* unicode combining character support
* new encoding: chinese GBK
* new 'backtick' command and string escape to embed command
output into e.g. the hardstatus line
Update submitted by Juan RP <juan@xtraeme.unixbsd.org>
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
Summary of changes:
- removal of USE_GTEXINFO
- addition of mk/texinfo.mk
- inclusion of this file in package Makefiles requiring it
- `install-info' substituted by `${INSTALL_INFO}' in PLISTs
- tuning of mk/bsd.pkg.mk:
removal of USE_GTEXINFO
INSTALL_INFO added to PLIST_SUBST
`${INSTALL_INFO}' replace `install-info' in target rules
print-PLIST target now generate `${INSTALL_INFO}' instead of `install-info'
- a couple of new patch files added for a handful of packages
- setting of the TEXINFO_OVERRIDE "switch" in packages Makefiles requiring it
- devel/cssc marked requiring texinfo 4.0
- a couple of packages Makefiles were tuned with respect of INFO_FILES and
makeinfo command usage
See -newly added by this commit- section 10.24 of Packages.txt for
further information.
* windowlist, bound to ^A"

* 256 color support (experimental)
* configurable time format string (for ^At)

------------------------------
What's new in screen-3.9.8 ?
------------------------------
* new command 'resize' to resize regions (aka split windows), try:
bind = resize =
bind + resize +1
bind - resize -1
bind _ resize max
* new argument for 'focus': up, down, top, bottom
* X11 mouse tracking support
* Support for the "new color model", aka "background color erase":
the bce/defbce commands change the color model of the current
window/new windows.
* experimental rxvt OSC sequence support (used to set a background
picture or to change the default colors), disabled by default.
with an additional "tty mode fix" over 3.9.3.
Whilst I'm here, make the PLIST handling a bit smarter, by using automatic
${DISTNAME} substitution. This means that the PLIST doesn't have to be
updated every time there's a new screen version, just to pull in the new
version number - it will be done automatically.
Changes include:
* real multiuser support
* split screen support
* hardstatus emulation support
* configurable window seperator and hardstatus strings
* permanent window seperator
* many new escapes
* logfile timestamps and flush timeout
* configurable breaktype
* other new commands:
* optional builtin telnet.
* remote detach and reattach change:
* support for history compaction
* optional Braille support.
