@ -4,8 +4,9 @@ tmux is a "terminal multiplexer", it enables a number of terminals (or windows)
to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. tmux is intended to be a
simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen.
This 0.5 runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux and OS X and is usable, although there
remain a number of missing features and some remaining bugs are expected.
This 0.6 release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux and OS X and may still run on
Solaris (although it hasn't been tested in a while). It is usable, although
there remain a number of missing features and some remaining bugs are expected.
tmux consists of a server part and multiple clients. The server is created when

tmux supports UTF-8. To use it, the utf8 option must be set on each window; this
may be turned on by default by setting the utf8-default option. In addition, when
starting tmux or attaching to an existing session from a UTF-8-capable terminal,
the -u flag must be specified.
tmux supports UTF-8. To use it, the utf8 option must be set on each window;
this may be turned on for all windows by setting it as a global option, see
tmux(1) and the FAQ file. In addition, when starting tmux or attaching to an
existing session from a UTF-8-capable terminal, the -u flag must be specified.
There are the following known issues:
- cons25 on the FreeBSD console doesn't support scroll region (cs) (or lies
about support, I'm not totally clear which). This is a pity but emulating cs
is non- trivial and as most modern vt220-based software terminals support it,
is nontrivial and as most modern vt220-based software terminals support it,
currently there are better things to work one. Diffs or ideas how to cleanly
emulate cs are welcome.
