Here's a new feature that's been at the top of the list for a long time. And a big handful of other, important fixes I'm releasing this here in the Preview Center for now, and am hoping to release a final/public build in about 2 weeks. New: The canvas may now be scrolled past the edge of the image (aka "overscroll") New: When holding the spacebar, you may scroll using the keyboard arrow keys (in addition to click-and-drag panning). Holding Ctrl will scroll at 10x the rate. Improved: The rate of auto-scrolling, which triggers when the mouse is at the canvas edge and a mouse button is being held down, has been improved and is based on time instead of frames Improved: Fixed Size selection drawing now defaults to 400x300 pixels instead of 4x3 inches Improved: Tooltips for Custom Shapes now include their file system location Improved: Edit->Invert Selection should perform much faster when used with unmodified selections from the Magic Wand tool Improved: When running within VMWare, "Hardware accelerated rendering" is disabled by default (Microsoft's WARP is faster than VMWare's D3D emulation) Fixed: Erratic brush/pencil drawing when running within VMWare (this is caused by a bug in Win32's GetMouseMovePointsEx API, and is not actually limited to VMWare) Fixed: Color Picker tool could crash if used at the bottom of the image, as reported at http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/109248-paintnet-crashes-when-color-picker-off-screen-update/ Fixed: There was a glitch in the Gradient tool's rendering when dx was equal to dy, as reported at http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/107380-gradient-bugs-in-direction-and-length/ Fixed: The Layers window would sometimes auto-scroll the active layer to the bottom when performing certain operations, as reported at http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/32527-layers-auto-scrolling-when-adding-or-duplicating/ Fixed some mouse cursor glitches when using panning using the spacebar Fixed many glitches and a few crashes in the image size dialogs (File->New, Image->Resize, Image->Canvas Size) Fixed a problem with inconsinstently skipped input when using the arrow keys to move tool handles, as reported at http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/108932-selected-area-moving-with-direction-keys-bug/ Fixed: Custom Shapes did not always have the correct bounding box, and would have weird behavior as a result Fixed: Line/Curve handles were unusable for up to 500ms after adjusting properties in the toolbar Fixed some crashes and soft hangs in the Save Configuration dialog Fixed a blemish at the top of the main window when Windows is set to 200% DPI Fixed: There were some precision bugs with IndirectUI sliders that would cause them to get "stuck" at certain values (mostly affects effect plugins) Improved: IndirectUI's Angle Chooser control now supports the DecimalPlaces property (for plugins) Improved: IndirectUI's Slider controls now support all-negative ranges (e.g. [-200, -20]) NOTE: This is not available via the built-in updater. You must download this ZIP and double-click the installer EXE inside. The installer is digitally signed and Windows' UAC dialog will display the publisher as dotPDN LLC.
