SVGGraph version 1.2 includes the 3D bar graph now that I've had a chance to tidy it up. There are a few modifications in other places too, but nothing to write home about.

JPEG Saver 3.4 is now available from the downloads area. In this version I've improved the cache reloading a bit more to cope with new/deleted folders, and I've also improved the support for screen dimming and put it onto the dialog. The dimming options are now on an extra dialog you can get to from the "Position/Resize" tab.

In other news, libpng has been updated to version 1.2.35 and I've also fixed a couple of bugs - shuffled modes were always coming up with the same sequence in the last version, which is now fixed.

I'm releasing SVGGraph version 1.1, which adds support for pie graphs and has some minor improvements to the output of the other types of graph. The next update will probably be a new version of JPEG Saver, if I can remember what it was I was going to do...

I'm releasing something new and different today - a PHP library for generating SVG graphs. The full details are on the SVGGraph page, and you can download it from the downloads section. It's a bit rough around the edges at the moment, but it is usable.

JPEG Saver 3.3 is available! This version has a few interesting changes, the most important being a big change to how the caching works. Now folders are checked for modifications when JPEG Saver starts up, and re-scanned for files if they have been modified. The cache is now not cleared when you configure unless you change the list of folders (or click the new button that clears the cache).

The second change is to the "Random" change mode - some people reported that it didn't seem random enough, so I've replaced my hacky random number function with Boost's Mersenne twister algorithm. If you still aren't happy with the way "Random" works, I'd suggest trying "Shuffled" instead.

The final change is to multi-monitor support - I've finally got around to displaying something on the non-primary monitors. Now they will show the previous image when new one is displayed on the primary.
