PhotoCraft and PdfCraft documentation; published versions unchanged

As of 03:14 Beijing time on October 23, this check found no newer published release among the thirteen Crafting Apps, Launcher and the separate AI studio. We read the official homepage, Apps directory, thirteen product pages, News index, release assets and selected important documentation. PhotoCraft’s JPEG documentation change reached the official main branch at 00:53:33 Beijing time, and PdfCraft’s documentation PR merged at 01:28:41. Both belong to this October 23 brief. Correction: the PhotoCraft note was initially placed in the October 22 brief using its earlier internal commit time; the verified PR merge time supersedes that attribution. News still lists January 30 as its latest article. Selected Reddit originals were readable, but the new-post listing was stale. X returned 403, YouTube channel access was throttled and the direct Google search page was inaccessible; indexed searches did not establish a new relevant post or video. This is a partial early-morning check, not a conclusion about the rest of the day.

PhotoCraft · Documentation update

PhotoCraft development docs mark JPEG Options as partial

The development documentation now explicitly lists Matte, progressive scan selection and the file-size preview as missing from JPEG Options. This is a correction to the documented scope, not a new installer release or an independent compatibility test.

What it means for you: The documentation change reached the official main branch when PR 8577 merged at October 23 00:53:33 Beijing time (October 22 16:53:33 UTC). The earlier internal commit timestamp is not used as its main-branch publication time. PhotoCraft’s latest published release remains 0.12.0; do not infer a newer installer.

PdfCraft · Documentation update

PdfCraft development docs clarify hidden-information removal

A development README clarification describes hidden-information removal across catalog-reachable objects that own metadata, associated files or additional actions. It also says incompletely readable page content must cause refusal rather than partial cleaning. This describes development documentation, not a new 0.11.0 installer or a security audit.

What it means for you: Do not assume the latest published package contains later main-branch changes. Keep an established validation process for confidential documents. The official documentation PR merged at October 23 01:28:41 Beijing time (October 22 17:28:41 UTC).
