        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.

        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.

        Legacy Is Now In Print!!!

    <http://www.stevenwilliamrimmer.com/legacy.html>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


        <http://www.stevenwilliamrimmer.com/legacy.html>


    to enjoy Legacy in print... and learn how to turn unwanted
    politicians into toads. (They're politicians... you know you want to.)
