Graphic Workshop Professional 9 Revision 7 (new this weekend)
Graphic Workshop Professional 9 has been updated. This release:
* Rewrites the *View mode screen update logic*. It's now
shockingly quick. It also has an Optimum Size mode that will
display your pictures to completely fill the view window, rather
than selecting the nearest integral zoom factor. We hasten to
add that you can select Optimum Size as the default zoom level
in Setup, and you can use the View mode Configure window to set
your middle mouse button or mouse wheel to toggle between
Optimum Size and 100% zoom.
Because of the warped structure of the universe, we're fairly
certain that there exists at least one computer... somewhere...
that won't entirely get along with the improved screen update
functionality. As such, you'll see a message the first time you
open a picture in View to the effect that it can be reverted to
the original banded screen update functionality. Unselect the
Show Me This Message Again option to avoid seeing it in the future.
* Rewrites the *thumbnail *read functionality to make Graphic
Workshop's browser windows populate in less time... 'specially
under Windows 10, which is bit lackadaisical about such things.
* Fixes a truly pernicious bug in the *View mode Filter window*
and the batch mode and right-click Filter windows which could
leak resources and crash things. We urge all users of Graphic
Workshop to update to this version and nail this insidious
little beast before it nails you.
* Fixes pretty much the same pernicious bug in the *Textures and
Fractals window*.
* Adds the ability to remove permanent thumbnails from items in
the *Search* window. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the
thumbnail button.
* Changes the behavior of the *Add Permanent Thumbnails* function
of the Search window — hold down the Alt key and click on the
Thumbnail button. The previous behavior, which used the Shift
key, could enable the face detection feature of the thumbnail
generator if you didn't release the Shift key quickly enough.
* Updates the documentation.
* Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.

Announcing Voice Manager 9
The Yamaha DX7, TX7, reface DX and the Korg Volca FM synthesizers
are amazingly cool... among other things because their voices can be
programmed to make them sound like pretty much anything you can imagine.
In the event that you're not feeling very imaginative, there's also
a voice-sharing community from which to download buckets of fresh
sounds for them.
Alchemy Mindworks' Voice Manager will keep track of banks of
synthesizer voices, allowing them to be saved as permanent disk
files. It also embodies an intuitive voice editor, and numerous
other tools to make these instruments totally rock.
If you play keyboards, we invite you to check out Voice Manager.

Alpha Paint + Icon Editor 9 Revision 6 (additional notification)
Alpha Paint 9 has been updated. This release:
* Fixes a bug in the file save logic that could cause it to
spuriously prompt for a file name.
* Improves the user interface of the *interactive resizing* tool,
and tightens up the resize logic.
* Updates the *PNG readers and writers* address some security
issues. We strongly urge all users of the software to update to
this version to close these potential security holes.
* Addresses several more of minor issues in the settings pane.
* Improves the drawing engine's performance.
* Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
* Updates the documentation.

PNG MNG Construction Set 9 Revision 2 (second notification)
PNG MNG Construction Set 9 has been updated. This release:
* Adds several additional *Throbber* styles. Select Throbbers from
the Edit menu if you've thus far overlooked this feature.
Throbbers are the animations that appear when an on-line medium
is waiting for something to happen. PNG MNG Construction Set
creates some truly unique ones... examples of which appear here.
* Addresses a number of minor issues in the *Throbbers* window.
* Fixes a number of... dare we say bugs... from the initial
version 9 release.
* Updates the *batch processor* to improve its performance and fix
a memory leak... albeit a somewhat theoretical one.
* Stomps a color management problem in the *Transitions* window —
it now creates somewhat better animations when it's confronted
with source images having a wide palette of colors.
* Updates the *PNG readers and writers* in PNG MNG Construction
Set address some security issues. We strongly urge all users of
PNG MNG Construction Set to update to this version to close
these potential security holes.
* Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
* Updates the documentation.
