From 0636e9ecb5a32db4d4520f50a20652faa825feaf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Axel Beckert Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2011 14:05:19 +0200 Subject: Imported Upstream version 3.7.2 --- NEWS | 80 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 80 insertions(+) create mode 100644 NEWS (limited to 'NEWS') diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0224ff3 --- /dev/null +++ b/NEWS @@ -0,0 +1,80 @@ + + ---------------------------- + What's new in screen-3.7 ? + ---------------------------- + +* Color support. Screen understands the following capabilities: + AF (setaf) = Set foreground color (ANSI compatible) + AB (setab) = Set background color (ANSI compatible) + AX = Does understand ANSI set default fg/bg color + (\E[39m / \E[49m) + The tweaks for the color xterm would be: + termcap xterm 'AF=\E[3%dm:AB=\E[4%dm' + terminfo xterm 'AF=\E[3%p1%dm:AB=\E[4%p1%dm' + Caution: Screen exposes a bug in X11R6 color xterm. Either use the + patch ftp.uni-erlangen.de:pub/utilities/screen/color_xterm_patch + or a clean rewrite of xterm: rxvt. + +* Resize code completely rewritten. Long lines now get rewrapped, + no information gets lost when a window is narrowed and widened. This + affects both the visible window and its scrollback buffer. It is a + big improvement for the latter. In previous versions the scrollback + buffer was clipped when the window narrowed and padded with + whitespace when it widened. + +* Input handling changed. The command key can now be a prefix + of a function key sequence (hello wyse users :) ) + +* An empty argument to the escape command is allowed to disable + command key processing. This is only allowed if some key + is bound to the "command" command. This example makes F1 the + new command key and allows the previous command key (usually ^A) + to be typed directly: + bindkey -k k1 command + escape "" + +* New 'digraph' command (bound to ^A^V) + ^A^Va" or ^A^V0344 input an a-umlaut + This helps if you want to work in an ISO-latin1 environment but your + terminal's keyboard lacks a some of the more special characters. + +* activity/bell message strings can now include the window title + and the current date/time: + %t - title + %n - number (a single % still works) + %d - day + %D - weekday name + %m - month + %M - month name + %y - year (2 digit) + %Y - year (4 digit) + %w - hour:minutes (24h format) + %W - hour:minutes (12h format) + %s - seconds + %a - am/pm + %A - AM/PM + Please do not use a single '%' character for window titles any more. + It is obsoleted by '%n' and will vanish in future releases. + +* 'defhstatus' command to give every window a default + hardstatus line. '^E' is used as a string escape instead of '%'. + All the above substitution codes apply, but you must use ^E (octal + 005) here, as '%' is likely to appear in automaticaly generated + hardstatus lines. Try 'defhstatus "Screen: window ^E (^Et)"'. + +* In screenrc files and colon command mode: Input parser changed to + also understand caret notation ('^') to mean "Control-" (as in + the ^E example above). + +* "logdir" command changed to "logfile". You can now specify the + filename instead of the directory. The same directives as + understood by the activity/bell messages can be used. + The default is "screenlog.%n". + +* Special terminfo workaround make delay processing work for + the first time! If you had trouble with padding, then try again. + +* New incomprehensible capability XC added to specify character + translation depending on the terminal type. See the manual for + more details and examples. + -- cgit v1.2.3
