Screen 5.0.0 is the next major release of GNU Screen. Unfortunatly while testing sysutils/screen-devel I discovered bugs with its hardstatus implementation. Existing hardstatus failed to work correctly. I had opened a bug with the GNU Screen upstream. They had fixed one of the bugs however the last time I tested screen-devel, some status strings were still unavailable, not to mention that the hardstatus string syntax has changed. Therefore I don't believe screen50 should replace screen49 as our default GNU screen until a) some of the issues are resolved and b) we the FreeBSD community have had a little more experience with it. People who wish to use screen50 will need to uninstall screen (currently a meta port pointing to screen49) and install screen50. Any bugzilla bugs will likely spawn an upstream bug report by myself.

Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal
|
|
between several processes (typically interactive shells).
|
|
Each virtual terminal provides the functions of a DEC VT100 terminal and, in
|
|
addition, several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO
|
|
2022 standards (e.g. insert/delete line and support for multiple character
|
|
sets). There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a
|
|
copy-and-paste mechanism that allows moving text regions between windows.
