Paint.NET 4.2.7


Changes in paint.net 4.2.7:

• Fixed a crash at startup (FileLoadException) due to 1) the stub for System.Runtime.dll not being updated, and 2) the rigid version binding policy that prevented the older version from working in its stead (which would’ve been fine in this case).

Paint.net 4.2.8

paint.net 4.2.8 - released on December 3rd, 2019
This small update fixes a few pressing bugs, particularly for touch and pen input.

• Fixed: Pinch-to-zoom was not working when using a touch screen (regression in 4.2.6)
  
• Fixed: Spacebar panning was not working when using a pen/stylus (regression in 4.2.6)
  
• Fixed: EXIF metadata with non-ASCII characters is now preserved correctly
  
• Fixed a crash that can happen when the Microsoft Store version of the app is closed for an update
  
• Added /repair command-line argument, which will run PdnRepair.exe. This makes it easy to use Start -> Run -> paintdotnet:/repair so you don't have to go fishing for the installation directory.

Paint.NET 4.2.9
 
paint.net 4.2.9 - released on January 31, 2020
This updates improves performance and significantly reduces memory usage, adds two new translations, and fixes a number of small issues.

• Reduced overall memory usage (commit size) by up to 1/3rd by eliminating the per-image scratch buffer
  
  
• Greatly improved performance when finishing actions of most tools by employing a shared cache between the render and commit code paths
  
  
• Reduced memory usage when working with many tools by consolidating homogenous tiles (those that are comprised of a single color value)
  
  
• Significantly improved performance of most history actions (commit, undo, redo) by switching from NTFS compression to multithreaded LZ4 compression for history files
  
  
• Significantly improved performance of undo/redo with very complex selections (e.g. from the Magic Wand tool)
  
  
• Improved performance of Image -> Flatten (also affects flattening when saving)
  
  
• Improved performance of the Invert Colors and Desaturate adjustments by disabling hardware acceleration for them (too much overhead in copying tiles to the GPU for such trivial rendering kernels)
  
  
• Improved performance when saving by moving thumbnail rendering for the File -> Open Recent menu to a background thread
  
  
• Reduced memory usage when printing, and removed a rare crash that was related to its use of the (now removed) scratch buffer
  
  
• Improved performance of effect rendering when a complex selection is active (improved caching)
  
  
• New: Added a "busy spinner" to the canvas when using the Magic Wand and Paint Bucket tools
  
  
• New translation: Hebrew (HE)
  
  
• New translation: Slovak (SK)
  
  
• Fixed a really goofy crash that required drawing with the paintbrush and, without letting go of the mouse button, moving the mouse into the toolbar and then using the mouse wheel to change the brush width
  
  
• Fixed a layout bug with the image list button
  
  
• Fixed an error that prevented saving some images as JPEGs if they had EXIF Interop metadata (PropertyNotFoundException)
  
  
• Fixed a crash when running on a CPU that supports AVX but with an OS that is configured to not support it (via bcdedit /set xsavedisable 1)
  
  
• Fixed a crash when pressing the spacebar after switching to a tool but before it has received any mouse input events
  
  
• Fixed a rare crash when opening the Levels adjustments with certain types of selections
  
  
• Fixed a crash when checking for updates with an expired alpha/beta build
  
  
• Fixed a crash (FileLoadException) when DLLs are not updated correctly by the updater
  
  
• Updated WebPFileType plugin to version 1.3.2 (thanks @null54!)
  
  
• Updated DDSFileTypePlus plugin to version 1.9.9. This adds support for X8B8G8R8 and R8G8B8 formats, and fixes a visual glitch when previewing cube maps in some formats. (thanks @null54!)

Paint.NET 4.2.10

Changes in paint.net 4.2.10 (February 13, 2020):

• Fixed: Installations that directly use the MSI (e.g. AD/GPO deployments) no longer need to run the repair process immediately after installation. Some important DLLs were not being updated because while their assembly version was different, their file version was unchanged, so Windows Installer incorrectly skipped over them.
  
• Fixed: Loading an image with an enormous photoshopocumentAncestors node in the XMP metadata will no longer hang the app
  
• Fixed a rare crash in the auto-updater UI related to font initialization
  
• Improved performance when clicking OK on an effect or adjustment dialog that has already completed part of its rendering

paint.NET 4.2.15 – Final

Changes in paint.net 4.2.15 (January 24, 2021):

• New: “Tolerance Alpha Mode” toggle button added to the toolbar for the Magic Wand, Paint Bucket, and Recolor tools. This permits switching the algorithm for color comparison between premultiplied (default) and straight. “Straight” will distinguish between transparent pixels with different color values, whereas premultiplied will see them as equivalent.
  
• New: Holding Ctrl while using the Color Picker tool will sample from the merged image (vs. just the current layer)
  
• New: The file name in the title bar will now have a prepended asterisk when it has unsaved changes
  
• Changed: The image close ‘X’ button can now be clicked for images that are not currently active
  
• Changed: In the Text tool, Ctrl+(Backspace, Delete, Arrow Keys) has been improved to work more like Microsoft Word. Thanks to @Bruce Bowyer-Smyth for the patch!
  
• Fixed: The Rectangle Select tool, when used to draw a constrained, fixed ratio, or fixed size selection, will now correctly clamp the rectangle to be within the canvas
  
• Fixed: Layers -> Move Layer Up/Down/Top/Bottom was not working for images with fewer than 3 layers
  
• Fixed: Edit -> Erase Selection will now fill with transparent black (#00000000) instead of transparent white (#00FFFFFF)
  
• Fixed: Custom Shapes will now be displayed in a consistently sorted order
  
• Fixed: “.pdnSave” ghost files should no longer linger when saving to the desktop. This was due to a bug in Windows and File Explorer.
  
• Fixed crashes due to DXGI/Direct3D “lost device” or “device removed” errors that can happen for various reasons (duck/undock, driver update, low memory, etc.)
  
• New: Plugins can now use the IArrayPoolService, a wrapper around .NET’s ArrayPool, to optimize their array allocations
  
• Updated bundled AVIF FileType Plus to v1.1.6.

Paint.NET 4.3  (New) Released:   https://www.getpaint.net/roadmap.html            Roadmap and Change Log

paint.net 4.3 - released on September 22, 2021
This version has been migrated from .NET Framework to .NET 5, includes major performance optimizations across the entire app, and adds native support for ARM64 devices such as the Microsoft Surface Pro X.

    New: The app has been migrated to .NET 5, and performance has been greatly improved as a result.
    New: ARM64 is now natively supported, which improves performance on devices such as the Surface Pro X.
    New: .NET no longer needs to be installed on the system because the app now uses self-contained deployment.
    New: Portable ZIPs are now available. Please note that portable installations do not currently update automatically.
    Improved performance of most effects and other compute-intensive tasks by about 20% on average, due to .NET 5's improved code generation (JIT).
    Improved startup performance for the Microsoft Store release. Previously, .NET Framework's NGEN was unavailable for Store apps, but now .NET 5 enables self-contained deployment along with ReadyToRun + crossgen, which serves the same purpose.
    Improved performance: Many areas of the app have been optimized to use SIMD (SSE2/3/4.1, AVX2) on x86/x64:
        Drawing on an image with a large number of layers is faster
        Drawing with the Gradient Tool's alpha mode is faster
        Drawing with the Recolor tool is faster
        Drawing with the Eraser or Clone Stamp tool is faster when using a color whose alpha value is less than 255
        Drawing with the Overwrite blend mode is faster
        Drawing with the Shapes tool is faster, due to improved compositing performance
        Drawing with a brush tool without antialiasing is faster
        Tile compression has lower overhead due to being optimized for SSE2 and AVX2
        Working with complex selections is faster
        Many other optimizations all throughout the application and rendering engine
    Improved performance of loading custom Shapes by ~16x on 2nd and subsequent app starts.
    Improved performance of the Magic Wand tool by a substantial amount.
    Improved performance of the Paint Bucket tool by a substantial amount.
    Improved performance of the Paint Bucket when changing the color or certain other toolbar settings by not recalculating the stencil buffer for the filled area. Changes should now be visible immediately.
    Improved performance of Polar Inversion by 3x, mostly as a corollary to fixing a bug that was causing hangs, and a little bit due to .NET 5.
    Improved performance on systems without HyperThreading by reserving 1 core for the UI. Performance is also improved on systems with it by utilizing more of the logical cores.
    Improved performance while installing or updating the app, due to no longer needing the "Optimizing performance for your system" stage (NGEN has been replaced with ReadyToRun via crossgen).
    Improved memory usage when custom shapes are installed so they don't litter the heap with hundreds of thousands of boxed value types (e.g. floats and points).
    Improved selection antialiasing quality by using a 4x4 super sampling filter instead of a 3x3 super sampling filter. The code has also been optimized to use SSSE3 on x86/x64.
    Improved: Effect and File Type plugins can now be organized into folders. The plugin loader will recursively search for DLLs up to 1 folder deep.
    Fixed a bug when saving with "Auto Detect" bit-depth which was causing fidelity loss on some images that already had 256 colors or less. This was reported here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/118401...h-palette/
    Fixed: There were some issues with zooming in/out using the keyboard, where the anchoring point was not calculated correctly, causing the canvas to drift in the wrong direction.
    Fixed the inability to use middle-mouse panning after using a selection tool and pressing delete before releasing the mouse button.
    Improved: Plugins are now loaded into isolated AssemblyLoadContexts, which improves stability and resiliency to various problems with versioning, loading dependencies, plugin bugs, and incorrect plugin installation.
    Fixed a crash when trying to draw a fixed-size rectangle selection that was larger than the image.
    Fixed a bug with the Tolerance slider where both 58% and 59% would be displayed as 58%, due to a rounding issue. The correct value was actually being used, it just wasn't being displayed correctly.
    Added a /disablePlugins command-line argument to aid in troubleshooting various issues with app startup and incorrect plugin installation.
    New: Additional directories can now be specified for plugin discovery, which (e.g.) enables the use of OneDrive for storing plugins. See here for more info: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/118583...ent=586013
        Note that this does not work with the portable version of the app, but you can install plugins next to the app so it isn't necessary.
    Updated the bundled AvifFileType plugin to v1.1.15.0, courtesy of @null54, which includes support for multi-layer AVIF files, and adds native support for ARM64. See the project's GitHub Releases page for more information.
    Updated the bundled DdsFileTypePlus plugin to v1.10.10.0, courtesy of @null54, which adds native support for ARM64. See the project's GitHub Releases page for more information.
    Updated the bundled WebPFileType plugin to v1.3.7.0, courtesy of @null54, which adds native support for ARM64. See the project's GitHub Releases page for more information.
    Changed: FileType.IsReflexive() is now deprecated via [Obsolete], and is no longer honored. However, the Save Configuration dialog will no longer try to generate previews for FileTypes that do not specify any file extensions for loading, which is what this method was being used for.
    Known Issue: Due to crashing, GPU accelerated effects (Gaussian Blur, Motion Blur, Radial Blur) on ARM64 will actually use the CPU for rendering.        https://www.getpaint.net/download.html        Download        4.3

Paint.NET 4.3.1 (New)  Released: https://www.getpaint.net/roadmap.html        Roadmap and Change Log

paint.net 4.3.1 - released on September 27, 2021
This is a hotfix for the recently released version 4.3 update.

    Fixed an issue with using Explorer's "Open With" menu on Windows 7, 8.1, and some editions of Windows 10
    Fixed image thumbnails in Explorer's Details View only having a generic document icon instead of the Paint.NET icon
    Fixed a spurious, harmless error in Settings → Plugin Errors
    Fixed a race condition that could cause a crash
    Fixed not being able to use Ctrl+C to copy text from the Setup Downloader, which is especially important for troubleshooting
https://www.getpaint.net/download.html        System Requirements

Operating System

    Windows 11
    or Windows 10 (version 1607 "Anniversary Update" or newer)
    or Windows 8.1
    or Windows 7 SP1 with Platform Update

Paint.NET runs on Microsoft .NET, which is included as part of the app. It does not need to be installed separately.

Paint.NET will automatically run in 64-bit mode if possible. You must have a 64-bit capable CPU and an x64 edition of Windows. 64-bit ARM is also natively supported, which improves performance on devices such as the Microsoft Surface Pro X.

Paint.NET uses your hard drive to store temporary files related to undo/redo history. Because of this, actual disk space requirements will depend on the actions you perform on an image, and on the size of the image.
