Note that the main reason for version 5.0 were various security flaws in
some of the blanker modules.
5.00
+ Just about all modes are now updated. Numerous bug fixes added.
+ Modes modified for safer allocating. Part of fix to security flaw.
+ xlock was broken by using up all the virtual memory.
+ xlockdir may need more work. Multiscreen fixes added.
+ text3d, an unstable C++ mode, needs more work, for the calls to "new".
+ Tom Schmidt & Jouk Jansen caught numerous goofs.
Assorted fixes when doing above like "discrete -mono", and lyapunov &
mandelbrot now sometimes draw from the right side. tube, lyapunov, and
mandelbrot now go through colormap changes forward and backward.
* XFreeColors bug fix in colors.c thanks to Ian Collier
* <Ian.Collier@comlab.ox.ac.uk>.
* Enhanced xlock/util.c for SunOS 4.1.X and others that needed the
* matherr() function defined. Now handles acos() and asin() DOMAIN
* error messages. Thanks to Tom Schmidt <tschmidt@micron.com>.
* SunOS 4.1.3_U1 did not have CLOCKS_PER_SEC defined. Thanks to Tom Schmidt
* <tschmidt@micron.com>.
pentomino mode added by Stephen Montgomery-Smith
<stephen@math.missouri.edu>... it includes a scalable 3d look.
tetris mode now uses and older version of this scalable 3d look as well.
fire, sballs, lament and atlantis updates by Eric Lassauge.
SIA passwording for Tru64 help thanks to Octave Orgeron <octave@sun.com>.
ImageMagick stuff added by Jouk Jansen <joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.nl>
Setup to go only for VMS.
SunC++ (Forte 6 U1) compatiblity changes.
sball mode... new GL mode, converted by Eric Lassauge (one improvement
I would like to see is to see balls at the corners of the 4 other
platonic solids instead of just the cube).
euler2d new mode option, eulerpower Added optimizations, rotation
of region to maximize screen fill, and new algorithm for solving
diff equation makes it twice as fast thanks to Stephen
Montgomery-Smith <stephen@math.missouri.edu>.
bubble3d, invert release fix
fire mode... new GL mode converted by Eric Lassauge
<lassauge@mail.dotcom.fr>. Also had a few other mods including a
solitare and new l-* icons in pixmaps. Tom Schmidt
<tschmidt@micron.com> added a -size option similar to sproingies.
tree stuff added
lint cleanups
cartoon and raster image removed, bat and bounce modes modified to do
some of what it used to but not all...
e-sound can now be turned off thanks to Mark Davies
life patterns more random
VMS edits thanks to Jouk Jansen <joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.nl>.
Dpms lib changes for configure for Solaris 8 and XFree86 4.0 (latter not
tested). Also added a new Solaris xpm.
kaleid: new spiral and spots options thanks Robert Adam, II
<raii@comm.net> (spiral looks best like:
xlock -mode kaleid -spiral -alternate -size 20 -count 5 ).
Configure update for Mesa thanks to Tom Schmidt <tschmidt@micron.com>.

+ euler2d, new mode thanks to Stephen Montgomery-Smith
+ <stephen@math.missouri.edu> also some work was done by Tim Auckland
+ <Tim.Auckland@Procket.com>. See euler2d.tex for theory.
& XSync(dsp, True) should not be used in modes as it is hard to log in
& when input password characters are randomly dropped.
- tetris, you can now play with -trackmouse, row clearing fixed, bonus
- pieces. Added a new look to pieces but must be compiled in with
- -DBM_PLAIN.
- Purify Uninitialized Memory Read found in euler2d, life, and swarm and
- a memory leak in juggle. SunOS fix for xcl and juggle and gameless
- environment configuration (--disable-interactive) thanks to Tom Schmidt
- <tschmidt@micron.com>.
bounce, bat, pacman, and braid should look better for password sized
windows
xcl, new mode control-line combat model race, conversion from xscreensaver
thanks to its author Martin Berentsen <berentsen@sent5.uni-duisburg.de>.
multi-byte character support for languages like Japanese. Fixed for
bomb.c, nose.c, dclock.c, xlock.c, resource.c, iostuff.c,
xmlock.c, and xglock.c. Also added new xmlock/XmLock-jp.ad.
Thanks to Yokota Hiroshi <yokota@netlab.is.tsukuba.ac.jp>.
Maintainer (David Bagley) is a little confused about gettext and
settext stuff.
swarm improvements thanks to Juan Heguiabehere <juanh@wins.uva.nl>.
Now do not fly at 45 degree angles most of the time and longer trails
with -size. Noticed some drawing errors on some Sun displays with
long trails, probably a Sun hardware problem.
euler2d, new mode thanks to Stephen Montgomery-Smith
<stephen@math.missouri.edu> also some work was done by Tim Auckland
<Tim.Auckland@Procket.com>. See euler2d.tex for theory.
added BLANK_ONLY #define if you only want the blank mode.
VMS patch for sound thanks to Jouk Jansen <joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.nl>.
sco patch from Ronald Joe Record <rr@sco.com>. Did not take the patches
straight so there could be some problems still, but tried to address
the issues. (etc/play.sh, spline.cc sqr, t3d.c time inc, and sysv5
build issues).
configure should now find Mesa as opengl. Worked before
for me... but may work for others now too.
Minor warnings removed various files.
loop.c now loops can go clockwise too. The program decides which set of
rules to use. (Is handedness a requirement for life? (DNA for example
has right-handed helices.)) Added some debugging for building rules
easier, hexagonal life more fleshed out so RAND_RULES will work until
about generation 540.
ESound updates by Eric Lassauge <lassauge@mail.dotcom.fr>.
xcl, new mode control-line combat model race, conversion from xscreensaver
thanks to its author Martin Berentsen <berentsen@sent5.uni-duisburg.de>.
juggle.c: fix bug which caused crashes on some machines, less flashy arms,
real-time, -pattern random (a true pattern generator), figure moved down
and scaled, bouncing, more random, one ball juggling should not come
up, and Sun CC 5.0 errors/warnings removed thanks to Tim Auckland
<tda10@geocities.com>.
HP problems identified for life.c and shape.c, no code changes since it
seems to be a strange bug in the HP cc compiler when using both -O and
-g flags (default). HP CC warnings removed in solitare.cc, xlock.c,
resource.c, dclock.c, decay.c, goop.c, ico.c, juggle.c, starfish.c,
t3d.c, tetris.c, erase*.*. Updated configure and README for compiling
and linking through HP's cc. Still some open problems.
Some arbitrary sized arrays removed in xlock.c, resource.c, and mode.c,
do not believe them to be security problems.
HP_PASSWDETC - due to possible security problems this will no longer
compile by default, pointed out by Theo de Raadt
<deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org>.
Sun CC 5.0 warnings changes cover all modes with options.
skewb mode added as an unstable GL mode. Its in development. Not much
yet... I just have the corners drawn so far and no real movement yet.
Its like a Rubik's Cube but with diagonal cuts that cut through the
the center of the cube on a skewed angle.
mult-byte character support for languages like Japanese. Fixed for
bomb.c, nose.c, iostuff.c, xmlock.c, and xglock.c. Also added new
xmlock/XmLock-jp.ad. Thanks to Yokota Hiroshi
<yokota@netlab.is.tsukuba.ac.jp>.
Buffer overrun security fix does not allow root access directly but the
encrypted password file may be found in memory. This vulnerability was
discovered by Brock Tellier with additional research by Anthony Osborne
at the COVERT Labs of PGP Security, Inc. Now allocate memory instead
of an arbitrary limit on mode name length.
run mode added, its a hack but it sort of works. :)
Also changed resource.c to make a special case for it.
would be nice if password window worked too...
Will probably crash and burn on multiscreens, random mode, etc.
run like:
xlock -mode run -geometrystring geometry -runprogram xclock
xlock -mode run -geometrystring g -runprogram xlogo
xlock -mode run -geometrystring none -runprogram xfishtank
(May be having a little problem with the none option...)
_NOT_ a good idea to recursively run xlock
Not fond of the name of the mode or its option names... so if you
have better names in mind ... tell me.
Moved to unstable (due to VMS and -debug problems).
ico.c most flashing removed. FullRandom added and now rotates more
randomly, rotates in the proper direction (looking at it from the top,
I guess its wrong if you think it should be on a glass table and the
view is underneath...) and changes when it hits the end of the screen.
and changes when it hits the end of the screen. Linewidth and points
added as well.
rubik.c update for stickers and cube roundness variables now set in macro,
considering creating a new skewb mode (its a like a rubik's cube but
with diagonal cuts).
XFree86 4.0 fixes for DPMS and XCloseDisplay thanks to Jeremy Buhler
<jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>. Call to XCloseDisplay was causing
problems, removing it should not, right? More fixes for DPMS, this time
for NetBSD. Thanks to <hubert.feyrer@rz.uni-regensburg.de>
solitare.cc Solaris CC warnings removed and fixed shapes when in
password window.
xalock removed from distribution
+ Updated since BETA1
& New since BETA

This adds a shell/user-interface to pkg-patterns, which are a superset
of sh/csh patterns and can't be expanded by any shell.
Peter Munster <peter@gmv.spm.univ-rennes1.fr> found a bug with -lockdelay
and +mousemotion. Moving the mouse after the delay brought up the
password window.
For 4.15 I will probably add "#ident" stuff for all .h files.
Started but commented out for now since it should be tested more.
Update matrix in menus, man page XLock.ad, and gui programs.
matrix: update to make it look more like the movie thanks to Joan Touzet
<joant@cadence.com>.
life: added a P88 oscillator to life.c from Paul Callahan
http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~callahan/patterns/p1/p1.html and a diagonal
sparker from Tim Coe
http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~callahan/patterns/dspark/dspark.html
thornbird: upgraded from author <Tim.Auckland@corp.sun.com>.
xjack: fix for little window thanks to Jouk Jansen.
text3d: -message "text" updates from Eric Lassauge and Jouk Jansen.
Purify errors noted in text3d.cc thanks to Tom Schmidt.
updates for fortunes from Jouk Jansen
initialization errors of GLTT library. Thanks to Jouk Jansen and Scott
<mcmillan@cambridge.com>.
dclock: options y2k and millennium from Tom Schmidt <tschmidt@micron.com>.
It uses local timezone and description was cleaned up. French
translations by Eric Lassauge <lassauge@sagem.fr> and Dutch translations
from Jouk Jansen. Also Tom patched dclock up for NetBSD.
flag: descriptions and purify errors from Tom Schmidt <tschmidt@micron.com>.
-neighbors now a mode option. -mouse changed to -trackmouse
-mousemotion was getting picked up instead. -shift, tshift and -cycle
combined to -cycle for crystal, tetris, and starfish.
Multiple options use in modes now possible. Set up only for -eyes for
ant and bug. (Also another major test would be an option that passed
an integer in). Code stolen from ParseCmd.c from X11R6.4 source and then
made so argc and argv are NOT updated. Jouk Jansen fixed if for VMS.
Jouk Jansen cleaned up the erase modes. New option -erasetime added which
will cause the erase to come to an abrupt end on a slow machine. Default
set at 2 seconds. Also made the erasing smoother... Also fixed a
problem on starfish when size became 0.
Resurrected some old code in ant.c so now ant and bug have an -eyes switch.
(In the case of bug, it does not let the bug see any better, it just
shows the direction its facing). So far its for neighbors = 4 or 8 only
in ant ... (and bug also has neighbor = 6 setup). The graphics leaves
some room for improvement.
bug now can have 4 or 8 neighbors and restarts if all bugs die (this did
not always work before).
-cpasswd will now work if system uses shadow passwords even if not
configured with --enable-xlockrc .
matrix mode thanks to Erik O'Shaughness <eriko@austin.ibm.com>.
Miscellaneous patches to this mode (less warnings, unexpected events,
leaks thanks to Tom Schmidt, Jouk Jansen and myself). The font seems
is from X11.
rubik.c now supports LxMxN cubes where non-square faces turn 180 degrees.
(nx2n 90 degree turns or known more generally as "banded cubes" is yet
another level of complication which I will not attempt... yet).
fizzle and spiral erase modes ported from xscreensaver thanks to
Jouk Jansen <joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.nl>.
showmodes.sh fixed... need nawk or gawk not awk
loop now has a mechanism to realize when the lifeforms are dead.
Still some futile life is not caught (i.e life that will eventually
repeat itself).
A way for users to unlock each others display. Kind of defeats
the lock but the unlocked user is mailed and and entry is
written to syslogd. Thanks to Mark Kirk <mkirk@pdi.com> for
his vizlock-1.0 patch. Compile-time switch for this is GLOBAL_UNLOCK.
This is probably full of security holes when enabled... :)
decay update. Now does not show user screen by default. +hide will
decay the screen. Also want to update it so that it randomizes the
position of the screen in the little password window when +hide is used.
bug mode bugfix (fixed a rare segmentation fault) thanks to
Mike Coleman <mkc@kc.net>.
Cleaned up a warning in invert mode and some extra files.
mandelbrot update by Tim AuckLand <tim.auckland@corp.sun.com>
-binary Modulates the colours to indicate the "Binary Decomposition"
of the exterior of the mandelbrot set.
-dem Instead of displaying 'escape times', display an estimate of the
distance between the point to be coloured and the set.
xpm modes should refresh better now when the colormap changes.
decay and lyapunov taken out of unstable category.
lament changed for latest MesaGL version, text3d updates for fortunes
thanks to Jouk Jansen <joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.nl>
Red and Blue swapped for -use3d to conform with my glasses from Sun,
National Geographic, and Insight.
Colormap problems fixed when two xlock (with -install) run (this can
happen if xautolock is running and you lock the machine manually)
thanks to Jouk Jansen <joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.nl>
New space mode from <Vincent.Caron@ecl1999.ec-lyon.fr>. Probably will
combine the best features of star and space for a new star mode.
You must compile it in with --enable-unstable even though it seems
to be stable...
Changed my e-mail address to bagleyd@tux.org... the old one will still
work (as long as the new one does).
