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'
* New 'digraph' command (bound to ^A^V)
^A^Va" or ^A^V0344 input an a-umlaut
* activity/bell message strings can now include the window title:
%t - title
%n - number (a single % still works)
* 'defhstatus' command to give everey window a default
hardstatus line. ^E is used as a string escape instead of %
(see above). Try 'defhstatus "Screen: window ^E (^Et)"'
* Input parser changed to understand '^' (see ^E above).
Note that the linux color xterm has a stupid bug: the characters
get the color of the cursor, therefore if you change color and move
the cursor around all the characters will get the new color...
Here is a patch:
pub/utilities/screen/color_xterm_patch
Btw.: rxvt works fine.
* Optional Braille support. If you can read Braille and have one of
the devices listed in README.DOTSCREEN, please compile with
-DHAVE_BRAILLE and let us know if this feature is useful.
