This is a test release. To get it in setup.exe or setup64.exe, you'll have= to click on the "Exp" radio button at top right of the "Select Packages" windo= w. This is the first update of screen in Cygwin since the last official upstre= am release, version 4.0.3, back in 2005. Although version 4.1.0 isn't officia= lly released, development has continued and there are many fixes and new featur= es in this Cygwin release: * The much-requested vertical split feature is now supported upstream and available in this release. * All the old crufty patches that used to be needed to get screen to work in Cygwin, are apparently no longer needed now. Both Cygwin and screen have matured a lot in the last 8 years, so I take this as a good sign. * And I'm sure lots more stuff in the last 8 years that I don't know about. Please test this release, and report here how it's working for you. I'll be using it for my daily work now, and if there are no major complaints after = a few weeks, I'll move it from test to current. screen is a terminal multiplexer and window manager that runs several separ= ate 'screens' on a single physical character-based terminal. Each virtual term= inal emulates a DEC VT100 plus several ANSI X3.64 and ISO 2022 functions. You c= an create multiple windows with any programs in them, kill the current window, switch between windows or copy text between them, view a list of active win= dows, rename windows, view scrollback history, and more. You can detach your ses= sion and even log out if you wish; your programs will keep running, and you can reattach later, maybe when logged in from a different host. Andrew E.
