This release: * Updates the PNG functionality. PNG and JPEG security, the next item in this section, can affect graphics used as theme backgrounds, tiles and Personal Days illustrations. Our ongoing review of the security of the various libraries used by e-Paint revealed that its PNG reader and writer could have been subject to several serious vulnerabilities, including CVE-2016-3751, CVE-2015-8540 and CVE-2015-8472. These issues could potentially allow a maliciously-crafted PNG graphic to execute arbitrary code on the computer opening it. We'd like to urge all users of Pagan Daybookto update to this release ASAP. Don't close this message 'til you've clicked on the appropriate button below. * Addresses several security issues in the JPEG library used by Pagan Daybook. It's our understanding that the previous version of the JPEG library used by Pagan Daybookcould have allowed a maliciously-crafted JPEG graphic to execute arbitrary code on a host computer. The world includes some really scary people. Pagan Daybook has been rebuilt using the latest - and wholly secure - JPEG functionality. * We've also updated the 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. * Nails a bug in the time difference logic that underlies the Days Until, Days Since and Days Between windows, and addresses potential errors of one day in their calculations, albeit only for fairly lengthy periods of time in certain weird permutations. They're bugs... they deserve to die. * Updates the observance database. * Adds assistance buttons to the initial registration key windows. Click on the question marks if you discover yourself to be lost. * Updates the Credits window in Help ? About. While every bit as exciting as watching bricks sleep, the Credits window includes information which is helpful in resolving support issues. The updated window is both easier to read and find things in, and it has allowed us to add more information to assist us in addressing user questions. * Updates UpToDate, which installs with Pagan Daybook. The new UpToDate features an expanded Alert window with larger, more easily-read type and a user-configurable font, just in case you'd like it larger still. It will also display content-specific graphics. * 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 Pagan Daybook 7, you can upgrade to Pagan Daybook8 for half the cost of a new single-user license.

Our ongoing review of the security of the various libraries used by e-Paint revealed that its PNG reader and writer could have been subject to several serious vulnerabilities, including CVE-2016-3751, CVE-2015-8540 and CVE-2015-8472.

Don't close this message 'til you've clicked on the appropriate button below. * Updates the PNG reader to correctly support all the weird-beard PNG format variations... and there are a lot of them. * Fixes a bug in the polygon tool that could cause objects to be drawn slightly offset to the left in some circumstances, under some builds of Windows, in proximity to a large penguin or other flightless aquatic bird. * Updates the Credits window in Help ? About. While every bit as exciting as watching bricks sleep, the Credits window includes information which is helpful in resolving support issues.

Graphic Workshop Professional 8 Revision 8 (second notification) Graphic Workshop Professional 8 has been updated. This release: * Fixes a bug in the shiny new PNG reader. Well this is embarrassing... The new PNG functionality in Graphic Workshop was creating graphics with erroneous color depths when it was asked to read alpha-channel PNG files in some circumstances, which could then not be written to other formats. A "too many colors" error was returned. This release fixes the problem. * Adds audible alerts to several additional functions around Graphic Workshop, most notably Save in View mode. * Suppresses the creation of thumbnails when saving to the Windows clipboard. * 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.
