It is still somewhat relevant today even though all the major desktop environments (Cinnamon, GNOME, KDE Plasma, MATE and Xfce) come with their own screensaver programs since MATE and Xfce use screensavers from XScreenSaver. XScreenSaver was the standard screensaver on GNU/Linux machines for two decades since its release in 1992.
X11: Always use $HOME/.xscreensaver, not getpwuid's directory. Performance tweaks for eruption, fireworkx, halftone, halo, moire2, rd-bomb. iOS: Fixed rotation on iOS 13 (Apple incompatibly breaks rotation every two years as a matter of policy). 
macOS: Fixed “Use random screen saver” on macOS 10.15. New color options in romanboy, projectiveplane, hypertorus and klein. New hacks, gibson, etruscanvenus and scooter. The complete changelog since XScreenSaver 5.43 was released in June 2019 is as follows: There's also performance improvements to the screensaver eruption, fireworkx, halftone, hlo, moire2 and rc-bomb. The new screensavers add to an already very long list with 200+ different screensavers. XSreenSaver 5.44 has three new "hacks": "gibson", "etruscanvenus" and "scooter". XScreenSaver calls the various animations it can show on the screen while the screensaver is active "Hacks".

There are also new color options for four screensavers and "various bug fixes" in this release. 
Jamie Zawinski, who created XScreenSaver in 1992 and still maintains it, has released a new minor version with three new screen savers and performance tweaks for six of the existing screensavers.
