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 90 such programs are included. For details, see the xscreensaver
+More than 100 such programs are included. For details, see the xscreensaver
web page, or the enclosed manual pages. There are also some helpful hints
on customization in the xscreensaver app-defaults file (normally installed
in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver.)
============
+Changes since 3.22: * Fixed some misplaced text fields in the Motif version
+ of xscreensaver-demo; fixed a crash in the Gtk version
+ that would happen if the programs list was empty.
+ * Fixed a recently-introduced bug in `pulsar'.
+ * Made `sierpinski3d' use solid tetrahedrons instead of
+ points.
+ * Added `-trace' option to `xmatrix'.
+ * Added new hacks `xteevee' and `xspirograph'.
+Changes since 3.21: * Fixed some bugs in xscreensaver-demo.
+ * Rewrote the Motif version of xscreensaver-demo to
+ match the new Gtk version.
+ * The Athena toolkit is no longer supported.
+Changes since 3.20: * Tweaked the xscreensaver-demo UI (Gtk only.)
+ * Fixed a few visual selection bugs. I think the proper
+ GL visual should be used with nVidia systems now.
+ * Made the Makefiles obey $install_prefix.
+ * Made the `xscreensaver.spec' file able to generate both
+ GL and non-GL packages simultaniously.
+Changes since 3.19: * Added new hacks `ripples' and `sierpinski3d'.
+ * Made `xscreensaver-command -exit' be silent when no
+ screen saver was running (instead of complaining.)
+ * Made `webcollage' and `vidwhacker' use `xloadimage'
+ when available (in addition to `xli' and `xv'.)
+ * Improved memory usage in `petri' and gave it a hard
+ cap on how much memory it can allocate.
+ * Added `-watch' option to `xscreensaver-command'.
+ * Made `xscreensaver-demo' come up with the
+ most-recently-run hack selected by default.
+ * Rewrote the Gtk version of `xscreensaver-demo'.
+ It's a lot easier to use now.
+ * Extended the format of the programs list in the
+ .xscreensaver file, for the benefit of the new
+ capabilities of `xscreensaver-demo'.
+ NOTE: you might want to delete your ~/.xscreensaver
+ file and allow it to be re-created! The old one
+ should still work, but xscreensaver-demo won't be as
+ pretty.
+Changes since 3.18: * Fixed gcc dependencies in `bumps' and `ccurve'.
+ * New hack, `extrusion'.
+ * Some of the web sites that `webcollage' was using as
+ its sources changed formats; tweaked it to understand
+ the current layouts.
+ * Added typeahead in the password dialog: if the screen
+ is locked, and you unlock it by typing a character,
+ that key will be automatically inserted in the
+ password dialog (unless it is Return, Enter, Space,
+ or a non-printing key like Shift.)
+ * Made `xmatrix' take a `-small' option, since some
+ folks with tiny screens prefer a smaller font.
+Changes since 3.17: * New versions of `shadebobs', `lmorph', and `distort'.
+ * Added `ccurve', `blaster', and `bumps' hacks.
+ * Replaced `forest' hack with a rewritten version.
+ * Worked around a Xinerama server bug.
+ * Fixed a bug I introduced in 3.10 that caused some
+ hacks to print out superfluous warnings about not
+ having gotten enough colors.
+ * Made `sproingies' obey the `-delay' option.
+ * Fixed a portability bug in `shadebobs'.
+ * Made `webcollage' and `vidwhacker' use `xli' in
+ preference to `xv', if it is available.
+ * Added a new source of images to `webcollage'.
+ * If running under KDE, xscreensaver will add itself to
+ KDE's list of screensavers (via xscreensaver.kss.)
+ * Improved detection of GL libraries.
+ * Made the password dialog include the date and time.
+Changes since 3.16: * New version of `webcollage' -- deals better with
+ corrupted images, and can use an http proxy.
+ * New hack, `xsublim' (run it in the background,
+ rather than adding it to the programs list.)
+ * The xscreensaver daemon was leaking a file descriptor
+ each time you edited your .xscreensaver file. Fixed.
+Changes since 3.15: * New version of `shadebobs'.
+ * Improved image selection in `webcollage', and sped it
+ up slightly.
+ * Made configure find the right version of perl.
+ * Rewrote the CGI part of `webcollage'.
+ * `make clean' was deleting some things it shouldn't.
+ * Fixed a typo in the default programs list.
+Changes since 3.14: * Added `webcollage' and `shadebobs' hacks.
+ * Added a `-stdout' arg to `vidwhacker' so that it can
+ be used in a pipeline.
+ * Made `petri' use less memory.
+Changes since 3.13: * Various improvements to the Gtk port.
+ * Turned off PAM by default on Solaris, since PAM seems
+ generally to be misconfigured out-of-the-box.
+ * Made the `--without-gtk' configure option work.
+ * Made configure check the Gtk version number, since it
+ requires 1.2.
+ * Fixed a bug in the code that attempted to prevent
+ changes of screen resolution while the screen is
+ locked.
+ * Fixed a race condition in `xscreensaver-demo' that
+ could cause an X error at startup.
+ * Added `-transparent' option to `deluxe'.
+ * Added `petri' hack.
+Changes since 3.12: * Ported `xscreensaver-demo' to Gtk.
+ * Made it possible to build Motif, Gtk, and Athena
+ versions of `xscreensaver-demo' in the same directory
+ without reconfiguring.
+ * Made `xscreensaver-demo' chase symlinks before writing
+ the .xscreensaver file, so that if .xscreensaver is
+ itself a symlink, the underlying file will be replaced
+ instead.
+ * Some Makefile and configure tweaks for Solaris and
+ FreeBSD.
+ * Made it possible to set the fire color in `xflame'.
+ * Made transparency work in TrueColor (for `goop' and
+ `qix'.)
+ * Fixed a multi-head bug introduced by the virtual
+ viewports stuff.
Changes since 3.11: * Made it so that you can't scroll the screen while the
lock dialog is up (with XFree86 virtual viewports.)
* Fixed a bug in `flag' that caused bob's chin to get cut
