Wenn das Ding doch endlich mal auch ein paar rudimentäre Vektor-Werkzeuge bekommen würde ... aber anscheinend haben das die Entwickler nicht vor

[SiLæncer]

Ja...sieht nicht wirklich danach aus ...aber wer weiss was die Zukunft dort noch bringt

What's new:

* Fixed some long-standing rendering issues with the Text tool, such as incorrectly clipped text.
* Significantly decreased memory usage of the Text tool.
* Increased performance of the Text tool, for both GDI and DirectWrite.
* Fixed the font list loading performance for DirectWrite/Win7. The font list is now correctly prefetched in the background when the Text tool is activated, instead of being loaded immediately.
* If the font list takes more than 1 second to load, a progress dialog will be shown to indicate what is happening.
* Fixed a few performance issues related to complicated selections when running effects.
* Renamed the "Utilities->Folders->System Fonts" menu item to just "Utilities->Manage Fonts...".

Changes since the last alpha:

* When zoomed in, the selection outline is again "pixelated", like it was in v3.36. This allows it to correctly outline the selected area. Compared to the old version, performance is much improved; this is because the amount of computation is proportional to the complexity of the selection instead of proportional to the area of the bounding rectangle surrounding it.
* The magic wand is no longer broken (oops).
* Fixed an important internal algorithm for correctness and improved its performance. The algorithm was the polygon scan-converter (GeometryList class), and its incorrectness may have been causing many other problems.
* Fixed some issues with the Text tool related to font fallback. This was preventing certain characters from showing up and was breaking international text.
* Reduced CPU usage of the font dropdown list.
* Fixed the "This program may not have installed correctly" warning sometimes showing up after installation on Windows 7.

Changes since version 3.36's release:

* Refreshed user interface with new icons and visual styling. For Windows 7 and Vista, it is enhanced for Aero and "glass".
* Now uses and requires .NET 3.5 SP1, which has many built-in performance improvements.
* New effect: Blurs -> Surface Blur, by Ed Harvey
* New effect: Distort -> Dents, by Ed Harvey
* New effect: Distort -> Crystalize, by Ed Harvey
* Effect dialog responsiveness has been greatly improved.

* Selection outline is no longer animated. Instead of "dancing ants", an antialiased and stippled "XOR" outline is drawn.
* Startup performance on most systems will be better by about 20%.
* Memory usage has been greatly reduced when more than one image is open.
* The font system for the Text tool has been completely rewritten, and problems with missing fonts and crashes should be a thing of the past.
* On Windows XP and Vista, the Text tool has improved text rendering quality (it uses GDI instead of GDI+).
* On Windows 7, the Text tool will use DirectWrite (instead of GDI) which gives even better performance and quality.
* The toolbar font list has improved usability, rendering quality, and significantly improved performance.
* The toolbar font list no longer requires an application restart to recognize newly installed fonts.
* When many fonts are installed, both memory usage and startup performance have been greatly improved.
* Installation prerequisites are now installed automatically, such as .NET Framework and Windows Installer.
* Updates can now be downloaded in the background, and installed automatically once you exit the application.
* General rendering quality has been improved when zoomed in.
* Added a "Utilities" menu. Updates, Languages, and Plugin Errors have been moved here.
* Added a "Manage Fonts" command to the Utilities menu.
* Clicking the middle mouse button on an image thumbnail will now close the image.
* Improved the Unfocus effect.
* The DirectDraw Surface (.DDS) file type now allows you to select the resampling algorithm for auto-generated mip-maps.
* A processor that supports SSE is now required (almost all CPUs purchased this decade satisfy this).
* Fixed an issue with Gaussian Blur and its treatment of alpha values.
* Fixed a crash with the "Units" selector in the toolbar.
* When zoomed in, it is now much easier to resize a very small selection.
* Now includes a Russian translation.

Changes/fixes since version 3.5 Beta 1:

* The menu bar was rendering incorrectly for certain themes (Windows 7 / Vista).
* Some items were not showing up in the 'Recent Items' jump list (Windows 7).
* Clicking on the canvas straight from the menu would cause the paintbrush to draw a long streak.
* Copy+Paste would sometimes miss a pixel edge on the right/bottom sides, when using Fixed Ratio / Fixed Size modes.
* Fixed a crash when moving pixels off-canvas, switching tools, then trying to move the pixels back onto the canvas.
* Fixed some messed up rendering for IndirectUI effect dialogs (Windows XP).
* Performance is improved when switching between images that have lots of layers.
* Aero 'snap' wasn't working when dragging part of the glassy area of the toolbar (Windows 7).
* Added a new menu item, Window -> Glass Dialog Buttons. You can use this to disable the "glass footers" for dialogs (Windows 7 / Vista).
* Glass Dialog Buttons are now disabled when font smoothing is disabled.
* If an e-mail program isn't installed, the error message for Help->Send Feedback is more informative.
* "Centimeters" was being truncated in the toolbar.
* The shape tools were not using pixel snapping.
* Layer names with ampersands were not showing up correctly.
* Updated the internal list of incompatible and unstable plugins, which are then blocked from loading.
* Fixed a crash with the Rectangle Select tool if "Fixed Size" mode was used and negative numbers were entered.
* Fixed an access violation due to a race condition in finalizing effect rendering versus un-write protecting the layer's pixels.
* Fixed an access violation in the renderer for the background transparency "checkers".
* Fixed a crash when you would resize a selection to 0-width and/or 0-height, then expand it.
* Fixed a crash due to an overflow that prevented very large images from working (64-bit only).
* Fixed a crash with scanning/printing.
* Fixed the status bar's progress bar showing up and doing nothing for codecs that don't report saving progress, such as JPEG.
* Fixed a major issue with the readability of the "update is available" dialog in any non-English language.
* Fixed a crash with the Zoom tool.
* Fixed some really weird scroll-flickering with the Text tool.

This update adds a new feature for Windows 7 users, and fixes many small issues that have been found since 3.5's release.

    * New: For Windows 7, added taskbar progress reporting for long running operations (effects, adjustments, Image->Resize, save, install)



# Made some corrections to the French translation
# Running setup with /auto will no longer launch Paint.NET when it's done
# Fixed an issue where Paste into New Image would refuse an image on the clipboard, even if regular Paste would take it
# Fixed a race condition with Edit->Paste and Image->Resize whereby it would take up 100% CPU and take between 1 minute to 1 hour to finish
# Fixed an issues with Copy/Paste where it would leave an extra line of transparent pixels on the left, top, right, and/or bottom edges
# Fixed lag with the paintbrush tool that was being seen on some systems
# Fixed some issues with the paintbrush and eraser tool being misaligned when zoomed in
# Fixed a crash that would happen at (seemingly) random times, such as after drawing with the paintbrush tool, on some systems
# Fixed a minor and obscure rendering glitch with the Move Selected Pixels tool
# Fixed an issue with glass over Remote Desktop or Windows 7 Virtual PC
# Fixed a minor glitch whereby the "Unsaved Changes" confirmation dialog could never finish rendering the image thumbnail if one of the Move tools was active

This release will patch up some feature disparities in the Text tool between GDI (XP) and DirectWrite (Win7/Vista). It will also improve overall performance, as well as the correctness and quality of the Move Selected Pixels tool, the Image->Resize function, and the Hue/Saturation adjustment.

Changes since v3.5.1:

* All font variants (Arial vs. Arial Narrow, etc.) are now available with the Text tool in Win7/Vista with DirectWrite.
* Bitmap font types (Courier, Terminal, Fixedsys) are now available with the Text tool in Win7/Vista.
* Fixed some bad kerning with the Text tool at small sizes when antialiasing was turned off, with Win7/Vista + DirectWrite.
* Bilinear and Bicubic resampling for Image->Resize have improved quality, correctness, and performance. Super Sampling also has some performance improvement.
* Improved the rendering quality for the Hue/Saturation adjustment, as originally discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=23593 . Also made a new icon for it.
* The Move Selected Pixels tool had many subtle (and not-so-subtle) rendering issues which are now fixed. These were readily apparent when rotating or flipping a selected area.
* Fixed: The Line/Curve tool was applying pixel snapping to the curve nodes, which caused lines to "bend" when using the Shift key to constrain the angle.
* Fixed some extraneous CPU usage related to unnecessary or redundant thumbnail updates.
* Fixed a few dialogs that looked wrong with Aero glass with Remote Desktop or Virtual PC.
* Fixed a nasty memory leak with Flatten followed by Undo.
* Fixed some issues related to effects that took awhile to cancel -- as it turns out, drag-and-drop was enabled at this time, which could easily lead to crashes. Now, a dialog box will be shown when an effect takes "too long" to finish or cancel.
* Some Win7 systems could not detect that .NET 3.5 SP1 was installed, even though it was. A fallback detection function has been added.
* For plugin authors, the Effect class now has a pollable IsCancelRequested property. This can be used to improve responsiveness for expensive OnSetRenderInfo() implementations, which are otherwise non-interruptible.
* For plugin authors, the Surface.FitSurface() method is now multithreaded.

This update resolves some feature disparities in the Text tool between GDI (XP) and DirectWrite (Win7/Vista). It also improves overall performance, as well as the correctness and quality of the Move Selected Pixels tool, the Image->Resize function, and the Hue/Saturation adjustment.

As usual there are two ways to get it:

      1. Download directly from the website, http://www.getpaint.net/ . There is no need to uninstall the old version; that will be taken care of automatically.
      2. Preferred: Use the built-in updater from within Paint.NET. You can go to Utilities->Check for Updates, or you can wait for the following update dialog to show up automatically within the next week or so:



Changes and fixes since v3.5.1:

      * All font face variants (e.g., Arial vs. Arial Narrow) are now available with the Text tool in Win7/Vista with DirectWrite.
      * Bitmap font types (e.g. Courier, Terminal, Fixedsys) are now available with the Text tool in Win7/Vista.
      * Fixed some bad text kerning with the Text tool at small font sizes when antialiasing was turned off.
      * For the Image->Resize function, the quality, correctness, and performance of Bilinear and Bicubic sampling modes have been improved. Super Sampling also has some performance improvement.

It's a fairly light set of fixes this time around:

* Fixed a mismatched file name issue with the File->Save dialog in Win7/Vista, as originally reported at viewtopic.php?f=10&t=33477 . This issue is still present on XP but cannot be fixed.
* Fixed DirectDraw Surface (.DDS) file format support for CPUs which do not have SSE2 (Pentium III, Athlon XP).
* Fixed some crashes which were actually supposed to be "out of memory" error dialogs (without a crash!).
* Fixed a race condition with the New Image, Resize, and Canvas Size dialogs. If you typed very very fast you could get it to crash by typing a negative value and immediately pressing OK or Enter..
* Removed splash screen.
