        Animation Workshop 8 Revision 3


    Animation Workshop 8 has been updated. This release:

      * Updates the PNG functionality.

        Our ongoing review of the security of the various libraries used
        by Animation 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 Animation Workshop 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 rendering engine to deal with a number of object
        precedence issues.

      * Fixes several rendering bugs in the shape generator.

      * 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 Animation 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.

        Pagan Daybook 8 Revision 3 (second notification)


    Pagan Daybook 8 has been updated. This release:

      * Updates the PNG functionality.

        PNG and JPEG security, the next item in this section, can affect
        graphics used as theme backgrounds, tiles and Personal Days
        illustrations.

        Our ongoing review of the security of the various libraries used
        by e-Paint 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 Pagan Daybookto update to this
        release ASAP.

        Don't close this message 'til you've clicked on the appropriate
        button below.

      * Addresses several security issues in the JPEG library used by
        Pagan Daybook.

        It's our understanding that the previous version of the JPEG
        library used by Pagan Daybookcould have allowed a
        maliciously-crafted JPEG graphic to execute arbitrary code on a
        host computer.

        The world includes some really scary people.

        Pagan Daybook has been rebuilt using the latest - and wholly
        secure - JPEG functionality.

      * We've also updated the JPEG reader to be aware of the presence
        of EXIF metadata in the JPEG files it reads and adjust the
        orientation of the resulting pictures if they were taken with a
        camera held in something other than the traditional landscape
        position.

      * 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.

      * Updates the observance database.

      * Adds assistance buttons to the initial registration key windows.
        Click on the question marks if you discover yourself to be lost.

      * 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 Pagan Daybook. 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.

        Graphic Workshop Professional 8 Revision 8
        (additional notification)


    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.
