screen @ Savannah: GNU Screen v.5.0.2 is released

Hi everyone,

I’m glad to announce the new release of GNU screen.

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

The 5.0.2 release includes the following changes to the previous release 5.0.1:

  • Add %* escape to output caret character literal (“^”)
  • Add portable PAM conversation callback prototype (for Solaris)
  • Fixes:

 – type on big-endian systems

 – UTF-8 combining sequences

 – buffer overflow in SendCmdMessage()

 – detaching fail with empty terminfo and leave the session attached

 – eliminates the TOCTOU race

 – manpage fixes

Release (official tarball) will be available soon for download:

https://ftp.gn … rg/gnu/screen/

Please report any bugs or regressions.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.

Cheers,

Alex
