This release: * Addresses several security issues in the JPEG library used by PNG MNG Construction Set. It's our understanding that the previous version of the JPEG library used by PNG MNGcould have allowed a maliciously-crafted JPEG graphic to execute arbitrary code on a host computer. The world includes some really scary people. PNG MNG has been rebuilt using the latest - and wholly secure - JPEG functionality. We'd like to urge all users of PNG MNGto update to this release ASAP. Don't close this message 'til you've clicked on the appropriate button below. * We've also updated the ancillary JPEG reader to be aware of the presence of EXIF metadata in the JPEG files it reads and adjust the orientation of the resulting pictures if they were taken with a camera held in something other than the traditional landscape position. * 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 PNG MNGConstruction Set 7, you can upgrade to PNG MNG Construction Set 8 for half the cost of a new single-user license. * NOTE:* If you're currently running PNG MNGConstruction Set6 or PNG MNGConstruction Set 7, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to the current release to address the JPEG archive vulnerability described above. Users of PNG MNGConstruction Set7 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 PNG MNGConstruction Set 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. GIF Construction Set Professional 8 Revision 4 (second notification) GIF Construction Set Professional 8 has been updated. This release: * Addresses several security issues in the JPEG library used by GIF Construction Set Professional.

Graphic Workshop Professional 8 Revision 6 (additional notification) Graphic Workshop Professional 8 has been updated. This release: * Addresses several security issues in the JPEG library used by Graphic Workshop and its ancillary applications. It's our understanding that the previous version of the JPEG library used by Graphic Workshop could have allowed a maliciously-crafted JPEG graphic to execute arbitrary code on a host computer. The world includes some really scary people. Graphic Workshop itself and the library called by its ancillary applications to read and write JPG files have been rebuilt using the latest - and wholly secure - JPEG functionality. We'd like to urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to this release ASAP. Don't close this message 'til you've clicked on the appropriate button below. * We've also updated the ancillary JPEG reader to be aware of the presence of EXIF metadata in the JPEG files it reads and adjust the orientation of the resulting pictures if they were taken with a camera held in something other than the traditional landscape position. While Graphic Workshop itself has handled this function for years, now the applications that come bundled with it - such as Presentation Wizard UltraLight, e-Paint UltraLight and Montage - do so as well. * 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 JPEG 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.
