Graphic Workshop Professional 15 Revision 4

Graphic Workshop Professional 15 has been updated.

In this release:

• Memory Leak: A resource memory issue that could cause Graphic Workshop to terminate unexpectedly has been addressed.
  
  
• Cloud Textures: The fractal cloud texture generator that appears in Graphic Workshop's Fractals and textures window, and in several ancillary applications, has been updated to address a buffer overrun that could crash the software calling it.
  
  
• Fractal Textures: The fractal texture generator that appears in Graphic Workshop's Fractals and textures window, and in several ancillary applications, has been updated to improve its aspect ratio management, such that non-square textures look more natural.
  
  
• Crop: The Crop Properties window now includes a History field, to remember and instantly recall your crop settings. Note that if you don't find this as helpful as we did, it can be disabled by unselecting Enable History Lists in Setup.
  
  
• Transform: A number of cosmetic user interface issues have been addressed in the Transform window.
  
  
• EXIF Editor: Pretty much the same cosmetic user interface issues have been addressed in the EXIF Editor window.
  
  
• File Tip Sizes: Graphic Workshop's file tips — the yellow windows that appear if you hover your mouse cursor over a thumbnail in one of Graphic Workshop's browser windows — now include the file dimensions and color depths for the graphics they pertain to. In the event that you're running Graphic Workshop on a slow or very busy computer and you find that this feature causes the file tip windows to appear with an unacceptable delay, you can disable this feature by unselecting Show File Tip Sizes in Setup.
  

Animations Plugins 15 Updated

The Animation Plugins for GIF Construction Set 15 and PNG MNG Construction Set 15 have been updated.

• Memory Leak: A resource memory issue that could cause the applications hosting these plugins to terminate unexpectedly has been addressed.
  
  
• Cloud Textures: A bug in the cloud texture generator that could crash the plugins has been stomped.
  
  
• Aspect Management: The aspect ratio management for the fractal texture generators has been improved... a lot.

Announcing Font Wrangler 15

Font Wrangler 15 has been released.

• JPEG Security: The Font Wrangler Turbo JPEG library has been updated to version 3.0.1 to address a security issue. We'd like to take this opportunity to urge all users of Font Wrangler to update to this release, 'coz the universe has a lot of really bad people in it.
  
  
• WebP: The Font Wrangler WebP library has been updated to version 1.3.2 to address a security issue.
  
  
• Speed:  A quicker and more efficient architecture to make the most of the latest releases of Windows.
  
  
• Themes: An issue in the theme interface common to most Alchemy Mindworks software that could leak resources and occasionally crash the applications in question has been mercilessly stomped.
  
  
• TTC Support: Font Wrangler now supports TTC — TrueType Collection — font files. You'll probably find a few of these in your Windows fonts folder. Among its TTC features, Font Wrangler can extract individual fonts from a TTC to conventional TTF files.
  
  
• Memory Leak: A resource memory issue that could cause Font Wrangler to terminate unexpectedly has been addressed.
  


• Performance: Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with.
  
  
• Documentation: Updates the documentation.
