     1. Animation Workshop 7 Revision 2 
     _______________________________________________________________________



     Animation Workshop 7 has been updated. This release:


     - Addresses a number of issues that crept into the first release of 
       Animation Workshop 7... as software is wont to do.

  
     - Modifies the registration logic to work around Windows 10's recent 
       updates, which have been randomly de-registering software when they
       sneak silently onto your computer. The sudden appearance of the "this
       key is already registered" message should be a distant memory.


     - Updates UpToDate.


     - Improves the rendering engine.


     - Updates the graphic import logic.


     - Addresses a number of user interface issues.


     - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software 
       developers never really stop meddling with.      

     - Updates the documentation.

     2. Announcing Pagan Daybook 7 (Second Notification)
     _______________________________________________________________________



     Pagan Daybook 7 has been released.

     We've refined the internal architecture of Pagan Daybook to make it 
     faster, more memory-efficient and better able to take advantage of the 
     functionality of Windows 7, 8 and 10.

     While most of the seriously cool changes embodied in Pagan Daybook 7 
     are "under the hood," users of the latest release will notice that it's 
     noticeably quicker, especially for functions that call for significant 
     system resources, such as creating complex background effects.
     
     The updated architecture will also allow us to add new features to 
     Pagan Daybook that were impractical or genuinely impossible under 
     version 6.


     - Fixes a bug that could crash the screen saver under some builds of 
       Windows.


     - Adds optional drop shadows to the text elements defined by Pagan 
       Daybook's themes, both because the look cool and to make the text 
       easier to read.


     - Improves the Calendar window.


     - Improves the observance database logic and structure to make it 
       quicker to access.


     - Modifies the registration logic to work around Windows 10's recent 
       updates, which have been randomly de-registering software when they
       sneak silently onto your computer. The sudden appearance of the "this
       key is already registered" message should be a distant memory.


     - Updates lots of user-interface issues throughout the application.

    
     - Pagan Daybook 7 uses an altered installation structure that's way 
       more resistant to being broken by malfunctioning and overly-paranoid 
       third-party security software. We're reasonably certain that the 
       "Can't create specified file" error is history.


     - Updates UpToDate.


     - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software 
       developers never really stop meddling with.      


     - Updates the documentation.
