| Paint.NET 5.1.6 (5.106 Mar 14, 2025 |
Fixed a memory leak when flattening an image and then undoing that change. Updated the bundled JpegXLFileType plugin to fix a crash on ARM64 (thanks @null54!). |
| Paint.NET 5.1.6 (5.105 Mar 13, 2025 |
New: JPEG XL (*.jxl) images are now supported by way of bundling @null54's JpegXLFileType plugin Fixed the Levels adjustment not honoring the active selection. Fixed some more mouse cursor issues when completing certain actions with certain tools. Fixed some keyboard shortcuts in the Adjustments menu not working reliably. Fixed most cases of tooltips blinking on/off when drawn near the bottom of the screen (thanks @toe_head2001!). Fixed some new high-DPI scaling issues in toolbar dropdowns. Improved quantization quality for Effects->Color-Quantize and when saving an image at 8-bit depth and below. This was done by merging octree node colors in linear gamma space. Fixed some incorrect background text color rendering in the status bar. Updated the bundled AvifFileType plugin to v3.12.1, which improves conversion from HDR images utilizing the Rec. 2020 PQ color space (thanks @null54!). Updated the bundled WebpFileType plugin to v1.5.0 (thanks @null54!). |

| Paint.NET 5.0.9 Aug 8, 2023 |
Fixed: When using Alt+Tab, the internal state of the Alt key could get 'stuck' when the Shapes or Line/Curve tool was active, causing the next shape or line/curve to be drawn from the center Fixed: Sliders were not responding to the mouse wheel (regression in 5.0.8) Fixed the DeviceEffect.Properties.Min/MaxInputCount properties, which were throwing an ArgumentException (for plugin authors) Fixed a rare crash at app exit due to a race condition in the auto-updater Fixed a rare crash when the system resumes from sleep mode, due to a race condition in DWM reporting whether composition is enabled Fixed a rare crash when using copy+paste due to .NET Runtime issue Updated the bundled DDSFileTypePlus plugin to v1.12.2.0, which fixes the inability to save on ARM64 systems Updated the bundled WebPFileType plugin to v1.3.19.0, which fixes the inability to save on ARM64 systems |
