                  ----------------------------
                   What's new in screen-3.9 ?
                  ----------------------------

* real multiuser support
    A  window can now be displayed on more than one attached dis-
plays.
    Screen does all the necessary clipping  if  the  window  size
doesn't
    fit the display.
    New command:
      ^AF - fit the window size into the display size.

* split screen support
    A display may now host multiple windows.

* configurable window seperator and hardstatus strings
    The window (region) seperator and the hardstatus can  be  set
to an
    arbitrary string containing screen's % escape sequences.
    The  window's  hardstatus  is  just  another escape sequence,
'%h'.
    New commands:
      hardstatus string [string]
      caption string [string]
    The default strings are "%h" (hardstatus) and "%3n %t"  (cap-
tion).

* permanent window seperator
    The window seperator can be set to stay on screen even if
    the display contains only one region
    New commands:
      caption always
      caption splitonly

* many new escapes
    %c - current time HH:MM (*CHANGE*: this was %w in screen-3.7)
    %C - current time HH:MM in 24h format
    %l - the load of the system
    %h - hardstatus of the window
    %w - all window names
    %W - all window names except the current window
    %u - all other users on this window
    %? - the part to the next %? is displayed only if an escape
         expands to an nonempty string.
    %: - "else" part of %?
    Some escapes like %c may be qualified with a '0' (like %0c)
    to make screen use '0' instead of space as a filler.
    Others understand a length qualifier, like %3n.
    If escapes like the current time are used as  hardstatus/cap-
tion
    string screen will update them so that you can always have
    the current time onscreen.
    *CHANGE*  ~  is  no longer used as bell character, use ^G in-
stead!

* logfile timestamps and flush timeout
    New commands:
      logfile flush <secs>
      logtstamp [on|off]
      logtstamp string [string]
      logtstamp after [secs]

* configurable breaktype
    You can now choose one of TIOCSBRK, TCSBRK, tcsendbreak.
    New commands:
      breaktype

    '-d' is now ignored if the screen is already detached and you
    want to reattach. You can also use '-RR' to make screen use
    the first session found if more than one  session  is  avail-
able.
    Thus '-d -RR' or '-x -RR' always gets you a screen.

* support for history compaction
    You can tell screen to suppress trailing blank lines when
    scolling up text into the history buffer. (Wayne Davison)
    New command:
      compacthist

*  optional Braille support. If you can read Braille and have one
of
    the devices listed in README.DOTSCREEN, please compile with
    -DHAVE_BRAILLE and let us know if this feature is useful.
