    Graphic Workshop Professional 10 Revision 8
    (additional notification)



Graphic Workshop Professional 11 has been updated. 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.

    Animation Workshop 11 Revision 3




Animation Workshop 11 has been updated. In this release:

  * *WebP:* Updates the library that reads and writes WebP documents for
    Graphic Workshop and its ancillary applications to address several
    potential security issues.

    It also improves the image quality of exported WebP animations.

  * *JPEG Security: *Updates Animation Workshop's JPEG reader to the
    latest release to address several potential vulnerabilities.

  * *Edge Support:* Animation Workshop will now find the Microsoft Edge
    web browser to display its documentation.

  * *Image Libraries:* Updates the image libraries for Animation
    Workshop to address a potential memory leak.

  * *User Interface: *The user interface windows of Animation Workshop
    have been enhanced. A number of features of the application are more
    intuitive and easier to understand. Everything looks tight and
    leading-edge.

  * *Code Review:* We've completed a line-by-line review of the
    underlying source code of Animation Workshop. This has resulted in a
    smaller, faster application... and we dispatched a number of
    stealthy bugs, memory leaks and security issues.

  * *Image Libraries:* Image Libraries: Updates the image libraries for
    Animation Workshop to address a potential memory leak.

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

  * *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.

    GIF Construction Set Professional 11 Revision 5
    (new this weekend)




GIF Construction Set Professional 11 has been updated. In this release:

  * *Loop: *Fixes a bug in the looping logic that prevented the View
    window from correctly displaying a finite numberof loops under some
    configurations of Windows.

  * *Local to Global:* Fixes a bug in the Local to Global logic that
    could mangle the final color palette in some animations.

  * *Transitions:* Plugs a memory leak in the Transitions window.

  * *Wide Palette GIF:* Stomps a bug that crept into the Wide Palette
    GIF window. While it's a somewhat obscure feature of GIF
    Construction Set, even obscure features need to behave themselves.

  * *Resize: *An issue which caused the resize window to create final
    animations of slightly unpredictable dimensions under some builds of
    Windows is now history.

  * *Reconstruct:* A logic issue in the Reconstruct function has been
    addressed. This affected several other features of GIF Construction
    Set as well, in that they invoked Reconstruct.

  * *Titles and Credits:* Addresses an issue in the Titles and Credits
    window that could result in unattractive credits if the text thereof
    extended beyond the edge of the animation being created.

  * *Scripting: *The Scripting functionality has been removed from GIF
    Construction Set. A revenant of the late twentieth century, we're
    pretty sure no one's used it in decades. Its departure reduced the
    code footprint and the startup time of GIF Construction Set
    considerably.

  * *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 11 Revision 4



PNG MNG Construction Set 11 has been updated. In this release:

  * *Code Review: *We've completed a line-by-line review of the
    underlying source code of PNG MNG Construction Set. This has
    resulted in a smaller, faster application... and we dispatched a
    number of stealthy bugs, memory leaks and security issues.

    We'd like to urge all users of PNG MNG Construction Set to update to
    this release as quickly as possible.

  * *User Interface:*The user interface windows of PNG MNG Construction
    Set have been enhanced. A number of features of the application are
    more intuitive and easier to understand. Everything looks tight and
    leading-edge.

  * *Image Libraries:* Updates the image libraries for PNG MNG
    Construction Set to address a potential memory leak.

  * *WebP Viewer: *Addresses an issue in the WebP View window that could
    cause the background removal logic to become confused by some
    animations.

  * *Gaussian Blur:* Fixes a bug in the Gaussian Blur generator in the
    Shadows window that hitherto caused it to behave unpredictably when
    it was confronted with very small areas to process.

  * *Transitions:* Addresses a memory leak in the Transitions window.

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

  * *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.
