Graphic Workshop Professional 8 Revision 8
(new this weekend)
Graphic Workshop Professional 8 has been updated. This release:
* Fixes a bug in the shiny new PNG reader. Well this is
embarrassing...
The new PNG functionality in Graphic Workshop was creating
graphics with erroneous color depths when it was asked to read
alpha-channel PNG files in some circumstances, which could then
not be written to other formats. A "too many colors" error was
returned. This release fixes the problem.
* Adds audible alerts to several additional functions around
Graphic Workshop, most notably Save in View mode.
* Suppresses the creation of thumbnails when saving to the Windows
clipboard.
* Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
* Updates the documentation.

Upgrades
If you have previously registered or upgraded to Graphic Workshop
Professional 7, you can upgrade to Graphic Workshop Professional 8
for half the cost of a new single-user license.

The Ultimate Screen Clock 8 Revision 4
The Ultimate Screen Clock 8 has been updated. This release:
* Adds the Copilot clock styles, a minimalist leading-edge
Euro-tech chronograph from a secret research facility with no
name, rated for velocities best measured as a fraction of the
speed of light. Your mileage may vary. It comes in four colors,
two sizes and all the available degrees of cool.
* Updates the PNG and JPEG functionality.
The Ultimate Screen Clock's graphic libraries have been updated
to close several security holes. This will primarily be an issue
for users who obtain clock styles as PNG graphics from sources
other than Alchemy Mindworks... which we're told is a thing is
some quarters.
* Refines several performance issues in the clock rendering
engine. One day it shall be flawless, but then the universe will
end...
* Nails a bug in the time difference logic that underlies the Days
Until, Days Since and Days Between windows, and addresses
potential errors of one day in their calculations, albeit only
for fairly lengthy periods of time in certain weird
permutations. They're bugs... they deserve to die.
* Adds audible alerts for the conclusions of several functions
throughout the application.
* 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. 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 The Ultimate Screen Clock.
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.
* Adds assistance buttons to the initial registration key windows.
Click on the question marks if you discover yourself to be lost.
* Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
* Updates the documentation.

Farewell American Express (and Discover)
<https://www.mindworkshop.com/orderform.html>Due to the increasing
costs of processing credit card transactions — and if we're being
honest, because almost none of our customers seem to want to use
them — we've discontinued accepting American Express and Discover
credit cards at the Alchemy Mindworks e-commerce page and at our
toll-free order desk.
We'll continue to welcome Visa and Mastercard... likely until about
a week after the sun goes nova.
We sincerely hope this won't be a problem for any of the users of
our products. In the event that you feel that we have fallen in with
unclean spirits and or hastened the demise of civilized society,
we'd welcome your feedback. Please click on the huge blue button below:

New Download Server
We've moved one of our software download servers to Great Britain —
the fabled land of quick Internet and insanely low bandwidth costs —
to assist users in Europe who have experienced issues downloading
our stuff in the past.
We also recommend the new server to anyone in the colonies who's
encountered problem with downloading from our primary US server.
To access the UK server, click on the last of the DOWNLOAD buttons
at our software pages — this will be DOWNLOAD 2 or DOWNLOAD 3,
depending on where you are.
The installers at our UK server are identical to the ones at our
primary download links, and they're all updated simultaneously.
The UK server is at _alchemy-mindworks.net_ , and it's shockingly
fast. Note that it only serves software installers — pointing your
web browser to this address will see it redirected to our primary
web page.
We'll be grateful for any feedback regarding your experiences with
the new server. Please click on the huge blue button below:
