [-g]
2498    mode-keys" instead of set.
2499
2500  There are also some additions:
2501
2502  - message-fg and message-bg session options to control status line message
2503    colours;
2504  - mode-fg and mode-bg window options to set colours in window modes such as
2505    copy mode.
2506
2507  The options code still a mess and now there is twice as much of it :-(.
2508
250902 December 2008
2510
2511* Add support for including the window title in status-left or status-right
2512  strings by including the character pair "#T". This may be prefixed with
2513  a number to specify a maximum length, for example "#24T" to use at most
2514  24 characters of the title.
2515* Introduce two new options, status-left-length and status-right-length,
2516  control the maximum length of left and right components of the status bar.
2517* elinks (and possibly others) bypass the terminal and talk directly to X to
2518  restore the window title when exiting. tmux can't know about this particular
2519  bit of stupidity so the title ends up strange - the prefix isn't terribly
2520  important and elinks is quite useful so just get rid of it.
2521
252227 November 2008
2523
2524* Tweaks to support Dragonfly.
2525
252617 November 2008
2527
2528* tmux 0.5 released.
2529
253016 November 2008
2531
2532* New window option: "utf8"; this must be on (it is off by default) for UTF-8
2533  to be parsed. The global/session option "utf8-default" controls the setting
2534  for new windows.
2535
2536  This means that by default tmux does not handle UTF-8. To use UTF-8 by
2537  default it is necessary to a) "set utf8-default on" in .tmux.conf b) start
2538  tmux with -u on any terminal which support UTF-8.
2539
2540  It seems a bit unnecessary for this to be a per-window option but that is
2541  the easiest way to do it, and it can't do any harm...
2542* Enable default colours if op contains \033[39;49m, based on a report from
2543  fulvio ciriaco.
2544
254512 November 2008
2546
2547* Keep stack of last windows rather than just most recent; based on a diff from
2548  joshe.
2549
255004 November 2008
2551
2552* Don't try to redraw status line when showing a prompt or message; if it does,
2553  the status timer is never reset so it redraws on every loop. Spotted by
2554  joshe.
2555
255609 October 2008
2557
2558* Translate 256 colours into 16 if 256 is not available, same as screen does.
2559* Better support for OSC command (only to set window title now), and also
2560  support using APC for the same purpose (some Linux default shell profiles do
2561  this).
2562
256325 September 2008
2564
2565* Large internal rewrite to better support 256 colours and UTF-8. Screen data
2566  is now stored as single two-way array of structures rather than as multiple
2567  separate arrays. Also simplified a lot of code.
2568
2569  Only external changes are three new flags, -2, -d and -u, which force tmux to
2570  assume the terminal supports 256 colours, default colours (useful for
2571  xterm-256color which lacks the AX flag), or UTF-8 respectively.
2572
257310 September 2008
2574
2575* Split off colour conversion code from screen code.
2576
257709 September 2008
2578
2579* Initial UTF-8 support. A bit ugly and with a limit of 4096 UTF-8
2580  characters per window.
2581
258208 September 2008
2583
2584* 256 colour support. tmux attempts to autodetect the terminal by looking
2585  both at what ncurses reports (usually wrong for xterm) and checking if
2586  the TERM contains "256col". For xterm TERM=xterm-256color is needed (as
2587  well as a build that support 256 colours); this seems to work for rxvt
2588  as well. On non-256 colour terminals, high colours are translated to white
2589  foreground and black background.
2590
259128 August 2008
2592
2593* Support OS X/Darwin thanks to bsd-poll.c from OpenSSH. Also convert
2594  from clock_gettime(2) to gettimeofday(2) as OS X doesn't support the
2595  former; microsecond accuracy will have to be sufficient ;-).
2596
259707 August 2008
2598
2599* Lose some unused/useless wrapper functions.
2600
260125 July 2008
2602
2603* Shell variables may now be defined and used in configuration file. Define
2604  variables with:
2605
2606	VAR=1
2607
2608  And use with:
2609
2610        renamew ${VAR}
2611	renamew "x${VAR}x"
2612
2613 Also some other fixes to make, for example, "abc""abc" work similarly to
2614 the shell.
2615
261624 July 2008
2617
2618* Finally lose inconsistently-used SCREEN_DEF* defines.
2619* If cursor mode is on, switch the arrow keys from \033[A to \033OA.
2620* Support the numeric keypad in both application and numbers mode. This is
2621  different from screen which always keeps it in application mode.
2622
262319 July 2008
2624
2625* Unbreak "set status" - tmux thought it was ambiguous, reported by rivo nurges.
2626
262702 July 2008
2628
2629* Split vi and emacs mode keys into two tables and add an option (mode-keys)
2630  to select between them. Default is emacs, use,
2631
2632     tmux set mode-keys vi
2633
2634  to change to vi.
2635
2636  vi mode uses space to start selection, enter to copy selection and escape
2637  to clear selection.
2638
263901 July 2008
2640
2641* Protocol versioning. Clients which identify as a different version from the
2642  server will be rejected.
2643* tmux 0.4 released.
2644
264529 June 2008
2646
2647* Zombie windows. These are not closed when the child process dies. May be
2648  set for a window with the new "remain-on-exit" option; the default setting
2649  of this flag for new windows may be set with the "remain-by-default" session
2650  option.
2651
2652  A window may be restarted with the respawn-window command:
2653
2654  	respawn-window [-k] [command]
2655
2656  If -k is given, any existing process running in the window is killed;
2657  if command is omitted, the same command as when the window was first
2658  created is used.
2659
266027 June 2008
2661
2662* Handle nonexistent session or client to -t properly.
2663
266425 June 2008
2665
2666* select-prompt command to allow a window to be selected at a prompt. Only
2667  windows in the current session may be selected. Bound to ' by default.
2668  Suggested by merdely.
2669* move-window command. Requested by merdely.
2670* Support binding alt keys (prefixed with M-). Change default to use
2671  C- for ctrl keys (^ is still accepted as an alternative).
2672* Slim down default key bindings: support lowercase only.
2673* Handle escaped keys properly (parse eg \033b into a single key code) and
2674  use this to change copy mode next/previous work to M-f and M-b to match
2675  emacs.
2676
267724 June 2008
2678
2679* Next word (C-n/w) and previous word (C-b/b) in copy mode.
2680
268123 June 2008
2682
2683* list-commands command (alias lscm).
2684* Split information about options into a table and use it to parse options
2685  on input (allowing abbreviations) and to print them with show-options
2686  (meaning that bell-action gets a proper string). This turned out a bit ugly
2687  though :-/.
2688
268922 June 2008
2690
2691* Do not translate black and white into default if the terminal supports
2692  default colours. This was nice to force programs which didn't use default
2693  colours to be properly transparent in rxvt/aterm windows with a background
2694  image, but it causes trouble if someone redefines the default foreground and
2695  background (to have black on white or something).
2696
269721 June 2008
2698
2699* Naive tab completion in the command prompt. This only completes command
2700  names if a) they are at the start of the text b) the cursor is at
2701  the end of the text c) the text contains no spaces.
2702* Only attempt to set the title where TERM looks like an xterm (contains
2703  "xterm", "rxvt" or is "screen"). I hate this but I don't see a better way:
2704  setting the title actually kills some other terminals pretty much dead.
2705* Strip padding out of terminfo(5) strings. Currently the padding is just
2706  ignored, this may need to be altered if there are any software terminals
2707  out there that actually need it.
2708
270920 June 2008
2710
2711* buffer-limit option to set maximum size of buffer stack. Default is 9.
2712* Initial buffer improvements. Each session has a stack of buffers and each
2713  buffer command takes a -b option to manipulate items on the stack. If -b
2714  is omitted, the top entry is used. The following commands are currently
2715  available:
2716
2717	set-buffer [-b index] [-t target-session] string
2718	paste-buffer [-d] [-b index] [-t target-window]
2719	delete-buffer [-b index] [-t target-session]
2720	show-buffers [-t target-session]
2721	show-buffer [-b index] [-t target-session]
2722
2723  -d to paste-buffer deletes the buffer after pasting it.
2724* New option, display-time, sets the time status line messages stay on screen
2725  (unless a key is pressed). Set in milliseconds, default is 750 (0.75 seconds).
2726  The timer is only checked every 100 ms or so.
2727
272819 June 2008
2729
2730* Use "status" consistently for status line option, and prefix for "prefix" key
2731  option.
2732* Allow commands to be entered at a prompt. This is triggered with the
2733  command-prompt command, bound to : by default.
2734* Show status messages properly, without blocking the server.
2735
273618 June 2008
2737
2738* New option, set-titles. On by default, this attempts to set the window title
2739  using the \e]2;...\007 xterm code.
2740
2741  Note that elinks requires the STY environment variable (used by screen) to be
2742  set before it will set the window title. So, if you want window titles set by
2743  elinks, set STY before running it (any value will do). I can't do this for all
2744  windows since setting it to an invalid value breaks screen.
2745* Show arrows at either end of status line when scrolled if more windows
2746  exist. Highlight the arrow if a hidden window has activity or bell.
2747* Scroll the status line to show the current window if necessary. Also handle
2748  windows smaller than needed better (show a blank status line instead of
2749  hanging or crashing).
2750
275117 June 2008
2752
2753* tmux 0.3 released.
2754
275516 June 2008
2756
2757* Add some information messages when window options are changed, suggested by
2758  Mike Erdely. Also add a -q command-line option to suppress them.
2759* show-window-options (showw) command.
2760
276115 June 2008
2762
2763* show-options (show) command to show one or all options.
2764
276514 June 2008
2766
2767* New window options: force-width and force-height. This will force a window
2768  to an arbitrary width and height (0 for the default unlimited). This is
2769  neat for emacs which doesn't have a sensible way to force hard wrapping at 80
2770  columns. Also, don't try to be clever and use clr_eol when redrawing the
2771  whole screen, it causes trouble since the redraw functions are used to draw
2772  the blank areas too.
2773* Clear the blank area below windows properly when they are smaller than client,
2774  also add an indicator line to show the vertical limit.
2775* Don't die on empty strings in config file, reported by Will Maier.
2776
277708 June 2008
2778
2779* Set socket mode +x if any sessions are attached and -x if not.
2780
278107 June 2008
2782
2783* Make status-interval actually changeable.
2784
278506 June 2008
2786
2787* New window option: aggressive-resize. Normally, windows are resized to the
2788  size of the smallest attached session to which they are linked. This means a
2789  window only changes size when sessions are detached or attached, or they are
2790  linked or unlinked from a session. This flag changes a window to be the size
2791  of the smallest attached session for which it is the current window - it is
2792  resized every time a session changes to it or away from it. This is nice for
2793  things that handle SIGWINCH well (like irssi) and bad for things like shells.
2794* The server now exits when no sessions remain.
2795* Fix bug with inserting characters with TERM=xterm-color.
2796
279705 June 2008
2798
2799* Completely reorganise command parsing. Much more common code in cmd-generic.c
2800  and a new way of specifying windows, clients or sessions. Now, most commands
2801  take a -t argument, which specifies a client, a session, or a window target.
2802  Clients and sessions are given alone (sessions are fnmatch(3)d and
2803  clients currently not), windows are give by (client|session):index. For
2804  example, if a user is in session "1" window 0 on /dev/ttypi, these should all
2805  be equivalent:
2806
2807	tmux renamew newname			(current session and window)
2808	tmux renamew -t: newname		(current session and window)
2809	tmux renamew -t:0 newname		(current session, window 0)
2810	tmux renamew -t0 newname		(current session, window 0)
2811	tmux renamew -t1:0 newname		(session 1, window 0)
2812	tmux renamew -t1: newname		(session 1's current window)
2813	tmux renamew -t/dev/ttypi newname	(client /dev/ttypi's current
2814						 session and window)
2815	tmux renamew -t/dev/ttypi: newname	(client /dev/ttypi's current
2816						 session and window)
2817	tmux renamew -t/dev/ttypi:0 newname	(client /dev/ttypi's current
2818						 session, window 0)
2819
2820  This does have some downsides, for example, having to use -t on selectw,
2821
2822	tmux selectw -t7
2823
2824  is annoying. But then using non-flagged arguments would mean renaming the
2825  current window would need to be something like:
2826
2827	tmux renamew : newname
2828
2829  It might be better not to try and be so consistent; comments to the usual
2830  address ;-).
2831* Infrastructure for printing arguments in list-keys output. Easy ones only for
2832  now.
2833
283404 June 2008
2835
2836* Add some vi(1) key bindings in copy mode, and support binding ^[, ^\, ^]
2837  ^^ and ^_. Both from/prompted by Will Maier.
2838* setw monitor-activity and set status without arguments now toggle the current
2839  value; suggested by merdely.
2840* New command set-window-option (alias setw) to set the single current window
2841  option: monitor-activity to determine whether window activity is shown in
2842  the status bar for that window (default off).
2843* Change so active/bell windows are inverted in status line.
2844* Activity monitoring - window with activity are marked in status line. No
2845  way to disable this/filter windows yet.
2846* Brought select-window command into line with everything else; it now uses
2847  -i for the window index.
2848* Strings to display on the left and right of the status bar may now be set
2849  with the status-left and status-right options. These are passed through
2850  strftime(3) before being displayed. The status bar is automatically updated
2851  at an interval set by the status-interval option. The default is to display
2852  nothing on the left and the date and time on the left; the default update
2853  interval is 15 seconds.
2854
285503 June 2008
2856
2857* Per session options. Setting options without specifying a session sets the
2858  global options as normal (global options are inherited by all sessions);
2859  passing -c or -s will set the option only for that session.
2860* Because a client has a session attached, any command needing a session can
2861  take a client and use its session. So, anything that used to accept -s now
2862  accepts -c as well.
2863* -s to specify session name now supports fnmatch(3) wildcards; if multiple
2864  sessions are found, or if no -s is specified, the most newly created is used.
2865* If no command is specified, assume new-session. As a byproduct, clean up
2866  command default values into separate init functions.
2867* kill-server command.
2868
286902 June 2008
2870
2871* New command, start-server (alias "start"), to start the tmux server and do
2872  nothing else. This is good if you have a configuration file which creates
2873  windows or sessions (like me): in that case, starting the server the first
2874  time tmux new is run is bad since it creates a new session and window (as
2875  it is supposed to - starting the server is a side-effect).
2876
2877  Instead, I have a little script which does the equivalent of:
2878
2879  	tmux has -s0 2>/dev/null || tmux start
2880  	tmux attach -d -s0
2881
2882  And I use it to start the server if necessary and attach to my primary
2883  session.
2884* Basic configuration file in ~/.tmux.conf or specified with -f. This is file
2885  contains a set of tmux commands that are run the first time the server is
2886  started. The configuration commands are executed before any others, so
2887  if you have a configuration file that contains:
2888
2889	new -d
2890	neww -s0
2891
2892  And you do the following without an existing server running:
2893
2894	tmux new
2895
2896  You will end up with two sessions, session 0 with two windows (created by
2897  the configuration file) and your client attached to session 1 with one
2898  window (created by the command-line command). I'm not completely happy with
2899  this, it seems a little non-obvious, but I haven't yet decided what to do
2900  about it.
2901
2902  There is no environment variable handling or other special stuff yet.
2903
2904  In the future, it might be nice to be able to have per-session configuration
2905  settings, probably by having conditionals in the file (so you could, for
2906  example, have commands to define a particular window layout that would only
2907  be invoked if you called tmux new -smysession and mysession did not already
2908  exist).
2909* BIG CHANGE: -s and -c to specify session name and client name are now passed
2910  after the command rather than before it. So, for example:
2911
2912	tmux -s0 neww
2913
2914  Becomes:
2915
2916	tmux neww -s0
2917
2918  This is to allow them to be used in the (forthcoming) configuration file
2919  THIS WILL BREAK ANY CURRENT SCRIPTS OR ALIASES USING -s OR -c.

292101 June 2008
2922
2923* Bug fix: don't die if -k passed to link-window and the destination doesn't
2924  exist.
2925* New command, send-keys, will send a set of keys to a window.
2926
292731 May 2008
2928
2929* Fix so tmux doesn't hang if the initial window fails for some reason. This
2930  was highlighted by problems on Darwin, thanks to Elias Pipping for the report
2931  and access to a test account. (tmux still won't work on Darwin since its
2932  poll(2) is broken.)
2933
293402 January 2008
2935
2936* Don't attempt to reset the tty on exit if it has been closed externally.
2937
293806 December 2007
2939
2940* Restore checks for required termcap entries and add a few more obvious
2941  emulations.
2942* Another major reorganisation, this time of screen handling. A new set of
2943  functions, screen_write_*, are now used to write to a screen and a tty
2944  simultaneously. These are used by the input parser to update the base
2945  window screen and also by the different modes which now interpose their own
2946  screen.
2947
294830 November 2007
2949
2950* Support \ek...\e\ to set window name.
2951
295227 November 2007
2953
2954* Enable/disable mouse when asked, if terminal claims to support it. Mouse
2955  sequences are just passed through unaltered for the moment.
2956* Big internal reorganisation. Rather than leaving control of the tty solely in
2957  the client and piping all data through a socket to it, change so that the
2958  server opens the tty again and reads and writes to it directly. This avoids
2959  a lot of buffering and copying. Also reorganise the redrawing stuff so that
2960  everything goes through screen_draw_* - this makes the code simpler, but
2961  still needs broken up more, and all the ways of writing to screens should be
2962  more consistent.
2963
296426 November 2007
2965
2966* Rather than shifting up one line at a time once the history is full,
2967  shift by 10% of the history each time. This is faster.
2968* Add ^A and ^E to copy mode to move to start-of-line/end-of-line.
2969
297024 November 2007
2971
2972* Support for alt charset mode (VT100 graphics characters).
2973
297423 November 2007
2975
2976* Mostly complete copy & paste. Copy mode entered with C-b [ (copy-mode
2977  command). In copy mode, arrow keys/page up/page down/hjkl/C-u/C-f navigate,
2978  space or C-space starts selection, and enter or C-w copies and (important!)
2979  exits copy mode. C-b ] (paste-buffer) pastes into current window. No
2980  extra utility keys (bol/eol/clear selection/etc), only one single buffer,
2981  and no buffer manipulation commands (clear/view/etc) yet. The code is also
2982  fugly :-(.
2983* history-limit option to set maximum history. Does not apply retroactively to
2984  existing windows! Lines take up a variable amount of space, but a reasonable
2985  guess for an 80-column terminal is 250 KB per 1000 lines (of history used,
2986  an empty history takes no space).
2987
298821 November 2007
2989
2990* Create every line as zero length and only expand it as data is written,
2991  rather than creating at full size immediately.
2992* Make command output (eg list-keys) go to a scrollable window similar to
2993  scroll mode.
2994* Redo screen redrawing so it is a) readable b) split into utility functions
2995  that can be used outside screen.c. Use these to make scroll mode only
2996  redraw what it has to which gets rid of irritating flickering status box and
2997  makes it much faster.
2998* Full line width memory and horizontal scrolling in history.
2999* Initial support for scroll history. = to enter scrolling mode, and then
3000  vi keys or up/down/pgup/pgdown to navigate. Q to exit. No horizontal history
3001  yet (need per-line sizes) and a few kinks to be worked out (resizing while in
3002  history mode will probably cause trouble).
3003
300420 November 2007
3005
3006* Fix format string error with "must specify a client" message. Also
3007  sprinkle some printflike tags.
3008* tmux 0.1 released.
3009
301017 November 2007
3011
3012* (nicm) Add -k option to link-window to kill target window if it exists.
3013
301416 November 2007
3015
3016* (nicm) Split in-client display into two columns. This is a hack but not a lot
3017  more so than that bit is already and it helps with lots of keys.
3018* (nicm) switch-client command to switch client between different sessions. This
3019  is pretty cool:
3020
3021	$ tmux bind q switch 0
3022	$ tmux bind w switch 1
3023
3024  Then you can switch between sessions 0 and 1 with a key :-).
3025* (nicm) Accept "-c client-tty" on command line to allow client manipulation
3026  commands, and change detach-/refresh-session to detach-/refresh-client (this
3027  loses the -a behaviour, but at some point -session versions may return, and
3028  -c will allow fnmatch(3)).
3029* (nicm) List available commands on ambiguous command.
3030
303112 November 2007
3032
3033* (nicm) If the terminal supports default colours (AX present), force black
3034  background and white foreground to default. This is useful on transparent
3035  *terms for programs which don't do it themselves (like most(1)).
3036* (nicm) Fill in the rest of the man page.
3037* (nicm) kill-session command.
3038
303909 November 2007
3040
3041* (nicm) C-space is now "^ " not "^@".
3042* (nicm) Support tab (\011).
3043* (nicm) Initial man page outline.
3044* (nicm) -V to show version.
3045* (nicm) rename-session command.
3046
304708 November 2007
3048
3049* (nicm) Check for required terminal capabilities on start.
3050
305131 October 2007
3052
3053* (nicm) Linux port.
3054
305530 October 2007
3056
3057* (nicm) swap-window command. Same as link-window but swaps windows.
3058
305926 October 2007
3060
3061* (nicm) Saving scroll region on \e7 causes problems with ncmpc so I guess
3062  it is not required.
3063* (nicm) unlink-window command.
3064* (nicm) link-window command to link an existing window into another session
3065  (or another index in the same session). Syntax:
3066
3067	tmux -s dstname link-window [-i dstidx] srcname srcidx
3068
3069* (nicm) Redo window data structures. The global array remains, but each per-
3070  session list is now a RB tree of winlink structures. This disassociates the
3071  window index from the array size (allowing arbitrary indexes) which still
3072  allowing windows to have multiple indexes.
3073
307425 October 2007
3075
3076* (nicm) has-session command: checks if session exists.
3077
307824 October 2007
3079
3080* (nicm) Support for \e6n to request cursor position. resize(1) now works.
3081* (nicm) Support for \e7, \e8 save/restore cursor and attribute sequences.
3082  Currently don't save mode (probably should). Also change some cases where
3083  out-of-bound values are ignored to limit them to within range (there are
3084  others than need to be checked too).
3085
308623 October 2007
3087
3088* (nicm) Lift limit on session name passed with -s.
3089* (nicm) Show size in session/window lists.
3090* (nicm) Pass tty up to server when client identifies and add a list-clients
3091  command to list connected clients.
3092
309320 October 2007
3094
3095* (nicm) Add default-command option and change default to be $SHELL rather than
3096  $SHELL -l. Also try to read shell from passwd db if $SHELL isn't present.
3097
309819 October 2007
3099
3100* (nicm) -n on new-session is now -s, and -n is now the initial window name.
3101  This was documented but not implemented :-/.
3102* (nicm) kill-window command, bound to & by default (because it should be hard
3103  to hit accidently).
3104* (nicm) bell-style option with three choices: "none" completely ignore bell;
3105  "any" pass through a bell in any window to current; "current" ignore bells
3106  except in current window. This applies only to the bell terminal signal,
3107  the status bar always reflects any bells.
3108* (nicm) Refresh session command.
3109
311012 October 2007
3111
3112* (nicm) Add a warning if $TMUX exists on new/attach.
3113* (nicm) send-prefix command. Bound to C-b by default.
3114* (nicm) set status, status-fg, status-bg commands. fg and bg are as a number
3115  from 0 to 8 or a string ("red", "blue", etc). status may be 1/0, on/off,
3116  yes/no.
3117* (nicm) Make status line mark window in yellow on bell.
3118
311904 October 2007
3120
3121* (nicm) -d option to attach to detach all other clients on the same session.
3122* (nicm) Partial resizing support. Still buggy. A C-b S and back sometimes fixes
3123  it when it goes wonky.
3124* (mxey) Added my tmux start script as an example (examples/start-tmux.sh).
3125* (mxey) New sessions can now be given a command for their first window.
3126* (mxey) Fixed usage statement for new-window.
3127* (nicm) attach-session (can't believe I forgot it until now!) and list-windows
3128  commands.
3129* (nicm) rename-window and select-window commands.
3130* (nicm) set-option command (alias set): "tmux set-option prefix ^A".
3131* (nicm) Key binding and unbinding is back.
3132
313303 October 2007
3134
3135* (nicm) {new,next,last,previous}-window.
3136* (nicm) Rewrite command handling so commands are much more generic and the
3137  same commands are used for command line and keys (although most will probably
3138  need to check how they are called). Currently incomplete (only new/detach/ls
3139  implemented). Change: -s is now passed before command again!
3140* (nicm) String number arguments. So you can do: tmux bind ^Q create "blah".
3141* (nicm) Key binding. tmux bind key command [argument] and tmux unbind key.
3142  Key names are in a table in key-string.c, plus A is A, ^A is ctrl-A.
3143  Possible commands are in cmd.c (look at cmd_bind_table).
3144* (nicm) Move command parsing into the client. Also rename some messages and
3145  tidy up a few bits. Lots more tidying up needed :-/.
3146
314702 October 2007
3148
3149* (nicm) Redraw client status lines on rename.
3150* (nicm) Error on ambiguous command.
3151
315201 October 2007
3153
3154* (nicm) Restore window title handling.
3155* (nicm) Simple uncustomisable status line with window list.
3156
315730 September 2007
3158
3159* (nicm) Window info command for debugging, C-b I.
3160
316129 September 2007
3162
3163* (nicm) Deleting/inserting lines should follow scrolling region. Fix.
3164* (nicm) Allow creation of detached sessions: "tmux new-session -d".
3165* (nicm) Permit error messages to be passed back for transient clients like
3166  rename. Also make rename -i work.
3167* (nicm) Pass through bell in any window to current.
3168
316928 September 2007
3170
3171* (nicm) Major rewrite of input parser:
3172	- Lose the old weirdness in favour of a state machine.
3173	- Merge in parsing from screen.c.
3174	- Split key parsing off into a separate file.
3175  This is step one towards hopefully allowing a status line. It requires
3176  that we output data as if the terminal had one line less than it really does -
3177  a serious problem when it comes to things like scrolling. This change
3178  consolidates all the range checking and limiting together which should make
3179  it easier.
3180* (mxey) Added window renaming, like "tmux rename [-s session] [-i index] name"
3181
318227 September 2007
3183
3184* Split "tmux list" into "tmux list-sessions" (ls) and "list-windows" (lsw).
3185* New command session selection:
3186	- if name is specified, look for it and use it if it exists, otherwise
3187	  error
3188	- if no name specified, try the current session from $TMUX
3189	- if $TMUX doesn't exist, and there is only one session, use it,
3190	  otherwise error
3191
319226 September 2007
3193
3194* Add command aliases, so "ls" is an alias for "list".
3195* Rename some commands and alter syntax to take options after a la CVS. Also
3196  change some flags. So:
3197
3198	tmux -s/socket -nabc new
3199
3200  Becomes:
3201
3202	tmux -S/socket new -sabc
3203
3204* Major tidy and split of client/server code.
3205
320622 September 2007
3207
3208* Window list command (C-b W). Started by Maximilian Gass, finished by me.
3209
321020 September 2007
3211
3212* Specify meta via environment variable (META).
3213* Record last window and ^L key to switch to it. Largely from Maximilian Gass.
3214* Reset ignored signals in child after forkpty, makes ^C work.
3215* Wrap on next/previous. From Maximilian Gass.
3216
321719 September 2007
3218
3219* Don't renumber windows on close.
3220
322128 August 2007
3222
3223* Scrolling region (\e[r) support.
3224
322527 August 2007
3226
3227* Change screen.c to work more logically and hopefully fix heap corruption.
3228
322909 July 2007
3230
3231* Initial import to CVS. Basic functions are working, albeit with a couple of
3232  showstopper memory bugs and many missing features. Detaching, reattaching,
3233  creating new sessions, listing sessions work acceptably for using with shells.
3234  Simple curses programs (top, systat, tetris) and more complicated ones (mutt,
3235  emacs) that don't require scrolling regions (ESC[r) mostly work fine
3236  (including mutt, emacs). No status bar yet and no key remapping or other
3237  customisation.
3238
