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.
