Paint.NET v3.08 Beta (Englisch und Deutsch)
für Windows XP SP2 / Server 2003 SP1 / Vista, benötigt Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0

This is mostly a service release that fixes some bugs, while also improving keyboard / accessibility cues for some dialogs.

Die Neuerungen in Version 3.08 Beta:
- Fixed: Pasting an image from Office 2003 applications now works (e.g. Excel 2003 graphs).
- Fixed: Some dialogs were not indicating which command button was the default. These buttons now have a highlight to indicate which one will be activated if the user presses Enter or Space.
- Fixed: Some minor keyboard navigation issues with task dialogs.
- Fixed: Performance issue with the File->Acquire submenu taking a long time to appear.
- Fixed: Window activation issue when the Print wizard was finished / closed.
- Fixed: Crash when there was 1 image open and the user pressed Ctrl+Q and then Ctrl+W.
- Fixed: Minor performance issue if the user had 1 modified image open and then canceled the "Save changes?" dialog.
- Fixed: Misbehaving filetype factory implementations (plugins) will no longer cause a crash.

Paint.NET v3.10 Beta (Englisch und Deutsch)
für Windows XP SP2 / Server 2003 SP1 / Vista, benötigt Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0

This release adds two new effects originally written by David Issel ("BoltBait"), support for the DDS filetype originally written by Dean Ashton, as well as many small bug fixes and some visual fit and finish.

Die Neuerungen in Version 3.10 Beta:
- Note: For the beta, the new features are only presented in English. The final release will have complete translations for the other supported languages.
- New: Soften Portrait effect, by David Issel
- New: Ink Sketch effect, by David Issel
- New: DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file format support, by Dean Ashton. Improved from the original source code by optimizing the DXT compression library ("Squish") to take advantage of multiple cores or processors.
- Improved: Visual fit-and-finish for the Layers window.
- Improved: Visual fit-and-finish for the close / 'X' button on image thumbnails.
- Changed: The keyboard shortcut key for the Color Picker is now 'k'. This makes it so that the toolbar option, "After click: Switch to previous tool", is not useless for those using the keyboard shortcuts.
- Fixed: Pressing Ctrl+[ no longer cancels out of drawing a line/curve, but instead decreases the brush size by 5 as expected.
- Fixed: Ctrl+clicking on the brush size +/- buttons now changes the brush size in increments of 5
- Fixed: Save Configuration dialog would "creep downward" from its last position every time it was opened again
- Fixed: TGA codec now saves the # of alpha bits to the image descriptor byte. This was causing some other applications to load TGA files saved with Paint.NET as solid black images.
- Fixed: Clicking the 'X' to close the Layer Properties dialog was not reverting changes made to the layer while the dialog was open.
- Fixed: Installation will not proceed unless Paint.NET is closed, and will also not allow Paint.NET to be opened until installation is completed. This helps to ensure a fully coherent and complete installation or update.
- Fixed: In Vista, it was possible to crash the Save As dialog by typing a filename that was too long.
- Fixed: In Vista, it was possible to crash the updater if you let the UAC prompt time-out.
- Fixed: It was possible to crash Paint.NET on some systems by clicking on a tool in the Tools window while the "Save As" dialog was open.

Paint.NET v3.10 Beta 2 (Englisch und Deutsch)
für Windows XP SP2 / Server 2003 SP1 / Vista, benötigt Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0

This release adds two new effects originally written by David Issel ("BoltBait"), support for the DDS filetype originally written by Dean Ashton, as well as many small bug fixes and some visual fit and finish.

- Fixed: Pressing F1 from the main window would launch the online help in two browser tabs
- Fixed: Adding a new layer now adds it above the currently active layer, instead of at the very top of the layer list
- Fixed: Merge Down now activates the merged layer instead of the one above it
- Fixed: Put the 'x' close button back in the Layer Properties window (managed to fix the bug w/o necessitation removal of the 'x')

Paint.NET v3.20 Release Candidate 1 (Englisch und Deutsch)
für Windows XP SP2 / Server 2003 SP1 / Vista, benötigt Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0

This release adds numerous enhancements and tweaks to the built-in effects, a re-organized Effects menu, a new and much easier system for effect plugin development, better error handling for plugins, and the ability to draw Fixed Ratio and Fixed Size selections with the Rectangle Select tool. It also includes the customary list of tweaks and fixes.

Changelog (seit Version 3.20 Beta 2):
- Note: New features will be displayed in English through the Alpha and Beta release(s). The final release will include full translations for the other supported languages.
- Fixed: If a floating tool window (Colors, History, Layers, Tools) was not docked/snapped, and the screen resolution was lowered or a Remote Desktop session was initiated, then the window would stay off screen and be "lost". It is now moved to keep it on-screen.
- Fixed: An issue for plugin developers where Effect`1.Render(3) was incorrectly throwing an exception when indirectly called through Effect.Render(6). This was preventing an updated version of the "Film Noir" plugin from working, even though its code was correct.
- Integrated updated translations for Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), and Chinese (Simplified). An updated German translation will be present in the final release..

Versteh grad nicht. Ich hab die Paint.Net Version 3.10 Final drauf. Steht unter Hilfe bei mir. Bei dir steht aber was von einem RC!?
Hast du dich vertippt, denn bei Changelog steht was von 3.20 Beta 2. Auch die angegebene Datei zum Runterladen läßt mich auf einen Tippfehler schließen.

[swissboy]

@lynx: Ich hatte lediglich die Versionsnummer im Titel (3.20 RC1) vergessen anzupassen, ist nun geschehen. Danke für den Hinweis.

Kein Ding, hat mich nur leicht verwirrt

Paint.NET v3.22 Beta (Englisch und Deutsch)
für Windows XP SP2 / Server 2003 SP1 / Vista, benötigt Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0

This release fixes a few minor bugs and adds a new, much-needed Reduce Noise effect.

Changelog (seit Version 3.20 Final):
- New: "Reduce Noise" effect.
- Changed: Ctrl+W will now close Paint.NET if zero images are open.
- Fixed: In Windows XP, when launching web content, sometimes Internet Explorer was used instead of the user's chosen default browser.
- Fixed: Unfocus was not handling alpha values properly.
- Fixed: Brightness / Contrast adjustment was only displaying its text in English.
- Fixed: The /auto parameter for the installer now correctly allows for an automated installation. This was inadvertantly broken in 3.20.
