Paint.NET 3.20 : version alpha disponible

Les premières versions préliminaires de Paint.NET 3.20 sont disponibles.

Cette nouvelle version apporte notamment une meilleure gestion des erreurs intervenant dans les plugins, leur plantage n'entrainant plus la fin d'execution de Paint.NET.
Autre ajout notable : l'ajout d'un mode "taille fixe" et "ratio fixe" à l'outil de sélection rectangulaire : pratique pour la sélection d'un visage pour une photo "d'identité", par exemple.

ChangeLog de la version Alpha 2 courante :

• 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: Paint.NET would crash if you clicked on the "start cap" or "end cap" buttons for the Line/Curve tool
• Fixed: Using Sepia would produce a result identical to Black & White, and would also mess up the undo history
• Changed: Tolerance slider control is now 25% wider as per request on the forum
• Changed: Improved the Magic Wand cursor
• Changed: Improved the Paint Bucket cursor
• Fixed: OnSetRenderInfo() was being called twice for effects that use the new property system
• Fixed: Soften Portrait allows "0" for the Softness value again
• Fixed: Tweaked some of the slider controls in some of the revamped effects
• Fixed: Compatibility with several plugins

ChangeLog de la version Alpha 1 :

New: Ability to do 'Fixed Size' and 'Fixed Ratio' selection drawing with the Rectangle Select tool

New: Added selection 'combine mode' (replace, add, subtract, xor) to the toolbar. This makes this feature much more discoverable.

New: Added magic wand / paint bucket 'flood mode' (contiguous, global) to the toolbar. This makes this feature much more discoverable.

New: Mandelbrot and Julia fractal render effects.

New: Implemented new property and UI systems that makes it much easier to develop effect plugins. Authors may now specify properties with default, min, and max values and the UI for this will be dynamically generated. (instead of the author having to spend hours writing WinForms code)

New: Better error handling for plugin effects. They will no longer crash Paint.NET, and will provide easier access to the diagnostic and support information.

New: If a plugin fails to load, then a "View Plugin Load Errors" item will be added to the File menu.

New: Added 'Coverage' property to the Add Noise effect.

New: Added 'Center' (offset) property to Radial Blur, Zoom Blur, Bulge, and Twist effects. This allows you to set the center of rendering, complete with an image underlay preview.

New: Added ability to do counter-clockwise rotation in the Twist effect. Also added ability to change the size of the twisted area in the Twist effect.

Changed: In Frosted Glass effect, the performance was highly optimized. Increased max radius to 200 (instead of 10), and added 'minimum scatter radius' and 'smoothness' properties.

Changed: Enhanced all built-in effects and adjustments (except for Layers, Curves, and Rotate/Zoom) to use the new effect UI system.

Changed: Reorganized Effects menu into categories: Artistic, Blurs, Distort, Noise, Photo, Render, Stylize.

Changed: Command link buttons now look better in Windows Vista.

Changed: Moved 'Median' from the Blurs menu to the Noise menu.

Changed: Rendering for the 'angle chooser' control is nicer now.

Fixed: Header label flickering in some parts of the UI.

Fixed: Some window activation issues with the Save Configuration Dialog if you switched to another program and back while it was open.

Fixed: Some buttons and checkboxes were not honoring the theme animations in Windows Vista.

New: Added text to installer to remind people that Paint.NET is free of charge, and if they paid for it (other than to donate), then they should ask for a refund (e.g. eBay swindlers).

Vous pouvez comme toujours obtenir cette version sur la page de téléchargement ou via la fonctionnalité de mise à jour intégrée de Paint.NET, si vous avez opter pour la participation aux tests des versions préliminaires.

Bon tests.

PS : pour les membres CodeS-SourceS, Paint.NET a naturellement sa fiche sur la logithèque (et ce n'est même pas moi qui l'ai crée et mise à jour ! ;-) )
