GIF Construction Set Professional 8 Revision 5
GIF Construction Set Professional 8 has been updated. This release:
* Updates the PNG functionality.
Our ongoing review of the security of the various libraries used
by GIF Construction Set revealed that its PNG reader and writer
could have been subject to several serious vulnerabilities,
including CVE-2016-3751, CVE-2015-8540 and CVE-2015-8472. These
issues could potentially allow a maliciously-crafted PNG graphic
to execute arbitrary code on the computer opening it.
We'd like to urge all users of GIF Construction Set to update to
this release ASAP.
Don't close this message 'til you've clicked on the appropriate
button below.
* Updates the PNG reader to correctly support all the weird-beard
PNG format variations... and there are a lot of them.
* Updates the Credits window in Help → About. While every bit as
exciting as watching bricks sleep, the Credits window includes
information which is helpful in resolving support issues for
Graphic Workshop. The updated window is both easier to read and
find things in, and it has allowed us to add more information to
assist us in addressing user questions.
* Updates UpToDate, which installs with Graphic Workshop. The new
UpToDate features an expanded Alert window with larger, more
easily-read type and a user-configurable font, just in case
you'd like it larger still. It will also display
content-specific graphics.
* Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
* Updates the documentation.

Set Professional 7, you can upgrade to GIF Construction Set
Professional 8 for half the cost of a new single-user license.

Graphic Workshop Professional 8 Revision 7
(second notification)
Graphic Workshop Professional 8 has been updated. This release:
* Updates the PNG functionality.
Our ongoing review of the security of the various libraries used
by Graphic Workshop revealed that its PNG reader and writer
could have been subject to several serious vulnerabilities,
including CVE-2016-3751, CVE-2015-8540 and CVE-2015-8472. These
issues could potentially allow a maliciously-crafted PNG graphic
to execute arbitrary code on the computer opening it.
We'd like to urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to
this release ASAP.
Don't close this message 'til you've clicked on the appropriate
button below.
* Updates the PNG libraries accessed by Graphic Workshop's
ancillary applications, such as e-Paint UltraLight and Montage,
to address these vulnerabilities as well.
* Updates the PNG reader to correctly support all the weird-beard
PNG format variations... and there are a lot of them.
* Fixes several issues in the Crop window that prevented it from
correctly displaying graphics with alpha-channel transparency.
* Adds audible success confirmation to a number of otherwise
silent functions of Graphic Workshop, such as saving a file from
the View window and copying objects to the clipboard from the
right-click browser menu.
* Adds a quick zoom menu to the View window. Hold down the Shift
key on your keyboard and click on the Zoom In button in the tool
bar. Note that the behavior of this button has changed - it
previously returned to 100-perceent zoom if it was clicked with
the Shift key down. The Zoom Out button still returns to
100-percent zoom with the Shift key.
* Updates the Credits window in Help → About. While every bit as
exciting as watching bricks sleep, the Credits window includes
information which is helpful in resolving support issues for
Graphic Workshop. The updated window is both easier to read and
find things in, and it has allowed us to add more information to

* Updates UpToDate, which installs with Graphic Workshop. The new
UpToDate features an expanded Alert window with larger, more

UpToDate has been Updated
(second notification)
You have to admire the symmetry of the title for this section.
The Alchemy Mindworks UpToDate notification agent has been updated.
Its new features include:
* A larger Alert window to make notifications easier to read.
* Larger type in the aforementioned larger Alert window, and
you're free to choose any font, font size and typographic
effects you like for alert text in UpToDate's Setup window.
* Content-specific graphics.
The new UpToDate will be installed the next time you install an
updated Alchemy Mindworks application, beginning with Graphic
Workshop Professional 8, elsewhere in this posting.
