Changes since 4.20: * 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.
Changes since 4.19: * New hacks, `fiberlamp', `boing', `boxfit', and
`carousel'.
* Rewrote `glslideshow' again: should be faster now.
* Sped up loading of images in GL programs.
* `starwars' uses texture-mapped fonts now.
* New `bsod' modes: tru64, hppa, and nvidia.
* Updates to `webcollage', `juggle', `pinion',
`fireworkx', `sonar', `extrusion', `substrate', and
`pong'.
Changes since 4.18: * 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.
* Made analogtv-based hacks work properly on PPC/ARM.
* Fixed a bad memory leak in `piecewise'.
* Minor updates to `sonar', `molecule', `glmatrix',
`galaxy', and `webcollage'.
* Removed support for GTK 1.x (everyone uses 2.x now.)

xscreensaver-demo program (which requires GTK). This is done to allow
xscreensaver coexist with xscreensaver-gnome, and to avoid a dependancy
on GTK when installing kdeartwork3.
Changes since 4.13:
* 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 X.
* Various minor fixes.
Ok'ed by wiz@.

- The demo now needs --crapplet to run properly in the control-center
(undoubtedly, short for "control-center applet"). ;-)
- There's no need to haphazardly install the gnome2 applet into the gnome1
directories, as the package gnome2 control-center will presumably use
the directories designated for it.

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.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
Changes since 4.09: * 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.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
Changes since 4.07: * New hacks, `atunnels' and `piecewise'.
* Physics improvement in `fluidballs'.
* Various fixes for XDarwin systems (X11 on MacOS X.)
* Added -clock option to `barcode'.
* Minor fixes to `endgame', `flurry', `flipscreen3d',
and `gflux'.
|
|
* 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'.

Changes since 4.05: * 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 X 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.)
Changes since 4.04: * 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'.
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 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.
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.)
|
|
* 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', `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. [not enabled in pkg]
* 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.
|
|
* 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.

couple of new "hacks". The following is straight from the README file.
Changes since 3.33: * 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 `glplanet' 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.
