+If you are upgrading, you might want to delete your ~/.xscreensaver file.
+If you don't, you might not see the new graphics modes. If you are upgrading
+from version 2.* to version 3.*, definitely do delete your .xscreensaver file.

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
============
+Changes since 3.06: * Configure tweaks (sometimes -lXmu wasn't getting linked
+ in properly; check for _Xsetlocale in -lXintl.)
+ * Portability fixes for sonar.c.
+ * Fixed a compilation problem when you have GL but don't
+ have XPM.
+ * Made configure notice when MesaGL requires -lpthread.
+ * Made `flame' ignore SIGFPE (not sure if this is the
+ right fix; it seems only to be needed on FreeBSD.)
+ * Kludged `rd-bomb' work on visuals that are of depth 24
+ but that *do not* support pixmaps of depth 32.
+ * Fixed `halo' to work properly in TrueColor.
+ * Changed `xscreensaver.spec' to install the hacks in
+ /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/ by default, since that's
+ where recent Red Hat distributions put them.
+ * Added `t3d' hack.
+ * Updated versions of `crystal', `hopalong', and `flow'
+ from xlockmore.
+ * Imported `demon' and `loop' modes from xlockmore.
+Changes since 3.05: * Oops, the "default-n" visual descriptor was broken;
+ it was always installing a colormap if the
+ `installColormap' preference was set, meaning that
+ `xearth', `xv' and friends were using the wrong
+ colors on 8-bit systems.
+ * Turned off HAVE_PING in `sonar', since it compiles
+ on some Linux systems, but not others of similar
+ vintage...
+Changes since 3.04: * Fixed an off-by-1 in `distort'.
+ * Added `sonar' hack.
+ * New version of `glplanet' (with stars.)
+ * Made all hacks exit when you type `q' or `ESC' at them,
+ and made them obey the WM_DELETE_WINDOW ClientMessage.
+ * Fixed a nonfatal buffer overrun in lament (note:
+ lament still doesn't work with MesaGL 3.0: it dies in
+ lambda_textured_triangle1(), which is Mesa's bug, not
+ mine.)
+Changes since 3.03: * Added an `xscreensaver.spec' file, to make it easier
+ for other folks to generate RPMs.
+ * Made the password code work on HPUX in the situation
+ where: ``enhanced security'' is available; but not
+ used; but the user typed a password more than 8
+ characters long anyway. 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.
