     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.
