Just found this thread when searching for truecolor support in screen. I
tried the "master" branch and truecolor actually works fine for me. So I'm
also wondering what's preventing us from releasing screen-5.x. Isn't
"master" branch stable enough? If it's not stable for a release could we
backport the truecolor support to screen-4.x?
