( http://mindworkshop.com/mailman/options/newsletter ) Contents: 1. ?The *Ultimate Screen Clock* 8 Revision 3 2. *Graphic Workshop****Professional* 8 Revision 5 (second notification) 3. *Legacy* now in Paperback from Amazon 4. ?New Message Format (second notification) 5. ?Replying to this Message and List Removal * Now available in paperback! ** (Click on the book - don't plan on getting any sleep for a while...) * The Ultimate Screen Clock 8 Revision 3 The Ultimate Screen Clock 8 has been updated. This release: * Adds animated digital transition versions of the Timetable and Reflection clock styles. These things are seriously cool to watch. Note that the transition versions of these styles all appear in the extra style installer for The Ultimate Screen Clock. You'll need to download that honking big file again to access them - we're abjectly sorry. * Fixes a bug in the Days Until and Days Since windows that could cause them to select the wrong year for new items in some circumstances. * Adds Recent Styles lists to the Styles sub-menu to allow the current clock style, screen saver style and timer style of The Ultimate Screen Clock to be changed to a previously-used style without opening the Select Styles window. * Improves the Mariner clock style, addressing a number of cosmetic issues and fine-tuning its color schemes. We hasten to add that you can enable different sizes and color palettes for Mariner if you right-click on it in the Select Styles window and select Configure from the menu that appears. * Refines several performance issues in the clock rendering engine. One day it shall be flawless, but then the universe will end... * Fixes a bug in the recent styles list for the Select Styles window that could cause styles selected multiple times to be added to the list multiple times. * Fixes a naming error in the Flip clock styles. Note that if you have selected one of the animated Flip styles as your current clock style prior to installing this update, you may see an error message when the new version of the clock starts for the first time. Should this occur, right-click in The Ultimate Screen Clock and use the Styles ? Select Clock Style window to re-select the appropriate Flip Digital Transition style. (The aforementioned Recent Clock Styles item should also cut it.) * Adds assistance buttons to the initial registration key windows. Click on the question marks if you discover yourself to be lost. * Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. * Updates the documentation. Upgrades If you have previously registered or upgraded to The Ultimate Screen Clock 7, you can upgrade to The Ultimate Screen Clock 8 for half the cost of a new single-user license. Click on the huge blue button below. Graphic Workshop Professional 8 Revision 5 (second notification) Graphic Workshop Professional 8 has been updated. This release: * Addresses two vulnerabilities in the library underlying Graphic Workshop's ZIP archive functionality, CVE-2017-12858 and CVE-2017-14107, that could allow a maliciously-crafted archive to crash Graphic Workshop or its ancillary applications, or to possibly to execute arbitrary code. This affects a number of aspects of Graphic Workshop itself - which uses ZIP files in various contexts - and the Archive Manager application that comes bundled with it. This one's potentially very serious, and we urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to this release immediately. * Updates the Channels filter in the View mode Filters window. * Fixes a memory leak in the e-Paint UltraLight Convert To logic. * Addresses a bug that could cause e-Paint UltraLight's document windows to flash when they were resized under some builds of Windows. * Fixes a Windows issue that could cause e-Paint UltraLight's document windows to appear disabled when some of the drawing tools were selected. * Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. * Updates the documentation. Upgrades If you have previously registered or upgraded to Graphic Workshop Professional 7, you can upgrade to Graphic Workshop Professional 8 for half the cost of a new single-user license. * NOTE:* If you're currently running Graphic Workshop Professional 6 or Graphic Workshop Professional 7, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to the current release to address the ZIP archive vulnerability described above. Users of Graphic Workshop Professional 7 can upgrade to version 8 for half price. While the half-price upgrade path from the version 6 software has expired, our upgrade e-commerce page will accept half-price upgrades from users of Graphic Workshop Professional 6 for the next two weeks. If you see a message therein to the effect that upgrades are only available for version 7 and 8, you can safely ignore it. Click on the huge blue button below. Legacy Is Now In Print!!! Steven William Rimmer's legendary occult thriller Legacy is now available in paperback, through the thaumaturgy of Amazon's print-on-demand books. The Amazon print edition is unabridged and undoes all manner of iniquities wrought upon the earlier small-press versions of Legacy. It also has a really cool cover that the thumbnail graphic here doesn't begin to do justice to. Should you not have encountered this technology previously, print-on-demand does pretty much what it says on the box. When you order a copy of Legacy through Amazon, a digital press will print one book, just for you. Remarkably, the production quality of print-on-demand books is if anything better than that of commercial mass-market fiction. In addition, your book will have been manufactured a few days before you receive it, rather than having been stored for months in a warehouse in Duluth. The production costs of print-on-demand books being relatively low, we've been able to use really nice paper, large trade-size pages and big, readable type. Because these books are sold trough Amazon, you can enjoy free shipping with a Prime account, or if you buy enough other stuff to reach their free shipping threshold. Finally, print-on-demand means pretty much zero waste. Every copy of Legacy that gets printed will actually be sold. By comparison, traditional publishing could see three quarters of the books that were manufactured ultimately being "remaindered" and destroyed. Please click on this big blue button to enjoy Legacy in print... and learn how to turn unwanted politicians into toads. (They're politicians... you know you want to.)
