* 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...' com-
mands.
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 inac-
tivity
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
do
this by prepending the socketname with 'screenuser/'.
Of course he must be in the access control list for a success-
ful
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 al-
low
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 ($VAR) and terminal capabil-
ities
($:TC:) in the screenrc files and detach messages.
Example: pow_detach_msg "Session of OGNAME 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
Man(1) output converted with
