  - Includes comprehensive tests for all parameter types (None, empty string, string paths, PathLike objects)

  Thank you @Data5tream for the initial commit in #596!

## libtmux 0.46.1 (2025-03-16)

_Maintenance only, no bug fixes or new features_

A version branch has been created at v0.46.x, the next release of v0.47.0 may 
be a few months in waiting (watchers / snapshots are in development in #587). 

### Documentation

- Typo fix for `Pane.send_keys` (#593), thank you @subbyte!

## libtmux 0.46.0 (2025-02-25)

### Breaking

#### Imports removed from libtmux.test (#580)

Root-level of imports from `libtmux.test` are no longer possible.

```python
# Before 0.46.0
from libtmux.test import namer
```

```python
# From 0.46.0 onward
from libtmux.test.named import namer
```

Same thing with constants:

```python
# Before 0.46.0
from libtmux.test import (
  RETRY_INTERVAL_SECONDS,
  RETRY_TIMEOUT_SECONDS,
  TEST_SESSION_PREFIX
)
```

```python
# From 0.46.0 onward
from libtmux.test.constants import (
  RETRY_INTERVAL_SECONDS,
  RETRY_TIMEOUT_SECONDS,
  TEST_SESSION_PREFIX
)
```

### Development

#### Test helpers: Increased coverage (#580)

Several improvements to the test helper modules:

- Enhanced `EnvironmentVarGuard` in `libtmux.test.environment` to better handle variable cleanup
- Added comprehensive test suites for test constants and environment utilities
- Improved docstrings and examples in `libtmux.test.random` with test coverage annotations
- Fixed potential issues with environment variable handling during tests
- Added proper coverage markers to exclude type checking blocks from coverage reports

## libtmux 0.45.0 (2025-02-23)

### Breaking Changes

#### Test helpers: Refactor

Test helper functionality has been split into focused modules (#578):

- `libtmux.test` module split into:
  - `libtmux.test.constants`: Test-related constants (`TEST_SESSION_PREFIX`, etc.)
  - `libtmux.test.environment`: Environment variable mocking
  - `libtmux.test.random`: Random string generation utilities
  - `libtmux.test.temporary`: Temporary session/window management

**Breaking**: Import paths have changed. Update imports:

```python
# Old (0.44.x and earlier)
from libtmux.test import (
    TEST_SESSION_PREFIX,
    get_test_session_name,
    get_test_window_name,
    namer,
    temp_session,
    temp_window,
    EnvironmentVarGuard,
)
```

```python
# New (0.45.0+)
from libtmux.test.constants import TEST_SESSION_PREFIX
from libtmux.test.environment import EnvironmentVarGuard
from libtmux.test.random import get_test_session_name, get_test_window_name, namer
from libtmux.test.temporary import temp_session, temp_window
```

### Development

- CI: Check for runtime dependencies (#574)

  Kudos @ppentchev for inspiration on the command
  ([comment](https://github.com/tmux-python/libtmux/pull/572#issuecomment-2663642923)).

## libtmux 0.44.2 (2025-02-17)

### Bug fix

- Fix `typing_extensions` issue by wrapping it in `TYPE_CHECKING`, continuation of #564, via #572.

### Development

- Improved test organization and coverage in `test_common.py` (#570):
  - Consolidated version-related tests into parametrized fixtures using NamedTuples
  - Added comprehensive test cases for various version formats (master, next, OpenBSD, dev, rc)
  - Improved test readability with clear test IDs and logical grouping
  - Consistent use of pytest parametrize convention across test suite
- Fix broken test for `test_window_rename` (#570)

## libtmux 0.44.1 (2025-02-17)

### Packaging

- Types: Only import `typing_extensions` when necessary, via #563, @ppentchev!

## libtmux 0.44.0 (2025-02-16)

### New Features

#### Context Managers support (#566)

Added context manager support for all major object types:

- `Server`: Automatically kills the server when exiting the context
- `Session`: Automatically kills the session when exiting the context
- `Window`: Automatically kills the window when exiting the context
- `Pane`: Automatically kills the pane when exiting the context

Example usage:

```python
with Server() as server:
    with server.new_session() as session:
        with session.new_window() as window:
            with window.split() as pane:
                pane.send_keys('echo "Hello"')
                # Do work with the pane
                # Everything is cleaned up automatically when exiting contexts
```

This makes it easier to write clean, safe code that properly cleans up tmux resources.

## libtmux 0.43.0 (2025-02-15)

### New Features

#### Server Initialization Callbacks

Server now accepts 2 new optional params, `socket_name_factory` and `on_init` callbacks (#565):

- `socket_name_factory`: Callable that generates unique socket names for new servers
- `on_init`: Callback that runs after server initialization
- Useful for creating multiple servers with unique names and tracking server instances
- Socket name factory is tried after socket_name, maintaining backward compatibility

#### New test fixture: `TestServer`

Add `TestServer` pytest fixture for creating temporary tmux servers (#565):

- Creates servers with unique socket names that clean up after themselves
- Useful for testing interactions between multiple tmux servers
- Includes comprehensive test coverage and documentation
- Available in doctest namespace

### Documentation

- Fix links to the "Topics" section
- More docs for "Traversal" Topic (#567)

## libtmux 0.42.1 (2024-02-15)

### Bug fixes

- tests: Import `Self` in a `TYPE_CHECKING` guard to prevent dependency issues.
  Via #562, Thank you @ppentchev!

### Development

- dev dependencies: Include `typing-extensions` for Python version < 3.11 via
  the `testing` and `lint` groups, via #564.

## libtmux 0.42.0 (2025-02-02)

### Bug fixes

- `tmux_cmd`: Migrate to to `text=True`

  This deprecates usage of `console_to_str()` and `str_from_console()`.

  Resolves #558 via #560.

- compat: Remove `console_to_str()` and `str_from_console()`

  These are both deprecated artifacts of libtmux' Python 2.x compatiblity layer.

## libtmux 0.41.0 (2025-02-02)

### Fixes

- {meth}`Server.__repr__()`: Use {meth}`os.geteuid()` for default `socket_path`. Thank you @lazysegtree!
  (#557, resolves #556)

### Documentation

- `Server`: Fix `colors` docstring to note it accepts `88` or `256`, Thank you
  @TravisDart! (via #544)

### Development

#### chore: Implement PEP 563 deferred annotation resolution (#555)

- Add `from __future__ import annotations` to defer annotation resolution and reduce unnecessary runtime computations during type checking.
- Enable Ruff checks for PEP-compliant annotations:
  - [non-pep585-annotation (UP006)](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/non-pep585-annotation/)
  - [non-pep604-annotation (UP007)](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/non-pep604-annotation/)

## libtmux 0.35.1 (2024-03-23)

### Bug fix

- {attr}`Server.attached_sessions` fix for when multiple clients attached, thank you @patrislav1 (#537)

  - #538 fix to `QueryList`.

## libtmux 0.35.0 (2024-03-17)

### Breaking changes

- Eliminate redundant targets / `window_index`'s across codebase (#536).

## libtmux 0.34.0 (2024-03-17)

### Breaking changes

#### Command target change (#535)

Commands: All `cmd()` methods using custom or overridden targets must use the keyword argument
`target`. This avoids entanglement with inner shell values that include `-t` for
other purposes. These methods include:

- {meth}`Server.cmd()`
- {meth}`Session.cmd()`
- {meth}`Window.cmd()`
- {meth}`Pane.cmd()`

## libtmux 0.33.0 (2024-03-17)

### Breaking changes

#### Improved new sessions (#532)

- `Session.new_window()`:

  - Learned `direction`, via {class}`~libtmux.constants.WindowDirection`).
  - [PEP 3102] keyword-only arguments after window name (#534).

- Added {meth}`Window.new_window()` shorthand to create window based on that
  window's position.

[PEP 3102]: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3102/

#### Improved window splitting (#532)

- `Window.split_window()` to {meth}`Window.split()`

  - Deprecate `Window.split_window()`

- `Pane.split_window()` to {meth}`Pane.split()`

  - Deprecate `Pane.split_window()`
  - Learned `direction`, via {class}`~libtmux.constants.PaneDirection`).

    - Deprecate `vertical` and `horizontal` in favor of `direction`.

  - Learned `zoom`

#### Tweak: Pane position (#532)

It's now possible to retrieve the position of a pane in a window via a
`bool` helper::

- {attr}`Pane.at_left`
- {attr}`Pane.at_right`
- {attr}`Pane.at_bottom`
- {attr}`Pane.at_right`

### Development

- poetry: 1.7.1 -> 1.8.1

  See also: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/blob/1.8.1/CHANGELOG.md

## libtmux 0.32.0 (2024-03-01)

### Development

- ruff 0.2.2 -> 0.3.0

## libtmux 0.31.0 (2024-02-17)

### Cleanups (#527)

- Streamline `{Server,Session,Window,Pane}.cmd()`, across all usages to:
  - Use `cmd: str` as first positional
  - Removed unused keyword arguments `**kwargs`

### Renamings (#527)

- `Session.attached_window` renamed to {meth}`Session.active_window`

  - `Session.attached_window` deprecated

- `Session.attached_pane` renamed to {meth}`Session.active_pane`

  - `Session.attached_pane` deprecated

- `Window.attached_pane` renamed to {meth}`Window.active_pane`

  - `Window.attached_pane` deprecated

### Improvements (#527)

- `Server.attached_windows` now uses `QueryList`'s `.filter()`

### Documentation (#527)

- Document `.cmd` in README and quickstart
- Add doctests and improve docstrings to `cmd()` methods across:
  - {meth}`Server.cmd()`
  - {meth}`Session.cmd()`
  - {meth}`Window.cmd()`
  - {meth}`Pane.cmd()`

### Post-release: v0.31.0post0 (2024-02-17)

## libtmux 0.29.0 (2024-02-16)

#### Fixes

- Use {exc}`DeprecationWarning` for APIs set to be deprecated (#526)

#### Testing

- pytest: Ignore {exc}`DeprecationWarning` by default (#526)

## libtmux 0.28.1 (2024-02-15)

_Maintenance only, no bug fixes or new features_

#### Testing

- CI: Bump actions to node 20+ versions

#### Documentation

- Refine docs and add migration for v0.28.0

## libtmux 0.28.0 (2024-02-14)

### Breaking changes

#### Detached / unselected by default (#523)

To ensure consistency and principle of least surprise, keep these set to
not use `-a` unless explicitly specified.

Breaking: {meth}`Session.new_window()` + {meth}`Window.split_window()` no longer attaches by default.

- 0.28.0 and greater: Defaults to `attach=False`.
- 0.27.1 and below: Defaults to `attach=True`.

To keep the old behavior in 0.28.0 and beyond, pass `attach=True` explicitly.

### Improved resizing (#523)

- Breaking: `Pane.resize_pane()` renamed to {meth}`Pane.resize()` (#523)

  This convention will be more consistent with {meth}`Window.resize()`.

- Breaking: {meth}`Pane.resize()`'s params changed (#523)

  - No longer accepts `-U`, `-D`, `-L`, `-R` directly, instead accepts
    {class}`~libtmux.constants.ResizeAdjustmentDirection`).

- {meth}`Pane.resize()`:

  - Accept adjustments via `adjustment_direction` w/
    {class}`~libtmux.constants.ResizeAdjustmentDirection` + `adjustment`.

  - Learned to accept manual `height` and / or `width` (columns/rows or percentage)

  - Zoom (and unzoom)

- {meth}`Window.resize()`: Newly added

Tip: If {meth}`Pane.resize()` was not taking affect <= 0.27.1, try to resize with
{meth}`Window.resize()` first.

### Fixes

- {meth}`Window.refresh()` and {meth}`Pane.refresh()`: Refresh more underlying state (#523)
- {meth}`Obj._refresh`: Allow passing args (#523)

  e.g. `-a` (all) to `list-panes` and `list-windows`

- `Server.panes`: Fix listing of panes (#523)

  Would list only panes in attached session, rather than all in a server.

### Improvement

- Pane, Window: Improve parsing of option values that return numbers
  (#520)
- `Obj._refresh`: Allow passing `list_extra_args` to ensure `list-windows` and
  `list-panes` can return more than the target (#523)

### Tests

- pytest: Fix `usefixture` warning (#519)
- ci: Add tmux 3.4 to test matrix (#909)

## libtmux 0.27.1 (2024-02-07)

### Packaging

- Include `MIGRATION` in source distribution tarball (#517, for #508)

## libtmux 0.27.0 (2024-02-07)

### Improvement

- QueryList typings (#515)

  - This improves the annotations in descendant objects such as:

    - `Server.sessions`
    - `Session.windows`
    - `Window.panes`

  - Bolster tests (ported from `libvcs`): doctests and pytests

## libtmux 0.26.0 (2024-02-06)

### Breaking changes

- `get_by_id()` (already deprecated) keyword argument renamed from `id` to
  `Server.get_by_id(session_id)`, `Session.get_by_id(window_id)`, and `Window.get_by_id(pane_id)` (#514)

### Documentation

- Various docstring fixes and tweaks (#514)

### Development

- Strengthen linting (#514)

  - Add flake8-commas (COM)

    - https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/#flake8-commas-com
    - https://pypi.org/project/flake8-commas/

  - Add flake8-builtins (A)

    - https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/#flake8-builtins-a

  - Add flake8-errmsg (EM)

    - https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/#flake8-errmsg-em
    - https://pypi.org/project/flake8-errmsg/

### CI

- Move CodeQL from advanced configuration file to GitHub's default

## libtmux 0.25.0 (2023-11-25)

### Improvement

- `Server.__eq__`, `Session.__eq__`, `Window.__eq__`, `Pane.__eq__` now returns `False` instead of raising `AssertionError` when type mismatches (#505, #510)

  Thank you @m1guelperez for `Window.__eq__`! (#505)

### Development

### Packaging

- Move pytest configuration to `pyproject.toml` (#499)
- Poetry: 1.5.1 -> 1.6.1 (#497), 1.6.1 -> 1.7.0 (direct to trunk)

  See also: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/blob/1.7.0/CHANGELOG.md

- Packaging (poetry): Fix development dependencies

  Per [Poetry's docs on managing dependencies] and `poetry check`, we had it wrong: Instead of using extras, we should create these:

  ```toml
  [tool.poetry.group.group-name.dependencies]
  dev-dependency = "1.0.0"
  ```

  Which we now do.

  [Poetry's docs on managing dependencies]: https://python-poetry.org/docs/master/managing-dependencies/

### Development

- Move formatting from `black` to [`ruff format`] (#506)

  This retains the same formatting style of `black` while eliminating a
  dev dependency by using our existing rust-based `ruff` linter.

  [`ruff format`]: https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/formatter/

_Maintenance only, no bug fixes or new features_

### Development

- Code quality improved via [ruff] rules (#488)

  This includes fixes made by hand, and with ruff's automated fixes. Despite
  selecting additional rules, which include import sorting, ruff runs nearly
  instantaneously when checking the whole codebase.

### Post-release: v0.23.0post0 (2023-08-20)

- Fixes code comments cleaned up by `ruff`, but missed in QA. In the future,
  even when using an automated tool, we will review more thoroughly.

## libtmux 0.22.0 (2023-05-27)

_Maintenance only, no bug fixes or new features_

### Internal improvements

- Move formatting, import sorting, and linting to [ruff].

  This rust-based checker has dramatically improved performance. Linting and
  formatting can be done almost instantly.

  This change replaces black, isort, flake8 and flake8 plugins.

- poetry: 1.4.0 -> 1.5.0

  ```

  New `__repr__` (0.18+):

  ```python
  Server(socket_name=test)
  ```

## libtmux 0.17.0 (2022-12-26)

### Breaking changes (#426)

- Finding objects / relations

  - 0.16 and below: `session._windows()`, `session.list_windows()`, etc.

    0.17 and after: {attr}`session.windows <libtmux.Session.windows>`

  - 0.16 and below: `session.find_where({'window_name': my_window})`

    0.17 and after: {meth}`session.windows.get(window_name=my_window, default=None) <libtmux.Session.windows>`

    - If not found and not `default`, raises {exc}`~libtmux._internal.query_list.ObjectDoesNotExist`
    - If multiple objects found, raises {exc}`~libtmux._internal.query_list.MultipleObjectsReturned`

  - 0.16 and below: `session.where({'window_name': my_window})`

    0.17 and after: {meth}`session.windows.filter(window_name=my_window) <libtmux.Session.windows>`

- Accessing attributes

  - 0.16 and below: `window['id']`

    0.17 and after: `window.id`

  - 0.16 and below: `window.get('id')`

    0.17 and after: `window.id`

### Internal

- Remove unused `sphinx-click` development dependency

## libtmux 0.16.1 (2022-12-12)

### Fixes

- Remove reliance on `packaging.version.Version` (#461)

  This is too critical of a package to pin a dependency as it may interfere with other packages the user relies on. In addition, libtmux doesn't need strict compatibility with `packaging`.

## libtmux 0.16.0 (2022-12-10)

### Breaking changes

- Fix `distutils` warning, vendorize `LegacyVersion` (#351)

  Removal of reliancy on `distutils.version.LooseVersion`, which does not
  support `tmux(1)` versions like `3.1a`.

  Fixes warning:

  > DeprecationWarning: distutils Version classes are deprecated. Use
  > packaging.version instead.

  The temporary workaround, before 0.16.0 (assuming _setup.cfg_):

  ```ini
  [tool:pytest]
  filterwarnings =
      ignore:.* Use packaging.version.*:DeprecationWarning::
      ignore:The frontend.Option(Parser)? class.*:DeprecationWarning::
  ```

### Features

- Fixes #402: {func}`common.tmux_cmd` will only strip _trailing_ empty lines. Before this change,
  all empty lines were filtered out. This will lead to a more accurate behavior when using
  {meth}`Pane.capture_pane`. Credit: @rockandska, via #405.
- Source files for `libtmux` modules moved to `src/`, via #414.

### Development

- Add [flake8-bugbear](https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8-bugbear) (#408)

- Pytest configuration `conftest.py` moved to `libtmux/conftest.py`, so doctest can
  detect the fixtures #394

## libtmux 0.13.0 (2022-08-05)

### What's new

- **Improved typings**

  Now [`mypy --strict`] compliant (#383)

  Smaller touchups from #392

  [`mypy --strict`]: https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/command_line.html#cmdoption-mypy-strict

### Breaking changes

- Deprecated individual item lookups (#390)

  - Removed key lookups from {meth}`libtmux.common.EnvironmentMixin.show_environment`

    Only `EnvironmentMixin.show_environment()` (without an argument) exists, and
    it still returns a `dict`.

  - Add key lookups via {meth}`libtmux.common.EnvironmentMixin.getenv`

    ```python
    # Before
    server.show_environment('DISPLAY')

    # After
    server.getenv('DISPLAY')

    # Before
    session.show_environment('DISPLAY')

    # After
    session.getenv('DISPLAY')
    ```

  - Removed key lookups from {meth}`Session.show_options`

    ```python
    session.show_options()  # still returns dict, without an argument

    # Old
    session.show_options('DISPLAY')

    # Now
    session.show_option('DISPLAY')
    ```

  - Removed key lookups from {meth}`Window.show_window_options`

    ```python
    window.show_window_options()  # still returns dict, without an argument

    # Old
    window.show_window_options('DISPLAY')

    # Now
    window.show_window_option('DISPLAY')
    ```

- Remove `libtmux.test.retry()`, deprecated since 0.12.x (#393)

### Development

- Fix incorrect function name `findWhere()` (#391)

## libtmux 0.12.0 (2022-07-13)

### Compatibility

- Brought back python 3.7 and 3.8 support (#375)
- Support for tmux 3.3a

  - Add to CI
  - Bump `TMUX_MAX_VERSION` from 2.4 -> 3.3

    _2.4 to 3.3a already worked, this is just the constant
    being updated._

### Development

- Remove tox and tox-poetry-installer

  This created issues with running poetry while inside the virtualenv.

- Typings: Core relations, e.g. `Pane.window`, `Pane.session`, `Pane.server`, `Window.server` #385

### Documentation

- Renewed logo
- Try out sphinx-autoapi for its table of contents generation (#367)
- Break up API documentations for utilities, exception, and test helpers and
  remove duplicate docs from API page. Server, session, window, and pane docs
  are in the Reference section now.

### Testing

- `retry()`: Add deprecation warning. This will be removed in 0.13.x (#368, #372)
- New function `retry_until()`: Polls a callback function for a set period of time until it returns `True` or times out. By default it will raise {exc}`libtmux.exc.WaitTimeout`, with `raises=False` it will return `False`. Thank you @categulario! (#368, #372)
- #384 Chore: Use absolute modules rather than root-level to avoid cyclic imports.

  ```python
  # Bad / Old
  from libtmux import Server

  # Good / New
  from libtmux.server import Server
  ```

### Internals

- #382 [mypy] support added:

  - Basic mypy tests now pass

## libtmux 0.11.0 (2022-03-10)

### Compatibility

- Python 3.7 and 3.8 returns in 0.12.0

  ~~Final python 3.7 and 3.8 release~~

  ~~Fixes and security updates will go to
  [`v0.11.x`](https://github.com/tmux-python/libtmux/tree/v0.11.x)~~

- Internal: Use new separator to split `tmux(1)` formatting information (#289,
  #343)

  The separator is configurable via `LIBTMUX_TMUX_FORMAT_SEPARATOR`. If you ever
  have compatibility issues in the future let us know which default works best
  across versions.
