Re: [screen-devel] [Correction] Any plans for a screen release before christmas?

[Alex Naumov]

Hi Axel,

I prefer to release every new version every 6-8 months.
For sure we still have many open bugreports, issues and
patches that need to be tested and added.

@Amadeusz, do you have something to commit right now?

Cheers,
Alex
