additional payload (to reduce problems with lifetime of objects) and are
delivered to one or more event sinks. This is more powerful and reduces the
complex dependencies between control mode and hooks. Events are now used for
hooks, control mode notifications and for monitors (set-hook -B).
wait-for can now wait for an event to fire (-E flag, with -F to for filter),
with -v to print the payload, as well as listing (-l) waiting clients on an
event and forcing one to wake (-w).
A few additional hooks are also now available (pane-created, pane-resized, etc)
and some of the existing ones have additional format variables available.
replaces the previous "modal" behaviour where the pane would be resized,
which tended to make a mess. Instead, the scrollbar appears when
scrolling or when hovered over with the mouse and disappears a
(configurable) short period later. From Michael Grant.
or more colours. Currently based these on emacs but they could change.
Terminals with fewer colours use the ANSI colours. A new "theme" option
overrides the detected theme (set to "terminal" to go back to ANSI
colours).
is generated and cached in the client: it holds positions and sizes of
panes, borders and so on. The scene is invalidated when a pane is moved
or resized or relevant option is changed. This scene is then drawn to
the client as needed and text and colours are filled in. With Michael
Grant.

pane-scrollbars turn them on or off, pane-scrollbars-position sets the

which allows formats to be expanded. Any styles without a '#{' are still
validated when they are set but any with a '#{' are not. Formats are not
expanded usefully in many cases yet, that will be changed later.
To make this work, a few other changes:
- set-option -a with a style option automatically appends a ",".
- OSC 10 and 11 don't set the window-style option anymore, instead the
fg and bg are stored in the pane struct and act as the defaults that
can be overridden by window-style.
- status-fg and -bg now override status-style instead of trying to keep
them in sync.
there should be no change to existing behaviour) and are set and shown
with set-option -p and show-options -p.
Change remain-on-exit and window-style/window-active-style to be pane
options (some others will be changed later).
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.
multiple commands to be easily bound to one hook. set-hook and
show-hooks remain but they are now variants of set-option and
show-options. show-options now has a -H flag to show hooks (by default
they are not shown).
