Rick Brewster Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 This update has a handful of small improvements and bugfixes, as well as improvements for plugin developers. Alongside this release, for plugin developers, the Paint.NET Plugin API Documentation site is now live. It is still a (major) work-in-progress, but it finally exists! This build is available via the built-in updater as long as you have opted-in to pre-release updates. From within Settings -> Updates, enable "Also check for pre-release (beta) versions of paint.net" and then click on the Check Now button. You can also use the links below to download an offline installer or portable ZIP. You can also download the installer here (for any supported CPU and OS). Offline installers, portable ZIPs, and deployable MSIs are available over on GitHub. Changes since 5.0.9: New: Edit -> Paste now supports base64-encoded images, which enables copying images from Microsoft Teams (thanks @null54 for the implementation!) Fixed: All mouse cursors will now honor the Windows setting for adjusting the mouse pointer size Fixed a rare crash when rapidly undoing multiple actions New: Plugins can now access the built-in JPEG and PNG FileTypes through two new methods on IFileTypesService Fixed: All of the custom Direct2D effects now have runtime metadata (DisplayName, Author, Category, Description), which is useful for a UI that lets the user browse them (e.g. node editor) New: Added convenience constructors to many Direct2D effects so that they can be used without declaring a new local variable Fixed the Environment property's runtime type when accessed from an EffectConfigForm (for BitmapEffects and GpuEffects with custom UIs) Fixed UIScaleFactor's methods for converting between DIPs and pixels Fixed ability to work with EffectConfigForms in the Visual Studio WinForms designer Updated the bundled AvifFileType to version 1.1.26 (thanks @null54!) Updated the bundled DdsFileTypePlus to version 1.12.4 (thanks @null54!) Updated the bundled WebPFileType to version 1.3.20, which now uses libwebp v1.3.2 (thanks @null54!) 3 1 The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null54 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 @Rick Brewster Your release notes missed the WebPFileType update to version 1.3.20. Plugin Pack | PSFilterPdn | Content Aware Fill | G'MIC | Paint Shop Pro Filetype | RAW Filetype | WebP Filetype The small increase in performance you get coding in C++ over C# is hardly enough to offset the headache of coding in the C++ language. ~BoltBait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
