Rispettando la roadmap comunicata qualche tempo fa, da un paio di giorni è disponibile la Beta 1 della versione 3.0 di Paint.NET. Il Change Log è molto lungo:
- New effect: Clouds
- New menu command: Edit->Fill Selection (shortcut key: Backspace). This will fill any selected area with the primary color.
- New toolbar item / hotkey: The brush size may be manipulated with +/- buttons in the toolbar. Hotkeys for this are [ and ], and you may hold Ctrl to increment or decrement by 5.
- New translations: They are not complete yet, and in fact some have just been started. They are mostly in place right now in order to get the code correct: Chinese (Simplified), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portugese, and Spanish. You will have the ability to choose one of these languages during installation, and from the Help->Language menu, but the text will still be either mostly or completely English. Complete translations will be finished by February.
- Added left-handed shortcut keys for Cut (Shift+Del), Copy (Ctrl+Ins), Paste (Shift+Ins)
- Upper-left coordinate of selection is now displayed in the status bar
- When moving text with the Text tool, the anchor point coordinate is now displayed in the status bar
- Fixed: In high-DPI mode (120dpi), the color swatch would translate the mouse location to the wrong color palette entry
- Fixed: Alpha-channel handling for bicubic and super-sampling image resampling methods
- Fixed: Very slow download speeds for updates in Vista
- Fixed: In Vista, the updater would relaunch Paint.NET with the same administrator privileges that the installer executed in. Now it will relaunch Paint.NET with the pre-elevation user and privilege level. Note that this fix will not be apparent until the next update to Paint.NET.
- Fixed some layout and rendering issues with the floating tool windows in Vista
- Fixed a rendering issue with the font selection dropdown list
- Fixed a performance issue with the font selection dropdown list in Vista
- Right-clicking on a color in the palette will now set the secondary color
- Palette files now allow comments to be placed after color values
- Fixed: If Edit->Paste in to New Image was pasting a bitmap with transparency (from Paint.NET), it would have a white background instead of a transparent background.
- Fixed: Right-clicking on a .PDN file in Explorer and then selecting "Print" would not work if Paint.NET was already open
- Fixed over 10 user-reported crash bugs
- Fixed several out-of-memory crashes
- Fixes for many other miscellaneous, mostly minor, bugs
