Paint.NET 3.5.1 from November 20, 2009Performance in many areas has been substantially improved, and overall memory usage has also been greatly reduced (especially when more than 1 image is open). The user interface has been refreshed with new icons, and visual styling has been enhanced for Aero Glass (Windows 7 / Vista only). Upgraded to use the latest .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, which has many built-in performance improvements. New effect: Blurs -> Surface Blur, by Ed Harvey New effect: Distort -> Dents, by Ed Harvey New effect: Distort -> Crystalize, by Ed Harvey The font manager for the Text Tool has been completely rewritten, resulting in increased performance and better reliability. On Windows 7, the quality of text is much better as a result of using DirectWrite (this also works on Windows Vista if you have installed DirectX 11). The built-in updater now has the ability to download updates in the background, and will wait until you exit Paint.NET to install them. In previous versions, the download happened in the foreground, and you had to wait for the entire process to complete before you could use Paint.NET again.. Now includes a Russian translation.

- Improved: Effect rendering should be a little faster now.
- Changed: Implemented some changes to the "Add Noise" effect that were suggested by a forum member.
- Changed: The canvas background color is now always #c0c0c0.

- Fixed: The effect rendering system no longer sets the "Tag" property on the configuration dialog.
- Fixed: Some incorrectly authored plugins would cause a crash when loading their support details (author, copyright, etc.).
- Fixed: There was a bug in the color wheel for IndirectUI that caused it to show the wrong values at initialization.
- Fixed: There was a performance problem for effects that used the IndirectUI color wheel control.
- Fixed: In some rare cases, Paint.NET would crash while shutting down.
- Fixed: When using the "Fixed Ratio" feature of the Rectangle Selection tool, it would crash if 0 was specified for both the width and height.
