+ and `glforestfire'.
+ * New hacks `apollonian', `euler2d', `juggle',

+ hacks could sometimes leave the screen wedged, if the

+ 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.

`Blank Screen', and `Don't Blank' (in addition to the
historical `Random Screen Saver').
