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.)
New Message Format (second notification)
As will be apparent, we've changed the format of the weekly postings

Also, we get to play with graphics in creating these things,
graphics being one of our favorite phenomena.
