-
- Changes up to Screen 3.0 Patchlevel 7
- =====================================
-
- Better terminfo support: Screen now checks if a termcap/info
- entry which the name "screen.$TERM" does exist. Look in the
- "VIRTUAL TERMINAL" section of the manual for more details.
-
- Many security improvements.

-
- 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 rey 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 -wipe
-
- ^A : set vbell_msg "Wuff Wuff"
-
- Thousand enhancements: help resizible, 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, alothough 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 environmet 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 dont 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.
