of storing a full grid_cell with UTF-8 data and everything, store a new
type grid_cell_entry. This can either be the cell itself (for ASCII
cells), or an offset into an extended array (per line) for UTF-8
data.
This avoid a large (8 byte) overhead on non-UTF-8 cells (by far the
majority for most users) without the complexity of the shadow array we
had before. Grid memory without any UTF-8 is about half.
The disadvantage that cells can no longer be modified in place and need
to be copied out of the grid and back but it turned out to be lot less
complicated than I expected.
uint64_t and converting UTF-8 to Unicode on input and the reverse on
output. (This allows key bindings, there are still omissions - the
largest being that the various prompts do not accept UTF-8.)
around, we can't use file descriptors for the working directory because
we will be unable to pass it to a privileged process to tell it where to
read or write files or spawn children. So move tmux back to using
strings for the current working directory. We try to check it exists
with access() when it is set but ultimately fall back to ~ if it fails
at time of use (or / if that fails too).
#{=10:...} length limit, add #{t:...} to convert a time_t format to a
string, #{b:...} for basename and #{d:...} for dirname. Remove all the
foo_string time formats as they can now be replaced by "t:", for example
#{window_activity_string} becomes #{t:window_activity}.
the main loop after events that may have changed the pane, but do so at
most once every 500 millis. If the pane changed too soon, use a timer to
ensure that a check happens later.
can't do the name check every loop, because that is too expensive, and
we can't make sure it only happens infrequently because we have no idea
when the next change will happen.
but that can only happen when we have already been woken up by a read
event, so there is no need for a timer, we can just check the changed
flag on the end of that read event (we already loop over the windows to
check for bells etc anyway).

See the new MOUSE SUPPORT section of the man page for description of the

as a target, and send-keys -M to pass through a mouse event).
The default builtin bindings for the mouse are:
bind -n MouseDown1Pane select-pane -t=; send-keys -M
bind -n MouseDown1Status select-window -t=
bind -n MouseDrag1Pane copy-mode -M
bind -n MouseDrag1Border resize-pane -M
To get the effect of turning mode-mouse off, do:
unbind -n MouseDrag1Pane
unbind -temacs-copy MouseDrag1Pane
The old mouse options are now gone, set-option -q may be used to
suppress warnings if mixing configuration files.

As well as being smaller, this will allow default bindings to be command

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.

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

- New windows are created by default in the session working directory.
- The -c flag to new, neww, splitw allows the working directory to be

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.

This makes tmux much more responsive under very fast output (for example

all terminals and connections - feedback very welcome, particularly
where this change has a negative rather than positive effect (making it

default-path isn't empty, it is used. Otherwise:
1) If tmux neww is run from the command line, the working directory of the

3) If that fails, the directory where the session was created is used.

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
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.

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

complicated because of escape input, but in that case instead of processing a

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.
