Graphic Workshop Professional 12 Revision 11
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/gwspro.html>
Graphic Workshop Professional 12 has been updated.
In this release:
* *PNG:* The PNG reader in Graphic Workshop and its ancillary
applications has been updated to correctly handle interlaced PNG
graphics with slightly funky code structures... of which there
appear to be a substantial number. This is not a security issue, but
it will prevent the occasional PNG from looking like a sand painting.
The PNG reader has also experienced a noticeable speed improvement.
* *Rename:* The Graphic Workshop Rename window now includes a
thumbnail of the graphic you've right-clicked on or the first
graphic in a selected batch to visually confirm what you're about to
change the name of.
* *Print:* The Graphic Workshop Print window now includes a thumbnail
of the graphic you've right-clicked on or the first graphic in a
selected batch to visually confirm what you're about to render as
hard copy.
* *MP3*: A bug that caused the status display to misbehave when MP3
documents were written by Graphic Workshop has been disabused of its
bad attitude.
* *Audio:* A bug in the audio visualization logic, that created
waveform plots of sound documents, has been addressed.
* *Icon Editor: *The Graphic Workshop Icon Editor UltraLight
application has has a number of issues addressed. Its Eyedropper
tool now correctly works with the first row of pixels in a graphic.
Ctrl-A now reliably selects an entire document. An issue that caused
the alpha masks of transformed image fragments to display
incorrectly in some cases is history. A bug that crashed the Resize
window has been stomped. A Windows problem that caused a number of
unpredictable behaviors when objects were drawn or dragged to the
outermost column or row of pixels in a graphic under some
configurations of Windows has been dealt with.
* *Filters:* The Filters window in Graphic Workshop and e-Paint
UltraLight has been updated to address a number of cosmetic problems.
* *Gradient:* The Gradient section window that turns up in various
places in Graphic Workshop and its ancillary applications has been
updated to address a problem that prevented the center coordinates
of a gradient from being set to negative values under some
configurations of Windows.
* *e-Paint UltraLight: *A bug in the tool palette window of e-Paint
UltraLight that caused only the right half of examples brushes to be
displayed has been addressed.

referencing pixels in the first horizontal line of some graphics has
been addressed.
* *Ctrl-A:* Ctrl-A now correctly selects an entire graphic.
* *Spray Can Tool:* The tool palette now displays a preview image for
the Spray Can tool.
* *Transform:* A bug that could cause Alpha Paint's alpha masks to
display incorrectly after using one of the Transform functions has
been stomped.
* *Resize:* A bug that could crash Alpha Paint after invoking the
Resize function under some configurations of Windows is history.
* *Drawing Domain:* A Windows problem that caused a number of
unpredictable behaviors when objects were drawn or dragged to the
outermost column or row of pixels in a graphic under some
configurations of Windows has been dealt with.
* *Performance:*Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling with.
* *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.

The Ultimate Screen Clock 12 Revision 3
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/clock.html>
The Ultimate Screen Clock 12 has been updated.
In this release:
* *Select Clock Style:* An issue has turned up in the Select Clock
Style window in which scrolling past the Font clock item could
destabilize or crash The Ultimate Screen Clock under some
configurations of Windows. It has been dispatched to an alternate
universe.
From the previous release:
* *JPEG Security:* The Ultimate Screen Clock's Turbo JPEG library has
been updated to the latest releases to address some security and
image quality issues.
We'd like to urge all users of The Ultimate Screen Clock to update
to this release as quickly as possible.
Keeping The Ultimate Screen Clock's JPEG readers up to date and
secure being a substantial bulwark against the barbarian hoards, you
can now check the TurboJPEG library's version in The Ultimate Screen
Clock right-click → About → Credits window, right at the bottom of
the scroll list. The current one is 2.1.3.
* <http://gra.mindworkshop.com/1056-002.png>*Netherworld:* This
release of The Ultimate Screen Clock includes the digital and analog
Netherworld clock styles, which are seriously dark and goth and
infernal and the stuff of legend. They come in multiple sizes and
colors — the digital Netherworld styles are available with and
without a bezel and with an optional spooky digital dissolve.
The example above arguably fails to do it justice — click on it for
a larger clock. We should also point out that this graphic is an
animation, not actual software. It's decidedly unlikely that it's
displaying the correct time.
We hasten to add that most of the variations for the Netherworld
style are available in the extra styles library for The Ultimate
Screen Clock. Be sure to download and install it for the total
Netherworld experience.
* *Select Clock Style:* The Select Clock Style windows in The Ultimate
Screen Clock have been updated to make them shockingly quick.
* *Small Analog Styles:* A bug that caused a number of the smaller
analog clock styles to be displayed with damaged graphics has been
ruthlessly stomped.
* *Rendering Engine:* The clock rendering engine has been updated to
improve the appearance of outlined straight hands.
