With some spare time on my hands, I’ve turned my attention to updating my Mac screen saver Ephemeral. This release is a huge update from the old version. The main changes are:

• Greatly improved appearance: the images now fade out with a gentle blur effect. Note that if your GPU doesn’t allow Ephemeral to access the graphics system, it falls back to simpler drawing with the CPU.
• Ephemeral now draws on all screens, instead of just the primary screen. This can be changed in the screen saver options.
• Fully rewritten rendering engine for greater efficiency.
• Now requires Mac 10.8 or later. If you’re running 10.6 or 10.7 then the old 1.1.2 release is still available.

As this version of Ephemeral is a major rewrite, any feedback about how it performs for you would be great.

I’ve got more ideas for improvements, so stay tuned!
