GNU Screen v.4.3.0

I'm announcing availability of GNU Screen v.4.3.0

So more than a year after previous release there is new one, hopefully
even better. As for things that changed:

  • Introduce Xx string escape showing the executed command of a window
  • Implement dead/zombie window polling, allowing for auto reconnecting
  • New commands:

  - 'sort' command sorting windows by title
  - 'bumpleft', 'bumpright' - manually move windows on window list
  - 'collapse' removing numbering 'gaps' between windows, by
    renumbering

  • 'windows' command now accepts arguments for use with querying
  • Allow setting hardstatus on first line
  • Bug fixes


Also special thanks to Alexander Naumov who provided patches and pushed
me to make new release.

Release is available for download at:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/screen/

Please report any bugs or regressions.
