Re: [screen-devel] Request for new stable release

[Clemens Buchacher]

Hi Sadrul,

I am writing to you because you seem to be the most active screen
developer in recent years. I have sent the email quoted below to the
screen-devel mailing list recently.

Unfortunately, I have not received a reply indicating whether or not a
new release is planned. Please let me know what might be keeping you
from making a new release.

Thanks,
Clemens
