3.7a

The attached patch updates tmux to 3.7a. I've been dogfooding it and it's been working well for me, though I don't do anything particularly fancy with tmux (i.e. I can only vouch for the core terminal-muxing behaviour).

Lots of cool changes in 3.7, including a half-baked floating window implementation and line numbers (that don't get copied) in copy mode: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tmux/tmux/3.7a/CHANGES
Comment 1 Joseph Mingrone freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-07-01 19:06:30 UTC 
Given the last update when the release was rerolled, I decided to wait a few days for the dust to settle.  This seems to have been the right decision, given 3.7b was just released.  I plan to wait until tomorrow before pushing 3.7b.
Comment 2 Adam Weinberger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-07-01 19:16:08 UTC 
Wow, yeah good call!
Comment 3 Joseph Mingrone freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-07-01 19:29:06 UTC 
My last message was unclear.  If you want to track this and update to 3.7b (or any subsequent 3.7 bug-fix release that only bumps PORTREVISION), feel free to push.  You might consider waiting at least a few hours, though.
Comment 4 Adam Weinberger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-07-01 19:41:13 UTC 
Thanks, Joe. I'll give it at least day or two, if you're good with that timing? By "push" do you mean update this PR? Or commit it?
Comment 5 Joseph Mingrone freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-07-01 19:52:49 UTC 
Sounds good.  I mean commit it (push your local commit to git@gitrepo.freebsd.org:ports.git).

Committed. Thanks, Joe!

I have to say, even in its initial state, the new floating window (prefix-*) is pretty cool (you can click and drag the border to move the window around). I can see that changing my workflow for all the times I split a pane just to check a thing or run a single command.
Comment 8 Joseph Mingrone freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-07-03 18:24:25 UTC 
(In reply to Adam Weinberger from comment #7)
Agreed.  I've been running it for a few days, and I think I'll end up using it quite a bit.
