4 What's new in screen-3.7 ?
5 ----------------------------
7 * Color support. Screen understands the following capabilities:
8 AF (setaf) = Set foreground color (ANSI compatible)
9 AB (setab) = Set background color (ANSI compatible)
10 AX = Does understand ANSI set default fg/bg color
12 The tweaks for the color xterm would be:
13 termcap xterm 'AF=\E[3%dm:AB=\E[4%dm'
14 terminfo xterm 'AF=\E[3%p1%dm:AB=\E[4%p1%dm'
16 * New 'digraph' command (bound to ^A^V)
17 ^A^Va" or ^A^V0344 input an a-umlaut
19 * activity/bell message strings can now include the window title:
21 %n - number (a single % still works)
23 * 'defhstatus' command to give everey window a default
24 hardstatus line. ^E is used as a string escape instead of %
25 (see above). Try 'defhstatus "Screen: window ^E (^Et)"'
27 * Input parser changed to understand '^' (see ^E above).
29 Note that the linux color xterm has a stupid bug: the characters
30 get the color of the cursor, therefore if you change color and move
31 the cursor around all the characters will get the new color...

34 Btw.: rxvt works fine.
36 * Optional Braille support. If you can read Braille and have one of
37 the devices listed in README.DOTSCREEN, please compile with
38 -DHAVE_BRAILLE and let us know if this feature is useful.
