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.

separate options, prefix and prefix2. This simplifies the code and gets
rid the data options type which was only used for this one option.
Also add a -2 flag to send-prefix to send the secondary prefix key,
fixing a cause of minor irritation.
People who want three prefix keys are out of luck :-).
fire-and-forget.
Status jobs now managed with two trees of output (new and old), rather
than storing the output in the jobs themselves. When the status line is
processed any jobs which don't appear in the new tree are started and
the output from the old tree displayed. When a job finishes it updates
the new tree with its output and that is used for any subsequent
redraws. When the status interval expires, the new tree is moved to the
old so that all jobs are run again.
This fixes the "#(echo %H:%M:%S)" problem which would lead to thousands
of identical persistent jobs and high memory use (this can still be
achieved by adding "sleep 30" but that is much less likely to happen by
accident).
Originally, tmux commands were parsed in the client process into a
struct with the command data which was then serialised and sent to the
server to be executed. The parsing was later moved into the server (an
argv was sent from the client), but the parse step and intermediate
struct was kept.
This change removes that struct and the separate parse step. Argument
parsing and printing is now common to all commands (in arguments.c) with
each command left with just an optional check function (to validate the
arguments at parse time), the exec function and a function to set up any
key bindings (renamed from the old init function).
This is overall more simple and consistent.
There should be no changes to any commands behaviour or syntax although
as this touches every command please watch for any unexpected changes.
values) together into one set of tables in options-table.c. Also clean
up and simplify cmd-set-options.c and move a common print function into
option-table.c.
- server option "exit-unattached" makes the server exit when no clients
are attached, even if sessions are present;
- session option "destroy-unattached" destroys a session once no clients
are attached to it.
These are useful for preventing tmux remaining in the background where
it is undesirable and when using tmux as a login shell to keep a limit
on new sessions.
window. Set and displayed with "set -s" and "show -s".
Currently the only option is "quiet" (like command-line -q, allowing it to be
set from .tmux.conf), but others will come along.

set -w and show -w.
Note: setw and showw are still there, but now aliases for set -w and show -w.
exists. A new message-limit session option sets the maximum number of entries
and a command, show-messages, shows the log (bound to ~ by default).
This (and prompt history) might be better as a single global log but until
there are global options it is easier for them to be per client.

Fixes problems with changing options from inside #().
immediately every redraw, queue them up and run them in the background,
starting each once every status-interval. The actual status line uses the
output from the last run.
This brings several advantages:
- tmux itself may be called from inside #() without causing the server to hang;
- likewise, sleep or similar doesn't cause the server to block;
- commands aren't run excessively often when redrawing;
- commands shared by status-left and status-right, or used multiple times, will
only be run once.
run-shell and if-shell still use system()/popen() but will be changed over to
use this too later.
the lock-server option (it is on by default). When this is off, each session
locks when it has been idle for the lock-after-time setting. When on, the
entire server locks when ALL sessions have been idle for their individual
lock-after-time settings.
This replaces one global-only option (lock-after-time) with another
(lock-server), but the default behaviour is usually preferable so there don't
seem to be many alternatives.
Diff/idea largely from Thomas Adam, tweaked by me.
command specified by a new option "lock-command" (by default "lock -np") in
each client.
This means each terminal has to be unlocked individually but simplifies the
code and allows the system password to be used to unlock.
Note that the set-password command is gone, so it will need to be removed from
configuration files, and the -U command line flag has been removed.
This is the third protocol version change so again it is best to stop the tmux
server before upgrading.
to be used as a login shell inside tmux, so add a default-shell session option.
This sets the shell invoked as a login shell when the default-command option is
empty.
The default option value is whichever of $SHELL, getpwuid(getuid())'s pw_shell
or /bin/sh is valid first.
Based on a diff from martynas@, changed by me to be a session option rather
than a window option.
within tmux.
There is a global environment, copied from the external environment when the
server is started and each sesssion has an (initially empty) session
environment which overrides it.
New commands set-environment and show-environment manipulate or display the
environments.
A new session option, update-environment, is a space-separated list of
variables which are updated from the external environment into the session
environment every time a new session is created - the default is DISPLAY.
