     1. e-Paint 7 Revision 3
     _______________________________________________________________________


     e-Paint 7 has been updated. This release:


     - Fixes several perfidious bugs in the Text tool, including a 
       particularly sneaky one that could confuse the text alignment at
       zoom levels of less than 100 percent, under some builds of Windows.


     - Updates the rendering engine to improve its performance.


     - Addresses several issues with the Matrix fill generator.

 
     - Updates the Filter interface logic.


     - Improves the Photography Workshop user interface.


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


     - Updates the documentation.



     We'd like to urge all the users of e-Paint 7 to download and install 
     this update... doubly so if you're running Windows 10.


     You can download e-Paint 7 from:

         http://www.mindworkshop.com/paint.html#download

     2. PNG MNG Construction Set 7 Revision 4 (Second Notification) 
     _______________________________________________________________________


     PNG MNG Construction Set 7 has been updated. This release:


     - Updates the texture library in the Banners window to use the standard
       Alchemy Mindworks textures - these turn up in several of the animation
       plugins, and in a number of other applications, such as e-Paint.


     - Improves a number of metrics issues in the Banner function.


     - Refines several aspects of the Adjust window.


     - Addresses a number of timing issues in the View window.


     - Fixes a problem in the Animation Wizard that could cause the source 
       image thumbnails to vanish due to some inconsistencies in the graphics
       drivers for a number of display adapters. We doubt we've nailed all of 
       them, but some of the more insidious one are toast.


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


     - Updates the documentation.

     3. Graphic Workshop Professional 7 Revision 4 (Additional Notification) 
     _______________________________________________________________________



     Graphic Workshop Professional 7 has been updated. This release:


     - Adds a Paint function to the View mode window - edit your pictures
       directly from View, without saving them to disk. Select Paint from 
       the Picture menu, or hold down the Shift key and click on the 
       paintbrush button.


     - Improves the Adjust window, adds a Reset button and fixes a few... 
       ahem... "bugs" has such a negative connotation. Perhaps they're just
       "alternate program features."
       

     - Changes the color quantization logic, this being the mind-numbingly
       complex process by which optimum palettes are derived for reducing
       true-color graphics to paletted images... this being GIF files, for 
       the most part. This has resulted in a noticeable speed improvement
       in some of the Effects features.


     - Speeds up a number of features of the View window.


     - Updates several View mode filters.


     - Updates several of the drawing tools in e-Paint UltraLight.

     
     - Addresses several minor issues in GWS Camera.


     - 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.



     We'd like to urge all the users of Graphic Workshop Professional 7 to
     download and install this update... doubly so if you're running 
     Windows 10.
