This upcoming release is adding JPEG XR support and fixing a handful of important bugs.

Changes:

• New: JPEG XR file type support
• Fixed: Holding Ctrl when dragging a selection with Move Selected Pixels will again leave a copy behind (but only with the mouse)
• Fixed: The mouse wheel may now be used to scroll the Palettes menu in the Colors window (thanks @AndrewDavid for the suggestion and @toe_head2001 for the fix!)
• Fixed crashes when saving DDS images
• Fixed VTF plugin compatibility; it was not working in 4.2 except for images that were an exact power-of-2 size on each dimension
• Fixed: .BMP files can be opened even if they’re not actually BMP images (they still need to be a valid WIC-supported file type such as PNG, JPEG, etc.)
• Fixed (stabilized) menu ordering of effect plugins that have duplicate names
• Fixed metadata handling that was preventing some images with EXIF tag 330 from being able to load
• Fixed metadata preservation for old images that pad EXIF string values with null terminators
• Fixed title bar text color when using certain custom accent colors in Windows 10
• Fixed very bad performance when opening large images with embedded rotation metadata
