    Graphic Workshop Professional 10 Revision 9
    (new this weekend)




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


  * *JPEG Library:* The library that reads and writes JPEG documents —
    or .JPG files — has been updated to the latest release. This
    addresses a potential stability issue, and it improves the already
    light-speed JPEG management in Graphic Workshop and its ancillary
    applications.

  * *Scan to View:*In addition to scanning to documents, Graphic
    Workshop can now scan to its View window, from whence you can edit,
    process, crop and ultimately save your scanned images. Hold down the
    Ctrl key on your keyboard when you click on the Scan button in the
    Graphic Workshop tool bar to use the scan to View option.

  * *Print Workshop: *Addresses an issue in Print Workshop that could
    cause it to crash if it was asked to print a paletted graphic, under
    some configurations of Windows.

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

  * *GWS Camera Preview:* Adds an option to the GWS Camera screen
    capture to allow your captures to be previewed before they're
    written to graphic files.

  * *Reset Blocker:* Addresses a reporting issue in the Application
    Reset Blocker. The Application Reset Blocker will assist you in
    preventing Windows from periodically resetting your selected
    applications for opening documents to its default choices, such as
    the Edge web browser and the Photos viewer.

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

  * *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.

    Pagan Daybook 10 Revision 2
    (second notification)




Pagan Daybook 10 has been updated. Among its new and enhanced features are:

  * ***Application Security:*In our continuing determination to ensure
    that Pagan Daybook presents no opportunities for cybercretins to
    exploit, we've done a line-by-line review of its source code to find
    any potential buffer overruns. Several turned up. Now they're history.

  * *Graphic Libraries:* The libraries that open graphic files for Pagan
    Daybook 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 Pagan Daybookto update to the current release
    and nail these vulnerabilities before they nail you.

  * *Further Application Security:* Addresses a particularly stealthy
    and pernicious memory issue which afflicts the internal
    configuration logic andthe themes used by Pagan Daybook. Left to its
    own devices, this one could crash the application and potentially
    compromise your Windows security.

  * *Screen Saver: *Addresses an issue in Pagan Daybook's screen saver
    which could cause it to display some textured backgrounds with
    incomplete tiling under some configurations of Windows.

    This update also adds a number of new background textures for Pagan
    Daybook's screen saver.

  * *Observance Database: *Updates the observance database, addresses a
    few typos. The gods favor decent spelling... probably.

  * *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
    (additional notification)



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 Set to 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.

    The Great Winemaking Tax Revolt Updated
    (second notification)



If you feel like you're buying a round for the government every time you 
raise a glass of wine, it might be time to consider making your own.

Steven William Rimmer's lucid, approachable overview of home brewing has 
been revised and updated. Referencing the state of the art in 
winemaking,The Great Winemaking Tax Revolt will guide you through 
successfully making your own wine even if all your earlier experience in 
the craft involved pouring commercial moonshine from a cardboard box 
with a duck on the front.

It will also help you save a very large pile of taxes while you're 
drinking the health of your friends and family.
