Notes from UPDATING
These upgrade notes are taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING
  • 2025-12-01
    Affects: users of sysutils/tmux
    Author: jrm@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      tmux must be restarted after upgrading.  This is particularly
      important with version 3.6 because one of the libraries that tmux uses
      has changed its protocol.  If you see the following message when you
      try to attach, it likely means you forgot to restart tmux:
    
      open terminal failed: not a terminal
