You can get it either from the website, http://www.getpaint.net, or from within Paint.NET itself via the auto-updater. Note: Make sure you have “Also check for beta releases” enabled. You can access this option by going to Help -> Check for Updates, and then clicking on the “Options” button.

The number of fixes in this release is very small, and that’s a good indicator that we’re almost ready for the final release. I’m hoping to have that out by Friday, in fact.

Please be sure to report any compatibility problems with plugins.

Changes:

• 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.
