* New hacks, `wormhole', `mismunch', `noof', and
`pacman'.
* `phosphor' and `apple2' include vt100 emulators now:
this means you can do "phosphor -program top", or
can use either program as an xterm replacement:
"apple2 -text -fast -program 'xemacs -nw'".
* `analogtv' (and related) fill the screen better.
* The '-gradient' option works in `atlantis' now.
* Minor updates to `blinkbox', `queens', `endgame',
`glmatrix', `mirrorblob', `blocktube', and `molecule'.
* Integrated SuSE's "external passwd helper" support.
* Marginally better /tmp handling in various programs.
* Updated config defaults for xplanet 1.0.3.
* Portability fixes.
number, if there was one (which, of course, makes me bump PKGREVISION
to 1 for all three xscreensaver pkgs (are we really supposed to bump
PKGREVISION for each pkg individually?)). This eliminates the
confusion where pkg_info says version "4.14nb1" is installed, yet the
dialogue says it's onlu version "4.14".
Also, fix the conflicts for the screensaver pkg so that it properly
conflicts with xscreensaver-gnome<4.14 (not <1.14).
xscreensaver-demo program (which requires GTK). This is done to allow
xscreensaver coexist with xscreensaver-gnome, and to avoid a dependancy
on GTK when installing kdeartwork3.
Changes since 4.13:
* New hacks, `fontglide', `apple2', `xanalogtv', `pong',
`gleidescope', `mirrorblob', and `blinkbox'.
* New version of `glsnake' (with many more models.)
* Another Windows crash in `bsod'; also HVX/GCOS6/TPS6.
* New version of `endgame'.
* Screen grabbing works on MacOS X.
* Various minor fixes.
Ok'ed by wiz@.
- The demo now needs --crapplet to run properly in the control-center
(undoubtedly, short for "control-center applet"). ;-)
- There's no need to haphazardly install the gnome2 applet into the gnome1
directories, as the package gnome2 control-center will presumably use
the directories designated for it.
4.13
* On Xinerama systems, xscreensaver now runs one hack on each
monitor (just like in ``real'' multi-head mode) instead of running
one hack stretching across all the screens. Note that for this to
work with any 3rd party screensavers, they must update their
``vroot.h'' file.
* webcollage and vidwhacker display images using xscreensaver-getimage now.
* Added ljlatest script for use with starwars and phosphor.
4.12
* New GL hacks, flipflop, antspotlight, and polytopes.
* Added VMS to bsod.
* Compile without warnings in ``gcc -pedantic''.
* Updates to webcollage and queens.
* Fixed a bug that could cause PAM to hang.
* New hacks, `hypertorus', `cubestorm', `glknots', `blocktube',
and `glmatrix'.
* Updates to `cloudlife', `engine', `xmatrix', and `sonar'.
* Rewrote `glslideshow': it should work on somewhat wimpier
video cards now.
* Various portability tweaks.
Changes since 4.09: * New hacks, `cloudlife' and `klein'.
* Added Apple ][+, HPUX, and OS/390 sessions to BSOD.
* Added some Matrix Reloaded text to `xmatrix'.
* Updates to `webcollage', `eruption', `jigglypuff',
`metaballs', and `endgame'.
* Completely ignore the `memoryLimit' setting now.
* New hacks, flyingtoasters, bouncingcow, jigglypuff, and glslideshow.
* More models in engine.
* Rewrote xscreensaver-getimage to remove reliance on external image loaders
(xv, chbg, xloadimage, etc.) and to reduce flicker when loading files.
* Made gflux and flipscreen3d be mouse-spinnable.
Changes since 4.07: * New hacks, `atunnels' and `piecewise'.
* Physics improvement in `fluidballs'.
* Various fixes for XDarwin systems (X11 on MacOS X.)
* Added -clock option to `barcode'.
* Minor fixes to `endgame', `flurry', `flipscreen3d',
and `gflux'.
* New hacks, `flurry', `metaballs', `eruption', `popsquares', and `barcode'.
* Minor updates to `maze' for high density mazes.
* Added double buffering to `fluidballs' and `whirlygig'.
* Bug fixes for running xscreensaver to a remote XFree86 display
(which nobody would ever do...)
* Updated `webcollage' (faster Alta Vista searching.)
* Updated `glplanet' so the sun sets in the west.
* Updated `sproingies' with smooth, unsegmented surfaces.
* Fixed Perl version-sensitivity in `xscreensaver-getimage-file'.
* Fixed GTK2 scrolling bug in `xscreensaver-demo'.
Changes since 4.05: * New hack, `glblur' (disabled by default, since it
requires fast OpenGL texture support.)
* New hack, `halftone'.
* Updates to `endgame', `queens', `bumps', `glplanet',
`engine', and `circuit'.
* New version of `menger' that uses far fewer polygons.
* Fixed minor bug in `critical' that could cause some
bogus X servers to crash.
* Better labels in `molecule': the labels now appear to
be attached to the atoms, instead of floating in front
of the whole scene.
* Fixed bug that could rarely cause GL hacks to fail to
double-buffer (causing intermittent flickering.)
* Fixed a relative-URL-parsing bug in `webcollage'.
* Fixed a bug that (sometimes) caused the window manager
close box to kill `xscreensaver-demo' with a crash
instead of a graceful exit.
* Updated xscreensaver.pam to the Red Hat 7.3 way.
* More Gnome2-related configure crap.
* Updated to latest `config.guess' and `config.sub'.
* Fixed occasional core dump in `distort'.
* Added a Linux fsck failure and kernel panic to `bsod'.
* Added MacOS X kernel panic to `bsod'.
* Fixed a bug in `bsod' (all bsod bugs are ironic.)
* Fixed a bug that caused `xscreensaver-gl-helper' to
print a nonsense visual ID with some versions of
`printf': this could cause GL programs to display
incorrectly (e.g., flickery.)
Changes since 4.04: * More `configure' tweaks to try and get things working
on systems that both Gtk 1.x and 2.x installed.
* New hack, `endgame'.
* Minor updates to `gltext'.
Changes since 4.03: * Support for GTK 2.x / GNOME 2.x.
* The `configure' script will now use `pkg-config' if
you have it, in preference to `gtk-config', etc.
* New hacks, `lavalite', `queens', and `anemone'.
* Minor updates to `spheremonics', `gltext', `xmatrix'.
* You can use the mouse to manually spin most of the GL
hacks now (when they are displaying in a window.)
* Fixed a bug in `webcollage' (due to recent Alta Vista
url changes) that was causing it to try and load
incorrect image URLs.
* Made `xscreensaver-getimage' use gdk_pixbuf if it is
available: this means that those hacks that load images
will no longer rely on "xv", "xloadimage", etc. This
will close a race condition that could sometimes cause
your desktop background to be changed; and also makes
it possible for those programs to operate on image
files when running in windowed mode.
* `webcollage' can now be used in conjunction with
`driftnet' to display images snooped from your local
ethernet instead of obtained from search engines.
* Added man pages for all the hacks that didn't have
them.
Changes since 4.02: * New hack, `spheremonics'.
* Minor updates to `webcollage', `cage', `moebius',
`morph3d', `boxed', `circuit', and `helix'.
* `pulsar' and `extrusion' can now load texture JPEGs.
* `rubik' now does non-square cubes.
* `fluidballs' now does various sizes of balls.
* `menger' and `sierpinski3d' now also show polygon
counts in -fps mode.
* `molecule' displays real subscripts in the formulae.
* GTK internationalization/localization support.
* Better detection of the various versions of libxml.
* Upgraded to autoconf 2.53 (from 2.13.)
* Plugged a few minor leaks in `xscreensaver' and `xscreensaver-demo'.
* New hacks, `cubenetic' and `fluidballs'.
* Sped up `pipes'.
* Fixed sphere projection error in `glplanet'; installed a better image
of earth.
* Added Win2K and MacOS 1 crashes to `bsod'.
* Put back previous (better) version of `forest' that was accidentially
downgraded in the last release.
* New version of `bumps'.
* Made FPS computation in GL hacks more efficient: it will influence the
results less, thus resulting in higher (but more accurate) reported frame
rates.
all dependencies on packages depending on "png" which contain shared
libraries, all for the (imminent) update to the "png" package.

Changes since 4.00:
* New hacks: `twang', `glsnake', `boxed', `sballs', and `glforestfire'.
* New hacks `apollonian', `euler2d', `juggle', `polyominoes' and
`thornbird', from xlockmore.
* Merged recent xlockmore changes into `ant', `braid', `demon',
`discrete', `drift', `fadeplot', `forest', `grav', `hopalong',
`ifs', `laser', `lightning', `lisa', `lissie', `loop', `mountain',
`penrose', `rotor', `sierpinski', `slip', `sphere', `spiral',
`strange', and `vines'.
* Fixed the `gltext' bug that sometimes caused horizontal lines to
vanish again. This time for sure.
* Sped up `webcollage' by adding a C helper program to replace the PPM
pipeline. It also pastes images semi-transparently now.
* Added support for the gdk_pixbuf library: if this lib is available,
then `blitspin', `xflame', and `flag' can load GIF, JPEG, and PNG
images in addition to XPM and XBM. [not enabled in pkg]
* Fixed a rare race condition where the desktop-grabbing hacks could
sometimes leave the screen wedged, if the user moved the mouse
exactly when they were grabbing the screen image (it would un-wedge
the next time the saver timed out or was activated.)
* Fixed incorrect colors in the screen-grabbing GL hacks (`gflux' and
`flipscreen3d'.)
* Made SIGHUP restart the daemon process (though using
`xscreensaver-command -restart' is still the preferred way.)
* Tweaks to `xspirograph'.
* Minor configure and portability tweaks.
* Redesigned xscreensaver-demo GUI: it now includes small-preview and
per-hack configuration dialogs.
* Added three new modes of operation: One Screen Saver, Blank Screen,
and Don't Blank (in addition to the historical Random Screen Saver).
* Configure now defaults to installing the hacks in
<prefix>/lib/xscreensaver/ instead of <prefix>/bin/. (Most distros
already did it this way.)
* New GL hacks, menger, engine, flipscreen3d.
* Made sierpinski3d be more colorful.
* New versions of xmatrix and nerverot.
* Fixed a bug in starwars that made the font be drawn with thin lines
in -root mode.
* Fixed a bad colormap bug in crystal that could make subsequent hacks
malfunction!
* Made gflux able to grab screen images (-mode grab).
* Updated webcollage for recent search engine changes.
* Removed most command-line options to xscreensaver: just edit the
~/.xscreensaver file instead.
* Improved behavior on multi-screen and Xinerama systems: the mouse
now stays on the screen where the user left it, and the password and
splash dialogs always appear on the screen that has the mouse.
* Made the splash dialog use more Gtk-like colors; made it have only
two buttons, ``Settings'' and ``Help''.
* Made sonar understand .ssh/known_hosts2 format files, and be better
about stripping out illegal addresses.
couple of new "hacks". The following is straight from the README file.
Changes since 3.33: * Turned `memoryLimit' off by default, sigh. Apparently
some versions of the GL libraries (appear to) allocate
hundreds of megs for every GL program, so `memoryLimit'
was causing GL programs to malfunction or crash on
those systems.
* Improved fading on TrueColor XFree86 4.1.x systems.
* New GL hack, `circuit'.
* Added `fuzz' mode to `decayscreen'.
* New version of `whirlygig'.
* Added links to `glplanet' and `sphereEversion'.
* Fixed rare race condition that could make `sonar' hang.
* Fixed potential crash in `speedmine'.
* Made `xscreensaver-demo' not crash when imageDirectory
was set to a non-existent directory.
* Made `xscreensaver-getimage-video' invoke XawTV's
`streamer' program better.
* Made `phosphor' and `starwars' deal with CR, LF,
or CRLF line endings.
* Changes for Cygwin compilation environments.
* Made `sonar' compile on systems that can't ping.
* Configure changes for HPUX 10.20.
* Made PAM code work on Red Had 4.2 systems.
* Made `xscreensaver-command -deactivate' work when the
saver is not active: what that does is reset the idle
timer, as if keyboard input had been detected. This
was added for the benefit of people writing DVD-playing
software: they can now prevent the screensaver from
kicking in by sending a -deactivate message once a
minute while the movie is playing and not paused.
* Various minor portability tweaks.
conflict with xscreensaver-gnome, as discussed (briefly) on tech-pkg.
Also, reorder some dependencies: gnome-core (rather than gnome) depends
on xscreensaver-gnome, which depends on control-center; bump teeny
version of xscreensaver-gnome so control-center won't try to go with
old binary packages of xscreensaver-gnome, which would lead to circular
dependencies.
Changes since 3.24: * New hack, `nerverot'.
* Added BSD kernel panic to `bsod'.
* New version of `shadebobs'.
* New version of `petri'.
* Updated `webcollage' to handle recent Altavista URL
format changes; made it search the AP photo gallery.
* Revamped command-line options of `sonar' and made it
properly handle subnets.
* The `bubbles' hack can now trickle up or down the screen
.
* The `xsublim' hack can now read its text from programs.
* Support for GLE version 3 in `extrusion'.
* Fixed compilation problems in `maze'.
* Fixed a rare crash in `flow'.
* Fixes for minor installation problems.
