" This release * Improves startup time by only polling for already open files to close * Fixes: - Fix for segfault if termcap doesn't have Km entry - Make screen exit code be 0 when checking --version - Fix potential memory corruption when using OSC 49 As last fix, fixes potential memory overwrite of quite big size (~768 bytes), and even though I'm not sure about potential exploitability of that issue, I highly recommend everyone to upgrade as soon as possible. This issue is present at least since v.4.2.0 (haven't checked earlier). Thanks to pippin who brought this to my attention. For full list of changes see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/log/?h=v.4.8.0 "
