As Nicholas has mentioned, this isn't going to happen now, since I'm about to cut a release for 1.8. The code that's going out the door with version 1.8 has had a settling-in period of some time now, and there's no perceived breakages which we know about which makes 1.8 unattainable. But adding in your changes now -- even by delaying 1.8 by a few days -- simply is not an option. We would need much more time to ensure new code isn't going to introduce bugs, and I don't want that. I don't want to have to release 1.9 because of something which could have waited. So no. You're going to have to wait. As to the subject of your patches though (and thanks for hijacking this thread, BTW): > and then again couple of months back should really really be in the next > point release, namely: > - renaming mode-mouse to mouse-copy-mode (multiple incidents of > confusion because of the too-general name) Why is the name changing anyway? Point me at a thread I can go back and read again, by all means. To do this "properly", we'd have to maintain a separate deprecation table to perform old->new command-name lookups to ensure people's configurations do not break. This adds code-bloat for no real reason, and whilst I can understand there's a few naming-nits with some commands, we're by-and-large stuck with what we have. We are making more of an effort with new commands, to either add additional options to existing commands (c.f. "-r" to "move-window"), or not require them at all, and mark the behaviour as default. > - pane-active-border-mark option to indicate current pane (as an option > to the horrible half-line indicator that was committed 12 days ago) Opinions notwithstanding, it seems as though this is just another variant on this half-border solution. I don't care either way, but the half-border solution has been chosen for now. > - mouse wheel scrolling emulation (yes, it is ready since long) > - fix of unwanted side effects of new osdep_get_cwd() behaviour What is this new osdep_get_cwd() change and how has it affectef your scrolling wheel patch? -- Thomas Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel® Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
