Screen Saver Construction Set 8 Revision 2
Screen Saver Construction Set 8 has been updated. This release:
* Adds a Scrapbook. Quickly add your page objects - buttons,
pictures, animations, frames and such - to the Screen Saver
Construction Set Scrapbook so they can subsequently be browsed
and reused in later documents. If you build or maintain multiple
Screen Saver Construction Set documents, this thing saves
several light-years of mouse activity.
There's a complete discussion of the new Scrapbook feature in
the Reference document for Screen Saver Construction Set's
manual, stealthily entitled "Scrapbook."
* Updates the JPEG reader to address several security
vulnerabilities. This is a potentially serious threat, and we
strongly urge all users of Screen Saver Construction Set to
update to this release immediately.
* Updates the JPEG reader to adjust the orientation of images
taken with a camera that was something other than horizontal at
the time, and which added EXIF data to the JPEGs in question to
indicate their correct orientation.
* Updates the document runtime.
* Updates the installer script generator.
* Address several issues with the Page editor. We're loath to call
them "bugs," because, really, who likes bugs...
* Improves the graphic import filter logic to deal with more weird
and mutated graphic file types. Yes, they're out there, and they
know where you live.
* 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.

Presentation Wizard 8 Revision 2(second notification)
Presentation Wizard 8 has been updated. This release:
* Adds a Scrapbook. Quickly add your page objects - buttons,
pictures, animations, frames and such - to the Presentation
Wizard Scrapbook so they can subsequently be browsed and reused
in later presentations. If you build or maintain multiple
Presentation Wizard documents, this thing saves several
light-years of mouse activity.
There's a complete discussion of the new Scrapbook feature in
the Reference document for Presentation Wizard's manual,
stealthily entitled "Scrapbook."
* Updates the document runtime.
* Updates the installer script generator.
* Address several issues with the Page editor. We're loath to call
them "bugs," because, really, who likes bugs...
* Improves the graphic import filter logic to deal with more weird
and mutated graphic file types. Yes, they're out there, and they
know where you live.
* Adds assistance buttons to the initial registration key windows.

developers never really stop meddling with.

new single-user license.

Graphic Workshop Professional 8 Revision 5 (additional 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.

Do You See the Graphics in this Message?
We've heard from several subscribers to the Alchemy Mindworks update
mailing list about how much more readable these postings would be if
they included pictures. A few small icons would be cool, perhaps
some clickable buttons...
Needless to say, there were pictures in this one when it was
uploaded to the list server.
If you're not seeing the graphics, chances are your mail reader is
blocking them. Some web-based mail clients and software mail
applications do so by default, either to conserve bandwidth or under
the assumption that some graphic objects can be potential security
threats.
We hasten to add that the PNG graphics in these postings aren't
among them.
If you're not seeing the pictures, please visit
http://blog.mindworkshop.com/alchemy-mindworks/graphics-in-update-list/
for the whole lurid tale, and a set of mouse-friendly instructions
for resolving this issue. In other circumstances we'd have used a
cool graphic button for the foregoing link, but if you need it, you
wouldn't have been able to see it.
