Graphic Workshop Professional 11 Revision 12
Graphic Workshop Professional 11 has been updated. In this release:
* *JPEG Security:* Graphic Workshop's Turbo JPEG and IJG JPEG
libraries have been updated to the latest releases to address some
security issues.
We'd like to urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to this
release as quickly as possible.
If there seem to have been a lot of JPEG issues of late, we hasten
to note that they're the result of both the maintainers of the JPEG
functionality and ourselves working to stay ahead of the world's
cyber-cretins to prevent your computer being infected with malware.
* *JPEG Override:* The JPEG Override window now includes an option to
change JPEG processors. This will allow you, for example, to
configure Graphic Workshop to use the impossibly fast Turbo JPEG
library by default, and to quickly switch to the updated MOZ JPEG
library when you need the smallest possible JPEGs.
Hold down the Shift key on your keyboard when you click on JPG in
Graphic Workshop's Destination window to access the Override window.
* *Update Links:* The various web page links embedded in Graphic
Workshop — most notably the Download Upgrade item of the Help
menu — have been updated to address our new HTTPS pages directly.
* *PCD Thumbnails:* Addresses a bug that caused PCD graphics to appear
twice in Graphic Workshop's browser windows.
* *Performance: *Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling with.
* *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.
If you haven't experienced Graphic Workshop Professional 11 as yet,
please see its initial release announcement
<http://doc.mindworkshop.com/976.html> for a list of all its new and
enhanced functionality.

Graphic Workshop MOZ JPEG Plugin Revision 2
The MOZ JPEG plugin for Graphic Workshop Professional 11 has been updated.
The MOZ JPEG plugin is a no-cost accessory for Graphic Workshop that
creates JPEG files up to a third smaller than those written by
conventional JPEG applications, with no greater adjustment of image quality.
If you're creating .JPG graphics for a web page, or any other
bandwidth-sensitive application, the MOZ JPEG plugin is pretty much
essential.
In this release:
* *Security:* The newly-released MOZ JPEG plugin embodies all the
recent JPEG security updates to make sure that its JPEG reader isn't
vulnerable to malware attacks.
We'd like to take this opportunity to urge all the users of Graphic
Workshop and the MOZ JPEG plugin to update to this version. Previous
releases of the plugin should not be considered secure.
* *Speed:* The new release of the MOZ JPEG plugin is built against the
same Turbo JPEG reader that Graphic Workshop uses as its primary
JPEG library. Its JPEG reader is shockingly quick. We hasten to note
that it's quite a bit slower writing JPEGs, as it performs a lot of
analysis of each graphic to devise an optimum compression strategy.
* *Size:* The latest release of the MOZ JPEG plugin writes still
smaller JPEGs than its predecessor.

Workshop Professional 11.

Professional 10, we invite you to *upgrade to **Graphic Workshop
Professional 11* for half the single-user license price.

Screen Saver Construction Set 11 Revision 2
Screen Saver Construction Set 11 has been updated. In this release:
* *WebP:* The WebP library has been updated to address a number of
image quality issues and to enhance its security.
* *JPEG Security: *The JPEG reader has been updated to the newest
library release to address several potential vulnerabilities. This
one's really essential.
We'd like to urge all users of Screen Saver Construction Set to
update to this release as quickly as possible.
* *Edge Support:* Screen Saver Construction Set will now find the
Microsoft Edge web browser to display its documentation.
* *Image Libraries:* Updates the image libraries for Screen Saver
Construction Set to address a potential memory leak.
* *User Interface: *The user interface windows of Screen Saver
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.
* *Code Review:* We've completed a line-by-line review of the
underlying source code of Screen Saver Construction Set. This has
resulted in a smaller, faster application... and we dispatched a
number of stealthy bugs, memory leaks and security issues.
* *Performance: *Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling with.
* *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.
