Graphic Workshop Professional 9 Revision 9 (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.

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*.

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

* Fixes several bugs in the original *Remote Content*

such as shadows, to appear darker than they should have.
* Cleans up a number of *user interface* issues throughout the

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*.
