    I would highly recommend this project to anyone who lives on the command line of bash. You gain the advantages of fully movable windows (unlike screen) with the only downside being the lack of support for Unicode. I love it, and have used twin since 0.4.6.

    It is pretty broken, although a really nice idea

    From 0.6.0 to 0.6.1: (Massimiliano Ghilardi, Milos Jakubicek, 17 Feb 2009) * Fixed uninitialized variable bug in --hw=gfx introduced in 0.6.0, sometimes causing twin/twdisplay not to draw anything when using --hw=gfx, especially on 64 bit archs. * Added explicit copyright statement to all source files (thanks, Milos!)

  • twin 0.6.0 file released: twin-0.6.0.tar.gz

    Changes from 0.5.1 to 0.6.0: (Massimiliano Ghilardi, 01 Dec 2007) * Fixed build errors with gcc 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2. * Fixed some (not all) pointer <-> integer conversion issues on 64 bit archs. * Fixed time arithmetic overflow bug often causing twin to hang in a busy loop for several seconds on 64 bit archs. * Fixed raw keyboard support for --hw=tty on Linux console which sometimes got confused between being in the active console and being switched away, resulting in raw keyboard to screw up. * Added dead keys and compose (Multi_key) support to --hw=X11 and --hw=gfx. * Added `view=<W>x<H>+<X>+<Y>' option to --hw=X11 and --hw=gfx, allowing to show only a portion of twin desktop. It is not possible to resize the X11 windows created using this option. Together with multiple twdisplay/twattach, it allows to split twin desktop across multiple X11 screens/servers. Example: suppose your twin is using a 100x30 desktop. Then: $ twdisplay --hw=X11@:0,view=50x15+0+0 & $ twdisplay --hw=X11@:1,view=50x15+50+0 & $ twdisplay --hw=X11@:2,view=50x15+0+15 & $ twdisplay --hw=X11@:3,view=50x15+50+15 & will show your whole twin desktop split in four equal parts, each one on a different X11 server (in this example on :0 :1 :2 :3 servers). * Updated twsysmon to linux kernel 2.6 style disk activity report (using /proc/diskstats) and cpu activity report (added new states 'irq' as MAGENTA and 'wait' as HIGH|BLUE)
