FTSOHPUX. +Changes since 3.02: * Made locking work when passwd aging is enabled. + * Added support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication + Modules.) It is still turned off by default, though, + since it doesn't seem to work on Solaris 2.6, and has + been behaving erratically on Red Hat 5.1. + * Made each possible authentication method be tried in + turn until one succeeds; this means that Kerberos is + being used, we will first check Kerberos, and if that + fails, will then consult the local password file. + Likewise with PAM. + * Save and restore the bits under the passwd dialog, + to avoid leaving a black rectangle behind when + unlocking is cancelled. +Changes since 3.01: * Not everyone has sys/select.h, sigh... +Changes since 3.00: * Some fixes to `reflect'. + * Configure tweaks. + * Made it log unsuccessful attempts to unlock the screen + to syslog. + * Fixed a bug where `xscreensaver-demo' could be seeing + a different programs list than `xscreensaver' did. +Changes since 2.34: * The xscreensaver daemon no longer links against Motif + or Athena: demo-mode and the preferences panel are no + longer built in to the daemon, but are now handled by + an external program, `xscreensaver-demo'. + (I decided that this, along with the recent addition + of the `.xscreensaver' config file, justified bumping + the version number to 3.00, since this is a fairly + major architectural change.) + * Lines in the `*programs' resource may now begin with + the character "-", meaning "don't run this hack." + In this way, it's possible to disable a hack without + throwing away the information about it (making it + easier to change your mind later.) Eventually the + preferences/demo mode GUI should represent this as a + checkbox or something. + * Fixed a short race condition where it was possible for + xscreensaver to die with a BadWindow error if it was + blanking the screen just as another window was being + deleted. + * Made it possible to disable specific modes in `bsod'. Changes since 2.33: * Fixed a bug that was making `pipes' generate way too many valves. Made the viewpoint in `pipes' be selected randomly instead of always being -10 degrees.
