(new this weekend) *NOTE: *The initial release of Graphic Workshop Professional 9 Revision 9 proved to have an obscure bug in its JPEG writer, which was fixed with a subsequent release, revision 10, about a day later. Please check Help ? About for your installation of Graphic Workshop Professional 9. If you have revision 9 or earlier, you should download and install this update. 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 *Upgrades* 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 (additional notification) 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*.
