align="right"><b>PNG Security:</b> The Graphic
Workshop 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 Graphic Workshop to
update to this release, 'coz the universe has a lot
of really bad people in it.<br>
<br>
The current version of the PNG library is now
available in the About → Credits window. It's
currently 1.6.38.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>TIFF:</b>
Graphic Workshop's TIFF reader has been refined,
enhanced and made cooler still. It will now open a
much larger palette of TIFF documents... even the
really, really weird ones.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Archive
Manager:</b> An issue that could cause Graphic
Workshop's Archive Manager to decide...
incorrectly... that some .tar.gz archives were
damaged has been addressed.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Welcome
Wizard:</b> A number of problems that appeared on
occasion in Graphic Workshop's Welcome Wizard have
been nailed, and the wizard will now prompt you
before it begins invoking its magic.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Secure
EXIF Metadata:</b> Several problems that could
cause the Secure EXIF item to be absent from Graphic
Workshop's right-click menu under some
configurations of Windows have been disabused of
this behavior. Should you be unfamiliar with it,
Secure EXIF will quickly and permanently remove the
hidden metadata from JPG and PNG documents that
could be used to determine exactly where you were
when you took the pictures in question.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>More
Secure EXIF Metadata:</b> Graphic Workshop's
Secure EXIF logic is now available as a batch
function. Select as many JPG and PNG documents as
you like and then select Secure EXIF from the
Graphic Workshop Image menu to remove their location
data.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Presentaton
Wizard UltraLight:</b> Graphic Workshop's
ancillary Presentation Wizard UltraLight
application's runtime has been updated to use our
shockingly fast low-level pixel management
technology, speeding everything up.<br>
<br>
</font></li>

align="right"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif"><b>Thumbnail Alpha: </b>Graphic
Workshop's thumbnail manager hitherto ignored the
transparency of some images when it was creating
thumbnails. This has been fixed.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Preview
Alpha:</b> Graphic Workshop's preview image logic
was also omitting alpha transparency under some
configurations of Windows, and this too is history.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>MP3:</b>
Under some configurations of Windows, Graphic
Workshop's browsers could display two thumbnails for
each MP3 document therein. It's now down the
traditional one thumbnail for file.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>System
Information: </b>Under some configurations of
Windows, Graphic Workshop's System Information
window would omit your motherboard BIOS serial
number. It's back.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Get
Information:</b>The Graphic Workshop Get
Information window didn't always respond correctly
to a held-down Shift key to disable its preview
image. Now it does.<br>
