Hi everyone,
I'm glad to announce the new release of GNU screen.

Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal
between several processes, typically interactive shells.

The 5.0.0 release includes the following changes to the previous release
4.9.1:
* Rewritten authentication mechanism
* Add escape %T to show current tty for window
* Add escape %O to show number of currently open windows
* Use wcwdith() instead of UTF-8 hard-coded tables
* New commands:
   - auth [on|off]
     Provides password protection
   - status [top|up|down|bottom] [left|right]
     The status window by default is in the bottom-left corner.
     This command can move status messages to any corner of the screen.
   - truecolor [on|off]
   - multiinput
      Input to multiple windows at the same time
* Removed commands:
   - time
   - debug
   - password
   - maxwin
   - nethack
* Fixes:
   - Screen buffers ESC keypresses indefinitely
   - Crashes after passing through a zmodem transfer
   - Fix double -U issue


Release is available for download at:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/screen/

Please report any bugs or regressions.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.

Cheers,
Alex
