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.
