+ ----------------------------
+ What's new in screen-3.6 ?
+ ----------------------------
+
+* Input translation! This makes the vt100 emulation complete.
+ As an addition it is now possible to bind any command to any
+ (function-) key. See the man page for more details (bindkey
+ command).
+
+* Status line support. Each window can have a different status line.
+ Use the ANSI APC string to set the status line, i.e.:
+ <ESC>_<status string><ESC>\
+ (For convenience the xterm sequence is also accepted.)
+ You may want to add
+ termcap * '' ':hs:ts=\E_:fs=\E\\:ds=\E_\E\\:'
+ terminfo * '' ':hs:ts=\E_:fs=\E\\:ds=\E_\E\\:'
+ to your ~/.screenrc to make screen advertise the hardstatus
+ support.
+
+* Zombie feature added. Windows now may generate a message (with a
+ timestamp) if they die and stay around until the user presses
+ a key.
+
+* New paste syntax: Paste can now concatenate registers and paste
+ either on screen or in another register.
+ This makes the old "ins_reg", "copy_reg" commands obsolete.
+
+* More architectures supported. Screen now runs on AIX3.2.5,
+ Solaris, NeXT and some other exotic platforms.
+
+* Kanji support added. Screen understands JIS, EUC and SJIS coding.
+ This is an experimental feature.
+
+* GR charset switching (ISO 2022) implemented. Can be enabled with
+ the "gr" command.
+
+* C1 sequences implemented (see the "c1" command).
+
+* Tek support from Xiaoguang Zhang. Apply tek.patch if you want to
+ make screen pass tek sequences.
+
+* List of new commands:
+ bindkey, c1, command, defc1, defgr, defkanji, gr, kanji, mapdefault,
+ mapnotnext, maptimeout, pastefont, printcmd, readreg, stuff, zombie
+
+* Lots of other bugs fixed.
