- ----------------------------
- What's new in screen-3.5 ?
- ----------------------------
-
-
-* Texinfo manpage! Thanks to Jason Merrill.
-
-* Screen now has a very large 'configure' script. If you have
- problems with the resulting configuration please send mail to
- screen@uni-erlangen.de.
-
-* Stackable overlay planes.
- All commands are available even if you work with an overlay. Thus
- you can be in copy/paste mode on several windows!
-
-* Unification of key bindings and screen commands. All keys now generate
- commands.
-
-* Screen now reads/writes only in asyncronous mode.
-
-* Ansi parser speedup code resulting in much faster output of text.
-
-* Changed the rc file syntax. Commands now directly affect the current
- window. The default settings are changed with 'def...' commands.
- The 'set' keyword no longer exists.
- Please run the 'newsyntax' script on your old screenrc files!
-
-* Emacs style isearch added to copy mode. Try ^A ESC ^R screen ^R ^R
- to locate the last three occurences of the word 'screen' in the
- history buffer.
-
-* New command 'silence'. Alarms the user whenever there was inactivity
- for a specified amount of time on a certain window.
- Useful if you want to wait for a compilation to end.
-
-* Much better margin handling:
- Screen now handles autowrapped lines correctly in the redisplay and
- copy/paste functions.
-
-* New commands for pastebuffer management:
- 'copy_reg' copies the pastebuffer to a register,
- 'ins_reg' pastes a register,
- 'register' fills a register with a string,
- 'process' stuffs a register into strings input queue.
-
-* Autonuke feature. Flush the output buffer if the window gets
- cleared. Enable this with 'autonuke on'.
-
-* Modifications to save memory: Empty attribute and font lines don't
- get allocated. This is very useful if you have a lage scrollback.
-
-* Multi display support:
- You can now attach from more than one terminal to a session with
- the '-x' option.
-
-* New option '-S' to specify socket name.
-
-* Experimental multiuser support added:
- You can start screen in multiuser Mode by prepending the socket
- name with a '/' (or by the command 'multiuser on').
- If another user wants to attach to the screen session, he can do
- this by prepending the socketname with 'screenuser/'.
- Of course he must be in the access control list for a successful
- attach (see the acladd/acldel command).
-
-* Extension to the 'screen' command: You can now specify tty lines
- instead of programs. This can be used for console management.
- Added the command 'break' to send a break to the tty line.
- Not really a new feature, but terminal initialisation now works
- on suns.
-
-* Input/output filters added. This has been implemented to allow the
- user to configure an open tty line, but got soon exended to allow
- all sorts of filters. For more information read the explanation
- of the 'exec' command in the man page and check the 'fdpat.ps'
- document.
-
-* Screen can now be started detached (screen -d -m -S sockname).
- This is usefull if you want to start screen in your /etc/rc file
- (e.g. as a console multiplexer)
-
-* Console grabbing added ('console on' command).
-
-* Windows can now be selected by akas, too. (Per default bound to the
- >'< key.)
-
-* New terminal capabiliteise CS/CE for cursorkey control.
-
-* setenv/unsetenv commands added.
-
-* Expansion of environment variables ($VAR) and terminal capabilities
- ($:TC:) in the screenrc files and detach messages.
- Example: pow_detach_msg "Session of \$LOGNAME \$:cr:\$:nl:ended."
-
-* New commands:
- 'hardcopydir' and 'logdir' to change the output directories,
- 'partial' and 'allpartial' to make screen only refresh the line
- containing the cursor if a window is selected (useful for slow
- modem connections).
-
-* Cleanup of the provided termcap/terminfo file. Please install
- the new one!
-
-* The program 'terminfo/checktc.c' does a visual check of a
- termcap/terminfo entry. Please try it before calling screen and
- in a screen session.
-
-* LOTS of bugfixes and code cleanup.
-
-Thanks to all the beta testers who helped porting screen to at least
-the following platforms: Ultrix, SunOS, Solaris, BSD43, linux, NEWSOS,
-Irix, OSF/1, Harris CX/UX, hpux, dynix/ptx, AIX.
-And even more thanks to the brave who attempted to use the 'exec'
-command features.
