Regarding the subject, just wanted to know this because I am trying to decide whether to go with Screen or Tmux. So far in my experience, Screen seems more mature (but I might not be qualified enough to say this :-) ) .
I admit a release has been slow in coming, and because of that I have also been considering a switch to tmux for a handful of features I've been waiting for. However, screen is mature and I know it well and haven't had enough time to switch yet. I also don't know if I could get tmux for some of the Solaris machines I have to deal with. Also, most of the features I wanted have been in the git version of screen for a while so development on screen does continue to progress albeit slowly. In an effort to move things along some of us have started work to try and package a git version for distros like Debian:
