jobs, this means that if the same job is used for different windows or
panes (for example in pane-border-format), it will be run separately for
each pane.
but there is also now a global command queue. Instead of command queues
being dispatched on demand from wherever the command happens to be
added, they are now all dispatched from the top level server
loop. Command queues may now also include callbacks as well as commands,
and items may be inserted after the current command as well as at the end.
This all makes command queues significantly more predictable and easier
to use, and avoids the complex multiple nested command queues used by
source-file, if-shell and friends.
A mass rename of struct cmdq to a better name (cmdq_item probably) is
coming.
sequences (notable EL and ED but also IL, DL, ICH, DCH) create blank
cells using the current background colour rather than the default
colour.
On modern systems BCE doesn't really have many benefits, but most other
terminals now support it, some (lazy) applications rely on it, and it is
not hard to include now that we have pane background colours anyway.

The vi-copy and emacs-copy mode key tables are gone, and instead copy
mode commands are bound in one of two normal key tables ("copy-mode" or
"copy-mode-vi"). Keys are bound to "send-keys -X copy-mode-command". So:
bind -temacs-copy C-Up scroll-up
bind -temacs-copy -R5 WheelUpPane scroll-up
Becomes:
bind -Tcopy-mode C-Up send -X scroll-up
bind -Tcopy-mode WheelUpPane send -N5 -X scroll-up
This allows the full command parser and command set to be used - for
example, we can use the normal command prompt for searching, jumping,
and so on instead of a custom one:
bind -Tcopy-mode C-r command-prompt -p'search up' "send -X search-backward '%%'"
command-prompt also gets a -1 option to only require on key press, which
is needed for jumping.
The plan is to get rid of mode keys entirely, so more to come eventually.
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.)
options for "mouse-this" and "mouse-that", mouse events may be bound as
keys and there is one option "mouse" that turns on mouse support
entirely (set -g mouse on).
See the new MOUSE SUPPORT section of the man page for description of the
key names and new flags (-t= to specify the pane or window under mouse
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.
store it in struct mouse_event, reduce the scroll size the 3 but allow
shift to reduce it to 1 and meta and ctrl to multiply by 3 if the
terminal supports them, also support wheel in choose mode. From Marcel
Partap.
options with a single foo-style option. For example:
set -g status-fg yellow
set -g status-bg red
set -g status-attr blink
Becomes:
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:
set -g status-bg red
Becomes:
set -ag status-style bg=red
Currently this is fully backwards compatible (all *-{fg,bg,attr} options
remain) but the plan is to deprecate them over time.

When choose-tree is told to expand/collapse items (especially when first
rendering collapsed to just show sessions), ensure that in addition to
setting the selected item, that the item itself appears on the bottom of
the screen, rather than off screen.
This was causing rendering glitches when a very small tmux window tried
to render a list of items in choose-tree much larger than itself, and
the selected item appeared off screen, and didn't show the selection
until the selection had wrapped around to the top of the screen.
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.
