Spread the love

Version 4.3.5 of Paint.NET has been released and due to problems two successors have quickly appeared. This drawing and image editing program bridges the gap between the Paint supplied with Windows and expensive but very extensive programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Photo Paint. Today, the program is also offered via the Windows Store offered, although a small fee is charged for that version. Version 4.3 includes the switch to .Net 6. This has greatly improved performance, but it also heralds the end of support for Windows 7 and 8, which will expire from version 4.4. Since version 4.3.4, the following improvements have been made:

Changes in version 4.3.7:

Changes in version 4.3.6:

  • Fixed a stack overflow in the box filter rendering kernel that could cause hangs or crashes when the zoom level was around 1/8th (12.5%) or 1/32nd (3.125%) for particular image sizes eg ((N x 2048) + 16 )). Reported here
