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.

10 yet, you might want to review a more extensive list

functionality and enhancements.

Pagan Daybook 10 Revision 2
|
Pagan Daybook 10 has been updated. Among its new and
enhanced features are:
- Application
Security: In our continuing determination to
ensure that Pagan Daybook presents
no opportunities for cybercretins to exploit, 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.
- Graphic
Libraries: The libraries that open graphic
files for Pagan Daybook 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 Pagan Daybook to update to
the current release and nail these vulnerabilities
before they nail you.
- Further
Application Security: Addresses a
particularly stealthy and pernicious memory issue
which afflicts the internal configuration logic
and
the themes used by Pagan
Daybook.
Left to its own devices, this one could crash the
application and potentially compromise your
Windows security.
- Screen
Saver: Addresses an issue in Pagan
Daybook's
screen saver which could cause it to display some
textured backgrounds with incomplete tiling under
some configurations of Windows.
This update also adds a number of new background
textures for Pagan Daybook's
screen saver.
- Observance
Database: Updates the observance database,
addresses a few typos. The gods favor decent
spelling... probably.
- Performance:
Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues
that software developers never really stop meddling
with.
- Documentation:
Updates the documentation.

PNG MNG Construction Set 10 Revision 5
|
If you build or
maintain web pages and you're still using GIF
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
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 PNG MNG Construction Set to update to the
current release and nail these vulnerabilities
before they nail you.
- Animation
Workshop: The file selection panes of
Animation Workshop now reference the Windows
thumbnail cache to build their thumbnail graphics.
Animation Workshop's user interface is way quicker.
- Plugins:
Nails a potential memory leak in the plugin
interface.
- Photostack:
Addresses a problem that could cause image chunks to
appear at incorrect locations when a Photostack
animation was created under some configurations of
Windows.
- Performance:
Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues
that software developers never really stop meddling
with.
- Documentation:
Updates the documentation.

The Great Winemaking Tax Revolt
Updated
|
If you feel like
you're buying a round for the government every time you
raise a
glass of wine, it might be time to consider making your
own.
Steven William Rimmer's lucid, approachable overview of
home brewing has been revised and updated. Referencing
the state of the art in winemaking, The Great
Winemaking Tax Revolt will guide you through
successfully making your own wine even if all your
earlier experience in the craft involved pouring
commercial moonshine from a cardboard box with a duck on
the front.
It will also help you save a very large pile of taxes
while you're drinking the health of your friends and
family.
