The 3.5 CHANGES file is here.
Before I wrote the change list I thought it would be relatively short, but in fact there are quite a lot of changes, almost all contributed by other people. So thanks to all of them!
The major change in this release is improved support for extended keys, thanks to Stanislav Kljuhhin. This moves tmux much closer to xterm's implementation of the feature for the mode 1 key encoding and adds support for mode 2. The extended-keys option remains, but if it is on or always then tmux will now turn on mode 2 by default rather than mode 1; applications may now request mode 2 - emacs does so, and I believe neovim as well. A new option extended-keys-format allows CSI u format to be selected, similar to xterm's formatOtherKeys resource.
I also want to note here that tmux is a small, volunteer project and my time is often relatively limited, so as I of course much appreciate bug reports and particularly code contributions, I also appreciate patience if it takes a while to deal with them!
Note that as always due to limited time patch releases will only appear due to security issues or immediately obvious or showstopper bugs, so I encourage everyone to test the master branch ahead of the next release where they can.
