sent to stdin before it is needed, which can be inconvenient (eg pasting
commands). Instead, start with stdin disabled and reuse MSG_STDIN from
server->client to mean that stdin should be enabled. Based on a diff
from Chris Johnsen.
Add a skeleton mode to tmux (called "control mode") that let's tmux
commands be sent and output received on stdout. This can be used to
integrate with other terminal emulators and should allow some other
things to be made simpler later. More to come so doesn't do much yet and
deliberately not documented.
Instead of passing stdin/stdout/stderr file descriptors over imsg and
handling them in the server, handle them in the client and pass buffers
over imsg. This is much tidier for some upcoming changes and the
performance hit isn't critical.
The tty fd is still passed to the server as before.
This bumps the tmux protocol version so new clients and old servers are
incompatible.
Add a flag to move-window to renumber the windows in a session (closing
any gaps) and add an option to do this automatically each time a window
is killed. From Thomas Adam.
Call bufferevent_free before closing file descriptor associated with it
or bugs in $EventMechanism on $OtherOS makes libevent get it's knickers
in a twist. From Dylan Alex Simon.
Don't reset the activity timer for unattached sessions every second,
this screws up the choice of most-recently-used. Instead, break the time
update into a little function and do it when the session is attached.
Pointed out by joshe@.
Store sessions in an RB tree by name rather than a list, this is tidier
and allows them to easily be shown sorted in various lists
(list-sessions/choose-sessions).
Keep a session index which is used in a couple of places internally but
make it an ever-increasing number rather than filling in gaps with new
sessions.
Two new options:
- 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
are attached to it.
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.
When changing so that the client passes its stdout and stderr as well as
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.
New option, detach-on-destroy, to set what happens to a client when the session
it is attached to is destroyed. If on (the default), it is detached; if off, it
is switched to the most recently active session.
If remain-on-exit is set, both the error callback and a SIGCHLD could
destroy the same pane (because the first one doesn't remove it from the
list of panes), causing the pane bufferevent to be freed twice. So don't
free it if the fd has already been set to -1, from Romain Francoise.
Massive spaces->tabs and trailing whitespace cleanup, hopefully for the last
time now I've configured emacs to make them displayed in really annoying
colours...
Set the current window pointer to NULL when killing a winlink that is to be
replaced with link-window -k. This prevents it being pushed onto the last
window stack and causing a use-after-free.
Only took me an hour to find this :-/...
Add "grouped sessions" which have independent name, options, current window and
so on but where the linked windows are synchronized (ie creating, killing
windows and so on are mirrored between the sessions). A grouped session may be
created by passing -t to new-session.
Had this around for a while, tested by a couple of people.
Remove the internal tmux locking and instead detach each client and run the
command specified by a new option "lock-command" (by default "lock -np") in
each client.
This means each terminal has to be unlocked individually but simplifies the
code and allows the system password to be used to unlock.
Note that the set-password command is gone, so it will need to be removed from
configuration files, and the -U command line flag has been removed.
This is the third protocol version change so again it is best to stop the tmux
server before upgrading.
Use "Password:" with no space for password prompts and don't display a *s for
the password, like pretty much everything else. From martynas@ with minor
tweaks by me.
Add a new display-panes command, with two options (display-panes-colour and
display-panes-time), which displays a visual indication of the number of each
pane.
