Paint.NET 3.5.2 Beta
*WinXP/Vista/7*

Changelog:

* 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.

Paint.NET 3.5.3 Beta, Build 3685
*WinXP/Vista/7*

Changelog:

* 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.
