This update improves legacy plugin compatibility and fixes an issue with the Effects and Adjustments menus.

Also, the legacy plugin cache has been disabled for now due to a security concern. You can enable it by setting the following registry key to "true": HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ paint.net \ "Plugins/EnablePatchedAssemblyCache". This is only necessary if you feel like the app starts way too slow, and you have several legacy plugins installed.

To get this update, make sure you have "Also check for pre-release (beta) versions" enabled in Settings, and then click on the Check Now button. (Unfortunately alpha/beta releases are not currently available for the Microsoft Store version of the app).
