    Graphic Workshop Professional 14 Revision 4


<http://www.mindworkshop.com/gwspro.html>


*Graphic Workshop Professional 14* has been updated.

*In this release:

*

  * *PNG Security:* The Graphic Workshop PNG library has — once again —
    been updated to the latest release to address several potential
    security and performance issues. We'd like to take this opportunity
    to urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to this release,
    'coz the universe has a lot of really bad people in it.

    The current version of the PNG library is available in the About →
    Credits window. It's currently 1.6.39.

  * *AVI:* Video with sound written to AVI documents now manages its
    sound size more accurately, to ensure that the picture and the sound
    end at the same time, even for really long videos.

  * *Talkies:* Graphic Workshop will now extract the sound from videos —
    just convert from a video format to a sound format, such as WAV or MP3.

  * *MOV: *An issue with Graphic Workshop's MOV reader which prevented
    it from correctly opening MOV video under some configurations of
    Windows has been addressed.

  * *Delete: *The Graphic Workshop Delete prompt window has become more
    prescient about the sizes of the objects it's asked to delete, such
    that it can display canned thumbnails when showing previews of the
    source images in question would have proven too time-consuming.

  * *Impact: *The shockingly cool Impact filter in Graphic Workshop's
    View mode Filters window didn't always turn up when it was summoned
    in previous releases. Now it does.

  * *File Extensions: *An issue with Graphic Workshop's file extension
    logic that saw it unable to reliably distinguish between extensions
    with similar names has been nailed.

    Announcing Calendar Wizard 12



<http://www.mindworkshop.com/calwiz.html>


Calendar Wizard 14 has been released.

We've added new functionality to Calendar Wizard, improved its 
performance and generally refined it to better get along with Windows 10 
and 11. (We hasten to add that it still performs admirably under earlier 
builds of Windows, all the way back to Windows XP, if you're feeling retro.)

Among the new features and enhancements to Calendar Wizard 14, you'll 
find...

  * *PNG Security:* The Calendar Wizard PNG library has been updated to
    the latest release to address several potential security and
    performance issues. We'd like to take this opportunity to urge all
    users of Calendar Wizardto update to this release, 'coz the universe
    has a lot of really bad people in it.

    The current version of the PNG library is now available in the About
    → Credits window. It's currently 1.6.39.*

    *
  * *JPEG Security:* Calendar Wizard's Turbo JPEG library has been
    updated to the latest release to address some security issues.

    We'd like to urge all users of Calendar Wizard to update to this
    release as quickly as possible.

  * *WebP:* The WebP library has been updated to improve its performance.

  * *Speed:* The low-level pixel logic for Calendar Wizard has been
    re-written in optimized machine language. Since much of what
    Calendar Wizard does involves managing pixels, it has become
    substantially quicker.

  * *Welcome Wizard:* A number of problems that appeared on occasion in
    Calendar Wizard's Welcome Wizard have been nailed, and the wizard
    will now prompt you before it begins invoking its magic.

  * *System Information: *Under some configurations of Windows, Calendar
    Wizard's System Information window would omit your motherboard BIOS
    serial number. It's back.*

    *
  * *Drawing Engine:* A number of metrics and details have been improved
    in the calendar drawing engines for Calendar Wizard.

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

  * *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.
