#655 — New version of Tmux released

From the "rockin the console" dept:
Here's the news from:
http://sourceforge.net/p/tmux/tmux-code/ci/master/tree/CHANGES


CHANGES FROM 1.8 to 1.9, 20 February 2014

NOTE:  This release has bumped the tmux protocol version.  It is therefore
advised that the prior tmux server is restarted when this version of tmux is
installed, to avoid protocol mismatch errors for newer clients trying to
talk to an older running tmux server.

Incompatible Changes
====================

* 88 colour support has been removed.
* 'default-path' has been removed.  The new-window command accepts '-c' to
  cater for this.  The previous value of "." can be replaced with: 'neww -c
  $PWD', the previous value of '' which meant current path of the pane can
  be specified as:  'neww -c "#{pane_current_path}"'

Deprecated Changes
==================

* The single format specifiers:  #A -> #Z (where defined) have been
  deprecated and replaced with longer-named equivalents, as listed in the
  FORMATS section of the tmux manpage.
* The various foo-{fg,bg,attr} commands have been deprecated and replaced
  with equivalent foo-style option instead.  Currently this is still
  backwards-compatible, but will be removed over time.

Normal Changes
==============

* A new environment variable TMUX_TMPDIR is now honoured, allowing the
  socket directory to be set outside of TMPDIR (/tmp/ if not set).
* If -s not given to swap-pane the current pane is assumed.
* A #{pane_syncronized} format specifier has been added to be a conditional
  format if a pane is in a syncronised mode (c.f. syncronize-panes)
* Tmux now runs under Cygwin natively.
* Formats can now be nested within each other and expanded accordingly.
* Added 'automatic-rename-format' option to allow the automatic rename
  mechanism to use something other than the default of
  #{pane_current_command}.
* new-session learnt '-c' to specify the starting directory for that session
  and all subsequent windows therein.
* The session name is now shown in the message printed to the terminal when
  a session is detached.
* Lots more format specifiers have been added.
* Server race conditions have been fixed; in particular commands are not run
  until after the configuration file is read completely.
* Case insensitive searching in tmux's copy-mode is now possible.
* attach-session and switch-client learnt the '-t' option to accept a window
  and/or a pane to use.
* Copy-mode is only exited if no selection is in progress.
* Paste key in copy-mode is now possible to enter text from the clipboard.
* status-interval set to '0' now works as intended.
* tmux now supports 256 colours running under fbterm.
* Many bug fixes!

I've only briefly used tmux, as I usually use Screen to multiplex my
terminal.  In your opinion, would you say tmux is better, or does it
largely come down to personal taste?

I don't use either, actually.  I've decided I ought to figure out screen
on a couple of occasions, only to give up shortly after starting.  I use
the multiple virtual consoles on Linux Ctl-Alt-F1,F2,F3 etc. when I want
to run multiple console apps.  The ultimate cop-out!

If anyone knows a good tutorial for screen or tmux, I'd be interested to
know.  You know what the WWW needs these days is a good way to search
for stuff!  ;)

I can help with that.  I first learned of screen when I signed up for an 
account at sdf.lonestar.org.  They have tutorials, rather basic, for both.

http://sdf.org/?tutorials/screen

http://sdf.org/?tutorials/tmux

Maybe it's high time I give tmux a whirl...
