Migration and deprecation notes for libtmux are here, see {ref}changelog as
well.
1. 📌 For safety, **always** pin the package
2. 📖 Check the migration notes _(You are here)_
3. 📣 If you feel something got deprecated and it interrupted you - past, present, or future - voice your opinion on the [tracker].
We want to make libtmux fun, reliable, and useful for users.
API changes can be painful.
If we can do something to draw the sting, we'll do it. We're taking a balanced approach. That's why these notes are here!
(Please pin the package. 🙏)
