Graphic Workshop Professional 10
Revision 8
(additional notification)
|
Graphic Workshop
Professional 10 has been updated. Among its new and
updated features are:
- Graphic
Libraries: The libraries that open and save
graphic files for Graphic Workshop's ancillary
applications, such as Camera, e-Paint UltraLight,
GIF Construction Set UltraLight, have been reviewed,
line by line, until several programmers begged for a
few days of differential calculus instead. They're
now substantially more secure, and as such more
resistant to malformed graphic files that have been
crafted to install malware on your computer. They're
also quicker and have smaller memory footprints.
We urge all
users of Graphic Workshop to
update to the current release and nail these
vulnerabilities before they nail you.
- Ancillary
Application Security: In our
continuing determination to ensure that Graphic
Workshop presents no
opportunities for cybercretins to exploit, we've
done a line-by-line review of its source code of
all its ancillary applications, such as Camera,
e-Paint UltraLight, GIF Construction Set
UltraLight, to find any potential
buffer overruns. Several turned up. Now they're
history.
- JPE
Association: Adds a link to the list of
associated file types to support JPE files, an
alternate extension for JPG.
- Textures and
Fractals: Adds the
Threads
texture, a wildly ebullient procedural fractal
that simulates complex surfaces as sequences of
random twisted lines. You really need to see this
puppy at work to truly appreciate how
alternate-universe it can get.
The example animation shown here, comprised of
several example Threads textures, represents but a
fraction of its capabilities.
- Animated
GIF: Addresses a number of performance and
security issues in the animated GIF reader. It
also fixes the status bar graph, so it behaves
itself when an animated GIF document reads.
- e-Paint
Tool Box: Addresses a cosmetic bug in the
e-Paint UltraLight tool box window, under some
configurations of Windows.
- Crop menu: Updates the Setup window to
include an option to enable and disable the
right-click menu in the Crop window.
- Performance:
Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues
that software developers never really stop
meddling with.
- Documentation:
Updates the documentation.

animations, prepare to experience the state of the art.
PNG MNG Construction Set 10 has been updated. Among its
new and enhanced features are:
- Graphic
Libraries: The libraries that open and save
graphic files for PNG MNG Construction Set have

with.

Updates the documentation.
