there should be no change to existing behaviour) and are set and shown

Change remain-on-exit and window-style/window-active-style to be pane

This makes select-pane -P and -g unnecessary so no longer document them
(they still work) and no longer document set-window-option and
show-window-options in favour of set-option -w and show-options -w.

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.

show-hooks remain but they are now variants of set-option and

they are not shown).
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.

been a limitation for a long time.
There are two new options, window-size and default-size, and a new
command, resize-window. The force-width and force-height options and the
session_width and session_height formats have been removed.
The new window-size option tells tmux how to work out the size of
windows: largest means it picks the size of the largest session,
smallest the smallest session (similar to the old behaviour) and manual
means that it does not automatically resize windows. The default is
currently largest but this may change. aggressive-resize modifies the
choice of session for largest and smallest as it did before.
If a window is in a session attached to a client that is too small, only
part of the window is shown. tmux attempts to keep the cursor visible,
so the part of the window displayed is changed as the cursor moves (with
a small delay, to try and avoid excess redrawing when applications
redraw status lines or similar that are not currently visible). The
offset of the visible portion of the window is shown in status-right.
Drawing windows which are larger than the client is not as efficient as
those which fit, particularly when the cursor moves, so it is
recommended to avoid using this on slow machines or networks (set
window-size to smallest or manual).
The resize-window command can be used to resize a window manually. If it
is used, the window-size option is automatically set to manual for the
window (undo this with "setw -u window-size"). resize-window works in a
similar way to resize-pane (-U -D -L -R -x -y flags) but also has -a and
-A flags. -a sets the window to the size of the smallest client (what it
would be if window-size was smallest) and -A the largest.
For the same behaviour as force-width or force-height, use resize-window
-x or -y, and "setw -u window-size" to revert to automatic sizing..
If the global window-size option is set to manual, the default-size
option is used for new windows. If -x or -y is used with new-session,
that sets the default-size option for the new session.
The maximum size of a window is 10000x10000. But expect applications to
complain and much higher memory use if making a window excessively
big. The minimum size is the size required for the current layout
including borders.
The refresh-client command can be used to pan around a window, -U -D -L
-R moves up, down, left or right and -c returns to automatic cursor
tracking. The position is reset when the current window is changed.
intended as the target client where the message should be displayed but
at some point (perhaps when -p was added), it was used for format
expansion too. This means it can get a bit weird where you have client
formats expanding for a client with a different current session than the
target session.
However, it is nice that display-message can be used to show information
about a specific client. So change so that the -c client will be used if
the session matches the target session (-t or default), otherwise the
best client will be chosen.

colour ("true" or "direct" colour). These consist of new entries (such
as "xterm-direct") which have a different setaf/setab implementation,
colors and pairs set to 0x1000000 and 0x10000, and a new RGB flag.
The setaf/setab definitions seem to be geared towards what ncurses (or
emacs maybe) needs, in that the new versions do only ANSI and RGB
colours (they can't be used for the 256 colour palette); they rely on
the silly ISO colon-separated version of SGR; and they use a weird
multiplication scheme so they still only need one argument. The higher
values of colors and pairs require a recent ncurses to parse.
tmux can use the RGB flag to detect RGB colour support (keeping the old
Tc extension for backwards compatibility for now). However, as we still
want to send 256 colour information unchanged when possible, the new
setaf/setab are awkward. So when RGB is present, reserve setaf/setab
only for ANSI colours and use the escape sequences directly for 256 and
RGB colours. (To my knowledge no recent terminal uses unusual escape
sequences for these in any case.)
background is default (8), introduce an explicit free function and use
it where a free alone is needed. Likewise, use memmove directly rather
than grid_move_lines where it makes sense. Based on a memory leak fix by
Dan Aloni in GitHub issue 1051.
- remove the bell-on-alert option;
- add activity-action and silence-action options with the same possible
values as the existing bell-action;
- add "both" value for the visual-bell, visual-activity and

This means all three work the same way. Based on changes from Yvain Thonnart.

unchanged, because it may have changed and changed back in the time
between us getting the signal and calling ioctl(). Always redraw when we
see SIGWINCH.
until the end of the server loop, tmux may have gone through several
internal resizes in between. This can be a problem if the final size is
the same as the initial size (what the application things it currently
is), because the application may choose not to redraw, assuming the
screen state is unchanged, when in fact tmux has thrown away parts of
the screen, assuming the application will redraw them.
To avoid this, do an extra resize if the new size is the same size as
the initial size. This should force the application to redraw when tmux
needs it to, while retaining the benefits of deferring (so we now resize
at most two times instead of at most one - and only two very rarely).
Fixes a problem with break-pane and zoomed panes reported by Michal
Mazurek.
some modern features.
Now the common code is in mode-tree.c, which provides an API used by the
three modes now separated into window-{buffer,client,tree}.c. Buffer
mode shows buffers, client mode clients and tree mode a tree of
sessions, windows and panes.
Each mode has a common set of key bindings plus a few that are specific
to the mode. Other changes are:
- each mode has a preview pane: for buffers this is the buffer content
(very useful), for others it is a preview of the pane;
- items may be sorted in different ways ('O' key);
- multiple items may be tagged and an operation applied to all of them
(for example, to delete multiple buffers at once);
- in tree mode a command may be run on the selected item (session,
window, pane) or on tagged items (key ':');
- displayed items may be filtered in tree mode by using a format (this
is used to implement find-window) (key 'f');
- the custom format (-F) for the display is no longer available;
- shortcut keys change from 0-9, a-z, A-Z which was always a bit weird
with keys used for other uses to 0-9, M-a to M-z.
Now that the code is simpler, other improvements will come later.
Primary key bindings for each mode are documented under the commands in
the man page (choose-buffer, choose-client, choose-tree).
