Signature types: [`Text`](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/text-2.1.3/docs/Data-Text.html#t:Text), [`Either`](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.22.0.0/docs/Data-Either.html#t:Either), [`VersionError`](/en/haskell/latest/reference/libtmux-version-t-versionerror/), [`TmuxVersion`](/en/haskell/latest/reference/libtmux-version-t-tmuxversion/).

Parse a stable release or the output of `tmux -V`, allowing one final LF.
 Development builds and trailing data are rejected rather than assigned
 capabilities from a guessed stable version. Diagnostics retain at most 64 chars.
