(new this weekend) Graphic Workshop Professional 9 has been updated. This release: * Updates the *JPEG functionality* in Graphic Workshop and its ancillary applications? to be blindingly, shockingly *fast*... and possibly violate a few laws of physics. The new JPEG reader also addresses a number of potential *security holes* which could have allowed a maliciously-crafted JPG file to execute arbitrary code and compromise a computer running previous releases of Graphic Workshop . We urge everyone running Graphic Workshop to update to this release really, really soon ? some time yesterday would be ideal. If you're running a version of Graphic Workshop *older than version 9*, please see the *Updates* section, below. To enable the high-speed JPEG reader in an existing installation of Graphic Workshop Professional 9, click on the Gear button in the Graphic Workshop tool bar to open ts Setup window, select the Formats tab and set JPEG Processor in the lower right corner to *LibJPEG Turbo (fastest)*. There's a complete discussion of the available JPEG processors for Graphic Workshop in the Formats document of its manual, in the JPG section. * Updates the Graphic Workshop *image handling libraries* with our new anti-tampering logic to make them more secure and resistant to cyber-cretins. * Updates the *Welcome Wizard* to include a selection item for the JPEG processor for use with Graphic Workshop, and to fix a minor bug. * Updates the *EXIF Editor* to address several cosmetic issues. * Fixes a bug in the *View* *window* title bar which could cause it to display incorrect dimension values after using the Filters window. * Updates the documentation. * Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. Upgrades If you have registered or upgraded a registration for Graphic Workshop Professional 8, we invite you to upgrade to Graphic Workshop Professional 9 for *half the current new-user price*. *Older software: *If you're running a registered older version of Graphic Workshop ? Graphic Workshop 4 or better ? we'd like to urge you in strongest possible terms to upgrade to version 9, so the security holes in the old JPEG reader don't risk letting the slime of the Internet access your computer. For the duration of this update cycle ? for the next week, at least ? we invite you to*upgrade to Graphic Workshop Professional 9* for *half price*, even if the reduced-price upgrade window is no longer valid for your version. Just ignore the warning about upgrades only being applicable to version 8 and 9 at our e-commerce page ? your Graphic Workshop upgrade order will be accepted. Click on the blue button below to visit the upgrade page. Screen Saver Construction Set 9 Revision 2 Screen Saver Construction Set 9 has been updated. This release: * Updates the *JPEG functionality* in Screen Saver Construction Set to be blindingly, shockingly fast... and possibly violate a few laws of physics. The new JPEG reader addresses a number of potential security holes which could have allowed a maliciously-crafted JPG file to execute arbitrary code and compromise a computer running Screen Saver Construction Set. We urge everyone running Screen Saver Construction Set to update to this release really, really soon. * Updates the Screen Saver Construction Set *image handling libraries* with our new anti-tampering logic. * Extends Screen Saver Construction Set's *Remote C**o**ntent* objects ? now include server-based sounds in your presentations. You can build WAV, MP3 andMIDI objects into your presentation pages that are fetched from your server, rather than stored in your presentation documents. As such, you can change the content of your presentations after they've been distributed. If it were any cooler, it would be measured in degrees Kelvin. * Fixes several bugs in the original *Remote Content* functionality that could leak memory under certain builds of Windows. * Updates the *page refresh* logic of Screen Saver Construction Set's run time to make it quicker. * Fixes a bug in the aforementioned Screen Saver Construction Set runtime that could see *Image objects with alpha transparency* drawn twice when a page refreshed, which caused translucent elements, such as shadows, to appear darker than they should have. * Cleans up a number of *user interface* issues throughout the application. * Updates the *PNG readers and writers* in Screen Saver Construction Set to address some security issues. We strongly urge all users of The Ultimate Screen Clock 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*. Click on the blue button to download Screen Saver Construction Set 9. Upgrades If you have registered or upgraded a registration for Screen Saver Construction Set 8, we invite you to upgrade to Screen Saver Construction Set 9 for *half the current new-user price*. Click on the blue button below to visit the upgrade page. Presentation Wizard 9Revision 2 (additional notification) Presentation Wizard 9 has been Updated. This release: * Extends Presentation Wizard's *Remote C**o**ntent* objects ? now include server-based sounds in your presentations. You can build WAV, MP3 and MIDI objects into your presentation pages that are fetched from your server, rather than stored in your presentation documents. As such, you can change the content of your presentations after they've been distributed. If it were any cooler, it would be measured in degrees Kelvin. * Fixes several bugs in the original *Remote Content* functionality that could leak memory under certain builds of Windows. * Updates the *page refresh* logic of Presentation Wizard's run time to make it quicker. * Fixes a bug in the aforementioned Presentation Wizard runtime that could see *Image objects with alpha transparency* drawn twice when a page refreshed, which caused translucent elements, such as shadows, to appear darker than they should have. * Cleans up a number of *user interface* issues throughout the application. * Updates the *PNG readers and writers* in Presentation Wizard to address some security issues. We strongly urge all users of The Ultimate Screen Clock 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*. Click on the blue button to download Presentation Wizard 9. Upgrades If you have registered or upgraded a registration for Presentation Wizard 8, we invite you to upgrade to Presentation Wizard 9 for *half the current new-user price*. Click on the blue button below to visit the upgrade page. The Ultimate Screen Clock 9 Revision 3(additional notification) The Ultimate Screen Clock 9 has been updated. This release: * Corrects the *document path* where The Ultimate Screen Clock looks for style overrides, user-created clocks and other ancillary items. It was previously set to My Documents/My Screen Clocks ? sadly, a non-existent folder as far as the software was concerned, rather than My Documents/My Screen Clocks 9 , as it is now. From the previous weekend's release: * Adds the *Radio* *clock style*, examples of which are illustrated here. The small graphics don't really do this one justice. Harkening back to a fanciful past ? which is way more fun than a dystopian present ? the Radio style is available in three sizes, with and without a bezel, and in animated versions in which its digits cycle, just like back when a personal computer was about the size of an Amazon warehouse. You might want to stand well back from your monitor if you select one of the Huge style options. Note that you'll need to download and install the extra styles library for The Ultimate Screen Clock to access all the Radio style options. * Updates the *Select Style window* to generate list graphics in the background, to minimize the delay as you initially scroll through the available clocks. The Select Style windows are a lot more responsive now, and way easier to use. There's a complete discussion of this functionality in the section of the Reference document that deals with selecting styles, and we hasten to mention that it can be disabled if you don't like it as much as we did. * Updates the *PNG readers and writers* in The Ultimate Screen Clock to address some security issues. We strongly urge all users of The Ultimate Screen Clock to update to this version to close these potential security holes. * Addresses some potential timing issues in the*Net Time* functionality. * Improves the *clock rendering engine*. * Addresses a number of*GDI and performance issues* that software developers never really stop meddling with. * Updates the *documentation*. Click on the blue button to download The Ultimate Screen Clock 9. Upgrades If you have registered or upgraded a registration for The Ultimate Screen Clock 8, we invite you to upgrade to The Ultimate Screen Clock 9 for *half the current new-user price*.

( http://mindworkshop.com/mailman/options/newsletter ) Graphic Workshop Professional 9 Revision 10? (new this weekend) Well, this is embarrassing. The speedy new JPEG processor in Graphic Workshop Professional 9 turned out to have a very obscure bug that could cause it to write invalid JPEG files, depending on the image dimensions and the version of Windows involved. The bug has been stomped, and Graphic Workshop Professional 9 has been updated to revision 10, available at our web page. If you installed Graphic Workshop Professional 9revision 9 this weekend, we recommend that you download and install revision 10 to make sure you don't encounter this bug in the future. Please click on the big blue button to visit our web page and download the update. Thanks for your patience.
