About:
dvtm brings the concept of tiling window management, popularized by X11-window managers like dwm, to the console. As a console window manager, it tries to make it easy to work with multiple console based programs like vim, mutt, cmus, or irssi. dvtm is intended to be used where X11 isn't available or over SSH. In conjunction with dtach, it can be seen as a lightweight alternative to GNU screen.

Release focus: Initial freshmeat announcement

Changes:
This version contains improved window positioning code, which only draws a border where absolutely necessary. New auto quit functionality was added, Support for the xterm title escape sequence was added, and the cursor visibility of applications running within dvtm is respected.
