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 Pagan Daybook 14
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/pagan.html>
Pagan Daybook 14 has been released.
We've added new functionality to Pagan Daybook, 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 Pagan Daybook 14, you'll find...
* *PNG Security:* The Pagan Daybook 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 Pagan Daybookto 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:* Pagan Daybook's Turbo JPEG library has been updated
to the latest release to address some security issues.
We'd like to urge all users of Pagan Daybook 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 Pagan Daybook has been
re-written in optimized machine language. Since much of what Pagan
Daybook does involves managing pixels, it has become substantially
quicker.*
*
* *Welcome Wizard:* A number of problems that appeared on occasion in
Pagan Daybook'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, Pagan
Daybook's System Information window would omit your motherboard BIOS
serial number. It's back.
*
*
* *Rendering Engine:* A number of metrics and details have been
improved in the background drawing engines for Pagan Daybook.
* *Performance: *Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling with.
* *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.
