1. GIF Construction Set Professional 7 Revision 3
_______________________________________________________________________
GIF Construction Set Professional 7 has been updated. This release:
- Adds an Adjust window - impose subtle or decidedly radical color
adjustments on your animations with a palette of sophisticated,
interactive image filters.
Users of Graphic Workshop Professional will recognize this feature -
it works pretty much the same way in GIF Construction Set
Professional, but it applies to entire animations.
- Fixes several minor cosmetic bugs in the Titles and Credits window.
- Changes the color quantization logic, this being the mind-numbingly
complex process by which optimum palettes are derived for animations
being assembled from true-color source images. This has resulted in
a noticeable speed improvement in functions such as Animation Wizard
and Combine.
- Addresses a potential security issue.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.

2. Calendar Wizard 7 Revision 3 (New This Weekend)
_______________________________________________________________________
Calendar Wizard 7 has been updated. This release:
- Addresses several memory leaks that crept into the previous release.
- Adjusts the Undo allocation strategy to allow for calendars with
really big pictures.
- Fixes a bug that causes the example calendar pages in the Set Page
window to show the wrong months under some builds of Windows.
From revision 2, released last week:
- Adds a feature to print dodecahedral calendars. Should that have
sounded like two Martians ordering lunch, a dodecahedron is a set
of twelve pentagons arranged to form a rough sphere. Print out a
dodecahedral calendar from Calendar Wizard, cut along the dotted
lines and fold and glue the results to form a three-dimensional
desk calendar.
See the discussion of Print Dodecahedral in the Calendar Wizard
Reference document for the whole tale.
This one's cool enough to shatter penguins.
- Addresses a number of issues that crept into the first release of
Calendar Wizard 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.
- Updates the graphic import functions.
- Addresses a number of user interface issues.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.
