+CHANGES FROM 2.5 to master
+
+* Do a dance on OS X 10.10 and above to return tmux to the user namespace,
+ allowing access to the clipboard.
+
+* Do not allow escape sequences which expect a specific terminator (APC, DSC,
+ OSC) to wait for forever - use a small timeout. This reduces the chance of
+ the pane locking up completely when sent garbage (cat /dev/random or
+ similar).
+
+* Support SIGUSR2 to toggle logging on a running server, also generate the
+ "out" log file with -vv not -vvvv.
+
+* Make set-clipboard a three state option: on (tmux both sends to outside
+ terminal and accepts from applications inside); external (tmux sends outside
+ but does not accept inside); and off.
+
+* Fix OSC 4 palette setting for bright foreground colours. GitHub issue 954.
+
+* Use setrgbf and setrgbb terminfo(5) capabilities to set RGB colours, if they
+ are available. (Tc is still supported as well.)
+
+* Fix redrawing panes when they are resized several times but end up with the
+ size unchanged (for example, splitw/resizep -Z/breakp).
+
+* Major rewrite of choose mode. Now includes preview, sorting and tagging;
+ commands that can be executed directly from the mode (for example, to delete
+ one or more buffers); and filtering in tree mode. The ability to specify the
+ format for each line (the -F flag) has been removed.
+
+* choose-window and choose-session are now aliases of choose-tree (in the
+ command-alias option).
+
+* Support OSC 10 and OSC 11 to set foreground and background colours.
+
+* Check the U8 capability to determine whether to use UTF-8 line drawing
+ characters for ACS.
+
+* Some missing notifications for layout changes.
+
+* Control mode clients now do not affect session sizes until they issue
+ refresh-client -C. new-session -x and -y works with control clients even if
+ the session is not detached.
+
+* All new sessions that are unattached (whether with -d or started with no
+ terminal) are now created with size 80 x 24. Whether the status line is on or
+ off does not affect the size of new sessions until they are attached.
+
+* Expand formats in option names and add -F flag to expand them in option values.
+
+* Remember the search string for a pane even if copy mode is exited and entered
+ again.
+
+* Some further BCE fixes (scroll up, reverse index).
+
+* Improvements to how terminals are cleared (entirely or partially).
+
+CHANGES FROM 2.4 to 2.5 09 May 2017
+
+* Reset updated flag when restarting #() command so that new output is properly
+ recognised. GitHub issue 922.
+
+* Fix ECH with a background colour.
+
+* Do not rely on the terminal not moving the cursor after DL or EL.
+
+* Fix send-keys and send-prefix in copy-mode (so C-b C-b works). GitHub issue
+ 905.
+
+* Set the current pane for rotate-window so it works in command sequences.
+
+* Add pane_mode format.
+
+* Differentiate M-Up from Escape+Up when possible (that is, in terminals with
+ xterm(1) style function keys). GitHub issue 907.
+
+* Add session_stack and window_stack_index formats.
+
+* Some new control mode notifications and corresponding hooks:
+ pane-mode-changed, window-pane-changed, client-session-changed,
+ session-window-changed.
+
+* Format pane_search_string for last search term while in copy mode (useful
+ with command-prompt -I).
+
+* Fix a problem with high CPU usage and multiple clients with #(). GitHub issue
+ 889.
+
+* Fix UTF-8 combining characters in column 0.
+
+* Fix reference counting so that panes are properly destroyed and their
+ processes killed.
+
+* Clamp SU (CSI S) parameter to work around a bug in Konsole.
+
+* Tweak line wrapping in full width panes to play more nicely with terminal
+ copy and paste.
+
+* Fix when we emit SGR 0 in capture-pane -e.
+
+* Do not change TERM until after config file parsing has finished, so that
+ commands run inside the config file can use it to make decisions (typically
+ about default-terminal).
+
+* Make the initial client wait until config file parsing has finished to avoid
+ racing with commands.
+
+* Fix core when if-shell fails.
+
+* Only use ED to clear screen if the pane is at the bottom.
+
+* Fix multibyte UTF-8 output.
+
+* Code improvements around target (-t) resolution.
+
+* Change how the default target (for commands without -t) is managed across
+ command sequences: now it is set up at the start and commands are required
+ to update it if needed. Fixes binding command sequences to mouse keys.
+
+* Make if-shell from the config file work correctly.
+
+* Change to always check the root key table if no binding is found in the
+ current table (prefix table or copy-mode table or whatever). This means that
+ root key bindings will take effect even in copy mode, if not overridden by a
+ copy mode key binding.
+
+* Fix so that the history file works again.
+
+* Run config file without a client rather than using the first client, restores
+ previous behaviour.
+
+* If a #() command doesn't exit, continue to read from it and use its last full
+ line of output.
+
+* Handle slow terminals and fast output better: when the amount of data
+ outstanding gets too large, discard output until it is drained and we are
+ able to do a full redraw. Prevents tmux sitting on a huge buffer that the
+ terminal will take forever to consume.
+
+* Do not redraw a client unless we realistically think it can accept the data -
+ defer redraws until the client has nothing else waiting to write.
+
+CHANGES FROM 2.3 to 2.4 20 April 2017
+
+Incompatible Changes
+====================
+
+* Key tables have undergone major changes. Mode key tables are no longer
+ separate from the main key tables. All mode key tables have been removed,
+ together with the -t flag to bind-key and unbind-key.
+
+ The emacs-edit, vi-edit, emacs-choose and vi-choose tables have been replaced
+ by fixed key bindings in the command prompt and choose modes. The mode-keys
+ and status-keys options remain.
+
+ The emacs-copy and vi-copy tables have been replaced by the copy-mode and
+ copy-mode-vi tables. Commands are sent using the -X and -N flags to
+ send-keys. So the following:
+
+ bind -temacs-copy C-Up scroll-up
+ bind -temacs-copy -R5 WheelUpPane scroll-up
+
+ Becomes:
+
+ bind -Tcopy-mode C-Up send -X scroll-up
+ bind -Tcopy-mode WheelUpPane send -N5 -X scroll-up
+
+ These changes allows the full command parser (including command sequences) and
+ command set to be used - for example, the normal command prompt with editing
+ and history is now used for searching, jumping, and so on instead of a custom
+ one. The default C-r binding is now:
+
+ bind -Tcopy-mode C-r command-prompt -p'search up' "send -X search-backward-incremental '%%'"
+
+ There are also some new commmands available with send -X, such as
+ copy-pipe-and-cancel.
+* set-remain-on-exit has gone -- can be achieved with hooks instead.
+* Hooks: before hooks have been removed and only a selection of commands now
+ have after hooks (they are no longer automatic). Additional hooks have been
+ added.
+* The xterm-keys option now defaults to on.
+
+Normal Changes
+==============
+
+* Support for mouse double and triple clicks.
+* BCE (Background Colour Erase) is now supported.
+* All occurrences of a search string in copy mode are now highlighted;
+ additionally, the number of search results is displayed. The highlighting
+ updates interactively with the default emacs key bindings (incremental
+ search).
+* source-file now understands glob patterns.
+* Formats now have simple comparisons:
+
+ #{==:a,b}
+ #{!=:a,b}
+
+* There are the following new formats:
+
+ - #{version} -- the tmux server version;
+ - #{client_termtype} -- the terminal type of the client;
+ - #{client_name} -- the name of a client;
+ - #{client_written} -- the number of bytes written to the client.
+
+* The configuration file now accepts %if/%endif conditional blocks which are
+ processed when it is parsed; the argument is a format string (useful with the
+ new format comparison options).
+* detach-client now has -E to execute a command replacing the client instead of
+ exiting.
+* Add support for custom command aliases, this is an array option which
+ contains items of the form "alias=command". This is consulted when an
+ unknown command is parsed.
+* break-pane now has -n to specify the new window name.
+* OSC 52 support has been added for programs inside tmux to set a tmux buffer.
+* The mouse "all event" mode (1003) is now supported.
+* Palette setting is now possible (OSC 4 and 104).
+* Strikethrough support (a recent terminfo is required).
+* Grouped sessions can now be named (new -t).
+* terminal-overrides and update-environment are now array options (the previous
+ set -ag syntax should work without change).
+* There have been substantial performance improvements.
+
+CHANGES FROM 2.2 to 2.3 29 September 2016
+
+Incompatible Changes
+====================
+
+None.
+
+Normal Changes
+==============
+
+* New option 'pane-border-status' to add text in the pane borders.
+* Support for hooks on commands: 'after' and 'before' hooks.
+* 'source-file' understands '-q' to suppress errors for nonexistent files.
+* Lots of UTF8 improvements, especially on MacOS.
+* 'window-status-separator' understands #[] expansions.
+* 'split-window' understands '-f' for performing a full-width split.
+* Allow report count to be specified when using 'bind-key -R'.
+* 'set -a' for appending to user options (@foo) is now supported.
+* 'display-panes' can now accept a command to run, rather than always
+ selecting the pane.
+
+CHANGES FROM 2.1 to 2.2 10 April 2016
+
+Incompatible Changes
+====================
+
+* The format strings which referenced time have been removed. Instead:
+
+ #{t:window_activity}
+
+can be used.
+
+* Support for TMPDIR has been removed. Use TMUX_TMPDIR instead.
+* UTF8 detection now happens automatically if the client supports it, hence
+ the:
+
+ mouse-utf8
+ utf8
+
+ options has been removed.
+* The:
+
+ mouse_utf8_flag
+
+ format string has been removed.
+* The -I option to show-messages has been removed. See:
+
+ #{t:start_time}
+
+ format option instead.
+
+Normal Changes
+==============
+
+* Panes are unzoomed with selectp -LRUD
+* New formats added:
+
+ #{scroll_position}
+ #{socket_path}
+ #{=10:...} -- limit to N characters (from the start)
+ #{=-10:...} -- limit to N characters (from the end)
+ #{t:...} -- used to format time-based formats
+ #{b:...} -- used to ascertain basename from string
+ #{d:...} -- used to ascertain dirname from string
+ #{s:...} -- used to perform substitutions on a string
+
+* Job output is run via the format system, so formats work again
+* If display-time is set to 0, then the indicators wait for a key to be
+ pressed.
+* list-keys and list-commands can be run without starting the tmux server.
+* kill-session learns -C to clear all alerts in all windows of the session.
+* Support for hooks (internal for now), but hooks for the following have been
+ implemented:
+
+ alert-bell
+ alert-silence
+ alert-activity
+ client-attached
+ client-detached
+ client-resized
+ pane-died
+ pane-exited
+
+* RGB (24bit) colour support. The 'Tc' flag must be set in the external TERM
+ entry (using terminal-overrides or a custom terminfo entry).
+
+
+CHANGES FROM 2.0 to 2.1 18 October 2015
+
+Incompatible Changes
+====================
+
+* Mouse-mode has been rewritten. There's now no longer options for:
+ - mouse-resize-pane
+ - mouse-select-pane
+ - mouse-select-window
+ - mode-mouse
+
+ Instead there is just one option: 'mouse' which turns on mouse support
+ entirely.
+* 'default-terminal' is now a session option. Furthermore, if this is set
+ to 'screen-*' then emulate what screen does. If italics are wanted, this
+ can be set to 'tmux' but this is still new and not necessarily supported
+ on all platforms with older ncurses installs.
+* The c0-* options for rate-limiting have been removed. Instead, a backoff
+ approach is used.
+
+Normal Changes
+==============
+
+* New formats:
+ - session_activity
+ - window_linked
+ - window_activity_format
+ - session_alerts
+ - session_last_attached
+ - client_pid
+ - pid
+* 'copy-selection', 'append-selection', 'start-named-buffer' now understand
+ an '-x' flag to prevent it exiting copying mode.
+* 'select-pane' now understands '-P' to set window/pane background colours.
+* 'renumber-windows' now understands windows which are unlinked.
+* 'bind' now understands multiple key tables. Allows for key-chaining.
+* 'select-layout' understands '-o' to undo the last layout change.
+* The environment is updated when switching sessions as well as attaching.
+* 'select-pane' now understands '-M' for marking a pane. This marked pane
+ can then be used with commands which understand src-pane specifiers
+ automatically.
+* If a session/window target is prefixed with '=' then only an exact match
+ is considered.
+* 'move-window' understands '-a'.
+* 'update-environment' understands '-E' when attach-session is used on an
+ already attached client.
+* 'show-environment' understands '-s' to output Bourne-compatible commands.
+* New option: 'history-file' to save/restore command prompt history.
+* Copy mode is exited if the history is cleared whilst in copy-mode.
+* 'copy-mode' learned '-e' to exit copy-mode when scrolling to end.
+
+CHANGES FROM 1.9a to 2.0 6 March 2015
+
+Incompatible Changes
+====================
+
+* The choose-list command has been removed.
+* 'terminal-overrides' is now a server option, not a session option.
+* 'message-limit' is now a server option, not a session option.
+* 'monitor-content' option has been removed.
+* 'pane_start_path' option has been removed.
+* The "info" mechanism which used to (for some commands) provide feedback
+ has been removed, and like other commands, they now produce nothing on
+ success.
+
+Normal Changes
+==============
+
+* tmux can now write an entry to utmp if the library 'utempter' is present
+ at compile time.
+* set-buffer learned append mode (-a), and a corresponding
+ 'append-selection' command has been added to copy-mode.
+* choose-mode now has the following commands which can be bound:
+ - start-of-list
+ - end-of-list
+ - top-line
+ - bottom-line
+
+* choose-buffer now understands UTF-8.
+* Pane navigation has changed:
+ - The old way of always using the top or left if the choice is ambiguous.
+ - The new way of remembering the last used pane is annoying if the
+ layout is balanced and the leftmost is obvious to the user (because
+ clearly if we go right from the top-left in a tiled set of four we want
+ to end up in top-right, even if we were last using the bottom-right).
+
+ So instead, use a combination of both: if there is only one possible
+ pane alongside the current pane, move to it, otherwise choose the most
+ recently used of the choice.
+* 'set-buffer' can now be told to give names to buffers.
+* The 'new-session', 'new-window', 'split-window', and 'respawn-pane' commands
+ now understand multiple arguments and handle quoting problems correctly.
+* 'capture-pane' understands '-S-' to mean the start of the pane, and '-E-' to
+ mean the end of the pane.
+* Support for function keys beyond F12 has changed. The following explains:
+ - F13-F24 are S-F1 to S-F12
+ - F25-F36 are C-F1 to C-F12
+ - F37-F48 are C-S-F1 to C-S-F12
+ - F49-F60 are M-F1 to M-F12
+ - F61-F63 are M-S-F1 to M-S-F3
+
+ Therefore, F13 becomes a binding of S-F1, etc.
+* Support using pane id as part of session or window specifier (so % means
+ session-of-%1 or window-of-%1) and window id as part of session
+ (so @1 means session-of-@1).
+* 'copy-pipe' command now understands formats via -F
+* 'if-shell' command now understands formats via -F
+* 'split-window' and 'join-window' understand -b to create the pane to the left
+ or above the target pane.
+
+CHANGES FROM 1.9 to 1.9a 22 February 2014
+
+NOTE: This is a bug-fix release to address some important bugs which just
+missed the 1.9 deadline, but were found afterwards.
+
+Normal Changes
+==============
+
+* Fix crash due to uninitialized lastwp member of layout_cell
+* Fix -fg/-bg/-style with 256 colour terminals.
+
+CHANGES FROM 1.8 to 1.9, 20 February 2014
+
+NOTE: This release has bumped the tmux protocol version. It is therefore
+advised that the prior tmux server is restarted when this version of tmux is
+installed, to avoid protocol mismatch errors for newer clients trying to
+talk to an older running tmux server.
+
+Incompatible Changes
+====================
+
+* 88 colour support has been removed.
+* 'default-path' has been removed. The new-window command accepts '-c' to
+ cater for this. The previous value of "." can be replaced with: 'neww -c
+ $PWD', the previous value of '' which meant current path of the pane can
+ be specified as: 'neww -c "#{pane_current_path}"'
+
+Deprecated Changes
+==================
+
+* The single format specifiers: #A -> #Z (where defined) have been
+ deprecated and replaced with longer-named equivalents, as listed in the
+ FORMATS section of the tmux manpage.
+* The various foo-{fg,bg,attr} commands have been deprecated and replaced
+ with equivalent foo-style option instead. Currently this is still
+ backwards-compatible, but will be removed over time.
+
+Normal Changes
+==============
+
+* A new environment variable TMUX_TMPDIR is now honoured, allowing the
+ socket directory to be set outside of TMPDIR (/tmp/ if not set).
+* If -s not given to swap-pane the current pane is assumed.
+* A #{pane_synchronized} format specifier has been added to be a conditional
+ format if a pane is in a synchronised mode (c.f. synchronize-panes)
+* Tmux now runs under Cygwin natively.
+* Formats can now be nested within each other and expanded accordingly.
+* Added 'automatic-rename-format' option to allow the automatic rename
+ mechanism to use something other than the default of
+ #{pane_current_command}.
+* new-session learnt '-c' to specify the starting directory for that session
+ and all subsequent windows therein.
+* The session name is now shown in the message printed to the terminal when
+ a session is detached.
+* Lots more format specifiers have been added.
+* Server race conditions have been fixed; in particular commands are not run
+ until after the configuration file is read completely.
+* Case insensitive searching in tmux's copy-mode is now possible.
+* attach-session and switch-client learnt the '-t' option to accept a window
+ and/or a pane to use.
+* Copy-mode is only exited if no selection is in progress.
+* Paste key in copy-mode is now possible to enter text from the clipboard.
+* status-interval set to '0' now works as intended.
+* tmux now supports 256 colours running under fbterm.
+* Many bug fixes!
+
+CHANGES FROM 1.7 to 1.8, 26 March 2013
+
+Incompatible Changes
+====================
+
+* layout redo/undo has been removed.
+
+Normal Changes
+==============
+
+* Add halfpage up/down bindings to copy mode.
+* Session choosing fixed to work with unattached sessions.
+* New window options window-status-last-{attr,bg,fg} to denote the last
+ window which was active.
+* Scrolling in copy-mode now scrolls the region without moving the mouse
+ cursor.
+* run-shell learnt '-t' to specify the pane to use when displaying output.
+* Support for middle-click pasting.
+* choose-tree learns '-u' to start uncollapsed.
+* select-window learnt '-T' to toggle to the last window if it's already
+ current.
+* New session option 'assume-paste-time' for pasting text versus key-binding
+ actions.
+* choose-* commands now work outside of an attached client.
+* Aliases are now shown for list-commands command.
+* Status learns about formats.
+* Free-form options can be set with set-option if prepended with an '@'
+ sign.
+* capture-pane learnt '-p' to send to stdout, and '-e' for capturing escape
+ sequences, and '-a' to capture the alternate screen, and '-P' to dump
+ pending output.
+* Many new formats added (client_session, client_last_session, etc.)
+* Control mode, which is a way for a client to send tmux commands.
+ Currently more useful to users of iterm2.
+* resize-pane learnt '-x' and '-y' for absolute pane sizing.
+* Config file loading now reports errors from all files which are loaded via
+ the 'source-file' command.
+* 'copy-pipe' mode command to copy selection and pipe the selection to a
+ command.
+* Panes can now emit focus notifications for certain applications
+ which use those.
+* run-shell and if-shell now accept formats.
+* resize-pane learnt '-Z' for zooming a pane temporarily.
+* new-session learnt '-A' to make it behave like attach-session.
+* set-option learnt '-o' to prevent setting an option which is already set.
+* capture-pane and show-options learns '-q' to silence errors.
+* New command 'wait-for' which blocks a client until woken up again.
+* Resizing panes will now reflow the text inside them.
+* Lots and lots of bug fixes, fixing memory-leaks, etc.
+* Various manpage improvements.
+
+CHANGES FROM 1.6 to 1.7, 13 October 2012
+
+* tmux configuration files now support line-continuation with a "\" at the
+ end of a line.
+* New option status-position to move the status line to the top or bottom of
+ the screen.
+* Enforce history-limit option when clearing the screen.
+* Give each window a unique id, like panes but prefixed with @.
+* Add pane id to each pane in layout description (while still accepting
+ the old form).
+* Provide defined ways to set the various default-path possibilities: ~
+ for home directory, . for server start directory, - for session start
+ directory and empty for the pane's working directory (the default). All
+ can also be used as part of a relative path (eg -/foo). Also provide -c
+ flags to neww and splitw to override default-path setting.
+* Add -l flag to send-keys to send input literally (without translating
+ key names).
+* Allow a single option to be specified to show-options to show just that
+ option.
+* New command "move-pane" (like join-pane but allows the same window).
+* join-pane and move-pane commands learn "-b" option to place the pane to
+ the left or above.
+* Support for bracketed-paste mode.
+* Allow send-keys command to accept hex values.
+* Add locking around "start-server" to avoid race-conditions.
+* break-pane learns -P/-F arguments for display formatting.
+* set-option learns "-q" to make it quiet, and not print out anything.
+* copy mode learns "wrap-search" option.
+* Add a simple form of output rate limiting by counting the number of
+ certain C0 sequences (linefeeds, backspaces, carriage returns) and if it
+ exceeds a threshold (current default 250/millisecond), start to redraw
+ the pane every 100 milliseconds instead of making each change as it
+ comes. Two configuration options - c0-change-trigger and
+ c0-change-interval.
+* find-window learns new flags: "-C", "-N", "-T" to match against either or
+ all of a window's content, name, or title. Defaults to all three options
+ if none specified.
+* find-window automatically selects the appropriate pane for the found
+ matches.
+* show-environment can now accept one option to show that environment value.
+* Exit mouse mode when end-of-screen reached when scrolling with the mouse
+ wheel.
+* select-layout learns -u and -U for layout history stacks.
+* kill-window, detach-client, kill-session all learn "-a" option for
+ killing all but the current thing specified.
+* move-window learns "-r" option to renumber window sequentially in a
+ session.
+* New session option "renumber-windows" to automatically renumber windows in
+ a session when a window is closed. (see "move-window -r").
+* Only enter copy-mode on scroll up.
+* choose-* and list-* commands all use "-F" for format specifiers.
+* When spawning external commands, the value from the "default-shell" option
+ is now used, rather than assuming /bin/sh.
+* New choose-tree command to render window/sessions as a tree for selection.
+* display-message learns new format options.
+* For linked-windows across sessions, all flags for that window are now
+ cleared across sessions.
+* Lots and lots of bug fixes, fixing memory-leaks, etc.
+* Various manpage improvements.
+
+CHANGES FROM 1.5 TO 1.6, 23 January 2012
+
+* Extend the mode-mouse option to add a third choice which means the mouse
+ does not enter copy mode.
+* Add a -r flag to switch-client to toggle the client read-only flag.
+* Add pane-base-index option.
+* Support \ for line continuation in the configuration file.
+* Framework for more powerful formatting of command output and use it for
+ list-{panes,windows,sessions}. This allows more descriptive replacements
+ (such as #{session_name}) and conditionals.
+* Mark dead panes with some text saying they are dead.
+* Reject $SHELL if it is not a full path.
+* Add -S option to refresh-client to redraw status line.
+* Add an else clause for if-shell.
+* Try to resolve relative paths for loadb and saveb (first, using client
+ working directory, if any, then default-path or session working directory).
+* Support for \e[3J to clear the history and send the corresponding
+ terminfo code (E3) before locking.
+* When in copy mode, make repeat count indicate buffer to replace, if used.
+* Add screen*:XT to terminal-overrides for tmux-in-tmux.
+* Status-line message attributes added.
+* Move word-separators to be a session rather than window option.
+* Change the way the working directory for new processes is discovered. If
+ default-path isn't empty, it is used. Otherwise, if a new window is created
+ from the command-line, the working directory of the client is used. If not,
+ platform specific code is used to retrieve the current working directory
+ of the process in the active pane. If that fails, the directory where the
+ session was created is used, instead.
+* Do not change the current pane if both mouse-select-{pane,window} are
+ enabled.
+* Add \033[s and \033[u to save and restore cursor position.
+* Allow $HOME to be used as default-path.
+* Add CNL and CPL escape sequences.
+* Calculate last position correctly for UTF-8 wide characters.
+* Add an option allow-rename to disable the window rename escape sequence.
+* Attributes for each type of status-line alert (ie bell, content and
+ activity) added. Therefore, remove the superfluous options
+ window-status-alert-{attr,bg,fg}.
+* Add a -R flag to send-keys to reset the terminal.
+* Add strings to allow the aixterm bright colours to be used when
+ configuring colours.
+* Drop the ability to have a list of keys in the prefix in favour of two
+ separate options, prefix and prefix2.
+* Flag -2 added to send-prefix to send the secondary prefix key.
+* Show pane size in top right of display panes mode.
+* Some memory leaks plugged.
+* More command-prompt editing improvements.
+* Various manpage improvements.
+* More Vi mode improvements.
+
+CHANGES FROM 1.4 TO 1.5, 09 July 2011
+
+* Support xterm mouse modes 1002 and 1003.
+* Change from a per-session stack of buffers to one global stack. This renders
+ copy-buffer useless and makes buffer-limit now a server option.
+* Fix most-recently-used choice by avoiding reset the activity timer for
+ unattached sessions every second.
+* Add a -P option to new-window and split-window to print the new window or
+ pane index in target form (useful to pass it into other commands).
+* Handle a # at the end of a replacement string (such as status-left)
+ correctly.
+* Support for UTF-8 mouse input (\033[1005h) which was added in xterm 262.
+ If the new mouse-utf8 option is on, UTF-8 mouse input is enabled for all
+ UTF-8 terminals. The option defaults to on if LANG etc are set in the same
+ manner as the utf8 option.
+* Support for HP-UX.
+* Accept colours of the hex form #ffffff and translate to the nearest from the
+ xterm(1) 256-colour set.
+* Clear the non-blocking IO flag (O_NONBLOCK) on the stdio file descriptors
+ before closing them (fixes things like "tmux ls && cat").
+* Use TMPDIR if set.
+* Fix next and previous session functions to actually work.
+* Support -x and -y for new-session to specify the initial size of the window
+ if created detached with -d.
+* Make bind-key accept characters with the top-bit-set and print them as octal.
+* Set $TMUX without the session when background jobs are run.
+* Simplify the way jobs work and drop the persist type, so all jobs are
+ fire-and-forget.
+* Accept tcgetattr/tcsetattr(3) failure, fixes problems with fatal() if the
+ terminal disappears while locked.
+* Add a -P option to detach to HUP the client's parent process (usually causing
+ it to exit as well).
+* Support passing through escape sequences to the underlying terminal by using
+ DCS with a "tmux;" prefix.
+* Prevent tiled producing a corrupt layout when only one column is needed.
+* Give each pane created in a tmux server a unique id (starting from 0), put it
+ in the TMUX_PANE environment variable and accept it as a target.
+* Allow a start and end line to be specified for capture-pane which may be
+ negative to capture part of the history.
+* Add -a and -s options to lsp to list all panes in the server or session
+ respectively. Likewise add -s to lsw.
+* Change -t on display-message to be target-pane for the #[A-Z] replacements
+ and add -c as target-client.
+* The attach-session command now prefers the most recently used unattached
+ session.
+* Add -s option to detach-client to detach all clients attached to a session.
+* Add -t to list-clients.
+* Change window with mouse wheel over status line if mouse-select-window is on.
+* When mode-mouse is on, automatically enter copy mode when the mouse is
+ dragged or the mouse wheel is used. Also exit copy mode when the mouse wheel
+ is scrolled off the bottom.
+* Provide #h character pair for short hostname (no domain).
+* Don't use strnvis(3) for the title as it breaks UTF-8.
+* Use the tsl and fsl terminfo(5) capabilities to update terminal title and
+ automatically fill them in on terminals with the XT capability (which means
+ their title setting is xterm-compatible).
+* Add a new option, mouse-resize-pane. When on, panes may be resized by
+ dragging their borders.
+* Fix crash by resetting last pane on {break,swap}-pane across windows.
+* Add three new copy-mode commands - select-line, copy-line, copy-end-of-line.
+* Support setting the xterm clipboard when copying from copy mode using the
+ xterm escape sequence for the purpose (if xterm is configured to allow it).
+* Support xterm(1) cursor colour change sequences through terminfo(5) Cc
+ (set) and Cr (reset) extensions.
+* Support DECSCUSR sequence to set the cursor style with two new terminfo(5)
+ extensions, Cs and Csr.
+* Make the command-prompt custom prompts recognize the status-left option
+ character pairs.
+* Add a respawn-pane command.
+* Add a couple of extra xterm-style keys that gnome terminal provides.
+* Allow the initial context on prompts to be set with the new -I option to
+ command-prompt. Include the current window and session name in the prompt
+ when renaming and add a new key binding ($) for rename session.
+* Option bell-on-alert added to trigger the terminal bell when there is an
+ alert.
+* Change the list-keys format so that it shows the keys using actual tmux
+ commands which should be able to be directly copied into the config file.
+* Show full targets for lsp/lsw -a.
+* Make confirm-before prompt customizable with -p option like command-prompt
+ and add the character pairs #W and #P to the default kill-{pane,window}
+ prompts.
+* Avoid sending data to suspended/locked clients.
+* Small memory leaks in error paths plugged.
+* Vi mode improvements.
+
+CHANGES FROM 1.3 TO 1.4, 27 December 2010

+* Backoff reworked.
+* Prevent the server from dying when switching into copy mode when already
+ in a different mode.

+* Simplify xterm modifier detection.
+* Avoid crashing in copy mode if the screen size is too small for the
+ indicator.
+* Flags -n and -p added to switch-client.
+* Use UTF-8 line drawing characters on UTF-8 terminals, thus fixing some
+ terminals (eg putty) which disable the vt100 ACS mode switching sequences
+ in UTF-8 mode. On terminals without ACS, use ASCII equivalents.
+* New server option exit-unattached added.
+* New session option destroy-unattached added.
+* Fall back on normal session choice method if $TMUX exists but is invalid
+ rather than rejecting.
+* Mark repeating keys with "(repeat)" in the key list.
+* When removing a pane, don't change the active pane unless the active pane
+ is actually the one being removed.
+* New command last-pane added.
+* AIX fixes.
+* Flag -a added to unbind-key.
+* Add XAUTHORITY to update-environment.
+* More info regarding window and pane flags is now shown in list-*.
+* If VISUAL or EDITOR contains "vi" configure mode-keys and status-key to vi.
+* New window option monitor-silence and session option visual-silence added.
+* In the built-in layouts distribute the panes more evenly.
+* Set the default value of main-pane-width to 80 instead of 81.
+* Command-line flag -V added.
+* Instead of keeping a per-client prompt history make it global.
+* Fix rectangle copy to behave like emacs (the cursor is not part of the
+ selection on the right edge but on the left it is).
+* Flag -l added to switch-client.
+* Retrieve environment variables from the global environment rather than
+ getenv(3), thus allowing them to be updated during the configuration file.
+* New window options other-pane-{height,width} added.
+* More minor bugs fixed and manpage improvements.
+
+CHANGES FROM 1.2 TO 1.3, 18 July 2010
+
+* New input parser.
+* Flags to move through panes -UDLR added to select-pane.
+* Commands up-pane, and down-pane removed, since equivalent behaviour is now
+ available through the target flag (-t:+ and -t:-).
+* Jump-forward/backward in copy move (based on vi's F, and f commands).
+* Make paste-buffer accept a pane as a target.
+* Flag -a added to new-window to insert a window after an existing one, moving
+ windows up if necessary.
+* Merge more mode into copy mode.
+* Run job commands explicitly in the global environment (which can be modified
+ with setenv -g), rather than with the environment tmux started with.
+* Use the machine's hostname as the default title, instead of an empty string.
+* Prevent double free if the window option remain-on-exit is set.
+* Key string conversions rewritten.
+* Mark zombie windows as dead in the choose-window list.
+* Tiled layout added.
+* Signal handling reworked.
+* Reset SIGCHLD after fork to fix problems with some shells.
+* Select-prompt command removed. Therefore, bound ' to command-prompt -p index
+ "select-window -t:%%" by default.
+* Catch SIGHUP and terminate if running as a client, thus avoiding clients from
+ being left hanging around when, for instance, a SSH session is disconnected.
+* Solaris 9 fixes (such as adding compat {get,set}env(3) code).
+* Accept none instead of default for attributes.
+* Window options window-status-alert-{alert,bg,fg} added.
+* Flag -s added to the paste-buffer command to specify a custom separator.
+* Allow dragging to make a selection in copy mode if the mode-mouse option is
+ set.
+* Support the mouse scroll wheel.
+* Make pipe-pane accept special character sequences (eg #I).
+* Fix problems with window sizing when starting tmux from .xinitrc.
+* Give tmux sockets (but not the containing folder) group permissions.
+* Extend the target flags (ie -t) to accept an offset (for example -t:+2), and
+ make it wrap windows, and panes.
+* New command choose-buffer added.
+* New server option detach-on-destroy to set what happens to a client when the
+ session it is attached to is destroyed. If on (default), the client is
+ detached. Otherwise, the client is switched to the most recently active of
+ the remaining sessions.
+* The commands load-buffer, and save-buffer now accept a dash (-) as the file
+ to read from stdin, or write to stdout.
+* Custom layouts added.
+* Additional code reduction, bug fixes, and manpage enhancements.
+
+CHANGES FROM 1.1 TO 1.2, 10 March 2010
+
+* Switch to libevent.
+* Emulate the ri (reverse index) capability, ergo allowing tmux to at least
+ start on Sun consoles (TERM=sun, or sun-color).
+* Assign each entry a number, or lowercase letter in choose mode, and accept
+ that as a shortcut key.
+* Permit top-bit-set characters to be entered in the status line.
+* Mark no-prefix keys with (no prefix), rather than [] in list-keys.
+* New command show-messages (alias showmsgs), and new session option
+ message-limit, to show a per-client log of status lines messages up to the
+ number defined by message-limit.
+* Do not interpret #() for display-message to avoid leaking commands.
+* New window options window-status-format, and window-status-current-format to
+ control the format of each window in the status line.
+* Add a -p flag to display-message to print the output, instead of displaying
+ it in the status line.
+* Emulate il1, dl1, ich1 to run with vt100 feature set.
+* New command capture-pane (alias capturep) to copy the entire pane contents
+ to a paste buffer.
+* Avoid duplicating code by adding a -w flag to set-option, and show-options to
+ set, and show window options. The commands set-window-option, and
+ show-window-options are now aliases.
+* Panes can now be referred to as top, bottom, top-left, etc.
+* Add server-wide options, which can be set with set-option -s, and shown with
+ show-options -s.
+* New server option quiet (like -q from the command line).
+* New server option escape-time to set the timeout used to detect if escapes
+ are alone, part of a function key, or meta sequence.
+* New session options pane-active-border-bg, pane-active-border-fg,
+ pane-border-bg, and pane-border-fg to set pane colours.
+* Make split-window accept a pane target, instead of a window.
+* New command join-pane (alias joinp) to split, and move an existing pane into
+ the space (the opposite of break-pane), thus simplifying calls to
+ split-window, followed by move-window.
+* Permit S- prefix on keys for shift when the terminal/terminfo supports them.
+* Window targets (-t flag) can now refer to the last window (!), next (+), and
+ previous (-) window by number.
+* Mode keys to jump to the bottom/top of history, end of the next word, scroll
+ up/down, and reverse search in copy mode.
+* New session option display-panes-active-colour to display the active pane in
+ a different colour with the display-panes command.
+* Read the socket path from $TMUX if it's present, and -L, and -S are not
+ given.
+* Vi-style mode keys B, W, and E to navigate between words in copy mode.
+* Start in more mode when configuration file errors are detected.
+* Rectangle copy support added.
+* If attach-session was specified with the -r flag, make the client read-only.
+* Per-window alternate-screen option.
+* Make load-buffer work with FIFOs.
+* New window option word-separators to set the characters considered as word
+ separators in copy mode.
+* Permit keys in copy mode to be prefixed by a repeat count, entered with [1-9]
+ in vi mode, or M-[1-9] in emacs mode.
+* utf8 improvements.
+* As usual, additional code reduction, bug fixes, and manpage enhancements.
+
+CHANGES FROM 1.0 TO 1.1, 05 November 2009
+
+* New run-shell (alias run) command to run an external command without a
+ window, capture it's stdout, and send it to output mode.
+* Ability to define multiple prefix keys.
+* Internal locking mechanism removed. Instead, detach each client and run the
+ external command specified in the new session option lock-command (by default
+ lock -np), thus allowing the system password to be used.
+* set-password command, and -U command line flag removed per the above change.
+* Add support for -c command line flag to execute a shell command.
+* New lock-client (alias lockc), and lock-session (alias locks) commands to
+ lock a particular client, or all clients attached to a session.
+* Support C-n/C-p/C-v/M-v with emac
