Hi guys, I'd like to post the following news announcement before releasing screen-4.2.0. Comments are welcome. The package currently resides in [staging] so as not to break [testing] systems before their admins get a chance to see this message. Title: screen-4.2.0 cannot reattach older instances Users of the screen program will not be able to reattach older instances after upgrading to version 4.2.0; this is due to upstream having made a lot of changes to the internals, and switching from named pipes to sockets for communication. Please ensure your current screen instances are not anymore needed before upgrading. Cheers. -- Gaetan
