much as before - buffers are automatically named "buffer0000",
"buffer0001" and so on and ordered as a stack. Buffers can be named
explicitly when creating ("loadb -b foo" etc) or renamed ("setb -b
buffer0000 -n foo"). If buffers are named explicitly, they are not
deleted when buffer-limit is reached. Diff from J Raynor.
irritating flaws:
a) The old way of always using the top or left if the choice is
ambiguous is annoying when the layout is unbalanced.
b) 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 -g status-style fg=yellow,bg=red,blink
The -a flag to set can be used to add to rather than replace a style. So:

- New sessions still get their working directory from the client that

- New windows are created by default in the session working directory.

commands and allow a command to block execution of subsequent
commands. This allows run-shell and if-shell to be synchronous which has
been much requested.
Each client has a default command queue and commands are consumed one at
a time from it. A command may suspend execution from the queue by
returning CMD_RETURN_WAIT and then resume it by calling cmd_continue() -
for example run-shell does this from the callback that is fired after
the job is freed.
When the command queue becomes empty, command clients are automatically
exited (unless attaching). A callback is also fired - this is used for
nested commands in, for example, if-shell which can block execution of
the client's cmdq until a new cmdq becomes empty.
Also merge all the old error/info/print functions together and lose the
old curclient/cmdclient distinction - a cmdq is bound to one client (or
none if in the configuration file), this is a command client if
c->session is NULL otherwise an attached client.

fire-and-forget.
Status jobs now managed with two trees of output (new and old), rather
than storing the output in the jobs themselves. When the status line is
processed any jobs which don't appear in the new tree are started and
the output from the old tree displayed. When a job finishes it updates
the new tree with its output and that is used for any subsequent
redraws. When the status interval expires, the new tree is moved to the
old so that all jobs are run again.
This fixes the "#(echo %H:%M:%S)" problem which would lead to thousands
of identical persistent jobs and high memory use (this can still be
achieved by adding "sleep 30" but that is much less likely to happen by
accident).
Originally, tmux commands were parsed in the client process into a
struct with the command data which was then serialised and sent to the
server to be executed. The parsing was later moved into the server (an
argv was sent from the client), but the parse step and intermediate
struct was kept.
This change removes that struct and the separate parse step. Argument
parsing and printing is now common to all commands (in arguments.c) with
each command left with just an optional check function (to validate the
arguments at parse time), the exec function and a function to set up any
key bindings (renamed from the old init function).
This is overall more simple and consistent.
There should be no changes to any commands behaviour or syntax although
as this touches every command please watch for any unexpected changes.

- server option "exit-unattached" makes the server exit when no clients
are attached, even if sessions are present;
- session option "destroy-unattached" destroys a session once no clients

These are useful for preventing tmux remaining in the background where
it is undesirable and when using tmux as a login shell to keep a limit
on new sessions.

Also on terminals without ACS at all, use ASCII equivalents where

when the client tty backs up too much, just stop updating the tty and
only update the internal screen. Then when the tty recovers, force a
redraw.
This prevents a dodgy client from causing other clients to go into
backoff while still allowing tmux to be responsive (locally) when seeing
lots of output.
stdin up to the server, I forgot one essential point - the tmux server
could now be both the producer and consumer. This happens when tmux is
run inside tmux, as well as when piping tmux commands together.
So, using stdio(3) was a bad idea - if sufficient data was written, this
could block in write(2). When that happened and the server was both
producer and consumer, it deadlocks.
Change to use libevent bufferevents for the client stdin, stdout and
stderr instead. This is trivial enough for output but requires a
callback mechanism to trigger when stdin is finished.
This relies on the underlying polling mechanism for libevent to work
with whatever devices to which the user could redirect stdin, stdout or
stderr, hence the change to use poll(2) over kqueue(2) for tmux.
commands can directly make use of them. This means that load-buffer and
save-buffer can have "-" as the file to read from stdin or write to stdout.
This is a protocol version bump so the tmux server will need to be restarted
after upgrade (or an older client used).
after the command is executing is bogus because it may still be needed if the
same command is going to be executed again (for example if you "bind-key a

While here, also print bind-key -n and the rest of the flags properly.

starting tmux from .xinitrc.
One of the very few things the server relies on the client for now is to
pass through a message on SIGWINCH, but there is a condition where
potentially a SIGWINCH may be lost during the transition from unattached
(main.c) to attached (client.c). So trigger a size change immediately
after the client installs its SIGWINCH handler.
Also, when the terminal is resized, reset the scroll region and cursor
position. Previously, we were clearing our saved idea of these, but in
fact some terminals do not reset them on resize, so this caused problems
during redraw.
While here make a resize to the same size not cause a redraw and rename

Also support the scroll wheel, although xterm strangely does not ignore

This (and prompt history) might be better as a single global log but until
there are global options it is easier for them to be per client.

Mouse and xterm-style keys still expect to be atomic.
complicated because of escape input, but in that case instead of processing a
key immediately, schedule a timer and reprocess the bufer when it expires.
This currently assumes that keys will be atomic (ie that if eg F1 is pressed
the entire sequence is present in the buffer). This is usually but not always
true, a change in the tree format so it can differentiate potential (partial)
key sequences will happens soon and will allow this to be fixed.
This moves the client-side loops are pretty much fully over to event-based only
(tmux.c and client.c) but server-side (server.c and friends) treats libevent as

Moving the server stuff over to bufferevents and timers and so on will come
later.

Prompted by a query from Ranganathan Sankaralingam.
Irritatingly, although op can be used to tell if a terminal supports default
colours, it can't be used to set them because in some terminfo descriptions it
resets attributes as a side-effect (acts as sgr0) and in others it doesn't, so
it is not possible to determine reliably what the terminal state will be
afterwards. So if AX is missing and op is present, tmux just sends sgr0.
Anyone using -d for a terminal who finds they actually needed it can replace it
using terminal-overrides, but please let me know as it is probably an omission
from terminfo.

More to come, getting this in so it is tested.
Get rid of passing around u_char[4]s and define a struct utf8_data which has
character data, size (sequence length) and width. Move UTF-8 character
collection into two functions utf8_open/utf8_append in utf8.c which fill in
this struct and use these functions from input.c and the various functions in
screen-write.c.
Space for rather more data than is necessary for one UTF-8 sequence is in the
utf8_data struct because screen_write_copy is still nasty and needs to reinject
the character (after combining) into screen_write_cell.
Thai can have treble combinations (1 x width=1 then 2 x width=0) so bump the
UTF-8 cell data size to 9 and alter the code to allow this.
Also break off the combining code into a separate function, handle any further
combining beyond the buffer size by replacing the character with _s, and when
redrawing the UTF-8 character don't assume the first part has just been
printed, redraw the entire line.
permit them to wrap naturally again. This allows terminals that use this to
guess where lines start and end for eg mouse selecting (like xterm) to work

immediately every redraw, queue them up and run them in the background,
starting each once every status-interval. The actual status line uses the
output from the last run.
This brings several advantages:
- tmux itself may be called from inside #() without causing the server to hang;
- likewise, sleep or similar doesn't cause the server to block;
- commands aren't run excessively often when redrawing;
- commands shared by status-left and status-right, or used multiple times, will
only be run once.
run-shell and if-shell still use system()/popen() but will be changed over to

responses to the first the ninth prompts
The default template is "%1" so the response to the first prompt is processed
as a command.
Note that this changes the behaviour for %% so if there is only one prompt,
only the first %% will be replaced. Templates such as "neww -n '%%' 'ssh %%'"
should be changed to "neww -n '%1' 'ssh %1'".

This is the first of two changes to make the protocol more resilient and less
sensitive to other changes in the code, particularly with commands. The client
now packs argv into a buffer and sends it to the server for parsing, rather
than doing it itself and sending the parsed command data.
As a side-effect this also removes a lot of now-unused command marshalling
code.

tmux to hang or crash, please ensure that tmux is entirely killed before

Each window now has a tree of layout cells associated with it. In this tree,
each node is either a horizontal or vertical cell containing a list of other
cells running from left-to-right or top-to-bottom, or a leaf cell which is
associated with a pane.
The major functional changes are:
- panes may now be split arbitrarily both horizontally (splitw -h, C-b %) and
vertically (splitw -v, C-b ");
- panes may be resized both horizontally and vertically (resizep -L/-R/-U/-D,
bound to C-b left/right/up/down and C-b M-left/right/up/down);
- layouts are now applied and then may be modified by resizing or splitting
panes, rather than being fixed and reapplied when the window is resized or
panes are added;
- manual-vertical layout is no longer necessary, and active-only layout is gone
(but may return in future);
- the main-pane layouts now reduce the size of the main pane to fit all panes
if possible.
