Yeah, that's why this was a very minor note, rather than a major
announcement. It's not so much a release announcement (which would also
have gone to address@hidden), as a note that the ftp.gnu.org (which is
intended to be the primary release site) is now less incomplete than it
was. :)

I may be wrong, but I think we could be looking at a 4.1.0 release
around the turn of the year. Sadrul (especially) and I have been killing
bugs at a fairly quick rate, and we're down to about 20 bugs currently
being tracked against the 4.1.0 release (with more that have been marked
for later releases):
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=screen&func=browse&set=custom&msort=1&custom_sb1[]=0&assigned_to[]=0&resolution_id[]=0&priority[]=0&severity[]=0&status_id[]=1&plan_release_id[]=101&release_id[]=0&details[]=&summary[]=&advsrch=1&msort=1&chunksz=50&spamscore=5&report_id=195&sumORdet=0&morder=priority%3C&sumOrdet=0&order=custom_sb1

I do expect that there will be more than those 20 bugs to fix before we
can release: layouts and groups need more refinement and
playing-around-with before a 4.1.0 release can be done, and may need
some additional supporting features (though not many, I think). Then
there needs to be a testing period, probably (although a good many
people are happily using the git sources).

Of course, if you'd like to hurry up the process, feel free to submit
patches against the bugs that are left, so we can finish it up. :)
