1. Pagan Daybook 5 Revision 3
_______________________________________________________________________
Pagan Daybook 5 has been updated. This release:
- Updates the texture rendering engine to make it quicker, and to fix
a bug in the texture generator that could crash Pagan Daybook.
- Adds resizable File Open windows. You can now make them as big as the
universe itself - if you have a larger-than-normal monitor - and
they'll stay that way between sessions. The File Open window in the
Personal Days editor is the one you're most likely to have
encountered.
- Updates the observance database.
- Addresses a number of user interface issues.
- Updates the validation logic to address some occasional hiccups that
could manifest themselves during updates. You'll notice that it now
displays an additional window after you complete the validation of
this update. Fear not - it's a one shot deal.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.

half the single-user registration cost - $14.99.

2. Graphic Workshop Professional 5 Revision 6 (Second Notification)
_______________________________________________________________________
Graphic Workshop Professional 5 has been updated. This release:
- Adds pin-able favorites. You can pin pictures from Graphic Workshop's
browser windows to your Favorites galleries - a colored push pin will
appear in the thumbnails of pinned pictures. Access your Favorites
galleries by selecting Favorites from the Graphic Workshop File menu.
Perhaps not surprisingly, there's an extensive discussion about the
new Favorites technology in the Reference document.
- Adds resizable File Open and Save As windows. You can now make them
as big as the universe itself - if you have a larger-than-normal
monitor - and they'll stay that way between sessions. The Save As
window in the View window is the one you're most likely to have
encountered.
Adjusting the size of one of the Save As windows within Graphic
Workshop itself will adjust the File Open and Save As windows in all
its ancillary applications, such as GWS Camera Screen Capture,
e-Paint UltraLight, Resource Extractor and so on.
Once you resize one of the File Open or Save As windows within
Graphic Workshop, its new size will be remembered between sessions.
- Fixes a number of problems with the Fractals and Textures engine,
some of which could crash Graphic Workshop. The others just created
really nasty textures.
- Updates the Web Gallery window to fix a bug in the JPG writer, remove
ART support - in that none of the current web browsers seem to like
it anymore either - and address a number of metrics issues.
- Fixes several issues in the Search function, and updates the tool
bar tips.
- Fixes a problem in Resource Extractor that could cause it to crash
or display weird pictures when it was confronted with unusual
Bitmap resource types.
- Fixes a number of cosmetic and user interface issues in GIF
Construction Set UltraLight.
- Updates the validation logic to address some occasional hiccups that
could manifest themselves during updates. You'll notice that it now
displays an additional window after you complete the validation of
this update. Fear not - it's a one shot deal.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.

3. For a REALLY, REALLY Limited Time, Bookware Registration with e-Books
_______________________________________________________________________
We've received a substantial number of requests of late to accept the
purchase of the e-book editions of Steven William Rimmer's novels
as bookware registrations for Pagan Daybook, The Ultimate Screen Clock,
Font Wrangler and Calendar Wizard.
We've also received several messages of regret from readers who missed
this offer the first few times it ran, several few months ago.
We've decided to give it another shot, and this time, the bookware
registration options include all of Steve's books.
Please see:
http://www.mindworkshop.com/ebookware.html
for the complete tale.
Be sure to read the entire page before you start clicking on stuff.
Note that this offer will turn to dust around the middle of next week,
after which it will likely be heard from no more.
