Graphic Workshop Professional 10 Revision 7
(second notification)



Graphic Workshop Professional 10 has been updated. Among its new and updated features are:

  • Application Security: In our continuing determination to ensure that Graphic Workshop presents no opportunities for cybercretins to exploit it, we've done a line-by-line review of its source code to find any potential buffer overruns. Several turned up. Now they're history.

    We urge all Graphic Workshop users to update to the current release and nail this     vulnerability before it nails you.

  • Thumbnail Pre-cache: Adds a per-browser option to enable thumbnail pre-caching only when a browser is top-most.

    Thumbnail pre-caching speeds up Graphic Workshop's browsers considerably, but it can have a substantial memory footprint for browsers looking at a lot of graphics. This refinement allows you to have it automatically enabled only for the browser you're working with at the moment.

    Right-click in a browser, select Thumbnails and select Pre-cache Thumbnails When Active to fire up this option.

  • Textures and Fractals: Adds Scratch textures to the Graphic Workshop Textures and Fractals window. Wild, unleashed and as chaotic as you want to be, Scratch suggests bad urban art applied with cheap spray paint, a dystopian landscape viewed from space by an aging reconnaissance satellite or a really badly-behaved cat.

    The example animation to your right, comprised of several variations on one Scratch texture, represents but a fraction of its capabilities.
  • View Mode Shortcuts: Hold down Ctrl in Graphic Workshop's View mode and click on the Info button in its tool bar to quickly open the Crop window.

    The View mode tool bar's button tips have been expanded to include their alternate functions enabled holding down the Shift and Ctrl keys. If you'd like to learn all their secrets, hover your mouse over each button for a moment.

  • Animated PNG: Addresses an issue in the transparency management of the animated PNG viewer.

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

  • Documentation: Updates the documentation.

If you haven't installed Graphic Workshop Professional 10 yet, you might want to review a more extensive list of its new functionality and enhancements.

PNG MNG Construction Set 10 Revision 3
(new this weekend)


PNG MNG Construction Set 10 has been updated. Among its new and enhanced features are:
  • Update: A number of minor issues that crept into the previous release — which was pretty much a complete rewrite of the application — have been addressed. We'd like to urge all users pf PNG MNG Construction Set to update, lest you be driven mad by these things.

    Our understanding is that few if any health insurers are prepared to accept claims of madness caused by software.
  • Animated PNG: Several minor compatibility issues in the animated PNG support have been stomped.

  • WebP Transparency: Nails a problem that prevent WebP animations with transparent elements from displaying correctly under some builds of Windows.

  • Image Editors: The animation format image editor windows have been hardened to manage image size changes wrought by their respective Paint buttons correctly.
  • Performance: Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with.
         
  • Documentation: Updates the documentation.

If you missed the previous update for PNG MNG Construction Set 10, we invite you to check out its new and enhanced functionality — it totally rocks.
