In this release: * *Gaussian Blur:* An issue that caused the Gaussian blur logic that appears in in various Graphic Workshop image filters to misbehave when it was confronted with small areas to process has been addressed. This also fixes the same issues in the Filters window for e-Paint UltraLight. * *JPEG Security: *The IJG JPEG reader has been updated to the newest library release to address several potential vulnerabilities. If you're using the IJG Standard JPEG processor, as selected in Graphic Workshop's Setup window, this one's really essential. We'd like to urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to this release as quickly as possible. * *Favorites:* A memory error in the Favorites window has been fixed. It prevented Favorites from dealing with large numbers of entries in a single gallery under some configurations of Windows. * *HRZ: *A bug in the HRZ writer has been nailed. Admittedly, this may prove to be the known universe's most obscure graphic format, but all software bugs deserve their fate. * *Torn Edges:* An issue with the Torn Edges filter has been resolved. It hitherto caused some tearing to look less natural than should have been the case. * *Photography Workshop:* A bug in the Photography Workshop window that caused its thumbnail list to malfunction under some configurations of Windows has been dispatched. * *Textures and Fractals:* A problem that caused the Noise and Absolute Noise texture panes to share presets ? causing some of their respective library items to refuse to do anything ? has been addressed. * *Threads Texture:* A memory leak in the Threads texture generator has been disabused of its objectionable behavior. * *CDR Writer:* A bug in the CDR writer has been resolved. * *ZIP Passwords:* A logic issue in the password window for ZIP archives has been fixed. This affected Graphic Workshop's internal ZIP functions, and the Archive Manager ancillary application. * *Get Info: *Addresses a cosmetic issue in the Details and EXIF functions of the Get info window. * *Performance: *Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. * *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.
