Rick Brewster Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 As usual, there are two ways to get it: 1. Direct download from the website, http://www.getpaint.net/ . There is no need to uninstall your old version; that will be taken care of automatically. 2. Use the built-in auto-updater. You can either wait a few days for the update to be offered to you, or you can go to the Utilities menu and then click on Check for Updates. What's new since v3.5.4: Fixed the bug where saving as 8-bit PNG/GIF/BMP wasn't always working, usually with larger images. Improved the performance of the Gaussian Blur effect by 30-40%. Improved the performance of all the layer blending modes by 15-30%. Improved the performance of zooming with the mouse wheel on dual-core Intel Atom systems. Updated to support .NET 4.0 if no other version of .NET is installed. Reduced download size from 4.8MB down to 3.5MB. Fixed a small error in the Chinese translation. Please note that Service Pack 3 (SP3) is now required for Windows XP users. Also, Service Pack 1 (SP1) is now required for Windows Vista users. If you do not have these installed, then the Paint.NET installer will open the appropriate download page on Microsoft's site.

Bungle Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Main page still shows the 3.5.4 release date (25th Feb) btw! Is there a way to make PDN use .NET framework v4 rather than 3.5 SP1 if both are installed (when deploying via MSI/GP)?
Leif Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Main page still shows the 3.5.4 release date (25th Feb) Not for me. You are most likely looking at an old page your computer has in its own memory. Try to refresh by pressing F5 My DA: http://leif-j.deviantart.com/ -------------- Some people seek justice so persistent, that they will do great injustice themselves.
Rick Brewster Posted April 26, 2010 Author Posted April 26, 2010 I just fixed it about 10 seconds ago Thanks Bungle. Is there a way to make PDN use .NET framework v4 rather than 3.5 SP1 if both are installed (when deploying via MSI/GP)? Not in any automatic way. You probably don't want to do this.

Bungle Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Not for me. You are most likely looking at an old page your computer has in its own memory. Try to refresh by pressing F5 Given that the 3.5.4 release was no longer showing, I knew it wasn't a cache Rick sorted now anyway so all good! Not in any automatic way. You probably don't want to do this. I'll trust that you say we're best not doing that then!

Sozo Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Try right clicking on Paint.NET and running as admin. I wonder why it does that? Paint.NET shouldn't require elevation to run. I wonder if there was an install error? Edited April 26, 2010 by CommanderSozo
csm725 Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 The bug that was posted above by 'an evil guy' only happens to me when I run PdN as an admin. My deviantART | Sig Battles | My Tutorials | csm725.com Click to enter or vote in the official Paint.NET competitions! COMPETITIONS: LOGO OF THE WEEK

Goonfella Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 I don`t get the error mentioned earlier . I am also on 64bit Win7 Home Premium. Updated beautifully. Thanks Rick. Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN
Rick Brewster Posted April 26, 2010 Author Posted April 26, 2010 I always run PdN as admin so I can save anywhere I want. Uhh ... why? Do you really need to save to C:\Windows and C:\Program Files?

guspaz Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Gah, looks like I'm stuck on 3.5.4 forever; I'm running XP SP2 and can't upgrade (IT policy). I noticed this when using paint.net today and the autoupdater blew up with a version error. Is there a particular reason why SP3 is now required? None of the items in the changelog scream "SP3 needed".

guspaz Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Presumably some libraries were removed... Is it possible to get a copy of the installer that doesn't have those libraries removed? Killing support for everyone running SP2 doesn't seem worth it to save 1.3MB.
