* Better choose-window, choose-session commands and a new choose-client command.
* Option to request multiple responses when using command-prompt.
* Improved environment handling.
* Combine wrapped lines when pasting.
* Option to override terminal settings (terminal-overrides).
* Use the full range of ACS characters for drawing pane separator lines.
* Customisable mode keys.
* Status line colour options, with embedded colours in status-left/right, and
an option to centre the window list.
* Much improved layouts, including both horizontal and vertical splitting.
* Optional visual bell, activity and content indications.
* Set the utf8 and status-utf8 options when the server is started with -u.
* display-message command to show a message in the status line, by default some
information about the current window.
* Improved current process detection on NetBSD.
* unlink-window -k is now the same as kill-window.
* attach-session now works from inside tmux.
* A system-wide configuration file, /etc/tmux.conf.
* A number of new commands in copy mode, including searching.
* Panes are now specified using the target (-t) notation.
* -t now accepts fnmatch(3) patterns and looks for prefixes.
* Translate \r into \n when pasting.
* Support for binding commands to keys without the prefix key
* Support for alternate screen (terminfo smcup/rmcup).
* Maintain data that goes off screen after reducing the window size, so it can
be restored when the size is increased again.
* New if-shell command to test a shell command before running a tmux command.
* tmux now works as the shell.
* Man page reorganisation.
* Many minor additions, much code tidying and several bug fixes.
CHANGES FROM 0.8 TO 0.9, 01 July 2009
* Major changes to build infrastructure: cleanup of makefiles and addition
of a configure script.
* monitor-content window option to monitor a window for a specific fnmatch(3)
pattern. The find-window command also now accepts fnmatch(3) patterns.
* previous-layout and select-layout commands, and a main-horizontal layout.
* Recreate the server socket on SIGUSR1.
* clear-history command.
* Use ACS line drawing characters for pane separator lines.
* UTF-8 improvements, and code to detect UTF-8 support by looking at
environment variables.
* The resize-pane-up and resize-pane-down commands are now merged together
into a new resize-pane command with -U and -D flags.
* confirm-before command to request a yes/no answer before executing dangerous
commands.
* Status line bug fixes, support for UTF-8 (status-utf8 option), and a key to
paste from the paste buffer.
* Support for some additional escape sequences and terminal features, including
better support for insert mode and tab stops.
* Improved window resizing behaviour, modelled after xterm.
* Some code reduction and a number of miscellaneous bug fixes.
================================================================================
On 01 June 2009, tmux was imported into the OpenBSD base system. From this date
onward changes are logged as part of the normal CVS commit message to either
OpenBSD or SourceForge CVS. This file will be updated to contain a summary of
major changes with each release, and to mention important configuration or
command syntax changes during development.
The list of older changes is below.
================================================================================
21 May 2009
* stat(2) files before trying to load them to avoid problems, for example
with "source-file /dev/zero".
19 May 2009
* Try to guess if the window is UTF-8 by outputting a three-byte UTF-8 wide
character and seeing how much the cursor moves. Currently tries to figure out
if this works by some stupid checks on the terminal, these need to be
rethought. Also might be better using a width 1 character rather than width 2.
* If LANG contains "UTF-8", assume the terminal supports UTF-8, on the grounds
that anyone who configures it probably wants UTF-8. Not certain if this is
a perfect idea but let's see if it causes any problems.
* New window option: monitor-content. Searches for a string in a window and if
it matches, highlight the status line.
18 May 2009
* main-horizontal layout and main-pane-height option to match vertical.
* New window option main-pane-width to set the width of the large left pane with
main-vertical (was left-vertical) layout.
* Lots of layout cleanup. manual layout is now manual-vertical.
16 May 2009
* select-layout command and a few default key bindings (M-0, M-1, M-2, M-9) to
select layouts.
* Recreate server socket on SIGUSR1, per SF feature request 2792533.
14 May 2009
* Keys in status line (p in vi mode, M-y in emacs) to paste the first line
of the upper paste buffer. Suggested by Dan Colish.
* clear-history command to clear a pane's history.
* Don't force wrapping with \n when asked, let the cursor code figure it out.
Should fix terminals which use this to detect line breaks.
* Major cleanup and restructuring of build infrastructure. Still separate files
for GNU and BSD make, but they are now hugely simplified at the expense of
adding a configure script which must be run before make. Now build and
install with:
$ ./configure && make && sudo make install
04 May 2009
* Use ACS line drawing characters for pane separator lines.
30 April 2009
* Support command sequences without a space before the semicolon, for example
"neww; neww" now works as well as "neww ; neww". "neww;neww" is still an
error.
* previous-layout command.
* Display the layout name in window lists.
* Merge resize-pane-up and resize-pane-down into resize-pane with -U and -D
flags.
29 April 2009
* Get rid of compat/vis.* - only one function was used which is easily
replaced,and less compat code == good.
27 April 2009
* Avoid using the prompt history when the server is locked, and prevent any
input entered from being added to the client's prompt history.
* New command, confirm-before (alias confirm), which asks for confirmation
before executing a command. Bound "&" and "x" by default to confirm-before
"kill-window" and confirm-before "kill-pane", respectively.
23 April 2009
* Support NEL, yet another way of making newline. Fixes the output from some
Gentoo packaging thing. Reported by someone on SF then logs that allowed a
fix sent by tcunha.
* Use the xenl terminfo flag to detect early-wrap terminals like the FreeBSD
console. Many thanks for a very informative email from Christian Weisgerber.
21 April 2009
* tmux 0.8 released.
17 April 2009
* Remove the right number of characters from the buffer when escape then
a cursor key (or other key prefixed by \033) is pressed. Reported by
Stuart Henderson.
03 April 2009
* rotate-window command. -U flag (default) for up, -D flag for down.
02 April 2009
* Change scroll/pane redraws to only redraw the single pane affected rather
than the entire window.
* If redrawing the region would mean redrawing > half the pane, just schedule
to redraw the entire window. Also add a flag to skip updating the window any
further if it is scheduled to be redrawn. This has the effect of batching
multiple redraws together.
01 April 2009
* Basic horizontal splitting and layout management. Still some redraw and other
issues - particularly, don't mix with manual pane resizing, be careful when
viewing from multiple clients and don't expect shell windows to redraw very
well after the layout is changed; generally cycling the layout a few times
will fix most problems. Getting this in for testing while I think about how
to deal with manual mode.
Split window as normal and cycle the layouts with C-b space. Some of the
layouts will work better when swap-pane comes along.
31 March 2009
* AIX port, thanks to cmihai for access to a box. Only tested on 6.1 with xlc
10.1 (make sure CC is set). Needs GNU make and probably ncurses (didn't try
plain curses). Also won't build with DEBUG, so comment the FDEBUG=1 line in
GNUmakefile.
* Draw a vertical line on the right when the window size is less than the
terminal size. This is partly to shake out any horizontal limit bugs on the
way to horizontal splitting/pane tiling. Currently a bit slow since it has to
do a lot of redrawing but hopefully that will improve as I get some better
ideas for how to do it.
* Fix remaining problems with copy and paste and UTF-8.
28 March 2009
* Better UTF-8 support, including combined characters. Unicode data is now
stored as UTF-8 in a separate array, the code does a lookup into this every
time it gets to a UTF-8 cell. Zero width characters are just appended onto
the UTF-8 data for the previous cell. This also means that almost no bytes
extra are wasted non-Unicode data (yay).
Still some oddities, such as copy mode skips over wide characters in a
strange way, and the code could do with some tidying.
* Key repeating is now a property of the key binding not of the command.
Repeat is turned on when the key is bound with the -r flag to bind-key.
next/previous-window no longer repeat by default as it turned out to annoy
me.
27 March 2009
* Clear using ED when redrawing the screen. I foolishly assumed using spaces
would be equivalent and terminals would pick up on this, but apparently not.
This fixes copy and paste in xterm/rxvt.
* Sockets in /tmp are now created in a subdirectory named, tmux-UID, eg
tmux-1000. The default socket is thus /tmp/tmux-UID/default. To start a
separate server, the new -L command line option should be used: this crea
