See the distributed ChangeLog for details, there are a lot of new
features.
Introduce:
- i18n flavor for the experimental multibyte character support,
- Gtk dependency by default so that the gtk modules build,
- Explicitly disable rplay support unless the flavor has been specified.
---
The Gtk module allows Perl access to the Gtk+ graphical user interface
library. The Perl binding tries to follow the C interface as much
as possible, providing at the same time a fully object oriented
interface and Perl-style calling conventions.
Fvwm is a window manager for X, which provides a virtual/multiple
disjoint desktop, a 3D look for windows decorations, shaped/color
icons. It gives a very good emulation of mwm. A nice button-bar
can be used to provide convenient access to frequently used
functions of programs.
Flavors:
rplay - build with audio/rplay and provide sound support
debug - turn on debugging messages

Will co-exist with the fvwm in XF4, with the idea of being on the
bleeding edge, with more extras built in and flavors for choice.
Per discussion with todd@
been idle for a period, and then runs a graphics demo chosen at
random. It turns off as soon as there is any mouse or keyboard
activity. It can also lock the screen (immediately, after a longer
idle period, or on demand.) xscreensaver consists of two parts:
xscreensaver itself, the (the ``driver'' or ``daemon''), which
detects idleness and does locking; and the many graphics demos that
are launched by xscreensaver.
Any X program that can draw on the root window can be used with
xscreensaver, regardless of how that program is written, or what
language it is written in, or what libraries it uses. The xscreensaver
daemon takes care of detecting when the user is idle, locking, and
checking passwords and all the other book-keeping; all the other
programs need to do is draw.
The benefit that xscreensaver has over the combination of the xlock
and xautolock programs is the ease with which new graphics hacks
can be installed. You don't need to recompile (or even re-run) the
xscreensaver program to add a new display mode, you just change a
config file.

* Added option TZONE for time zone time with automatic compensation

* Added a monochrome bitmap. Activate it with the -m command line
option.
