+#### Minimum `libtmux~=0.57.1` (was `~=0.56.0`) (#1043)
+
+The libtmux bump pulls in the 0.57.x command-coverage and client-awareness releases. Scripts launched through {ref}`tmuxp-shell` can now work with attached-client objects and use tmux-native filtering to query sessions, windows, and panes without manual post-filtering.
+
 ## tmuxp 1.68.0 (2026-05-10)
 
 tmuxp 1.68.0 refreshes the documentation stack and developer workflow for the next release train. The docs now sit on the shared [gp-sphinx](https://gp-sphinx.git-pull.com/) platform, the API pages pick up the newer gp-furo visual language, and the test suite avoids paying for each contributor's interactive shell startup. The release also raises the libtmux floor so {ref}`tmuxp-shell` users can script against the expanded tmux command wrapper surface.
