Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Doodle Screen Saver 1.7.5

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Mark Dodel <feedbackDESPAM at DESPAMos2voice.org>

This is a new Screen Saver for OS/2 and eCS. It's integrated into WPS, 
replaces the old Lockup Desktop facility, and can cooperate with third 
party applications.

Changelog.txt:
* v1.7.5 : 2007.03.08.
   - Modified DPMS handling, so that it can be told *NOT* to use SNAP,
     but use direct VGA register access. This might be a bit risky, and
     only supports ON and OFF modes, but this is the only working method
     when SNAP has problems with the monitor. A REXX tool has been
     included to turn on/off this feature.
   - Added new module: SlideShow (Thanks to Warp5!)
   - Updated ShowInage and SlideShow modules to v1.7.1.
     They now use the GBM library to decode images, not the MMPM IOProcs.
   - Modified Cairo modules so they now link to Cairo v1.2.4
     This should resolve FontConfig problems.
   - Compiler upgraded to OpenWatcom v1.6.

It can be downloaded from hobbes.
