* 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.

by helping it find "libxml" and "libjpeg" and adding depencencies
for them. Also, "gdk_pixbuf" gets favored now over "Xpm" anyway,
so add an explicit dependency for it, too.
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.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
she-bang lines properly. While we're at at, fake PERL_VERSION, if
necessary (i.e. lie brazenly if ${PERL} is not found), so we can build
this package correctly, even _without_ actually having perl installed!
and *BSD (allows to simplify the package somewhat), and revamped
Screensaver Options: xscreensaver now lets you configure your DPMS
settings. More detail on the web page --

[The README in the package currently only goes to 3.27.]
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.
"bsod", "xflame", "flow", "xteevee" and "webcollage"; added support
for Kerberos5 [if KERBEROS is set in /etc/mk.conf]; xscreensaver-demo
now installs itself into the Gnome Control Center [if USE_GNOME is set
in /etc/mk.conf]. The Screensaver panel in gnomecc now actually works!
* unconditionally install xscreensaver.kss (KDE screensaver module),
don't rely on the user having KDEDIR set in his environment
* Install xscreensaver.kss using BSD_INSTALL_SCRIPT, as it's a shell
script, not a binary.
* xscreensaver.kss wanted /bin/bash, make it use /bin/sh
* Make xscreensaver.kss aware of $PREFIX, don't hardcode /usr/X11R6
