============
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.
-
-More than 140 such programs are included. For details, see the xscreensaver
-web page, or the enclosed manual pages.

============
+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 non-root 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',
