        Graphic Workshop Professional 9 Revision 10  (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.

        e-Paint 9 Revision 2


    e-Paint 9 has been updated. This release:


      * Updates the *JPEG functionality* in e-Paint 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 e-Paint .

        We urge everyone running e-Paint to update to this release
        really, really soon — some time yesterday would be ideal.

        If you're running a version of e-Paint *older than version 9*,
        please see the *Upgrades***section, below.

      * Updates the e-Paint *image handling libraries* with our new
        anti-tampering logic to make them more secure and resistant to
        cyber-cretins.

      * Fixes a bug in the Filters window Resize pane that occasionally
        estimated the size of a resized image incorrectly, depending on
        how the rounding errors fell.

      * Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
        developers never really stop meddling with.

      * Updates the documentation.

        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*.
