Rick Brewster Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 This is mostly a servicing release to make some small improvements and to fix a few important bugs. You can get it via the built-in updater by going to Help -> Check for Updates, or by going to the website: http://www.getpaint.net/ Enjoy! List of changes: * Improved: Effect rendering should be a little faster now.* Changed: Implemented some changes to the "Add Noise" effect that were suggested by a forum member.* Changed: The canvas background color is now always #c0c0c0.* Changed: The auto-updater should now correctly detect .NET 3.5 and newer, which will help to save bandwidth when Paint.NET v4.0 is released (it will require .NET 3.5).* Fixed: Paint.NET now works on a system that has the .NET 3.5 SP1 "Client Profile" installed.* Fixed: When zoomed in and the cursor is to the top-left of the image (negative coordinates), the ruler is now highlighted in the correct area. Fixed: The effect rendering system no longer sets the "Tag" property on the configuration dialog.* Fixed: Some incorrectly authored plugins would cause a crash when loading their support details (author, copyright, etc.).* Fixed: There was a bug in the color wheel for IndirectUI that caused it to show the wrong values at initialization.* Fixed: There was a performance problem for effects that used the IndirectUI color wheel control.* Fixed: In some rare cases, Paint.NET would crash while shutting down.* Fixed: When using the "Fixed Ratio" feature of the Rectangle Selection tool, it would crash if 0 was specified for both the width and height.

Zoey0637 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have read the system requirements for PdN and downloaded it ,but just noticed that it says 64 bit system for a requirement. Does it also run on a 32 bit system? I've used it several times ,but had to ask. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Wow, some effects render very fast now! I think even the Magic Wand is faster now...or is this selective perception? - My Gallery | My Deviant - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 It just has to do with the way IE does its caching, which also affects how Internet resources are accessed system-wide (except in Firefox).

Zagna Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 In the blog you mention the change was to have 75 renders per processor, not render for each vertical pixel line. So I wonder does this have any effect on the behaviour that the 8 core Opteron setup you showed some months ago? Less bouncy CPU utilization?

Matthew88M Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yep it's a lot quicker ... but my Feathering seems to have gone a bit strange Is it anything I've done ? Examples below: ps. sorry if this in the wrong place *** Oooops. Sorted now. I was fffffick and hadn't checked for plug in updates. BoltBait's and Ed Harvey's Effects are a great job. Well done to all you guys for a programme as great as this :wink: I am having the same problem but with all my mods and i love my mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'm also sorry in case I ask something which has been asked before - but I was gone on a school trip with my class and couldn't get online for a few days. I just updated up the new version... and now also want to update the plugins I installed earlier. My question now is: can i just download the plugin packages and install them as if I didn't have them already ... and then the new pack will overwrite the old one? Or do I have to be careful of anything or first delete the old plugins? Thanks in advance for your answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 My question now is: can i just download the plugin packages and install them as if I didn't have them already ... and then the new pack will overwrite the old one?Plugin authors are very considerate in that they try to create as a little work for us as possible. You'll be fine to install them as if new, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the plugin topic.
