    Graphic Workshop Professional 10 Revision 8
    (additional notification)




Graphic Workshop Professional 10 has been updated. Among its new and 
updated features are:


  * *Graphic Libraries:* The libraries that open and save graphic files
    for Graphic Workshop's ancillary applications, such as Camera,
    e-Paint UltraLight, GIF Construction Set UltraLight, have been
    reviewed, line by line, until several programmers begged for a few
    days of differential calculus instead. They're now substantially
    more secure, and as such more resistant to malformed graphic files
    that have been crafted to install malware on your computer. They're
    also quicker and have smaller memory footprints.

    We urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to the current
    release and nail these vulnerabilities before they nail you.

  * *Ancillary Application Security:*In our continuing determination to
    ensure that Graphic Workshop presents no opportunities for
    cybercretins to exploit, we've done a line-by-line review of its
    source code of all its ancillary applications, such as Camera,
    e-Paint UltraLight, GIF Construction Set UltraLight, to find any
    potential buffer overruns. Several turned up. Now they're history.

  * *JPE Association:* Adds a link to the list of associated file types
    to support JPE files, an alternate extension for JPG.

  * *Textures and Fractals:* Adds the
    Threads texture, a wildly ebullient procedural fractal that
    simulates complex surfaces as sequences of random twisted lines. You
    really need to see this puppy at work to truly appreciate how
    alternate-universe it can get.

    The example animation shown here, comprised of several example
    Threads textures, represents but a fraction of its capabilities.

  * *Animated GIF: *Addresses a number of performance and security
    issues in the animated GIF reader. It also fixes the status bar
    graph, so it behaves itself when an animated GIF document reads.

  * *e-Paint Tool Box: *Addresses a cosmetic bug in the e-Paint
    UltraLight tool box window, under some configurations of Windows.

  * *Crop menu:* Updates the Setup window to include an option to enable
    and disable the right-click menu in the Crop window.

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

  * *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.

    PNG MNG Construction Set 10 Revision 5



If you build or maintain web pages and you're still using GIF 
animations, prepare to experience the state of the art.

PNG MNG Construction Set 10 has been updated. Among its new and enhanced 
features are:

  * *Graphic Libraries:* The libraries that open and save graphic files
    for PNG MNG Construction Set have been reviewed, line by line, until
    several programmers begged for a few days of differential calculus
    instead. They're now substantially more secure, and as such more
    resistant to malformed graphic files that have been crafted to
    install malware on your computer. They're also quicker and have
    smaller memory footprints.

    We urge all users of PNG MNG Construction Setto update to the
    current release and nail these vulnerabilities before they nail you.

  * *Animation Workshop:* The file selection panes of Animation Workshop
    now reference the Windows thumbnail cache to build their thumbnail
    graphics. Animation Workshop's user interface is way quicker.

  * *Plugins:* Nails a potential memory leak in the plugin interface.

  * *Photostack:* Addresses a problem that could cause image chunks to
    appear at incorrect locations when a Photostack animation was
    created under some configurations of Windows.

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

  * *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.
