allow an independent current window (although it would be nice to have a
flag for this too and remove session groups). The client active pane is

zooming) still use the window active pane.

refresh-client -F has become -f (-F stays for backwards compatibility)

format "client_flags" lists the flags and is shown by list-clients by
default.
This separates the read-only flag from "ignore size" behaviour (new
ignore-size) flag - both behaviours are useful in different
circumstances.
attach -r and switchc -r remain and set or toggle both flags together.
- Add styles for the search marking styles (copy-mode-match-style and
copy-mode-current-match-style).
- Show the current match (the one with the cursor on it) in a different style.
- Copying without a selection will copy the current match if there is one.
- Only show pane title if it is not default and not empty.
- Add a prettier time format and use that instead of long ctime().
- Remove clutter and change the order.
- There is no need for join-pane and move-pane to be different.
- break-pane can just behave like move-window if the source has only one
pane, instead of failing.

terminal features, each of which are defined in one place and map to a
builtin set of terminfo(5) capabilities. Features can be specified based
on TERM with a new terminal-features option or with the -T flag when
running tmux. tmux will also detect a few common terminals from the DA
and DSR responses.
This is intended to make it easier to configure tmux's use of
terminfo(5) even in the presence of outdated ncurses(3) or terminfo(5)
databases or for features which do not yet have a terminfo(5) entry.
Instead of having to grok terminfo(5) capability names and what they
should be set to in the terminal-overrides option, the user can
hopefully just give tmux a feature name and let it do the right thing.
The terminal-overrides option remains both for backwards compatibility
and to allow tweaks of individual capabilities.
tmux already did much of this already, this makes it tidier and simpler
to configure.

reference to it, it isn't necessary that the pane in copy mode is the
same as the one copying from. Add a -s flag to copy-mode to specify a
different pane for the source content. This means it is possible to view
two places in a pane's history at the same time in different panes, or
copy from a pane's history into an editor or shell in the same pane.

- Add double and triple click bindings to copy a word or line outside
copy mode. The text is selected for a short period to show what has
been copied. This is in line with the existing mouse selection where
the text is copied and the selection is cleared when the mouse button
is released.
- Change the existing double and triple click bindings in copy mode to
behave in the same way.
- Add a button 2 binding to paste the top buffer.

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!).

changes to allow the status line to be entirely configured with a single
option.
Now that it is possible to configure their content, enable the existing
code that lets the status line be multiple lines in height. The status
option can now take a value of 2, 3, 4 or 5 (as well as the previous on
or off) to configure more than one line. The new status-format array
option configures the format of each line, the default just references
the existing status-* options, although some of the more obscure status
options may be eliminated in time.
Additions to the #[] syntax are: "align" to specify alignment (left,
centre, right), "list" for the window list and "range" to configure
ranges of text for the mouse bindings.
The "align" keyword can also be used to specify alignment of entries in
tree mode and the pane status lines.
