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
