Happy Birthday GNU Screen! //at 23:46 //by abe
from the State-of-the-Screen dept.
According to this Usenet posting, GNU Screen became 25 years old today. (Found via Fefe.)
And no, it’s not dead. In contrary, the reaction on the mailing list to bug fixes with patches is usually impressingly prompt. :-)
I took this occassion and uploaded a current git snapshot of GNU Screen to Debian Experimental.
Bug #644788 (screen 4.1.0 can’t attach to a running or detached screen 4.0.3 session) is still an issue with that snapshot, but gladly upstream seems to work on a solution for it. There’s even talk about a 4.1.0 beta release soon — although that hasn’t happened yet.
Have fun!

Re: Happy Birthday GNU Screen!
Hi I got here via Google Reader through Planet Debian, but I was taken to a page that doesn't have any content. It waited a *long* time on delicious.com and then displayed nothing. http://noone.org/blog/English/Computer/Shell/Happy%20Birthday%20GNU%20Screen%2521.html
I guess the difference is the ending .futile vs .html. The email I posted is real, so let me know if you need any more info.
HTH, HAND
