Thomas Adam c612f35fd8 Merge remote-tracking branch 'refs/remotes/tmux-openbsd/master'
* refs/remotes/tmux-openbsd/master:
  build tmux with debug symbols, ok claudio nicm
  If no floating panes, reset default starting position, and reset if any part of the pane goes outside the window.
  Empty string for invalid old-style formats causes old iTerm2 versions to crash, so emit "0000," instead.
  Fix session_*_flag format variables which loop over the windows (they should only be false if all windows do not have the flag, not the first one). GitHub issue 5599.
  Do not loop forever if someone tries to give WCHAR_MAX a width, GitHub issue 5602.
  Expand -c for run-shell like the other -c flags, reported by Saúl Nogueras.
  Reset layout manually instead of calling window_unzoom which can go down the notification path and end up double freeing the pane (this was previously removed in 2015 but added back to fix a problem with late destroy - this is a better fix). GitHub issue 5591 from Romain Francoise.

Welcome to tmux!

tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be created,
accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a
screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.

This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, macOS and Solaris.

* Dependencies

tmux depends on libevent 2.x, available from:

	https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/latest

It also depends on ncurses, available from:

	https://invisible-mirror.net/archives/ncurses/

To build tmux, a C compiler (for example gcc or clang), make, pkg-config and a
suitable yacc (yacc or bison) are needed.

* Installation

To build and install tmux from a release tarball, use:

	$ ./configure && make
	$ sudo make install

tmux can use the utempter library to update utmp(5), if it is installed - run
configure with --enable-utempter to enable this.

To get and build the latest from version control - note that this requires
autoconf, automake and pkg-config:

	$ git clone https://github.com/tmux/tmux.git
	$ cd tmux
	$ sh autogen.sh
	$ ./configure && make
	$ sudo make install

* Contributing

Bug reports, feature suggestions and especially code contributions are most
welcome. Please send by email to:

Or open a GitHub issue or pull request.

* Documentation

For documentation on using tmux, see the tmux.1 manpage. View it from the
source tree with:

	$ nroff -mdoc tmux.1|less

A small example configuration is in example_tmux.conf.

Other documentation is available in the wiki:

For debugging, run tmux with -v and -vv to generate server and client log files
in the current directory.
