Description CBke -Left- bye 2006-06-01 16:09:38 UTC
accord/bumping to http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/changelog.html v5.0 is released

<Changelog>
    *  Ported to MacOS X! (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.
    * New hacks, topblock and glschool.
    * Removed xteevee (superceded by xanalogtv).
    * Added variable-sized puzzle pieces to jigsaw.
    * Changes to the defaults and command-line options of many hacks to make the .xml files more consistent.
    * Reap zombies in glslideshow and carousel.
    * sonar works without setuid on OSX (dgram icmp).
    * xmatrix -mode pipe displays the text of a subprocess.
    * endgame has higher resolution chess-piece models.
    * webcollage takes a -directory option to get images from a local directory.
    * The RPM spec file no longer auto-restarts xscreensaver when a new version is installed. Restart it manually.

kdeartwork doesn't have any problems interacting with new version, Psi seems to work ok too. Third party screen savers will need to be ported by upstream. Anyway: bumped :)
