* 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
