Fixed a crash when zooming due to missing pixel shader support on DX9 class GPUs

Whats new:>>

Improved: Massive startup performance improvement when lots of effect plugins are installed
Fixed a crash that would happen when closing an image, exiting the app, or sometimes just at random. This was happening due to a bug in Direct2D where ID2D1EffectContext does not honor the multithreaded initialization flag from its ID2D1Factory, and was thus corrupting its own internal data structures when released on the finalizer thread.
Fixed: DirectX 9 GPUs can now utilize hardware acceleration again (in 4.1.3 they were forced to use software rendering)
Fixed: The Black & White and Invert Colors adjustments no longer display an OK/Cancel dialog

Changelog

Improved: Image -> Rotate should now complete almost instantly (thanks @Bruce Bowyer-Smyth!)
Improved: Optimized a portion of the rendering engine for newer CPU instruction sets (SSE2, SSSE3, AVX2). Depending on zoom level, CPU type, and other factors, rendering throughput has been improved by 10-50%.
Improved: Some performance optimizations for code that uses the indexers on the Surface class, which should improve effect plugin performance (thanks @Bruce Bowyer-Smyth!)
Fixed: Shortcut keys for the Adjustments menu weren't working until after you opened the menu for the first time
Fixed: Canvas checkerboard, used to indicate transparent regions of the image, now scales with DPI

Changelog

Improved: The newly updated app icons should now look a lot better at 120 DPI (125% scaling) and 144 DPI (150% scaling)
New: Layers -> Rotate 180 (thanks @null54!)
New: Move Layer commands are now present in the Layers menu, not just on the Layers window
New: Plugins can now use the UIScaleFactor class, which makes it easy to make decisions about DPI and scaling
Changed: Settings -> Plugin Errors now shows up even if there are no plugin errors. This ensures consistency, especially with the newly asynchronous nature of plugin loading (otherwise there’s no way to distinguish "no errors" from "not done loading plugins").
Changed: File -> Open Recent now has up to 10 images (up from 8 )
Fixed: Items in the File -> Open Recent menu will no longer get bigger or smaller when moving between monitors with different DPIs
Fixed: "Bad" plugins can no longer ruin the undo system by rendering outside of the selection (thanks @BoltBait for helping out with this!)
Improved: When many images are open, Paint.NET now closes significantly faster (thanks @Bruce Bowyer-Smyth for the fix!)
Improved: Image thumbnail list at the top of the main window now reacts to horizontal mouse wheel or trackpad swiping
Improved: The Text Tool’s "Font Size Metric" button now has a tooltip explaining it
Fixed a crash when running GPU effects (e.g. Black & White) on very large, very tall images (this was actually fixed in the alpha build 7000)

Changelog

Changes since beta build 7010:

    Fixed the random crash when running most an effect with a selection (reported by lots of folks!)
    Fixed the crash when changing the "Translucent Windows" setting if you have certain plugins installed (reported by @AndrewDavid)
    Fixed the annoying tooltips in the statusbar (reported by @BoltBait) — I’ll get back to these after the migration to .NET Core 3 is completed, as this is a bug in WinForms. For now, tooltips are just disabled in the status bar, which is the same behavior as 4.1.5 and earlier.
    Fixed the blank B/I/U/abc buttons when using the Blue theme (reported by @Rob.van.Grieken)

    New: FileType plugins can now specify separate lists of extensions for loading and saving
    Changed: Holding Ctrl when starting to move a selection with the Move Selected Pixels tool will no longer leave behind a copy of the selected area

www.getpaint.net/

[SiLæncer]

Changelog

    New: Support for loading HEIF/HEIC images (Windows 10 v1809+ required). Saving is not yet supported.
    New: Keyboard shortcuts for changing the current layer. You can see these in the Layers menu with the "Go to ..." commands. Alt+PgUp/PgDown will go to the layer above/below, and Ctrl+Alt+PgUp/PgDown will go to the top/bottom layer.
    New: PNGs can now be saved as "interlaced"
    New: Plugins that use IndirectUI can now use a UriProperty with a LinkLabel control (thanks @null54!)
    New: Effect plugins can now more easily make use of the clipboard via the IClipboardService. It will handle all of the tricky clipboard issues such as threading, native data marshaling, and avoiding security vulnerabilities that exist in the standard WinForms and WPF clipboard APIs.
    New: FileType plugins can now specify separate lists of extensions for loading and saving
    Changed: Image->Resize supports Super Sampling again, and favors this over Fant when using Best Quality. Fant is still available, but is no longer chosen automatically.
    Changed: Holding Ctrl when starting to move a selection with the Move Selected Pixels tool will no longer leave behind a copy of the selected area
    Improved: When using Edit->Copy, a 32-bit BGRA bitmap in the DIBV5 format is now placed onto the clipboard so that other apps can read the alpha channel.
    Improved: When using Edit->Paste, DIBV5's are now supported if they have an alpha channel. If they don't, then the regular DIB loader is used which has some heuristics for detecting an incorrectly defined alpha channel and correcting for it.
    Improved: When using Edit->Paste, PNG is now the highest priority format. This maximizes the ability to maintain alpha/transparency, but it does mean that images coming from Microsoft Office apps will appear larger than they used to. This is either a bug or a feature of Microsoft Office. For some reason it places PNGs on the clipboard that are 25%+ larger than the DIB/DIBV5 bitmap that it also places on the clipboard (but which don't have alpha/transparency).
    Improved: BMP now supports saving in 32-bit (with alpha!) and 8-bit indexed.
    Improved: PNG and JPEG now supports loading and saving of much larger images.
    Improved: JPEG now has configuration for subsampling mode (4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0). The default is now 4:2:2 instead of the (unconfigurable) 4:2:0 of older versions.
    Improved: TIFF now supports saving at 24- and 8-bit color depths.
    Improved: TGA images now load about 4x faster (thanks @null54!)
    Improved: Added error reporting to the Save Configuration dialog. Instead of just saying "Preview: (error)", you'll also get the standard error dialog that includes the exception which can used for troubleshooting.
    Improved CPU usage for thumbnail updates (layers and image tabs) in many cases.
    Improved performance of saving for file types where "Auto" bit-depth is supported but not the current choice.
    Improved temporary memory usage when saving images at 8-bit color depth.
    Improved: Slightly increased the size of the Settings dialog to reduce the need for scrolling in a few important situations
    Fixed: AltGr should now work correctly with the Text tool. It will not trigger shortcuts like File -> Save All, or Edit -> Paste into New Image. (thanks @Bruce Bowyer-Smyth for the fix!)
    Fixed: Mouse cursors now scale appropriately for non-integer UI scales (e.g. 125% or 175%)
    Fixed a number of performance issues in the Save Configuration dialog. Especially with large images, it should now be much faster to change options and to click OK/Cancel.
    Fixed flickering in Save Configuration dialog when changing options.
    Fixed: Optimized rendering engine to remove huge lag spikes (30+ seconds) when zooming or panning very large images (e.g. 32K x 32K pixels).
    Fixed: 8-bit TGA images should now load correctly (thanks @null54 for the fix!)
    Fixed: Some 32-bit TGA images were showing up as completely transparent due to their use of an obscure alpha channel type (thanks @null54 for the fix!)
    Fixed: Simple message boxes can now be closed with the ESC key
    Fixed: Some TIFFs could not be resaved as a JPEG due to having too much metadata (usually from Adobe Photoshop). The metadata is now discarded if necessary.
    Fixed: Magic Wand now works on very large images (e.g. 65535 x 65535 pixels) without an error.
    Fixed: DIBV5 bitmaps should now work with Edit->Paste, which improves alpha channel handling. (thanks @null54 for the fix!)
    Fixed: Top-down DIBs should now work correctly with Edit->Paste. (thanks @null54 for the fix!)
    Blocked the WebP FileType v1.1.0.0 plugin due to instability. An update is already available.
    Blocked the ImAgif FileType v0.12.0.1084 plugin due to incompatibility. An update will hopefully soon be available.

Changelog

    New: Embedded color profiles are now applied when loading images of supported file types (JPEG, PNG, HEIC, etc.). This is a one-time conversion to the sRGB color space that results in the color profile being discarded once it has been applied.
    Fixed: The HEIC file type's Quality slider is now limited to a maximum value of 90 while Microsoft fixes a heap corruption crash in the codec.
    Fixed: The DIB and RLE extensions will now be registered for APPX (Store) installations
    Fixed: Bicubic resampling in the Move Selected Pixels tool was not correctly handling alpha in some cases. This fix has required a reduction in performance.
    Fixed: Explorer thumbnails for some image types (PDN, DDS, TGA) were not rendering their alpha correctly. You may not see the effect of this fix for a particular image until that image is resaved, or you clear Explorer's thumbnail cache.

Changelog

This is a big update that focus on adding HEIC file format support, fixing performance with very large images, and upgrading and modernizing the functionality of many existing file types (JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, and TIFF). Many other quality of life issues have also been addressed or fixed.

    New: Support for loading and saving HEIC images (Windows 10 v1809+ and codec installation is required). Please note that the "Quality" slider when saving is limited to a value of 90 (out of 100) while Microsoft investigates and fixes a crash in their codec.
    New: Keyboard shortcuts for changing the current layer. You can see these in the Layers menu with the "Go to ..." commands. Alt+PgUp/PgDown will go to the layer above/below, and Ctrl+Alt+PgUp/PgDown will go to the top/bottom layer.
    Fixed: Optimized rendering engine to remove huge lag spikes (30+ seconds) when zooming or panning very large images (e.g. 32K x 32K pixels).
    Improved: BMP now supports saving in 32-bit (with alpha!) and 8-bit indexed.
    Improved: Added DIB and RLE file extensions to the BMP file type.
    Improved: PNG, JPEG, and TIFF now support loading and saving of much larger images.
    New: PNGs can now be saved as "interlaced".
    Improved: JPEG now has configuration for the chroma subsampling mode (4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0). The default is now 4:2:2 instead of the unconfigurable 4:2:0 of older versions. This may result in larger file sizes, but higher quality, as compared to previous versions.
    Improved: TIFF now supports saving at 24-bit and 8-bit color depths.
    Improved performance of saving for file types where "Auto" bit-depth is supported but is not the current choice.
    Improved temporary memory usage when saving images at 8-bit color depth.
    Improved: TGA images now load about 4x faster (thanks @null54!)

    Fixed very bad performance when opening large images with embedded rotation metadata
    Fixed various crashes, such as when using File->New or Image->Resize, that sometimes happened if the previous update needed a reboot but either 1) it didn’t tell you that, or 2) it did but you didn’t reboot
    Fixed the problem that was causing the need for the aforementioned reboot in the first place (string resources file was locked by the thumbnail provider shell extension)

    New: DirectDraw Surface (*.dds) support has been greatly improved due to bundling @null54's DDSFileTypePlus plugin. All DX10/DX11 formats should now be supported (e.g. BC4, BC5, BC6H, BC7), and encoding (saving) will make use of the GPU to greatly improve performance. Note that it's not longer necessary to use the ".dds2" file extension.

    Fixed: EXIF metadata of type Float and Double are now supported. This ensures GeoTIFF metadata is preserved.
    Fixed: Opening an image should no longer flicker because the transparency checkerboard was being drawn first
    Fixed: TGA images that are 16-bit with 1-bit alpha with a zero'd out alpha channel are now treated as opaque. This allows images from 5CC Map Maker (for Close Combat modding) to work. Thanks @null54 for the fix!
    Fixed: JPEG XR's file extensions (*.jxr, *.wdp, *.wmp) are now registered with Explorer
