from attaching, forced to attach read-only, or allowed to attach read-write. A
new command, server-access, configures the list. tmux gets the user using
getpeereid(3) of the client socket. Users must still configure file system
permissions manually.
set of statements and parse with yacc, then convert back to a string as
the last step. This means the rules are consistent inside and outside
{}, %if and friends work at the right time, and the final result isn't
littered with unnecessary newlines.
newlines. This means that for example bind q { a \n b } and bind q "a ;
b" are the same. Also log commands in different groups separated by ;;
rather than ; (a command list like this should never be user visible).
creating a new state for each group of commands, require the caller to
create one and use it for all the commands in the list. This means the
current target works even with list with multiple groups (which can
happen if they are defined with newlines).
parser using yacc(1). This is a major change but is clearer and simpler
and allows some edge cases to be made more consistent, as well as
tidying up how aliases are handled. It will also allow some further
improvements later.
Entirely the same parser is now used for parsing the configuration file
and for string commands. This means that constructs previously only
available in .tmux.conf, such as %if, can now be used in string commands
(for example, those given to if-shell - not commands invoked from the
shell, they are still parsed by the shell itself).
The only syntax change I am aware of is that #{} outside quotes or a
comment is now considered a format and not a comment, so #{ is now a
syntax error (notably, if it is at the start of a line).
This also adds two new sections to the man page documenting the syntax
and outlining how parsing and command execution works.
Thanks to everyone who sent me test configs (they still all parse
without errors - but this doesn't mean they still work as intended!).
Thanks to Avi Halachmi for testing and man page improvements, also to
jmc@ for reviewing the man page changes.
