    Graphic Workshop Professional 10 Revision 10



Graphic Workshop Professional 11 has been updated. In this release:

  * *JPEG Security:* A potential security issue in Graphic Workshop's
    JPEG library interface has been identified and addressed.

  * *Oil Painting Filter:* A memory leak in the Oil Painting filter that
    tended to crash Graphic Workshop when large digital camera images
    were transformed into motel art therein has been fixed.

  * *FIT Format:* A bug in the FIT file reader that failed to free some
    system resources when FIT files were read has been stomped.

  * *Find in Browser:* The Find in Browser window can now be closed by
    clicking outside it.

  * *Thumbnail Pre-cache:* The Graphic Workshop thumbnail pre-cache
    logic attempts to guess which thumbnails you're going to screen over
    next, when Graphic Workshop first boots up, and load them before
    they're needed to allow for smoother scrolling. The logic that
    drives the pre-cache has been enhanced to make it more intuitive...
    or more likely to guess correctly.

    In addition, you can now adjust the delay time between pre-cached
    thumbnail fetches to fine-tune the pre-cache functionality to your
    computer. See the discussion of Thumbnail Pre-caching in the
    Reference document of Graphic Workshop's manual.

  * *Filter Thumbnails:* A resource issue that could crash Graphic
    Workshop's Filter window if its previous-iteration thumbnails were
    clicked on has been addressed.

  * *Average:*The Average filter in Graphic Workshop's Filters window
    hitherto could ignore the setting of its Wide Aperture option under
    some configurations of Windows. It now pays attention all the time.

  * *Filter Preview:* The Filter window preview was disposed to refusing
    to update correctly under some configurations of Windows. This has
    been nailed.

  * *Alpha Filters:* Some combinations of Filters in Graphic Workshop's
    Filter window could cause final graphics to be displayed entirely in
    shades of red and black if alpha transparency was involved. This has
    been fixed.

  * *e-Paint UltraLight:* The Filter interface for e-Paint UltraLight
    has been updated to address a number of crashes.

  * *Performance:* Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
    software developers never really stop meddling with.

  * *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.

    Text Effects #2, #3, #4 and #5 Plugins Revision 2
    (second notification)



The Text Effects #2, #3, #4 and #5 animation plugins for GIF 
Construction Set Professional 11 and PNG MNG Construction Set 11 have 
been updated. In this release:

  * *User Interface:* Updates plugin user interfaces to make them
    cleaner and more intuitive.

  * *Textures: *Fixes some intermittent crashes when the texture fill
    options were used under some configurations of Windows 10.

  * *Fountains:* Addresses a problem with the plugins accessing their
    fountain libraries under some builds of Windows, and updates the
    default fountain libraries with an expanded palette of entries.

  * *Code Review:* We've completed a line-by-line review of the
    underlying source code of the Text Effects plugins. This has
    resulted in a smaller, faster applications... and we dispatched a
    number of stealthy bugs, memory leaks and security issues.

  * *Performance:* Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
    software developers never really stop meddling with.

  * *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.

      Upgrades

If you have valid registration keys for the Text Effects plugins — no 
matter how old they are — they'll work in the latest versions. You will 
need version 11 of *GIF Construction Set Professional* or *PNG MNG 
Construction Set* to install them, however.

Should your installation of Construction Set Professional or PNG MNG 
Construction Set be older than version 11, we invite you to upgrade to 
the current releases for *half the single-user license price*.

    PNG MNG Construction Set 11 Revision 6
    (additional notification)



PNG MNG Construction Set 11 has been updated. In this release:

  * *WebP:* The WebP library has been updated to address a number of
    image quality issues and to enhance its security.

  * *JPEG Security: *The JPEG reader has been updated to the newest
    library release to address several potential vulnerabilities. This
    one's really essential.

    We'd like to urge all users of PNG MNG Construction Set to update to
    this release as quickly as possible.

  * *Plugins:* The plugin interface has been dissuaded of its propensity
    for crashing under some configurations of Windows.

  * *Export to WebP:* A bug in the Export to WebP window that could
    cause the background color in exported animations to be set
    incorrectly has been stomped.

  * *Background Color:* The Animated PNG background color logic has been
    updated. This both ensures that your background colors will be set
    correctly, and prevents the software from crashing on occasion,
    under some builds of Windows.

  * *Performance: *Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
    software developers never really stop meddling with.

  * *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.
