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).
are now wrapped up in prompt*.c and do not depend on a client. These
functions are used to provide the original client prompt but also to
allow panes to have their own prompts, which works much much better for
floating panes. The mode prompts for both the tree modes and copy mode
are switched over to be per pane.
There are some visible changes (some of these may be changed if they
don't seem to be working well):
- Prompts in modes now appear in the bottom line, covering whatever
content was there.
- command-prompt has a -P flag to open a pane prompt.
- Because they cover the content, the default style for prompts in modes
now does not fill the entire line; the main command prompt stays the
same.
- The old completion menu has gone, and completions are now shown after
the text. Builtin aliases are no longer completed.
- Clicking the mouse on the prompt now moves the cursor or selects a
completion.
option has the following modes: off, default (tmux's normal line
numbering where 0 is the top visible line), absolute (first line in
history is 1), relative (relative to the cursor) and hybrid (current
line is absolute, others relative). Also adds
copy-mode-line-number-style and copy-mode-current-line-number-style to
set the style of the line numbers. When copy mode is entered with the
mouse, line numbers stay off.

than replacing the entire line. A new message-format option now controls
the entire message (like status-format). From Conor Taylor in GitHub

always interpret VS16 as a wide character and assume the terminal does
likewise. This is behaviour seen in a number of newer terminals' Unicode
14 support but not in older terminals; it seems to be a little
contentious and is currently difficult to detect.
Probably in the long run tmux should pick a behaviour, look at a (new)
terminfo(5) capability to tell it what the terminal will do, and emulate
as required, but at this point I'm not sure that is worth it for
something where support is mixed, seems to be in flux, and that mostly
only matters for emojis.

not themselves support the escape sequence. Written by Jonathan

pane-scrollbars turn them on or off, pane-scrollbars-position sets the
position (left or right), and pane-scrollbars-style to set the colours.
Mouse support will come later. From Michael Grant in GitHub issue 4221.
