pdnnoob Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Paint.net has been stuck on this version because Rick has been working on version 4.0 There are tons of changes (I think he said he pretty much rewrote the code), so it's been a while. If I'm interpreting my info correctly, 4.0 is almost ready for a public alpha stage. There's just a few glaring bugs that need to be worked out. 1 Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

Rick Brewster Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yes, paint.net is still alive. 4.0 has just been a LOT of work. What pdnnoob said is accurate. You can see info about 4.0 on the blog: http://blog.getpaint.net/ Quote 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...

DarkShock Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) I've been gone for a while, but still using Paint.NET I'm sure Rick's work will be well worth the wait. PdN 4.0 will be awesome.

AltIvan Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Just registered to say thank you for this awesome project called Paint.Net and there is no rush to release a next version; and also to mention that would you ever want to stop the project it would a shame but it would be your call and we would respect it, we still would be thankful for its existence and by extension all the years you have invested developing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarman1024 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 A full featured image editor is a big project for a single developer.Could it be an idea to get Rick some help to get the new version finished?One way of doing that is to make Paint.net open source under one of the open source licenses.

BoltBait Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 One way of doing that is to make Paint.net open source under one of the open source licenses. Not going to happen.

ZoLatKam Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Even when Rick must bid Paint.NET adieu, I will still continue using it as long as I can get it to work on whatever PC I use! I absolutely love the program b/c it has the power to do some really amazing things, while at the same time being really easy to use, all without the ridiculous price tag of other similar programs. And lest we forget the power to customize! I think this idea alone is probably the best one put into Paint.NET: It can be as simple or as complex as you'd like, all by simply downloading a few files & pasting them into a folder (or not!) Essentially, there are not enough nice things I can say about Paint.NET, nor the illustrious creator, Rick. Thank you, sir, for all of your hard work & dedication to this work of art!
