GNU Screen v.4.5.1

I'm glad to announce that the new version of GNU Screen (4.5.1) has been released today!

4.5.1 is a bugfix/security release.
We fixed few crashes and, of course, problem with privilege escalation.
We also changed behavior of '-L' option: now you can set new logfile name using '-Logfile' option and '-L' just tells screen to  turn on logging.


Thanks to all beta testers who help to test new stuff in git. Keep to report about bugs or any regressions!
Also thanks for collaboration to packagers who maintain GNU screen for UNIX-like systems like OpenIndiana and *BSD.

Release is available for download at:

The 4.5.0 release is mostly a bugfix release:
  -> broken handling of "bind u digraph U+" (bug #48691)
  -> crash with long $TERM (bug #48983)
  -> crash when bumping blank window
  -> build for AIX (bug #49149)
  -> %x improperly separating arguments
  -> install with custom DESTDIR (bug #48370)

Just one new feature: it is possible to specify logfile's name via command line parameter '-L'.
