 Incompatible Changes
 ====================
 
-* Key tables have undergone some changes, in particular the following tables
+* Key tables have undergone major changes. Mode key tables are no longer
-  have been removed:
+  separate from the main key tables. All mode key tables have been removed,
+  together with the -t flag to bind-key and unbind-key.
 
-  vi-edit
+  The emacs-edit, vi-edit, emacs-choose and vi-choose tables have been replaced
-  vi-copy
+  by fixed key bindings in the command prompt and choose modes. The mode-keys
-  emacs-edit
+  and status-keys options remain.
-  emacs-copy
 
-  As an example:
+  The emacs-copy and vi-copy tables have been replaced by the copy-mode and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:
 
-  The vi-copy and emacs-copy mode key tables are gone, and instead copy
+    bind -temacs-copy C-Up scroll-up
-  mode commands are bound in one of two normal key tables ("copy-mode" or
+    bind -temacs-copy -R5 WheelUpPane scroll-up
-  "copy-mode-vi"). Keys are bound to "send-keys -X copy-mode-command". So:
 
-      bind -temacs-copy C-Up scroll-up
+  Becomes:
-      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
 
-      bind -Tcopy-mode C-Up send -X scroll-up
+  This changes allows the full command parser (including command sequences) and
-      bind -Tcopy-mode WheelUpPane send -N5 -X scroll-up
+  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:
 
- This allows the full command parser and command set to be used - for
+    bind -Tcopy-mode C-r command-prompt -p'search up' "send -X search-backward '%%'"
- example, we can use the normal command prompt for searching, jumping,
- and so on instead of a custom one:
-
-      bind -Tcopy-mode C-r command-prompt -p'search up' "send -X search-backward '%%'"
-
-  command-prompt also gets a -1 option to only require on key press, which
-  is needed for jumping.
-
-* Edit-mode key table has gone away -- instead, fixed key-bindings are used.
-* bind-key -c flag has been removed.
-* set-remain-on-exit has gone away -- can be achieved with hooks instead.
-* Hooks:
-
-  - before- hooks have gone away;
-  - Set number of commands now have hooks.
 
+  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
 ==============
 
-* Mouse support for double and triple clicks has been added.
+* Support for mouse double and triple clicks.
-* command-prompt understands -N
 * BCE (Background Colour Erase) is now supported.
-* copy-mode learned the copy-pipe-and-cancel command.
-* send -N now works for all keys, not just in copy mode.
 * All occurrences of a search string in copy mode are now highlighted;
-  additionally, the number of search results is also displayed.
+  additionally, the number of search results is displayed. The highlighting
-* Copy mode now supports incremental search.
+  updates interactively with the default emacs key bindings (incremental
+  search).
 * source-file now understands glob patterns.
 * Formats now have simple comparisons:
 
-  For instance:
+    #{==:a,b}
+    #{!=a,b}
 
-  #{==:a,b}
+* There are the following new formats:
-  #{!=a,b}
 
-* Formats also learned the following new placeholders:
+  - #{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.
 
-  - #{version} -- the tmux server version.
+* The configuration file now accepts %if/%endif conditional blocks which are
-  - #{client_termtype} -- the terminal type of the client.
+  processed when it is parsed; the argument is a format string (useful with the
-  - #{client_name} -- the name of a client.
+  new format comparison options).
-  - #{client_written} -- Number of bytes written to the client.
+* detach-client now has -E to execute a command replacing the client instead of
-
-* The configuration file now accepts %if/%endif conditional blocks; the argument
-  is a format string (useful with the new format comparison options).
-* detach-client learned -E to exec a command to replace 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 learned -n
+* break-pane now has -n to specify the new window name.
-* OSC52 support has been added for clipboard inside tmux.
+* OSC 52 support has been added for programs inside tmux to set a tmux buffer.

-* There has also been many performance improvements as part of this version.
+* terminal-overrides and update-environment are now array options (the previous

+* There have been substantial performance improvements.
