+ New Commands:
+ * 'unbindall' to unbind all commands
+ * 'up', 'down', 'left', 'right' sub-commands for 'focus'
+ * 'rendition' to specify rendition to use in caption/hardstatus for window-names that have bell/monitor/silence/so turned on.

+ - 'dump'
+ * 'group' for moving window(s) into a group.
+ * 'defmousetrack' and 'mousetrack', to turn on/off mouse-tracking for
+ displays. It's turned off by default. With mouse-tracking turned on, it's
+ possible to switch to a region ('focus') using mouse clicks. It's also
+ possible to select a text region in copy-mode using a mouse click to place
+ a mark and the scroll wheel to scroll through the buffer. Additional
+ features might be to allow clicking on window-titles in the caption to
+ switch to that window.
+ * All commands prefixed '@' are treated as 'quiet', i.e. '@'-prefixed commands
+ do not trigger any display messages.
+
+ Changed Commands:
+ * '-v' parameter to 'split' command for vertical splits.
+ * 'sorendition' deprecated in favour of 'rendition so'.
+ * 'digraph' can take a second parameter to specify custom digraphs. For
+ example,
+ 'digraph >= ≥' or 'digraph >= U+2265'
+ Using '0' as the second parameter will remove the digraph.
+ * 'stuff' will prompt for input if there's nothing to stuff.
+ * The argument to ":number" can be prefixed with '+' or '-' to use it as a
+ relative argument.
+ * '-g' parameter to 'windowlist' to show nested list of windows.
+ * '//group' parameter to 'screen' to create a grouped window.
+ * 'blankerprg' shows the currently set command on no argument.
+ * 'maxwin' can now be used to increase the number of maximum windows.
+
+ .screenrc:
+ * $PID expands to the PID of the screen session.
+ * $PWD expands to the current working directory of the session.
+ * $STY expands to the session name.
+ * Tilde-expansion in pathnames (e.g. for the 'source' command)
+ * C-style escapes can be used (e.g. "\n" to get a newline with 'stuff')
+ * '%p' in caption/hardstatus string expands to the PID of the backend, and
+ '%+p' expands to the PID of the frontend (display).
+ * '%S' in caption/hardstatus string expands to the session name.
+ * '%P' in the caption string evaluates to true if the region is in copy mode.
+ * '%E' in the caption string evaluates to true if the escape character has
+ currently been pressed.
+
+ Window List:
+ * Nested views when there are window groups (with 'windowlist -g').
+ * Press 'm' to toggle the most-recent view.
+ * Press 'g' to toggle nestedness.
+ * Press 'a' to view all windows in the list.
+ * Press '/' to search in the list.
+ * Press ',' and '.' to re-order windows in the list.
+ * Press 'K' to kill a window (requires confirmation).
+
+ Display List:
+ * Press 'd' to detach a display, 'D' to power-detach.
+
+ Others:
+ * Start using 'ChangeLog' for logging changes again.
+ * Terminfo update for 256-color support.
+ * Multiple input history (partially from Romain Francoise).
+ * vi-like fFtT;, searching in copy mode.
+ * In copy mode, search in reverse direction when 'N' is pressed.
+ * Tab-completion for command input.
+ * Some more readline-like bindings in input mode (e.g. ^W, ^D, ^P, ^N etc.)
+ * Fix displaying unicode characters in the caption/hardstatus on UTF8 locale.
+ * A revamped displays list (for 'displays' command)
+ * Increased default maximum number of windows from 40 to 100.
+ * Increased number color/attribute changes in caption/hardstatus string from 16 to 256.
+ * Some commands can be remotely queried using the -Q command-line flag.
+
+ In-Progress:
+ * Scripting support (thanks to Google Summer of Code 2009 project by Rui Guo)

+entry which the name "screen.$TERM" does exist. Look in the
+"VIRTUAL TERMINAL" section of the manual for more details.

+
+screen 3.0 Patchlevel 6
+=======================
+
+.screenrc:
+ screen now only opens the windows you explicitly ask for.
+ If you specify none, you still get one window, of course.
+
+screen 3.0. Patchlevel 5
+========================
+
+Ansi prototyping by Christos.
+
+copy mode: CTRL-U / CTRL-D exchanged. code cleanup.
+
+changes to screen 3.0 patchlevel 4
+==================================
+
+markkeys "string"
+ allows to rebind the keys used in copy/history mode.
+ string is made up of pairs "<oldchar>=<newchar>" which are separated
+ by a colon. Oldchar and newchar are either single ascii characters,
+ or the two character sequence ^x, where x is an ascii character, or
+ a 3 digit octal value prepended with '\'. the string "\040=.:^M=q"
+ rebinds '.' to set marks, and the return key will abort copy mode.
+
+set scrollback 100
+ resizes the scrollback history buffer to 100 lines. a default of 50
+ is installed.
+
+A Howard Chu like scrollback history is installed. Many vi-like keys
+ are added to the copy mode. The '?' key reports on cursor position.
+
+screen 3.0 Patchlevel 3

+
+WriteString fixed, it did kill the display variable.
+
+Yet another LP bugfix.

+wayne patches cursor motion outside scrollregions.
+
+.screenrc
+ monitor on|off
+
+changes in Screen 3.0 Patchlevel 1
+==================================
+
+screen -wipe
+
+^A : set vbell_msg "Wuff Wuff"
+
+Thousand enhancements: help resizable, copy'n'paste in main
+ socket loop, and no more '\0' hackin'. :WS=\E8;%d;%dt:
+
+screen can now resize windows under sunview.
+
+^A : set crlf on|off
+ effects markroutine join.
+
+screen learned about sized windows under X
+
+screen -ls (-d) -q
+ quiet option. We count the number of detached (attached) sessions and set
+ a return value of 10+n. The -q option inhibits all startup
+ warnings/messages. i.e. screen -R -q may return with code 12 or higher
+ or start a new/old session.
+
+pow_detach_msg "text string"
+ new command, allows messages, terminal reset, etc. on logout caused
+ by pow_detach.
+
+^A : learned a new keyword "set":
+ commands like "login on" , "vbell off", ... affect the default for
+ windows to be created. But commands like "set login off" affect
+ the actual setting of this window. and not the default.
+ such commands may be bound to keys. example:
+ bind 'O' set login off
+ is valid in your .screenrc as well as typed at the ':' prompt.
+ a bonus is ":set all" which is synonym to ":help".
+ At the Colon prompt also KeyNames can be entered, although that makes
+ not always sense.
+
+^A x uses a builtin lockprg, if
+ a) we don't find our lockprg, or
+ b) user supplies us with the environment variable LOCKPRG set to "builtin"
+ the builtin locks until your login password is typed. on systems using
+ "shadow password files" you are prompted for a password.
+
+markroutine can append joined.
+
+screen removes the "controlling tty" from utmp while ptys are attached.
+
+markroutine performs CR+NL when '\n' is pressed
+
+screen may die quietly, when no TERMCAP entry for "screen" is
+found, and screen is run under X-windows
+
+_SEQUENT_ marks sequent386_ptx
+
+screen runs now under SunOS4.1.1 (we need setsid()!).
+
+bug in SetForeWindow fixed.
+
+rare markroutine bug fixed.
+
+we don't open every file the attacher tells us.
+
+we have now our wonderful "Wuff, Wuff" visual_bell
+
+we have now the interprocess-communication-buffer. secure version.
+
+'^A =' removes the interprocess-communication-buffer.
+
+markroutine as in 2.1
+
+markroutine: 'a' toggles append mode,
+ '>' like ' ', but immediately WriteFile(DUMP_EXCHANGE) then.
+ 'A' like ' ', but first switch to append mode.
+
+.screenrc understands "screen 2:faui09 rlogin faui09 -l jnweiger"
+ and "password none"
+ and "vbell [on|off]"
+
+'^A :' allows .screenrc commands "online".
+
+screen now receives new $TERM from attacher, when it is reattached
+
+MakeClientSocket() fifo version does now test for access.
+
+.screenrc learns "hardstatus {on|off}"
+
+termcap's VB is used for vbell if available.
+
+Attach() code rewritten:
+ screen now lists socket directory, if it does not find a suitable socket
+ screen -d [host.tty] detaches a running screen.
+
+screen -[ls|list]
+ list all sockets that we find in our sockdir
+
+when the socket has been removed, send a SIGCHLD to the poor SCREEN
+process and it will try to recover. then try a 'screen -r' again.
+all the socket stuff lives now in an extra file.
+
+Major changes in version 2.4:
+=============================
+
+* Test version that presents the erlangen extensions from 2.0 in a 2.3
+ screen.
+
+* window resize support
+
+* screen locking C-a x
+
+* support for SYSV
+
+* password protection
+
+* copy & paste across screens
+
+* remote detach and power detach
+
+Major changes in version 2.3:
+
+* Terminal emulation has been significantly enhanced and bugfixed.
+
+* We now fully update the last character on the screen for true auto-
+ margin terminals, though there may be some delay before the character
+ can be safely added to the screen. If your terminal has character
+ insert it will be used to shorten the delay.
+
+* Added the "termcap" .screenrc command to tweak your terminal's termcap
+ entry AND to customize the termcap generated for the virtual terminals.
+ See also the -L and -O command-line options, and the SCREENCAP environ-
+ ment variable.
+
+* Fixed screen's character handling when detached or suspended to NOT block
+ the child processes in their windows -- output continues to be processed
+ in the background.
+
+* Added a.k.a.s (window-name aliases) that allow you to customize the
+ window-information line, including being able to change the name on-
+ the-fly to reflect what's currently running in the window (see the
+ -k option, shellaka command, and ALSO KNOWN AS discussion in the doc).
+
+* Added the ability to log the output of a window to a file (see the
+ "C-a H" (log) command).
+
+* Flow-control can now be set for each window and switched interactively
+ (see the "flow" command, -f option, and FLOW CONTROL discussion).
+
+* Individual windows can be included or excluded from mention in the
+ /etc/utmp file (see the "login" command and -l option).
+
+* Added an activity monitor, which allows you to have a window watched for
+ the start of any output and alert you when it occurs (see the "C-a M"
+ (monitor) command).
+
+* Enhanced the information in the window-information line to keep track of
+ windows that have: logging turned on '(L)'; beeped in the background '!';
+ became active while being monitored '@' (see the "C-a w" (windows) command).
+
+* Added an on-line help display that lists all the commands and their
+ key bindings (see the "C-a ?" (help) command).
+
+* Extended handling of the beep message (and also the new activity message)
+ to allow '~' to specify a literal beep (see the "beep" and "activity"
+ .screenrc commands).
+
+* You can now set the default action on receipt of a hangup signal: detach
+ or terminate (see the "autodetach" .screenrc command).
+
+* Routing of characters to their virtual terminals has been enhanced to
+ not drop characters nor (in rare circumstances) hang up screen.
+
+* The NFS compatibility has been enhanced.
+
+Major changes in version 2.0a:
+
+* Screen allows you to `detach' the "screen" session from the physical
+ terminal and resume it at a later point in time (possibly on a
+ different terminal or in a different login session).
+
+ To get an impression of this functionality do the following:
+
+ - call "screen" and create a couple of windows
+ - type Control-A Control-D (screen terminates; you are back
+ in the shell)
+ - call "screen -r" to resume the detached screen
+
+* Screen supports multiple character sets and the ISO 2022 control
+ functions to designate and switch between character sets.
+ This allows you, for instance, to make use of the VT100 graphics
+ character set or national character sets.
