What's new in this version:

Major New Features:
- Deep tmux integration:Have you ever had an ssh session lost because you had to reboot, had a network failure, or the power went out? Are you tired of giving up a keystroke to tmux or screen? Suffer no longer! iTerm2 and tmux are now deeply integrated. By installing a special version of tmux, it gains the ability to speak directly to iTerm2. When you run tmux with -CC, iTerm2 will open real, native windows or tabs for each tmux window. The whole state of your tmux session is reflected in native iTerm2 windows. As you interact with a window, your typing is sent back to tmux. Any time you resize a window, add a split pane, close a split pane, close a window, or open a window (with Shell->tmux->new window), that action happens in tmux as well as in iTerm2.
- A "Toolbelt" has been added. It's a drawer that opens to the right of a window and shows running jobs, paste history, a field for taking notes, and lets you open new windows/tabs/splits. Look for the Toolbelt menu.
- Add "triggers." A trigger is an action that is performed when text matching some regular expression is received in a terminal session.
- Add "coprocesses." A coprocess is a process, such as a script, that receives input from a terminal and whose output is fed into the terminal session as though the user were typing it. You can use them to automate interaction with scripts, download files with ZModem, and more.
- You can now edit the smart selection regexes in Prefs>Profiles>Advanced. You can also assign actions that are added to the context menu when you right click on text that matches a smart selection rule.
- Support for OS 10.7 features including fullscreen, retina graphics, and window restoration.

New Preferences:
- Add support for tiled background images (Foy Savas)
- Add a preference to toggle hiding of the menu bar in non-Lion fullscreen. Useful in Mavericks multi-monitor setups.
- Make tabview toggleable in fullscreen.
- Add option to dim background windows.
- Add option to dim only foreground colors.
- Add UI for adjusting dimming amount.
- Add UI to make blur radius configurable.
- Add hidden pref MaxPasteHistoryEntries.
- Add preference to hide tab's activity indicator.
- Add option to draw red stripes in the background to indicate input being sent to all terminals.
- Add preference to disable dimming animation.
- Add option to profiles to send text to shell at startup.
- Add option to disable session-initiated printing.
- Add support for loading prefs from a custom folder (e.g., Dropbox) or URL. This makes it easy to share a config between multiple machines or people.
- Add auto logging of sessions. When enabled (per-profile), all input received from the host in a session is saved to a file tagged with the window, tag, and pane number, plus the time and date of initiation.
- Add next/previous pane action.
- Change around prompt-to-quit options, adding "always/never/only if jobs besides ... are running" to profiles-sessions.
- Add option to copy trailing newlines when making a selection that includes a whole line at its end.
- Add preference to disable transparency when entering fullscreen mode.
- Improve "Terminal.app Compatibility" key preset to more accurately emulate Terminal.
- You can now configure what happens when you cmd-click on a filename in Prefs>Profiles>Advanced.
- Add key action to move tab left/right.
- Add "advanced" directory settings for separate tab, window, and pane settings.
- Add preference for setting locale vars.
- Add preference to disable saving lines to the scrollback buffer while in alternate screen mode.
- Add option to always copy preferences to prefs stored in a custom folder.
- Add a new panel to prefs to make mouse actions configurable.
- Add option to make triple-click select a whole wrapped line rather than just one row.
- Add hidden option AutocompleteMaxOptions to adjust number of autocomplete entries.
- Add hidden option PasteHistoryMaxOptions to adjust number of paste history entries.
- Add hidden variable URLCharacterSet that defines characters that are part of a URL.
- Disable title reporting unless hidden pref AllowInsecureTitleReporting is set to true.
- Add general preference "Adjust window for font size change". Turn it off so that the window size stays fixed as the font grows or shrinks (thanks, keeyipchan!).
- Add hidden preference PinchToChangeFontSizeDisabled to turn off pinch to change font size
- Ask for confirmation before deleting a profile.
- Add boolean hidden pref, OpenFileInNewWindows. When you open a file (e.g., a shell script) in finder with iTerm2, this controls whether it opens in a new window or tab.
- Additional window styles: bottom and left of screen.

New Terminal Features:
- Add support for italics
- Change RIS code to move the cursor to the origin
- Convert text to NFC form more aggressively, which should lead to latin characters with accents rendering more consistently with certain fonts like Inconsolata, which lacks some combining marks
- Add ITERM_SESSION_ID environment variable that identifiers the window, tab, and pane number of each session
- Add escape code "Esc c" to reset terminal
- Add new escape code ESC ]6;1;bg;*;default^G to restore tab color to default
- Add support for reporting focus lost/gained. esc[?1004h turns it on; then the terminal sends esc[I when focusing, esc[O when de-focusing. Send esc[?1004l to disable
- Implemented bracketed paste mode
- Define VLNEXT and VDISCARD in the term by default
- Add support for the "screen" terminal's way of setting the window title
- Support SGR (1006) mouse reporting

Other Features:

- When you cmd-click on a filename in a diff, remove the a/ or b/ prefix and replace with the real directory to open the file.
- Cmd-opt click on a URL to open it without bringing the browser to the front.
- Improve "send input to all sessions", adding new modes: 1) send to all panes in current tab, 2) to all sessions in current window, and 3) to an arbitrary collection of panes (toggled with context menu).
- You can toggle send input to all tabs/panes by re-pressing the keystroke that got you into that mode.
- Draw a dotted line around maximized sessions.
- Add support for multiple saved window arrangements.
- Add decimal hex conversion to right-click context menu when a number is selected.
- Add new cmd-opt-shift-H and cmd-opt-shift-v interface for opening a split pane with a particular profile.
- Allow pinch gesture to change font size.
- Make cmd-[ and cmd-] work when a pane is maximized.
- Add "find cursor" feature (cmd-/) that highlights the cursor location. Useful when you have a huge terminal, this makes it easy to quickly find a lost cursor. If activated with the shortcut cmd-/, continuing to hold cmd will keep the highlighting active.

- Add ability to split a pane by dragging a tab into a terminal session.
- Add "move session to split pane" option to context menu.

- Add title bars to split panes that show the title. You can drag panes by their titles, and there is a menu and a close button in it as well.
- If no window is open, you can now select multiple items in the profiles and window and choose split horizontally/vertically to open a new window with the split.
- Add tab colors to view menu and tab context menu (thanks, andreax79)
- Add 'move session to window' context menu item.
- When closing a session, free its scrollback buffer in a background thread to avoid hanging.
- Alt-click moves the cursor to the click position.
- Press cmd-9 to go to the last tab.
- Add menu item to toggle broadcasting input to the current pane (make pane-by-pane toggling available to focus-follows-mouse users who couldn't open a context menu in a deselected pane)
- "Find" continues to search as new text appears.

System Integration:
- In Mavericks, when system prefs are set such that multiple screens share one space, we only hide the dock and menu when a fullscreen iTerm2 window is on the first screen.
- Handle inserting emoji text in mavericks with cmd-ctrl-space.
- Make dock and menu bar appear by moving mouse to top/bottom of screen in non-Lion fullscreen mode. Remove hold-cmd-for-tabs.

- Add proprietary escape code esc]50;ClearScrollback^G to erase screen and scrollback buffer.
- Add proprietary escape code esc]50;CurrentDir=/Path/To/Directory^G to notify iTerm2 of the current directory (so you can cmd-click on relative filenames and we'll know where they are).
- Add proprietary escape code ]50;SetProfile=X^G to set the current session's profile to the one named X.Add proprietary escape code to send text to clipboard. To use, send esc]50;CopyToClipboard=X^G followed by text followed by esc]50;EndCopy^G, where X is a clipboard name from the set: ruler, find, font, or general. If not specified, general is used.
- Add esc]50;RequestAttention=x^G, where if x=1 the dock icon bounces and if x=0 it stops.
