Hi Romain,

Is a tmux client from bookworm able to connect to a server from trixie?

In https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1035401

it was requested that the release notes suggest doing the upgrade in tmux (
in preference/as an alternagive to screen, which has been suggested for
many years).

In this  discussion
<https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/-/merge_requests/213#note_564886>
on
salsa it's been queried whether tmux retains enough compatibility to make
this a good idea.


https://salsa.debian.org/rfrancoise/tmux/-/blob/master/debian/NEWS?ref_type=heads
says this was an issue in 2020, but does not have anything recent.


What's your view of this a) for trixie and b) for future releases?


ps - thanks for maintaining tmux
