I just found that version 5.0.1 has been "released" yesterday but is not yet in the source tarball download directory but it says it will come soon.

I might just wait a while to see if that comes "soon".

I have a question anyway, about the patches from that email. the filename of the 5.0.0 patch is

screen_5_0_0_patches_tar_gz.bin

I have no idea why it is showing up as a bin file, but I am not keen to download and try and open it up. Not sure how to open it anyway, depending what the .bin means anyway.

Regards,
Adolf.
