+ XScreenSaver
+
+ a collection of
+ free screen savers
+ for X11, macOS,
+ iOS and Android
+
+ By Jamie Zawinski
+ and many others
+
+ https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/
+
+===============================================================================
+
+This is the XScreenSaver source code distribution. It is strongly recommended
+that you install a binary release rather than trying to compile it yourself.
+Executables are available for almost all platforms, including macOS, iOS, and
+Android. See the XScreenSaver web site for details.
+
+To compile for a Unix system with X11:
+
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
+
+ If you are on an "apt"-based system, "apt-get build-dep xscreensaver"
+ might install most of the compilation dependencies.
+
+To compile for macOS X or iOS:
+
+ Use the included XCode project. Requires XCode 6 and macOS 10.8
+ or newer.
+
+To compile for Android:
+
+ See android/README.
+
+Interested in writing a new screen saver?
+
+ See the README.hacking file.
+
+===============================================================================
+
+XScreenSaver has an extensive manual -- please read it!

+
+5.22 * New hacks, `kaleidocycle', `quasicrystal', `unknownpleasures' and

+ * `xflame' and `flag' ignore bitmap option on macOS.
+ * `speedmine' prefs work on macOS.
+ * Better explosions in `boxed'.
+ * More dynamic motion in `sproingies'.
+ * More options in `flipflop'.
+ * Minor updates to `topblock'.
+ * Various other minor fixes.
+
+5.00 * Ported to macOS! (10.4.0 or newer)
+ * API change: instead of providing a single screenhack() function that
+ does not return, screen savers using the screenhack.h framework must
+ now provide "init" and "draw one frame" functions instead. All
+ bundled savers have been updated; third-party patches will need
+ work.
+ * All image-loading happens asynchronously.
+ * xscreensaver-getimage-file caches the contents of the image
+ directory for a few hours, so consecutive runs won't have to re-list
+ the whole directory tree.

+ * `webcollage' takes a -directory option to get images from a local
+ directory.

+ version is installed. Restart it manually.
+
+4.24 * New versions of `cube21', `glsnake', `celtic'.
+ * Backed out a DPMS-related patch that cause desktop flickering with
+ some X servers.
+ * Fixed startup crash in getgroups() when running setuid.
+ * Default to not displaying stderr on the saver window.
+ * Fixed bad free() in "Documentation" button.
+ * Don't try to run hacks that aren't installed.
+ * Minor fixes to various XML config files and man pages.
+
+4.23 * New hacks, `glhanoi', `cube21', `timetunnel', `juggler3d', and
+ `celtic'.
+ * New versions of `tangram', `webcollage', `hypertorus', `polytopes',
+ and `ripples'.
+ * `sonar' is now quiet about unresolvable hosts.
+ * Minor corrections to BASIC code in `apple2'.
+ * xscreensaver-demo now provides an RPM clue when none of the hacks
+ seem to be installed.
+ * Don't install `ant' by default, since there is some Java tool of
+ that name, which was causing confusion. And also it's boring.
+ * Made screen grabbing work again on macOS 10.4.2.
+ * No longer prints bogus warnings about ClientMessages intended for
+ the window manager.

+ `fireworkx', `whirlwindwarp', `bubble3d', and `rd-bomb'.
+ * Added motion blur to `blinkbox'.
+ * `bsod' now includes Longhorn's "RSOD", and OS/2.
+ * Fixed `-wireframe' usage in most hacks and man pages.
+
+4.21 * New hack: `fliptext'.
+ * Changed default configure installation directories: /usr/bin/ for
+ xscreensaver, etc.; /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/ for hacks;
+ /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/ for xml files.
+ * All the text-manipulating screen savers can have their text source
+ configured via `xscreensaver-demo' now.
+ * xscreensaver.spec now builds three RPMs: base (no hacks); extras (2d
+ hacks); and gl-extras.
+ * Added `-program' and `-front' option to `gltext'.
+ * Added `-shells' to `molecule'.
+ * Fixed text-alpha glitch in `carousel'.
+ * New `pacman': the ghosts can be killed now.
+ * Fixed a bug in screen-grabbing GL hacks where images would be tiled
+ instead of scaled on machines that can't do large textures.
+ * `webcollage' can hit Flickr now.
+ * New (rewritten) implementation of `ifs'.
+ * The unlock dialog can be made to have a "New Login" button that will
+ run `gdmflexiserver'. Experimental!
+ * Fixed non-ASCII display bug in `starwars'.
+ * Configure finds a default for imageDirectory.
+ * "xscreensaver-command -lock" now works even if in "screensaver
+ disabled" mode.
+ * If a bad password is typed while CapsLock is on, the unlock dialog
+ says "CapsLock?" instead of "Sorry".
+ * Mouse motion only counts as activity if the mouse moved more than 10
+ pixels (so the screen won't unblank every time you bump your desk.)
+ * New mode option "random-same": if you have multiple monitors, this
+ will run the *same* randomly chosen hack on each screen, instead of
+ different ones on each.
+
+4.20 * New hacks, `fiberlamp', `boing', `boxfit', and `carousel'.
+ * Rewrote `glslideshow' again: should be faster now.

+ * New `bsod' modes: tru64, hppa, and nvidia.
+ * Updates to `webcollage', `juggle', `pinion', `fireworkx', `sonar',
+ `extrusion', `substrate', and `pong'.
+
+4.19 * New hacks, `substrate', `intermomentary', `fireworkx', and `pinion'.
+ * New version of `flow'.
+ * Made /proc/interrupts work again on Linux 2.6.
+ * Made `analogtv' not hog the CPU.

+
+4.17 * New hacks, `anemotaxis' and `memscroller'.
+ * Fixed a bad bug that caused `vidwhacker' to never die.
+ * Fixed normals and lighting in `polyhedra'.

+ some GL implementations.)
+ * Made `xscreensaver-getimage-file' skip thumbnail-sized images.
+ * Fixed endian problem in `barcode' on non-x86.
+ * Updates to `webcollage', `apple2', `fuzzyflakes', `atunnel', and
+ `pacman'.

+ and `circuit'.
+ * Configure updates for Fedora core 2 / xorg 6.7.0.
+ * Compile without warnings under gcc 3.3.3.
+ * I give up: don't blank or lock the screen if we can't get a keyboard
+ grab. In that case, both choices are bad.
+
+4.16 * New hacks, `polyhedra', `fuzzyflakes', `antinspect', and
+ `providence'.
+ * Minor updates to `webcollage', `bsod', `endgame', `antspotlight',
+ `xmatrix', and `glmatrix'.

+ when the size of the desktop has been changed while xscreensaver is
+ already running.
+ * Possibly-futile attempt to work around "rdesktop" focus/grab idiocy.
+ * Made `xscreensaver-getimage -file' still work even if imageDirectory
+ is unset.
+ * Convert Latin1 to ASCII in `starwars' and `phosphor' (since the GLUT
+ font only has ASCII glyphs.)
+ * Fixed randomization in `noof'.
+ * Added "GetViewPortIsFullOfLies" preference to work around
+ longstanding XFree86 bug #421.
+ * Made `sonar' subnet pinging work properly on bigendian machines
+ (e.g., PPC.)
+
+4.15 * New hacks, `wormhole', `mismunch', `noof', and `pacman'.
+ * `phosphor' and `apple2' include vt100 emulators now: this means you
+ can do "phosphor -program top", or can use either program as an
+ xterm replacement: "apple2 -text -fast -program 'xemacs -nw'".
+ * `analogtv' (and related) fill the screen better.
+ * The '-gradient' option works in `atlantis' now.
+ * Minor updates to `blinkbox', `queens', `endgame', `glmatrix',
+ `mirrorblob', `blocktube', and `molecule'.
+ * Integrated SuSE's "external passwd helper" support.
+ * Marginally better /tmp handling in various programs.
+ * Updated config defaults for xplanet 1.0.3.
+ * Portability fixes.
+
+4.14 * New hacks, `fontglide', `apple2', `xanalogtv', `pong',
+ `gleidescope', `mirrorblob', and `blinkbox'.
+ * New version of `glsnake' (with many more models.)
+ * Another Windows crash in `bsod'; also HVX/GCOS6/TPS6.
+ * New version of `endgame'.
+ * Screen grabbing works on macOS.
+ * Various minor fixes.
+
+4.13 * On Xinerama systems, xscreensaver now runs one hack on each monitor
+ (just like in "real" multi-head mode) instead of running one hack
+ stretching across all the screens. Note that for this to work with
+ any 3rd party screensavers, they must update their "vroot.h" file.
+ * `webcollage' and `vidwhacker' display images using
+ `xscreensaver-getimage' now.
+ * Added `ljlatest' script for use with `starwars' and `phosphor'.
+
+4.12 * New GL hacks, `flipflop', `antspotlight', and `polytopes'.
+ * Added VMS to `bsod'.
+ * Compile without warnings in "gcc -pedantic".
+ * Updates to `webcollage' and `queens'.
+ * Fixed a bug that could cause PAM to hang.
+
+4.11 * New hacks, `hypertorus', `cubestorm', `glknots', `blocktube', and
+ `glmatrix'.
+ * Updates to `cloudlife', `engine', `xmatrix', and `sonar'.
+ * Rewrote `glslideshow': it should work on somewhat wimpier video
+ cards now.
+ * Various portability tweaks.
+
+4.10 * New hacks, `cloudlife' and `klein'.
+ * Added Apple ][+, HPUX, and OS/390 sessions to `bsod'.
+ * Added some Matrix Reloaded text to `xmatrix'.
+ * Updates to `webcollage', `eruption', `jigglypuff', `metaballs', and
+ `endgame'.
+ * Completely ignore the `memoryLimit' setting now, since it was still
+ causing people GL grief.
+ * Various minor fixes.
+
+4.09 * New hacks, `flyingtoasters', `bouncingcow', `jigglypuff', and
+ `glslideshow'.
+ * More models in `engine'.
+ * Rewrote `xscreensaver-getimage' to remove reliance on external image
+ loaders (xv, chbg, xloadimage, etc.) and to reduce flicker when
+ loading files.
+ * Made `gflux' and `flipscreen3d' be mouse-spinnable.
+
+4.08 * New hacks, `atunnels' and `piecewise'.
+ * Physics improvement in `fluidballs'.
+ * Various fixes for XDarwin systems (X11 on macOS.)
+ * Added -clock option to `barcode'.
+ * Minor fixes to `endgame', `flurry', `flipscreen3d', and `gflux'.
+
+
+4.07 * New hacks, `flurry', `metaballs', `eruption', `popsquares', and
+ `barcode'.
+ * Minor updates to `maze' for high density mazes.
+ * Added double buffering to `fluidballs' and `whirlygig'.
+ * Bug fixes for running xscreensaver to a remote XFree86 display
+ (which nobody would ever do...)
+ * Updated `webcollage' (faster Alta Vista searching.)
+ * Updated `glplanet' so the sun sets in the west.
+ * Updated `sproingies' with smooth, unsegmented surfaces.
+ * Fixed Perl version-sensitivity in `xscreensaver-getimage-file'.
+ * Fixed GTK2 scrolling bug in `xscreensaver-demo'.
+
+4.06 * New hack, `glblur' (disabled by default, since it requires fast
+ OpenGL texture support.)
+ * New hack, `halftone'.
+ * Updates to `endgame', `queens', `bumps', `glplanet', `engine', and
+ `circuit'.
+ * New version of `menger' that uses far fewer polygons.
+ * Fixed minor bug in `critical' that could cause some bogus X servers
+ to crash.
+ * Better labels in `molecule': the labels now appear to be attached to
+ the atoms, instead of floating in front of the whole scene.
+ * Fixed bug that could rarely cause GL hacks to fail to double-buffer
+ (causing intermittent flickering.)
+ * Fixed a relative-URL-parsing bug in `webcollage'.
+ * Fixed a bug that (sometimes) caused the window manager close box to
+ kill `xscreensaver-demo' with a crash instead of a graceful exit.
+ * Updated xscreensaver.pam to the Red Hat 7.3 way.
+ * More Gnome2-related configure crap.
+ * Updated to latest `config.guess' and `config.sub'.
+ * Fixed occasional core dump in `distort'.
+ * Added a Linux fsck failure and kernel panic to `bsod'.
+ * Added macOS kernel panic to `bsod'.
+ * Fixed a bug in `bsod' (all bsod bugs are ironic.)
+ * Fixed a bug that caused `xscreensaver-gl-helper' to print a nonsense
+ visual ID with some versions of `printf': this could cause GL
+ programs to display incorrectly (e.g., flickery.)
+
+4.05 * More `configure' tweaks to try and get things working on systems
+ that both Gtk 1.x and 2.x installed.
+ * New hack, `endgame'.
+ * Minor updates to `gltext'.
+
+4.04 * 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 windowed 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.
+
+4.03 * 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.)
+
+4.02 * 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.
+
+4.01 * New hacks: `twang', `glsnake', `boxed', `sballs', and
+ `glforestfire'.
+ * New hacks `apollonian', `euler2d', `juggle', `polyominoes' and
+ `thornbird', from xlockmore.
+ * Merged recent xlockmore changes into `ant', `braid', `demon',
+ `discrete', `drift', `fadeplot', `forest', `grav', `hopalong',
+ `ifs', `laser', `lightning', `lisa', `lissie', `loop', `mountain',
+ `penrose', `rotor', `sierpinski', `slip', `sphere', `spiral',
+ `strange', and `vines'.
+ * Fixed the `gltext' bug that sometimes caused horizontal lines to
+ vanish again. This time for sure.
+ * Sped up `webcollage' by adding a C helper program to replace the PPM
+ pipeline. It also pastes images semi-transparently now.
+ * Added support for the gdk_pixbuf library: if this lib is available,
+ then `blitspin', `xflame', and `flag' can load GIF, JPEG, and PNG
+ images in addition to XPM and XBM.
+ * Fixed a rare race condition where the desktop-grabbing hacks could
+ sometimes leave the screen wedged, if the user moved the mouse
+ exactly when they were grabbing 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.
+
+4.00 * Redesigned `xscreensaver-demo' GUI: it now includes small-preview
+ and per-hack configuration dialogs.
+ * Added three new modes of operation: `One Screen Saver', `Blank
+ Screen', and `Don't Blank' (in addition to the historical `Random
+ Screen Saver').
+ * Configure now defaults to installing the hacks in
+ <prefix>/lib/xscreensaver/ instead of <prefix>/bin/. (Most distros
+ already did it this way.)
+ * New GL hacks, `menger', `engine', `flipscreen3d'.
+ * Made `sierpinski3d' be more colorful.
+ * New versions of `xmatrix' and `nerverot'.
+ * Fixed a bug in `starwars' that made the font be drawn with thin
+ lines in -root mode.
+ * Fixed a bad colormap bug in `crystal' that could make *subsequent*
+ hacks malfunction!
+ * Made `gflux' able to grab screen images (`-mode grab').
+ * Updated `webcollage' for recent search engine changes.
+ * Removed most command-line options to `xscreensaver': just edit the
+ ~/.xscreensaver file instead.
+ * Improved behavior on multi-screen and Xinerama systems: the mouse
+ now stays on the screen where the user left it, and the password and
+ splash dialogs always appear on the screen that has the mouse.
+ * Made the splash dialog use more Gtk-like colors; made it have only
+ two buttons, "Settings" and "Help".
+ * Made `sonar' understand `.ssh/known_hosts2' format files, and be
+ better about stripping out illegal addresses.
+
+3.34 * Turned `memoryLimit' off by default, sigh. Apparently some versions
+ of the GL libraries (appear to) allocate hundreds of megs for every
+ GL program, so `memoryLimit' was causing GL programs to malfunction
+ or crash on those systems.
+ * Improved fading on TrueColor XFree86 4.1.x systems.
+ * New GL hack, `circuit'.
+ * Added `fuzz' mode to `decayscreen'.
+ * New version of `whirlygig'.
+ * Added links to `xplanet' and `sphereEversion'.
+ * Fixed rare race condition that could make `sonar' hang.
+ * Fixed potential crash in `speedmine'.
+ * Made `xscreensaver-demo' not crash when imageDirectory was set to a
+ non-existent directory.
+ * Made `xscreensaver-getimage-video' invoke XawTV's `streamer' program
+ better.
+ * Made `phosphor' and `starwars' deal with CR, LF, or CRLF line
+ endings.
+ * Changes for Cygwin compilation environments.
+ * Made `sonar' compile on systems that can't ping.
+ * Configure changes for HPUX 10.20.
+ * Made PAM code work on Red Had 4.2 systems.
+ * Made `xscreensaver-command -deactivate' work when the saver is not
+ active: what that does is reset the idle timer, as if keyboard input
+ had been detected. This was added for the benefit of people writing
+ DVD-playing software: they can now prevent the screensaver from
+ kicking in by sending a -deactivate message once a minute while the
+ movie is playing and not paused.
+ * Various minor portability tweaks.
+
+3.33 * New hacks, `speedmine' and `whirlygig'.
+ * Sped up `pyro', made the explosions look a bit better.
+ * Added better stars to `glplanet' and `starwars'.
+ * Many internal changes to `webcollage'.
+ * Some new options to `attraction'.
+ * Minor fix to `noseguy' to avoid un-erased pixels.
+ * Rewrote the screen-eraser effects so that they complete in the same
+ amount of time regardless of how slow your X server is (some of them
+ were glacial on servers with slow blitting.)
+ * Fixed a potential free memory reference that could sometimes cause a
+ crash at startup.
+ * Possibly fixed a problem that could cause the daemon to crash with
+ an X error. I was never able to reproduce this problem, but I think
+ I might have figured out what caused it.
+ * Worked around a problem that caused PAM authentication to fail on
+ some Red Hat 7.x systems.
+ * Added a `memoryLimit' parameter that controls the amount of memory a
+ graphics hack may allocate: if they try to allocate more than this,
+ malloc() will fail (and they will exit or (safely) crash, rather
+ than hogging memory.) Default is 50M.
+ * Made `gnome-help-browser' be the default way to display man pages in
+ `xscreensaver-demo', if running on a GNOME system.
+
+3.32 * The image-manipulating hacks (`slidescreen', etc.) can now operate
+ on randomly chosen image files from disk, or on frames captured from
+ the system's video input, instead of (or in addition to)
+ manipulating images of the desktop.
+ * Rewrote `vidwhacker' to use the new image-grabbing mechanism.
+ * Made fading work on TrueColor XFree86 4.x systems.
+ * Fixed a subtle rendering bug in `atlantis' (the fish were inside
+ out!)
+ * Made `atlantis' have a texture simulating light reflections from the
+ surface of the ocean.
+ * Fixed up label placement in `molecule'.
+ * Better color bars in `xteevee'.
+ * Made `install-strip' not try to strip scripts.
+
+3.31 * Put in more sensible defaults for DPMS, and updated the
+ documentation to reflect the fact that all your DPMS settings are
+ now belong to xscreensaver.
+ * Fixed the `xscreensaver.spec' file so that `--force' is no longer
+ needed.
+ * New versions of `rotzoomer' and `nerverot'.
+ * Fixed an OSF/1 compilation problem in `molecule'.
+
+3.30 * New hacks, `molecule', `dangerball', and `rotzoomer'.
+ * New version of `gflux'.
+ * Made `gltext' able to display the current time.
+ * Fixed a floating-point-precision problem in `gltext' that sometimes
+ caused horizontal lines to vanish.
+ * Removed the `-window-id' option from the hacks: it never worked
+ right, and was unnecessary.
+ * Made the `starwars' hack use thicker lines, antialias the text, and
+ fade out at the far edge instead of just dropping off.
+ * Fixed an SHM segment leak in `moire'.
+
+3.29 * Better rendering of the new logo.
+ * New hack, `gltext'.
+ * Added `-planetary' option to `gears', to draw a different kind of
+ gear system.
+ * Made motion and rotation be smoother in `gears', `glplanet',
+ `moebius', `rubik', and `sierpinski3d'.
+ * Improved coloration in `sierpinski3d'.
+ * Made the GL hacks react to window size changes.
+ * Made most of the GL hacks take a -fps option (like `pulsar' did), so
+ you can use them to benchmark your 3D hardware.
+ * Fixed the previous fix to `sonar'.
+ * Minor fix to `nerverot'. Made sonar able to ping hosts on DEC OSF1.
+ * Eliminated a bogus "didn't get enough colors" warning in some of the
+ hacks.
+
+3.28 * New logo for xscreensaver!
+ * New hacks, `starwars' and `stonerview'.
+ * Made the motion of the bouncing ball in `stairs' be a little less
+ jerky.
+ * Made newly-added screenhacks be added to .xscreensaver
+ automatically: if there are hacks in the app-defaults file that are
+ not also in ~/.xscreensaver, they will be added to the end of the
+ list.
+ * Redid the `Screensaver Options' part of the control panel;
+ xscreensaver now lets you configure your DPMS settings.
+ * Fixed some Makefile problems with non-GL builds.
+ * Fixed detection of MesaGL for version 3.3.
+ * Better workaround to Red Hat 7.0's broken gcc.
+ * Added Sparc Solaris kernel panic to `bsod'.
+
+3.27 * New hacks: `zoom' and `whirlwindwarp'.
+ * Fixed a free-memory-reference bug in `sonar'.
+ * Better error handling when there are no suitable GL visuals.
+ * Added diagnostic dialog when xscreensaver-demo is unable to launch
+ xscreensaver (e.g., when running as root.)
+ * Fixed a bug that caused screenhack argument changes to be ignored
+ when xscreensaver-demo was running as root (if "root" and "nobody"
+ have different home directories.)
+ * Made the programs default to ":0" if $DISPLAY is unset.
+ * Made the `-verbose' output include information about which server
+ extensions were supported at compile time.
+ * Worked around Red Hat 7.0's broken gcc 2.96.
+ * Updated default delays on the GL hacks to look better on machines
+ with super-fast 3D hardware.
+ * Install `screensaver-properties-capplet' to work around the usual
+ egregious GNOME lossage.
+
+3.26 * Added "enabled" checkboxes in the list of hacks in xscreensaver-demo
+ (Gtk version only.)
+ * New hacks `hyperball', `xrayswarm', and `gflux'.
+ * New versions of `nerverot', `galaxy', and `hypercube'.
+ * Small fixes to `phosphor', `shadebobs', `xflame', and `sonar'.
+ * Added external helper program `xscreensaver-gl-helper' to figure out
+ which X visual to use for OpenGL programs.
+ * Configure updates for XFree86 4.0, and for BSD.
+ * Made it be more tolerant of bogus /etc/group files.
+ * When installing the PAM config file, first try to just copy an
+ existing "xdm" or "login" config file, so that xscreensaver does
+ authentication in the same way as the rest of the system.
+
+3.25 * New hack, `nerverot'.
+ * Added BSD kernel panic to `bsod'.
+ * New version of `shadebobs'.
+ * New version of `petri'.
+ * Updated `webcollage' to handle recent Altavista URL format changes;
+ made it search the AP photo gallery.
+ * Revamped command-line options of `sonar' and made it properly handle
+ subnets.
+ * The `bubbles' hack can now trickle up or down the screen.
+ * The `xsublim' hack can now read its text from programs.
+ * Support for GLE version 3 in `extrusion'.
+ * Fixed compilation problems in `maze'.
+ * Fixed a rare crash in `flow'.
+ * Fixes for minor installation problems.
+
+3.24 * Added `-ignorant' option to `maze' hack.
+ * Updates to `critical', `bsod', `xflame', and `flow'.
+ * Added support for Kerberos 5 (via its Kerberos 4 compatibility
+ layer.)
+ * Fixed a bad leak in `xteevee'.
+ * Updated `webcollage' to handle recent Altavista URL format changes.
+ * Removed xscreensaver-demo's `Ok' and `Cancel' buttons, since they
+ were confusing people: all changes are now instantanious.
+ * Made xscreensaver-demo install itself into the Gnome Control Center.
+
+3.23 * 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'.
+
+3.22 * 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.
+
+3.21 * 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 simultaneously.
+
+3.20 * 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.
+
+3.19 * 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.
+
+3.18 * 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.
+
+3.17 * 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.
+
+3.16 * 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.
+
+3.15 * 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.
+
+3.14 * 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.
+
+3.13 * 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.
+
+
+3.12 * 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 off after a
+ few iterations.
+
+3.11 * Made `xjack' be black-on-white-ish, so that it looks less like a
+ computer screen and more like the typewritten paper it's supposed to
+ be.
+ * New version of `pulsar'.
+ * Fixed Solaris compilation problem in `phosphor'.
+ * Made xscreensaver notice XFree86's virtual root window hack, so that
+ if the X server's root window is larger than the monitor's
+ displayable resolution, the screen saver will limit itself to the
+ area that actually appears on the screen.
+ * Made the xscreensaver daemon do a better job of picking the visual
+ class that should be used for GL programs. Less user intervention
+ should be needed now: you can use the logical visual name `GL'
+ instead of having to figure out by hand which one to use.
+ * Oops, the visual was defaulting to "best" instead of
+ "default", because the .xscreensaver file was not being
+ loaded quite early enough.
+ * Made configure figure out how to build icmp ping support into the
+ `sonar' hack automatically.
+ * Made warnings about not being able to read shadow passwords not be
+ printed if compiled with PAM support.
+ * Improved PAM startup diagnostics.
+ * Worked around the Solaris PAM bug that was causing crashes there, so
+ now PAM is turned on by default.
+ * Made configure detect the number of arguments that pam_strerror()
+ takes, since on Linux, this apparently changed between 2.0 and 2.2,
+ sigh.
+ * Made the /proc/interrupts kludge look for "PS/2 Mouse" as well as
+ "keyboard".
+ * Made xscreensaver notice when there has been a sudden large jump in
+ wall-clock time, and if so, lock right away, instead of waiting for
+ "lockTimeout" to expire first. (Laptops need this for safer
+ recovery from ``hibernation.'')
+ * Added `-throttle' option to `xscreensaver-command'.
+
+3.10 * Added `phosphor', `xmatrix', and `pulsar' hacks.
+ * Fixed a bug in the color allocator that sometimes caused `starfish'
+ to fall back to monochrome.
+ * Reduced the amount of code that runs before root privileges are
+ disavowed: "normal" and "shadow" passwords now do some
+ initialization as root, but the PAM and Kerberos authorization
+ schemes will be initialized while running as "nobody". Supposedly
+ this closes a potential security hole when using Kerberos.
+ * Added some more sanity checking to configure.
+
+3.09 * Added `compass', `squiral', `xflame', `wander', `spotlight', and
+ `critical' hacks.
+ * Added some new modes to `decayscreen'.
+ * Made `deluxe' work in monochrome.
+ * Generalized usage of the Double-Buffer server extension in several
+ hacks (`compass', `deluxe', `interference', `kumppa', and `moire2'.)
+ * Fixed another visual-depth problem in `rd-bomb'.
+ * The screen saver will now defer blanking if neither the keyboard nor
+ the mouse could be grabbed. Instead, it will just try again in a
+ few minutes. This fixes a bad interaction between xscreensaver and
+ programs like VMware that hold the mouse and keyboard grabbed for a
+ long time.
+ * Added a new erase mode (expanding spiral.)
+
+3.08 * Fixed some bugs in my port of `t3d'.
+ * Added `penetrate' and `deluxe' hacks.
+ * When linking against Motif 2.x, also link against XPM.
+ * Added support for using /proc/interrupts for idle detection on
+ Linux. Now xscreensaver shouldn't kick in when the user is active
+ on a non-X virtual console.
+ * Upgraded to autoconf 2.13.
+
+3.07 * 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.
+
+3.06 * 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...
+
+3.05 * 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.)
+
+3.04 * 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.
+
+3.03 * 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.
+
+3.02 * Not everyone has sys/select.h, sigh...
+
+3.01 * 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.
+
+3.00 * 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'.
+
+2.34 * 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.
+ * Fixed a bug in the XSHM code, in the case where the server supports
+ the XSHM extension but is not the same machine as the client.
+ * Made `rd-bomb' default to taking up the whole screen.
+ * Made it not try to do fading/unfading if no PseudoColor visuals
+ exist.
+ * Initial attempt at supporting VT-locking (doesn't work yet.)
+ * Eliminated the `captureStdout' resource; now `captureStderr'
+ controls both streams.
+ * Added `-capture-stderr' and `-no-capture-stderr' command-line
+ arguments.
+ * Added `glplanet' hack.
+ * When a hack is selected with `xscreensaver-command -select', that
+ hack will be used until further notice (until the saver turns off,
+ or another activation command is issued.)
+
+2.33 * Made `xscreensaver-command' print error messages: the xscreensaver
+ daemon now responds to ClientMessage events by writing a response
+ message on a window property, instead of just writing to its stderr.
+ * Made the ~/.xscreensaver file be automatically reloaded when the
+ file date changes.
+ * The password dialog and splash screen no longer depend on Motif or
+ Athena. This should clear up a number of focus problems, and is the
+ first step on the path toward moving all of the
+ Motif/Athena/whatever code out of the xscreensaver daemon, and into
+ external processes.
+ * Don't complain about LessTif 0.86 any more, since the new password
+ dialog makes that problem go away.
+ * Configure tweaks for Irix 6.5, SunOS 5.something.
+ * New `-reflect' option to `distort'.
+
+2.32 * Added reading and writing of a ~/.xscreensaver file, so that the
+ Preferences panel can save its settings.
+ * New version of `rubik'.
+ * Added `-select N' argument to `xscreensaver-command'.
+ * Oops, left out some of the `bubbles3d' files...
+
+2.31 * The cursor was invisible in the password dialog. Fixed.
+ * Made configure warn against MesaGL 2.6.
+ * Fixed X error at startup when using non-default visual.
+ * New version of `crystal', `ant', and `atlantis' from xlockmore.
+ * New hack, `bubble3d'.
+ * Added some new modes to `bsod'.
+
+2.30 * Changed the order in which -lSM and -lICE are linked to be after
+ Motif instead of before (Lesstif on Irix needs this.)
+
+2.29 * Work around a bash bug in configure.
+ * Tweaked HPUX paths again. FTSOHPUX.
+ * Made configure recommend against LessTif 0.86, due to a bug in that
+ version that causes a security hole in the screen locking code.
+ LessTif 0.87 will fix it.
+ * Made all of the `--with' options to `configure' accept a directory
+ option as well (so that --with-motif=/FOO will add -I/FOO/include
+ -L/FOO/lib). I believe this is the Configure Party Line of how do
+ to such things.
+ * Fixed a bug where the mouse was left un-grabbed after the first time
+ the graphics hack was changed (simplified all of the mouse-grabbing
+ logic.)
+ * Maybe possibly perhaps made `vidwhacker' really not leave stray xv
+ windows around. This time for sure.
+ * Added a new erase mode (random dots fizzling out.)
+ * Added `-prefs' argument to `xscreensaver-command', that brings up
+ the Preferences dialog directly (it seems that nobody ever noticed
+ the `Preferences' button on the Demo Mode dialog, maybe this will
+ help.)
+ * Added a splash screen. Turn it off with *splash:false.
+
+2.28 * Better macsbug text in `bsod'.
+ * New version of `distort' with many new modes.
+ * Plugged a leak in `coral'.
+ * Tweaked configure for HPUX.
+ * Removed some compiler warnings.
+ * More consistent usage of stderr versus stdout.
+ * More diagnostics should an X error occur.
+ * Fixed a possible crash in SGI-specific unfading code.
+
+2.27 * Improved version of `distort'.
+ * Made `lament' compile against OpenGL 1.0 (though it still requires
+ 1.1 to work properly.)
+ * Updated my email address and home page.
+
+2.25 * Improved motion in `rd-bomb'.
+ * Added XSHM (shared memory extension) support to the `distort',
+ `interference', `moire', `rd-bomb', and `swirl' hacks, which speeds
+ them up a bit.
+ * Added `lament' hack.
+
+2.24 * Tweaked the order of the -L options again.
+ * Cleaned up configure's `--help' message.
+ * Added `kumppa' hack.
+ * Smarter maze-solving algorithm in `maze'.
+ * Took `xlyap' out of the default list of hacks, since it's just
+ incredibly buggy (and slow.) Maybe someday someone will fix it...
+ * Added `distort' hack, but didn't add it to the default list (yet)
+ because it's still too slow.
+ * Made the Athena demo dialog look more like the Motif version; it has
+ a text-entry field now, too.
+ * Made the Athena password dialog echo asterisks, like Motif does,
+ instead of using a flyspeck font.
+ * Some random configure tweaks.
+ * Added a `timestamp' resource that makes the `-verbose' messages
+ include the time at which they were printed.
+
+2.23 * The fix for SGI's ``scheme'' nonsense broke things, and let the
+ user's "*background" resource show through. Fixed it in a different
+ way.
+
+2.22 * Added support for the DPMS server extension (Display Power
+ Management System.)
+ * Made configure advertize the `--enable-subdir' option a little more,
+ since that seemed to cause some people stress. Also, made that
+ directory be built into the xscreensaver executable, as a hardcoded
+ prefix to $PATH. (Might help, shouldn't hurt.)
+ * Made configure prefer the two-arg gettimeofday to the one-arg
+ version, since AIX doesn't have any prototypes.
+ * Made it work with Xaw3d (the 3D Athena library.)
+ * Made `make install' create directories as necessary.
+ * New version of lmorph from Sverre.
+ * Added `crystal' and `discreet' hacks from xlockmore.
+ * Added a new mode to `bsod'.
+
+2.21 * Made `xscreensaver-command -time' use different words. (It now
+ describes the two states as "screen blanked since..." and "screen
+ non-blanked since..." instead of "active since..." and "inactive
+ since..." which a lot of people interpreted as meaning the opposite
+ of what was intended.)
+ * Improved some error messages, in the hopes of making the distinction
+ between the xscreensaver and xscreensaver-command programs more
+ obvious.
+ * Rewrote (and reorganized) parts of the xscreensaver and
+ xscreensaver-command manual pages.
+ * Renamed xscreensaver's `-lock' command-line option to be
+ `-lock-mode', to avoid confusion with the `-lock' option to
+ xscreensaver-command, which does a totally different thing.
+ * Removed xscreensaver's `-demo' command-line option for a similar
+ reason; use `xscreensaver-command -demo' instead.
+ * Disabled SGI's ``scheme'' nonsense in a better way than
+ fully-qualifying the background colors in every single hack.
+ * Fixed some other minor cosmetic problems when *sgiMode is turned on.
+ * Fixed an X error in `bsod -root' (how ironic...)
+
+2.20 * Fixed a bug that caused the mouse to sometimes not be grabbed
+ properly (meaning the window manager menu could pop up over the
+ demo-mode display.)
+ * Fixed a bug that made the stderr output sometimes get printed twice.
+ * Fixed a bug that made the demo-mode scrollbar move too fast.
+ * Protected against a possible buffer overflow.
+ * Made `vidwhacker' not leave stray xv windows around.
+ * New version of `ant' so that Bagley doesn't calve.
+ * Make configure on AIX get XShm from the right library.
+
+2.19 * One file was missing from the tar file.
+
+2.18 * Oops, atlantis wasn't being built by default.
+ * Added `epicycle' hack.
+ * Added `interference' hack.
+ * Added `truchet' hack.
+ * Added `bsod' hack.
+ * Added some new modes to `vidwhacker'.
+
+2.17 * Added a -window-id argument to most hacks, so that they can draw on
+ arbitrary externally-provided windows.
+ * Synched with xlockmore 4.11a01.
+ * Added `flow' hack.
+ * Added `atlantis' GL hack.
+ * Renamed `puzzle' hack to `jigsaw', since xlock already had a
+ different mode called `puzzle'.
+ * Made it self-configure properly when Motif 2.1.0 is being used
+ (requires -lXp now, sigh...)
+
+2.16 * Made `flag' able to do XPM images.
+ * New look for the xscreensaver logo (`xroger').
+ * Fixed compilation error on Suns with adjunct passwords.
+ * Got multi-architecture builds working again.
+ * Some configure tweaks for building on HPUX and Solaris.
+ * Fixed bug in decayscreen.
+ * Fixed typo in passwd.c.
+ * Made `cynosure' not die when colormap is full.
+
+2.15 * Added `cynosure' hack.
+ * Added `moire2' hack.
+ * Tweaked `erase.c' some more.
+ * Made unfading a bit smoother.
+ * Added `vidwhacker' hack (not installed by default.)
+ * Added `stairs' hack.
+ * Split `escher' into `cage' and `moebius', as per xlockmore.
+ * Changed subprocess handling to use sigaction() instead of signal()
+ if it's available (this is necessary for SCO but should work fine on
+ other systems too.)
+ * Various other tweaks.
+
+2.14 * Better fix for the Motif drag-and-die lossage.
+ * Put in some kludges to work around a LessTif bug.
+ * XScreenSaver is known to work with LessTif 0.82 now.
+ * Made fading work on high-end SGI video hardware.
+ * Fixed another SGI-specific bug in screen grabbing; will the madness
+ never cease?
+ * Fixed another crash in `xlyap'.
+
+2.13 * Made `decayscreen' do directions other than down.
+ * Improved `puzzle'.
+ * Fixed a crash in `xlyap'.
+ * Added CDE info to the man page, removed `cde.txt'.
+ * Configure tweaks for Zippy.
+ * Turned off the signal handling in `bubbles' because it was sometimes
+ failing to die.
+ * Added `hacks/xscreensaver-sgigl.c' to make it possible to run SGI's
+ ElectroPaint hack (/usr/demos/bin/ep) with xscreensaver. Finally!
+ * Fixed a buffer overrun in the locking code that some wily, malicious
+ cracker must have slipped in.
+ * Disabled Motif drag-and-drool in the dialog box buttons, since it's
+ broken in some old versions of Motif.
+
+2.12 * Added `README.debugging'.
+ * Added `puzzle' hack.
+ * Added `xlyap' hack.
+ * Added `default-n' as a visual name, so that one can have -install on
+ by default, but turn it off for certain poorly-behaved hacks (like
+ xv.)
+ * Added support for grabbing frames of external video (on SGI) to the
+ screen-grabbing hacks (decayscreen, slidescreen, slip, blitspin, and
+ puzzle.)
+ * Improved look of tiles in `slidescreen'; fixed its color allocation
+ problem.
+
+2.11 * Tweaked `blitspin', added it to the default list.
+ * Added `lissie', `mountain', `triangle', `worm', `rotor', and `ant'
+ from xlockmore.
+ * Updated `sierpinski', `galaxy', and `lisa'.
+ * Thickened the lines in `braid' and `lmorph'.
+ * Updated VMS makefiles.
+ * Renamed `fract' to `vines'.
+ * Added `xjack' hack.
+ * Made a few more hacks use erase.c, and added a few more wipe styles.
+ * Fixed compilation problem with Sun's version of OpenGL.
+ * Added ability to use sigaction() instead of signal()
+ to work around a SCO kernel bug.
+
+2.10 * Fixed colormap bugs in `rd-bomb'; sped up `coral'.
+ * Configure tweaks for *BSD.
+
+2.08 * New hacks `rd-bomb' and `coral'.
+ * New version of `maze' with some new algorithms.
+ * New colorized version of `rocks'.
+ * Fixed a bug in qix on 64-bit machines.
+ * Fixed a bug in the -time option.
+ * Fixed a bug in configure related to LessTif.
+
+2.07 * Minor header tweaks in windows.c and flag.c.
+ * Made multi-architecture ($VPATH) builds work properly.
+ * Merged new GL stuff from xlockmore (rubik, morph3d.)
+ * Fixed intermittent crashes in `imsmap' and `munch'.
+ * Added `fadeplot' hack from xlockmore.
+
+2.06 * Merged in VMS support from Patrick Moreau.
+
+2.05 * Fixed a MIT-SCREEN-SAVER-related crash, and tweaked
+ configure to detect the extra-random -Xss library.
+
+2.04 * HP configure tweaks. Detect and warn about LessTif.
+ * Fixed low-color behavior of `goop', `pyro', `starfish',
+ `greynetic', `flame', `halo', and `moire'.
+
+2.03 * Fixed flicker in `pipes'. Fixed 3d in `bouboule'.
+ * Added `munch' hack.
+ * Added basic dependencies to the Makefile.in files.
+
+2.02 * Fixes for compiling with the MIT saver extension.
+ * Made the yow/fortune program be a configure option.
+ * Various configure tweaks.
+
+2.01 * Added `goop' and `starfish' hacks.
+ * Added colomap cycling to `halo'.
+ * Made `attraction' use the new colormap allocator.
+ * Added better $PATH diagnostics.
+ * There was a bug in frand! Color selection should be much improved
+ now.
+
+2.00 * Converted to use `configure' instead of `imake'.
+ * ANSI C is now required.
+ * Added Kerberos locking support, from Nat Lanza.
+ * Made the stderr text use overlay planes, if possible.
+ * Reworked the xlockmore compatibility stuff again.
+ * Added `gears', `superquadrics', `escher', `pipes', and `sproingies'
+ hacks (depend on OpenGL.)
+
+1.34 * Fixed some bugs, made fading be a little smoother.
+
+1.33 * Made it work with multi-headed displays.
+ * Generalized sub-process management (Unix sucks!)
+ * Added interactive mouse frobbing to Julia.
+ * Added (untested) support for HPUX shadow passwords.
+ * Made normal non-shadow passwords be checked if the shadow passwords
+ aren't accessible for some reason.
+
+1.32 * Removed *colorPrograms and *monoPrograms resources: made it possible
+ to specify the desired visual on a per-hack basis.
+ * Cleaned up / restructured the driver: no more globals.
+ * Made the Motif and Athena dialogs share more code.
+ * Probably fixed some Athena colormap-installation bugs.
+ * Fixed screen grabbing (cmap) on SGI 12-bit PseudoColor.
+ * Fixed divide-by-zero in bright random colormaps.
+ * Added an improved version of xlock's `flag' hack.
+ * Made unfading work better, and not flicker on SGIs.
+ * Added `sphere', `forest', `lisa' hacks from xlockmore.
+ * Added (untested) support for SunOS Adjunct passwords.
+
+1.31 * Improved colors and colormap cycling of many hacks.
+ * Cleaned up xlockmore compatibility layer.
+ * Made `blitspin' able to grab an image off the screen.
+ * Ported `swirl' and `bouboule' hacks from xlockmore.
+ * Made the driver more careful about not leaving bits on the screen,
+ or allowing other windows to raise themselves: it now re-blanks the
+ screen every so often.
+ * Added `-time' option to `xscreensaver-command'.
+ * Improved SGI screen-grabbing some more: now it can grab TrueColor
+ screens into PseudoColor windows and have the colors still come out
+ semi-reasonably.
+
+1.30 * Made `slidescreen' and `decayscreen' work better on SGIs when
+ windows of different visuals are present, by using the
+ XReadDisplay() extension to get a true 24-bit image out of the frame
+ buffer.
+ * Made `noseguy' be in color, if compiled with XPM.
+ * Ported `braid', `drift', `fract', `galaxy', `grav', `ifs', `julia',
+ `laser', `lightning', `penrose', `sierpinski', `slip', `spiral', and
+ `strange' hacks from xlockmore.
+ * Merged `hopalong' hack with a more recent version.
+ * Added `cde.txt'.
+
+1.28 * Added `deco', `moire', and `kaleidescope' hacks.
+ * Merged in support for non-Motif locking and demo mode.
+ * Made `blitspin' and `bubbles' work in TrueColor.
+ * Fixed a stupid bug I introduced in `imsmap'.
+ * Added `poly' and `gravity' options to `qix'.
+
+1.27 * Added support for SGI SCREEN_SAVER extension.
+ * Made `fade' and `unfade' work on 8-bit SGIs.
+ * Made the dialog boxes more Motify.
+ * Added `bubbles' hack.
+
+1.26 * Added `lmorph' hack.
+ * Added viscosity and mouse-control to attraction.
+ * Fixed possible bad color choices in qix and attraction.
+ * Added ramp-mode to halo.
+ * Added a new RNG, which is faster and more portable than using the
+ RNG in libc.
+ * Made locking work on SCO.
+ * Various other minor tweaks that I don't remember.
+
+1.25 * Made it capture the stdout/stderr of its subprocesses and present
+ them on the screensaver window itself.
+ * Made demo mode work correctly with non-default visuals and color
+ maps, instead of always using the defaults.
+ * Added -visual argument to all included screenhacks.
+ * Support for the R6 MIT-SCREEN-SAVER server extension.
+ * Made the demo mode list scroll properly.
+ * Added `pedal' hack.
+
+1.24 * Fixed some private-colormap oddities in slidescreen, decayscreen,
+ and xroger. Fixed apparent conservation- of-mass problem in pyro;
+ made the shrapnel round.
+
+1.23 * Minor tweaks for IRIX5; fixed locking race condition.
+
+1.22 * Minor tweaks for X11R6.
+ * Fixes for non-default visuals.
+
+1.21 * Fixed bug in color blitspin; added default image.
+ * Added diagnostics to noseguy. Fixed off-by-one error in flame.
+ * Added some missing casts.
+
+1.19 * Added `flame' hack.
+ * Fixed a minor Motif dialog text field bug.
+ * Fixed yet another XPointer-not-defined-in-R4 bug.
+
+1.18 * Added support for shadow password files.
+ * Fixed some Motif-related locking bugs.
+ * Added diagnostics when locking is disabled.
+ * Made blitspin able to use the XPM library.
+ * Added `decayscreen' hack.
+
+1.17 * Added `halo' hack.
+
+1.16 * Portability fixes.
+
+1.15 * Broke the driver up into more source files.
+ * Moved the hacks into their own directory.
+ * Made all `time' parameters accept the 00:00:00 syntax, so that even
+ the parameters which are normally read as minutes can be specified
+ in seconds.
+ * Added colormap cycling to `imsmap'.
+ * Made hyper work with K&R compilers.
+
+1.14 * Added `orbit' option to `attraction' hack.
+ * Added `lock-timeout' option.
+ * Cleaned up options of `maze' hack.
+
+1.09 * Added demo mode, and locking.
+ * Added `maze' hack.
+ * Added `norotate' option to `rocks' hack.
+
+1.05 * Works when run from XDM before anyone logs in.
+ * Sped up `imsmap'.
+ * Can use `xv' as a slideshow without using up colormap entries while
+ the screen is not blanked.
+ * Fixed a BadDrawable error in non-XIdle mode.
+ * Added `blitspin' and `imsmap'.
+
+1.01 * Current list of included hacks is now: qix, helix, rorschach,
+ attraction, greynetic, rocks, pyro, hopalong, and noseguy.
