I'm announcing availability of GNU Screen v.4.9.0
Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal
between several processes, typically interactive shells.
New in this release:
* Hardstatus option for used encoding (escape string '%e')
* OpenBSD uses native openpty() from its utils.h
* Fixes:
- fix combining char handling that could lead to a segfault
- CVE-2021-26937: possible denial of service via a crafted UTF-8
character sequence (*bug #60030 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60030>*)
- make screen exit code be 0 when checking --help
- session names limit is 80 symbols (*bug #61534
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61534>*)
- option -X ignores specified user in multiuser env (*bug #37437
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?37437>*)
- a lot of reformations/fixes/cleanups (man page and source code)
For full list of changes see

Thanks to everybody who contributed patches and helped to test development
git-version.
Keep sending bugreports or any regressions.
Have a lot of fun with GNU Screen 4.9.0 ;-)
Cheers,
Alex
