Graphic Workshop Professional 12 Revision 16
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/gwspro.html>
Graphic Workshop Professional 12 has been updated.
In this release:
* *Print Workshop:* The Print Workshopwindow can now be accessed
directly from Graphic Workshop's View mode — select Print Workshop
from the View window's File menu. Unlike the basic Print function,
Print Workshop will allow you to print your graphics to the exact
size you need them, complete with optional crop and alignment marks.
* *Search:* An issue with the Search function that disabled several of
its processes under some configurations of Windows has been stomped.
* *Photography Workshop:* A problem that prevented graphics with alpha
transparency from displaying correctly in the tile list of the
Photography Workshop window has been addressed.
* *Presentation Wizard UltraLight:* An issue that caused the Paint
function of Presentation Wizard UltraLight to create invalid
temporary files under some configurations of Windows — and in so
doing disabling or crashing whichever paint application it called —
has been mercilessly stomped, and will never trouble anyone again.
* *Calendar Wizard UltraLight:*The aforementioned Paint problem
hitherto afflicted Calendar Wizard UltraLight as well. It has been
disabused of its boorish behavior.
* *Animation Workshop UltraLight: *A problem that could crash
Animation Workshop UltraLight under some configurations of Windows
when certain PNG graphics were imported has been nailed. The
previously mentioned Paint issue has also been dealt with in
Animation Workshop UltraLight
* *BGA:* A bug which prevented Graphic Workshop from reading BGA
graphics correctly under some configurations of Windows has been
addressed.
* *CDR:* A bug that prevented CDR thumbnails from being read correctly
under some configurations of Windows is no more.
* *Web Checker:* A cosmetic issue in the Web Checker ancillary
application that caused its Address field combo to be displayed
oddly has been dispatched.
* *Resource Leak: *A subtle but truly reprehensible resource leak in
Graphic Workshop no longer inhabits this world.

Alpha Paint 12 Revision 4
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/alphap.html>
Alpha Paint 12 has been updated.
In this release:
* *Memory Leak:* A decidedly pernicious memory leak in Alpha Paint's
folder interface under some configurations of Windows has been
stomped. Left to its own devices, it could crash the application.
We'd like to urge all users of Alpha Paint to update to this release
as quickly as possible.
* *WebP:* The WebP library interface has been improved. In addition,
the current library version number can now be found in the Credits
list of Alpha Paint's About window. The current release is 1.2.2.
* *Drawing Engine:* A number of minor inconsistencies Alpha Paint's
drawing engine have been addressed.
* *Default Beep: *The confirmation sound that Alpha Paint plays has
found itself tasked with signalling the conclusion of a number of
processes in Alpha Paint. It has come to our attention that the
Windows sound that it references by default can be really annoying
in other contexts, and a substantial number of Windows 10 and 11
users disable it... which also silences Alpha Paint.
Should you find yourself thus afflicted, you can now copy any short
WAV file sound to the Alchemy Mindworks configuration data folder —
see the Configuration document in Alpha Paint's manual for
assistance in locating it — and name said file Notify.wav to have it
serve as Alpha Paint's default noise.
* *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 12 Revision 6
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/pngpro.html>
PNG MNG Construction Set 12 has been updated.
In this release:
* *Paint:* An issue that caused the Paint function of PNG MNG
Construction Set to create invalid temporary files under some
configurations of Windows — and in so doing disabling or crashing
whichever paint application it called — has been mercilessly
stomped, and will never trouble anyone again.
