1. Graphic Workshop Professional 7 Revision 2 (New This Week)
_______________________________________________________________________
Graphic Workshop Professional 7 has been updated. This release:
- Addresses a number of issues that crept into the first release of
Graphic Workshop Professional 7... as software is wont to do.
- Modifies the registration logic to work around Windows 10's recent
updates, which have been randomly de-registering software when they
sneak silently onto your computer. The sudden appearance of the "this
key is already registered" message should be a distant memory.
- Updates UpToDate.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.
We'd like to urge all the users of Graphic Workshop Professional 7 to
download and install this update... doubly so if you're running
Windows 10.
You can Graphic Workshop Professional 7 from:
http://www.mindworkshop.com/gwspro.html#download

2. Announcing Animation Workshop 7
_______________________________________________________________________
Animation Workshop 7 has been released.
We've refined the internal architecture of Animation Workshop to make
it faster, more memory-efficient and better able to take advantage of
the functionality of Windows 7, 8 and 10.
While most of the seriously cool changes embodied in Animation
Workshop 7 are "under the hood," users of the latest release will
notice that it's noticeably quicker, especially for functions that call
for significant system resources, such as assembling complex animations.
The updated architecture will also allow us to add new features to
Animation Workshop that were impractical or genuinely
impossible under version 6.
- Improves the rendering engine to resolve a number of inconsistencies
that affected ho concurrent or overlaid objects were visualized.
- Addresses a number of issues with the Favorites window.
- Modifies the registration logic to work around Windows 10's recent
updates, which have been randomly de-registering software when they
sneak silently onto your computer. The sudden appearance of the "this
key is already registered" message should be a distant memory.
- Improves the timing accuracy of the View window.
- Updates lots of user-interface issues throughout the application.
- Improves the general sneakiness of GIF Supercompressor.
- Animation Workshop Professional 7 uses an altered installation
structure that's way more resistant to being broken by
malfunctioning and overly-paranoid third-party security software.
We're reasonably certain that the "Can't create specified file"
error is history.
- Updates UpToDate.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.
You can download Animation Workshop 7 from:
http://www.mindworkshop.com/animwork.html#download

3. Announcing PNG MNG Construction Set 7 (Second Notification)
_______________________________________________________________________
PNG MNG Construction Set 7 has been released.
We've refined the internal architecture of PNG MNG Construction Set to
make it faster, more memory-efficient and better able to take advantage
of the functionality of Windows 7, 8 and 10.
While most of the seriously cool changes embodied in PNG MNG
Construction Set 7 are "under the hood," users of the latest release
will notice that it's noticeably quicker, especially for functions that
call for significant system resources, such as assembling complex
animations.
The updated architecture will also allow us to add new features to
PNG MNG Construction Set that were impractical or genuinely
impossible under version 6.
- Adds Titles and Credits. Equip your animations and digital video with
professional movie titles and credits. Easy to use, quick to build and
requiring no detectable knowledge of what a "key grip" actually does,
the Titles and Credits window will turn your animations into movies
with a few mouse clicks. You'll find it in the Chunk menu.
- Modifies the registration logic to work around Windows 10's recent
updates, which have been randomly de-registering software when they
sneak silently onto your computer. The sudden appearance of the "this
key is already registered" message should be a distant memory.
We'll be grateful for any feedback users of PNG MNG Construction Set
can offer us about this issue - we plan to roll it out to the other
version seven software starting next week.
- Improves the plugin interface, which will allow plugins to load
in less time and operate faster.
- Fixes a number of minor issues in the plugins themselves.
- Applies numerous minor updates and fixes to Animation Wizard.
- Improves the timing accuracy of the View window.
- Updates lots of user-interface issues throughout the application.
- Improves the general sneakiness of Supercompressor.
- PNG MNG Construction Set Professional 7 uses an altered installation
structure that's way more resistant to being broken by
malfunctioning and overly-paranoid third-party security software.
We're reasonably certain that the "Can't create specified file"
error is history.
- Updates UpToDate.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.

valid. You'll just need to download the version 7 installers for your

IMPORTANT: If you have plugins installed under GIF Construction Set 6 or
PNG MNG Construction Set 6 and you plan to uninstall GIF Construction
Set 6 or PNG MNG Construction Set 6 to replace them with the new
version 7 software, please be sure uninstall all your version 6 plugins,
and then uninstall GIF Construction Set 6 and PNG MNG Construction Set 6.
