+ caused the screen saver process to become enormous.
+ * Fixed flicker in `pipes', `cubestorm', and `noof'.
+ * Fixed EXIF rotation on MacOS 10.6.
+ * Fixed desktop-grabbing when screen locked on MacOS.
+ * Minor fixes to `circuit', `polyhedra', `tangram',
+ `gears', `pinion', `substrate', `xanalogtv'.

+ * Better seeding of the RNG.
+Changes since 5.09: * Fixed some crashes and color problems on MacOS 10.6.
+ * Retired `hypercube' and `hyperball', which are
+ redundant with `polytopes'.
+Changes since 5.08: * Ported to MacOS 10.6, including various 64-bit fixes.
+ * New hack, `rubikblocks'.
+ * Fixed another potential RANDR crash.
+ * Use correct proxy server on MacOS.
+ * `molecule' now correctly displays PDB 3.2 files.
+ * Updates to `mirrorblob', `glhanoi', and `sonar'.

+ * Savers that load images now obey EXIF rotation tags.
+ * Arrgh, more RANDR noise! Fixes this time for rotated

+ cancelled, don't pop it right back up a second time.
+ * Password timeouts/cancels don't count as
+ "failed logins".
+ * Retired some of the older, less interesting savers:

+ now work to add/remove monitors or resize screens at
+ any time.
+ * New hack, `skytentacles'.
+ * New version of `gleidescope'.
+ * Added the `-log' option to the xscreensaver daemon,
+ since a truly shocking number of Linux users seem to

+ so that they pick a new image every few minutes.
+ * Added an ATM crash to BSOD.
Changes since 5.04: * New hacks, `cubicgrid', `hypnowheel', and
`lcdscrub' (which isn't really a screen saver).
