CHANGES FROM 2.1 to 2.2 10 April 2016
Incompatible Changes
====================
* The format strings which referenced time have been removed.
Instead:
#{t:window_activity}
can be used.
* Support for TMPDIR has been removed. Use TMUX_TMPDIR instead.
UTF8 detection how happens automatically if the client supports
it, hence the:
mouse-utf8
utf8
options has been removed.
* The:
mouse_utf8_flag
format string has been removed.
* The -I option to show-messages has been removed. See:
#{t:start_time}
format option instead.
Normal Changes
==============
* Panes are unzoomed with selectp -LRUD
* New formats added:
#{scroll_position}
#{socket_path}
#{=10:...} -- limit to N characters (from the start)
#{=-10:...} -- limit to N characters (from the end)
#{t:...} -- used to format time-based formats
#{b:...} -- used to ascertain basename from string
#{d:...} -- used to ascertain dirname from string
#{s:...} -- used to perform substitutions on a string
* Job output is run via the format system, so formats work again
* If display-time is set to 0, then the indicators wait for a key
to be pressed.
* list-keys and list-commands can be run without starting the tmux
server.
* kill-session learns -C to clear all alerts in all windows of the
session.
* Support for hooks (internal for now), but hooks for the
following have been implemented:
alert-bell
alert-silence
alert-activity
client-attached
client-detached
client-resized
pane-died
pane-exited
* RGB (24bit) colour support. The 'Tc' flag must be set in the
external TERM entry (using terminal-overrides or a custom terminfo entry).
Changelog:
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.
Problems found locating distfiles:
Package colorls: missing distfile ls.tar.gz
Package molden: missing distfile molden-4.6/molden4.6.tar.gz
Package softmaker-office-demo: missing distfile ofl06trial.tgz
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
Changelog:
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.
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.
NOTE: This release has bumped the tmux protocol version. It is therefore
advised that the prior tmux server is restarted when this version of tmux is
installed, to avoid protocol mismatch errors for newer clients trying to
talk to an older running tmux server.
Incompatible Changes
====================
* 88 colour support has been removed.
* 'default-path' has been removed. The new-window command accepts '-c' to
cater for this. The previous value of "." can be replaced with: 'neww -c
$PWD', the previous value of '' which meant current path of the pane can
be specified as: 'neww -c "#{pane_current_path}"'
Deprecated Changes
==================
* The single format specifiers: #A -> #Z (where defined) have been
deprecated and replaced with longer-named equivalents, as listed in the
FORMATS section of the tmux manpage.
* The various foo-{fg,bg,attr} commands have been deprecated and replaced
with equivalent foo-style option instead. Currently this is still
backwards-compatible, but will be removed over time.
Normal Changes
==============
* A new environment variable TMUX_TMPDIR is now honoured, allowing the
socket directory to be set outside of TMPDIR (/tmp/ if not set).
* If -s not given to swap-pane the current pane is assumed.
* A #{pane_syncronized} format specifier has been added to be a conditional
format if a pane is in a syncronised mode (c.f. syncronize-panes)
* Tmux now runs under Cygwin natively.
* Formats can now be nested within each other and expanded accordingly.
* Added 'automatic-rename-format' option to allow the automatic rename
mechanism to use something other than the default of
#{pane_current_command}.
* new-session learnt '-c' to specify the starting directory for that session
and all subsequent windows therein.
* The session name is now shown in the message printed to the terminal when
a session is detached.
* Lots more format specifiers have been added.
* Server race conditions have been fixed; in particular commands are not run
until after the configuration file is read completely.
* Case insensitive searching in tmux's copy-mode is now possible.
* attach-session and switch-client learnt the '-t' option to accept a window
and/or a pane to use.
* Copy-mode is only exited if no selection is in progress.
* Paste key in copy-mode is now possible to enter text from the clipboard.
* status-interval set to '0' now works as intended.
* tmux now supports 256 colours running under fbterm.
* Many bug fixes!
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.
* Changes panes can now emit focus notifications for certain applications
which use those.
* run-shell and if-shell now accept format placeholders.
* 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.
Upstream changes:
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.
The official list of changes is shown below. However, this release also
switches to use GNU Autoconf and Automake, yet this is not shown in the
list of changes. This fact obsoletes our previous local changes, although
new portability problems might arise.
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.
* we need to link to libevent in order to succesfully compile
* we already define closefrom(2) so define HAVE_CLOSEFROM
Patch provided by Antonie Huete Jimenez via private mail.
ok@ wiz
* Window bell reporting fixed.
* Show which pane is active in the list-panes output.
* Backoff reworked.
* Prevent the server from dying when switching into copy mode when already
in a different mode.
* Reset running jobs when the status line is enabled or disabled.
* 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.
which broke copy&paste wrapped shell lines.
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 emacs keys in choice mode.
* Use : for goto line rather than g in vi mode.
* Try to guess which client to use when no target client was specified. Finds
the current session, and if only one client is present, use it. Otherwise,
return the most recently used client.
* Make C-Down/C-Up in copy mode scroll the screen down/up one line without
moving the cursor.
* Scroll mode superseded by copy mode.
* New synchronize-panes window option to send all input to all other panes in
the same window.
* New lock-server session option to lock, when off (on by default), each
session when it has been idle for the lock-after-time setting. When on, the
entire server locks when all sessions have been idle for their individual
lock-after-time setting.
* Add support for grouped sessions which have independent name, options,
current window, but where the linked windows are synchronized (ie creating,
killing windows are mirrored between the sessions). A grouped session may be
created by passing -t to new-session.
* New mouse-select-pane session option to select the current pane with the
mouse.
* Queue, and run commands in the background for if-shell, status-left,
status-right, and #() by starting each once every status-interval. Adds the
capability to call some programs which would previously cause the server to
hang (eg sleep/tmux). It also avoids running commands excessively (ie if used
multiple times, it will be run only once).
* When a window is zombified and automatic-rename is on, append [dead] to the
name.
* Split list-panes (alias lsp) off from list-windows.
* New pipe-pane (alias pipep) to redirect a pane output to an external command.
* Support for automatic-renames for Solaris.
* Permit attributes to be turned off in #[] by prefixing with no (eg nobright).
* Add H/M/L in vi mode, and M-R/M-r in emacs to move the cursor to the top,
middle, and bottom of the screen.
* -a option added to kill-pane to kill all except current pane.
* The -d command line flag is now gone (can be replaced by terminal-overrides).
Just use op/AX to detect default colours.
* input/tty/utf8 improvements.
* xterm-keys rewrite.
* Additional code reduction, and bug fixes.
CHANGES FROM 0.9 TO 1.0, 20 Sept 2009
* Option to alter the format of the window title set by tmux.
* Backoff for a while after multiple incorrect password attempts.
* Quick display of pane numbers (C-b q).
* 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.
* 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.
Upstream changes since 0.7:
* 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.
* rotate-window command. -U flag (default) for up, -D flag for down.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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 creates
a socket in the same directory with a different name ("-L main" will create
socket called "main"). -S should only be used to place the socket outside
/tmp. This makes sockets a little more secure and a bit more convenient to
use multiple servers.
* New session flag "set-remain-on-exit" to set remain-on-exit flag for new
windows created in that session (like "remain-by-default" used to do). Not
perfectly happy about this, but until I can think of a good way to introduce
it generically (maybe a set of options in the session) this will do. Fixes
SF request 2527847.
* Support for 88 colour terminals.
* break-pane command to create a new window using an existing pane.
* Make escape key timer work properly so escape+key can be used without
lightning fast key presses.
* Redo mode keys slightly more cleanly and apply them to command prompt
editing. vi or emacs mode is controlled by the session option status-keys.
* Looking up argv[0] is expensive, so just use p_comm for the window name which
is good enough. Also increase name update time to 500 ms.
* Only use ri when actually at the top of the screen; just move the cursor up
otherwise.
* FreeBSD's console wraps lines at $COLUMNS - 1 rather than $COLUMNS (the
cursor can never be beyond $COLUMNS - 1) and does not appear to support
changing this behaviour, or any of the obvious possibilities (turning off
right margin wrapping, insert mode). This is irritating, most notably because
it impossible to write to the very bottom-right of the screen without
scrolling. To work around this, if built on FreeBSD and run with a "cons"
$TERM, the bottom-right cell on the screen is omitted.
* Emulate scroll regions (slowly) to support the few terminals which don't have
it (some of which don't really have any excuse).
* No longer redraw the status line every status-interval unless it has actually
changed.
(or windows) to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal.
Tmux is intended to be a simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative
to programs such as GNU screen.
