struct io.github.libtmux.TmuxVersion.TmuxVersion

A released tmux version, ordered the way tmux releases are.

tmux numbers a patch release with a letter rather than a third number: 3.7a follows 3.7, and 3.2a follows 3.2. Comparing the text alone gets that wrong in both directions, and a feature gate that gets it wrong reads a format the running tmux does not have.

Between releases, tmux reports itself as next-M.m: a development build tracking toward the release named, not that release itself. It has everything the previous release shipped and nothing later's patches guarantee, so it sorts strictly between the two — above every patch of the release before it, below the release it names and every patch of that.

A release candidate, 3.8-rc, compares equal to the release it names. tmux freezes features at the candidate, so it has everything the release will and differs only in fixes — measured, not assumed: a 3.8 candidate writes JSON layouts and empties a dead pane's pid exactly as 3.8 does, and a feature gated on 3.8 works on it. It is not equals to the release, and it is written back exactly as tmux wrote it, which matters beyond display: every capture is fenced on the version tmux reports, and a candidate printed as 3.8 failed that fence on every read.
