XScreenSaver
- a screen saver and locker for the X window system
- by Jamie Zawinski
+ a collection of
+ free screen savers
+ for X11 and MacOS
- http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/
-
-To build on Unix:
-
- - ./configure
- - make
- - make install
-
-The `configure' shell script will attempt to figure out which options are
-appropriate for your system, and will create config.h and the various
-Makefiles for you. Run `configure --help' to see how to override these
-choices, or to specify things like the default installation directory.
-The file `INSTALL' gives a general overview of use of these sorts of
-configure scripts (those generated by the GNU autoconf system.)
-The most important hint is probably this:
-
- ./configure --with-motif=/opt/Motif --with-xpm=/usr/local
+ By Jamie Zawinski
+ and many others
-To build on VMS, see README.VMS.
-
-If you are upgrading from version 2.* to version 3.*, be sure to delete
-your ~/.xscreensaver file first, if you have one.
-
-If you think you've found a bug, please let me know! No bug report is too
-small. But first, please read the enclosed `README.debugging' file to find
-out what kind of information would be most helpful to include in your bug
-report.
-
-Getting Started:
-
-You can try out xscreensaver like so:
+ http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/
- xscreensaver &
- xscreensaver-demo
+===============================================================================
-Note: unlike `xlock', xscreensaver has a client-server model: the
-`xscreensaver' process is a daemon that runs in the background; it is
-controlled by the foreground `xscreensaver-demo' program.
+This is the XScreenSaver source code distribution. It is strongly recommended
+that you install a binary release rather than trying to compile it yourself.
+Binaries are available for almost all platforms, including MacOS X. See the
+XScreenSaver web site for details.
-xscreensaver has an extensive manual -- please read it!
+To compile on a Unix system with X11:
- ============
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
-The xscreensaver daemon waits until the keyboard and mouse have been idle
-for a period, and then runs a graphics demo chosen at random. The demo is
-terminated as soon as there is any mouse or keyboard activity (or, in
-locking mode, when the proper password is typed.)
+To compile on MacOS X:
-It is trivially easy to add new display modes to xscreensaver: any program
-which can be invoked in such a way that it draws on the root window of the
-screen can be used as a screensaver. You just change a config file --
-there's no need to recompile or reinstall anything.
+ Use the included XCode project. Requires XCode 2.4 and MacOS X 10.4.0
+ or newer.
- ============
+Interested in writing a new screen saver?
-Along with the xscreensaver daemon itself, this package also includes
-numerous graphics hacks for use as screensavers. There is nothing magic
-about these: they are just programs that draw on the root window.
+ See the README.hacking file.
-More than 120 such programs are included. For details, see the xscreensaver
-web page, or the enclosed manual pages.
+===============================================================================
-The latest version of xscreensaver is always available on the web at
-http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/.
+XScreenSaver has an extensive manual -- please read it!
- ============
+===============================================================================
+Changes since 5.05: * Xinerama/RANDR fixes: this time for sure. It should
+ now work to add/remove monitors or resize screens at
+ any time.
+ * New hack, `skytentacles'.
+ * New version of `gleidescope'.
+ * Added the `-log' option to the xscreensaver daemon,
+ since a truly shocking number of Linux users seem to
+ have no idea how to redirect output to a file.
+ * Added `-duration' arg to most image-loading hacks,
+ so that they pick a new image every few minutes.
+ * Added an ATM crash to BSOD.
+Changes since 5.04: * New hacks, `cubicgrid', `hypnowheel', and
+ `lcdscrub' (which isn't really a screen saver).
+ * Updates to `m6502' and `gears'.
+ * Fixed double-buffering problems in `cubestorm' and
+ `noof'.
+ * Better handling of horizontal scroll wheels.
+ * Attempt to work around latest Xinerama braindamage:
+ if the server reports overlapping screens, use the
+ largest non-overlapping rectangles available.
+ * Don't warning about receipt of bogus ClientMessages,
+ since Gnome's just never going to stop sending those.
+ * Worked around MacOS 10.5 perl bug that caused the
+ text-displaying hacks to fail on some systems.
+ * Hopefully fixed font-related System Preferences crashes
+ in MacOS savers.
+ * The recent PAM changes broke the "Caps Lock" warning
+ in the password dialog, the failed login warnings, and
+ syslogging. Fixed all that.
+Changes since 5.03: * Fixed a possible crash in the unlock dialog (more
+ fallout from the recent PAM changes...)
+ * New hacks, `moebiusgears', `abstractile', and
+ `lockward'.
+ * Rewrote `gears' to use better (involute) gear models,
+ and to be more random.
+ * Minor updates to `cwaves', `voronoi', `deco',
+ `glcells', `rd-bomb', `fireworkx' and `webcollage'.
+ * `pong' can now display the current time as the score.
+ * `xmatrix -mode pipe' works better.
+ * Minor tweaks for compilation on MacOS 10.5.0.
+Changes since 5.02: * New hacks, `cwaves', `glcells', `m6502', and `voronoi'.
+ * Minor fixes to `bsod'.
+ * Fixed possible crash with PAM USB-dongle auth.
+ * Updated `webcollage' to track recent Google Images
+ and Flickr changes.
+Changes since 5.01: * Reworked PAM code to support fingerprint readers, etc.
+ * Ported 'webcollage' to OSX.
+ * Added OSX 10.2 and 10.3 kernel panics to `bsod'.
+ * Fixed a Xinerama crash when changing the screen count.
+ * New blobbier `mirrorblob'.
+ * Minor updates to `lisa', `bsod', `ifs', `hypertorus',
+ `polytopes', `circuit', `endgame', `crackberg',
+ `flipflop', `flipscreen3d', `fliptext', and `carousel'.
+ * Enabled multi-threaded OpenGL on OSX.
+Changes since 5.00: * Backed out recent locale-related changes, since they
+ broke far more things than they fixed.
+ * Fail gracefully with ridiculously small window sizes.
+ * `xflame' and `flag' ignore bitmap option on MacOS.
+ * `speedmine' prefs work on MacOS.
+ * Better explosions in `boxed'.
+ * More dynamic motion in `sproingies'.
+ * More options in `flipflop'.
+ * Minor updates to `topblock'.
+ * Various other minor fixes.
+Changes since 4.24: * Ported to MacOS X! (10.4.0 or newer)
+ * API change: instead of providing a single screenhack()
+ function that does not return, screen savers using the
+ screenhack.h framework must now provide "init" and
+ "draw one frame" functions instead. All bundled savers
+ have been updated; third-party patches will need work.
+ * All image-loading happens asynchronously.
+ * xscreensaver-getimage-file caches the contents of the
+ image directory for a few hours, so consecutive runs
+ won't have to re-list the whole directory tree.
+ * New hacks, `topblock' and `glschool'.
+ * Removed `xteevee' (superceded by `xanalogtv').
+ * Added variable-sized puzzle pieces to `jigsaw'.
+ * Changes to the defaults and command-line options of
+ many hacks to make the .xml files more consistent.
+ * Reap zombies in `glslideshow' and `carousel'.
+ * `sonar' works without setuid on OSX (dgram icmp).
+ * `xmatrix -mode pipe' displays the text of a subprocess.
+ * `endgame' has higher resolution chess-piece models.
+ * `webcollage' takes a -directory option to get images
+ from a local directory.
+ * The RPM spec file no longer auto-restarts xscreensaver
+ when a new version is installed. Restart it manually.
+Changes since 4.23: * New versions of `cube21', `glsnake', `celtic'.
+ * Backed out a DPMS-related patch that cause desktop
+ flickering with some X servers.
+ * Fixed startup crash in getgroups() when running setuid.
+ * Default to not displaying stderr on the saver window.
+ * Fixed bad free() in "Documentation" button.
+ * Don't try to run hacks that aren't installed.
+ * Minor fixes to various XML config files and man pages.
+Changes since 4.22: * New hacks, `glhanoi', `cube21', `timetunnel',
+ `juggler3d', and `celtic'.
+ * New versions of `tangram', `webcollage', `hypertorus',
+ `polytopes', and `ripples'.
+ * `sonar' is now quiet about unresolvable hosts.
+ * Minor corrections to BASIC code in `apple2'.
+ * xscreensaver-demo now provides an RPM clue when none
+ of the hacks seem to be installed.
+ * Don't install `ant' by default, since there is some
+ Java tool of that name, which was causing confusion.
+ And also it's boring.
+ * Made screen grabbing work again on MacOS 10.4.2.
+ * No longer prints bogus warnings about ClientMessages
+ intended for the window manager.
+ * Ignore unprintable characters in passwd entry field.
+ * Fixed yet another cross-host-display image-loading
+ endian problem.
+ * `xscreensaver-command -watch' and `-time' now work
+ on 64-bit machines.
+Changes since 4.21: * Fixed a bug in the new mouse-motion code that caused
+ the screen to never blank on multi-head non-Xinerama
+ systems. Oops.
+ * New hacks, `interaggregate', `antmaze', `tangram',
+ and `crackberg'.
+ * Minor tweaks to `fiberlamp', `ifs', `slidescreen',
+ `zoom', `sonar', `fireworkx', `whirlwindwarp',
+ `bubble3d', and `rd-bomb'.
+ * Added motion blur to `blinkbox'.
+ * `bsod' now includes Longhorn's "RSOD", and OS/2.
+ * Fixed `-wireframe' usage in most hacks and man pages.
+Changes since 4.20: * New hack: `fliptext'.
+ * Changed default configure installation directories:
+ /usr/bin/ for xscreensaver, etc.;
+ /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/ for hacks;
+ /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/ for xml files.
+ * All the text-manipulating screen savers can have their
+ text source configured via `xscreensaver-demo' now.
+ * xscreensaver.spec now builds three RPMs:
+ base (no hacks); extras (2d hacks); and gl-extras.
+ * Added `-program' and `-front' option to `gltext'.
+ * Added `-shells' to `molecule'.
+ * Fixed text-alpha glitch in `carousel'.
+ * New `pacman': the ghosts can be killed now.
+ * Fixed a bug in screen-grabbing GL hacks where images
+ would be tiled instead of scaled on machines that
+ can't do large textures.
+ * `webcollage' can hit Flickr now.
+ * New (rewritten) implementation of `ifs'.
+ * The unlock dialog can be made to have a "New Login"
+ button that will run `gdmflexiserver'. Experimental!
+ * Fixed non-ASCII display bug in `starwars'.
+ * Configure finds a default for imageDirectory.
+ * "xscreensaver-command -lock" now works even if
+ in "screensaver disabled" mode.
+ * If a bad password is typed while CapsLock is on, the
+ unlock dialog says "CapsLock?" instead of "Sorry".
+ * Mouse motion only counts as activity if the mouse moved
+ more than 10 pixels (so the screen won't unblank every
+ time you bump your desk.)
+ * New mode option "random-same": if you have multiple
+ monitors, this will run the *same* randomly chosen
+ hack on each screen, instead of different ones on each.
+Changes since 4.19: * New hacks, `fiberlamp', `boing', `boxfit', and
+ `carousel'.
+ * Rewrote `glslideshow' again: should be faster now.
+ * Sped up loading of images in GL programs.
+ * `starwars' uses texture-mapped fonts now.
+ * New `bsod' modes: tru64, hppa, and nvidia.
+ * Updates to `webcollage', `juggle', `pinion',
+ `fireworkx', `sonar', `extrusion', `substrate', and
+ `pong'.
+Changes since 4.18: * New hacks, `substrate', `intermomentary', `fireworkx',
+ and `pinion'.
+ * New version of `flow'.
+ * Made /proc/interrupts work again on Linux 2.6.
+ * Made `analogtv' not hog the CPU.
+ * Made analogtv-based hacks work properly on PPC/ARM.
+ * Fixed a bad memory leak in `piecewise'.
+ * Minor updates to `sonar', `molecule', `glmatrix',
+ `galaxy', and `webcollage'.
+ * Removed support for GTK 1.x (everyone uses 2.x now.)
+Changes since 4.17: * Oops, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
+Changes since 4.16: * New hacks, `anemotaxis' and `memscroller'.
+ * Fixed a bad bug that caused `vidwhacker' to never die.
+ * Fixed normals and lighting in `polyhedra'.
+ * Don't reuse the window when changing hacks (to work
+ around bugs in some GL implementations.)
+ * Made `xscreensaver-getimage-file' skip thumbnail-sized
+ images.
+ * Fixed endian problem in `barcode' on non-x86.
+ * Updates to `webcollage', `apple2', `fuzzyflakes',
+ `atunnel', and `pacman'.
+ * Timing tweaks to `bubble3d', `bouncingcow', `engine',
+ `gltext', `lavalite', `molecule', `spotlight',
+ `sballs', `boxed', `blinkbox', and `circuit'.
+ * Configure updates for Fedora core 2 / xorg 6.7.0.
+ * Compile without warnings under gcc 3.3.3.
+ * I give up: don't blank or lock the screen if we can't
+ get a keyboard grab. In that case, both choices are
+ bad.
+Changes since 4.15: * New hacks, `polyhedra', `fuzzyflakes', `antinspect',
+ and `providence'.
+ * Minor updates to `webcollage', `bsod', `endgame',
+ `antspotlight', `xmatrix', and `glmatrix'.
+ * Added support for the RANDR (Resize and Rotate)
+ extension to detect when the size of the desktop has
+ been changed while xscreensaver is already running.
+ * Possibly-futile attempt to work around "rdesktop"
+ focus/grab idiocy.
+ * Made `xscreensaver-getimage -file' still work even if
+ imageDirectory is unset.
+ * Convert Latin1 to ASCII in `starwars' and `phosphor'
+ (since the GLUT font only has ASCII glyphs.)
+ * Fixed randomization in `noof'.
+ * Added "GetViewPortIsFullOfLies" preference to work
+ around longstanding XFree86 bug #421.
+ * Made `sonar' subnet pinging work properly on bigendian
+ machines (e.g., PPC.)
+Changes since 4.14: * 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.
+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.
+Changes since 4.12: * 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'.
+Changes since 4.11: * 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.
+Changes since 4.10: * 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,
+ since it was still causing people GL grief.
+ * Various minor fixes.
+Changes since 4.08: * 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'.
+Changes since 4.06: * 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.)
+Changes since 4.01: * 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.
+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.
+ * 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.
+Changes since 3.34: * 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.
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'
* New GL hack, `circuit'.
* Added `fuzz' mode to `decayscreen'.
* New version of `whirlygig'.
- * Added links to `glplanet' and `sphereEversion'.
+ * Added links to `xplanet' and `sphereEversion'.
* Fixed rare race condition that could make `sonar' hang.
* Fixed potential crash in `speedmine'.
* Made `xscreensaver-demo' not crash when imageDirectory
is no longer needed.
* New versions of `rotzoomer' and `nerverot'.
* Fixed an OSF/1 compilation problem in `molecule'.
-Changes since 3.29: * New hacks, `molecule' `dangerball', and `rotzoomer'.
+Changes since 3.29: * New hacks, `molecule', `dangerball', and `rotzoomer'.
* New version of `gflux'.
* Made `gltext' able to display the current time.
* Fixed a floating-point-precision problem in `gltext'
Changes since 1.8: * Added demo mode, and locking.
* Added `maze' hack.
* Added `norotate' option to `rocks' hack.
+Changes since 1.4: * Works when run from XDM before anyone logs in.
+ * Sped up `imsmap'.
+ * Can use `xv' as a slideshow without using up colormap
+ entries while the screen is not blanked.
+ * Fixed a BadDrawable error in non-XIdle mode.
+ * Added `blitspin' and `imsmap'.
+Changes since 1.0: * Current list of included hacks is now: qix, helix,
+ rorschach, attraction, greynetic, rocks, pyro,
+ hopalong, and noseguy.
