Thanks to Jason Merrill. + +* 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...' commands. + 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 occurrences of the word 'screen' in the + history buffer. + +* New command 'silence'. Alarms the user whenever there was inactivity + 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 + get allocated. This is very useful if you have a lage scrollback. + +* Multi display support: + You can now attach from more than one terminal to a session with + the '-x' option. + +* New option '-S' to specify socket name. + +* Experimental multiuser support added: + You can start screen in multiuser Mode by prepending the socket + name with a '/' (or by the command 'multiuser on'). + If another user wants to attach to the screen session, he can do + this by prepending the socketname with 'screenuser/'. + Of course he must be in the access control list for a successful + 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 allow + 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 useful 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 ($VAR) and terminal capabilities + ($:TC:) in the screenrc files and detach messages. + Example: pow_detach_msg "Session of \$LOGNAME \$: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 + termcap/terminfo entry. Please try it before calling screen and + in a screen session. + +* LOTS of bugfixes and code cleanup. + +Thanks to all the beta testers who helped porting screen to at least +the following platforms: Ultrix, SunOS, Solaris, BSD43, linux, NEWSOS, +Irix, OSF/1, Harris CX/UX, hpux, dynix/ptx, AIX. +And even more thanks to the brave who attempted to use the 'exec' +command features. + + Donnate patches, bugreports, suggestions, money, beer & pizza to + screen@uni-erlangen.de + diff --git a/NEWS.3.6 b/NEWS.3.6 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6d4360f --- /dev/null +++ b/NEWS.3.6 @@ -0,0 +1,48 @@ + + ---------------------------- + 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.

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 anouther register. + This makes the old "ins_reg", "copy_reg" commands obsolete. + +* More architecures supported. Screen now runs on AIX3.2.5, + Solaris, NeXT and some other exotic platforms. + +* Kanji support added.
