I couldn't resist to write a blog posting[1] a few days ago about my
4.2.0 upload to Debian Experimental. That posting is also published on
Planet Debian[2].

  [1] 
http://noone.org/blog/English/Computer/Debian/GNU%20Screen%204.2.0%20in%20Debian%20Experimental.html
  [2] http://planet.debian.org/

(Unless 4.2.1 comes soonish, I'll make a second upload of 4.2.0 so it
will also be available in Debian Unstable and can migrate to Debian
Testing, too.)

Someone also wrote about Screen 4.2.0 in the ArchLinux News[3]. It's
still on their homepage[4].

  [3] https://www.archlinux.org/news/screen-420-cannot-reattach-older-instances/
  [4] https://www.archlinux.org/

So it got at least some coverage via some Linux distributions.

BTW, while I think that it may have been an advantage to announce the
4.2.0 release only on the screen-devel mailing list, I think that
4.2.1 should also be announced on the screen-users mailing list, too.

                Kind regards, Axel
