XScreenSaver 5.05 (Default branch)

XScreenSaver is the standard screen savercollection shipped on most Linux and Unix systemsrunning the X11 Window System. These screen saversalso work on Mac OS (X11 is not required). Morethan 200 screen savers are included. License: MIT/X Consortium LicenseChanges:
New hacks include "cubicgrid", "hypnowheel", and"lcdscrub". Updates were made to "m6502", "gears","cubestorm", and "noof". An attempt was made towork around the latest Xinerama bugs. A Mac OS10.5 perl bug that caused the text-displayinghacks to fail on some systems was worked around.Font-related System Preferences crashes in Mac OSsavers were hopefully fixed. The recent PAMchanges broke the "Caps Lock" warning in thepassword dialog, the failed login warnings, andsyslogging, so all of that was fixed.Image
