Maul Publisher is an industrial strength desktop publisher capable of
creating virtually all of the printing seen on everyday household items.
You can use it to easily lay out newspapers, cards, books, labels, stamps,
posters, charts, forms, and even designs like building plans or furniture
arrangements.

New in this version
===================
This version adds features designed to make certain common DTP tasks much
simpler. The colour tuning dialog has been moved out of the bitmap handler,
and can now adjust the colours of any object in the document. This has been
extended with the ability to adjust groups of frames, such as used for
company logos. Further still, the colour adjustment has been modified to
make it possible to turn a colour logo into a grey tone version without
turning primary colours into white.

To simplify the creation of business cards, you can now add several to one
page, and drag them around until they snap to each other.

* Improved error logging messages are more readable.
* Fixed 'text object in a chain' deletion, undo and redo.
* Allows cut, copy paste and delete of lassoed sets of frames.
* Changed - Colour sliders from YUV (wrong) to HSB, and fixed the maths
involved.
* Fixed application freeze when editing some unicode characters.
* Fixed incorrect bitmap hand

ling - t

his may cause faulty display in
older docs with 24bpp bmps.
* New - Snap to frames. You can now set the frames to snap to each other
when dragging.
* New - Adjust colours of whole groups of frames, regardless of their
content.
* New - Adjust primary colours to equivalent grey tones.
