GNU Screen v.5.0.0 is released

Item posted by Alexander Naumov <anaumov> on Wed 28 Aug 2024 09:41:30
PM UTC.

Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical
terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells.

The 5.0.0 release includes the following changes to the previous
release 4.9.1:


  * Rewritten authentication mechanism
  * Add escape %T to show current tty for window
  * Add escape %O to show number of currently open windows
  * Use wcwdith() instead of UTF-8 hard-coded tables
  * New commands:

  - auth [on|off]
    Provides password protection
  - status [top|up|down|bottom] [left|right]
    The status window by default is in bottom-left corner.
    This command can move status messages to any corner of the
screen.
  - truecolor [on|off]
  - multiinput
    Input to multiple windows at the same time

  * Removed commands:

  - time
  - debug
  - password
  - maxwin
  - nethack

  * Fixes:

  - Screen buffers ESC keypresses indefinitely
  - Crashes after passing through a zmodem transfer
  - Fix double -U issue

Release is available for download:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/screen/

Please report any bugs or regressions.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.

Cheers,
Alex
