Changes in aint.NET v3.5 Alpha, build 3529:
* When zoomed in, the selection outline is again "pixelated", like it was in v3.36. This allows it to correctly outline the selected area. Compared to the old version, performance is much improved; this is because the amount of computation is proportional to the complexity of the selection instead of proportional to the area of the bounding rectangle surrounding it.
* The magic wand is no longer broken (oops).
* Fixed an important internal algorithm for correctness and improved its performance. The algorithm was the polygon scan-converter (GeometryList class), and its incorrectness may have been causing many other problems.
* Fixed some issues with the Text tool related to font fallback. This was preventing certain characters from showing up and was breaking international text.
* Reduced CPU usage of the font dropdown list.
* Fixed the "This program may not have installed correctly" warning sometimes showing up after installation on Windows 7.
This update fixes a few small bugs, and improves performance of the Flatten command.
- Improved performance of the Image->Flatten command by making it multithreaded.
- Fixed the File->Save As dialog not opening to the correct folder.
- Fixed a crash with certain plugins and their use of the File Open dialog.
- Fixed a very rare crash with the tool-bar's font list.
This update fixes a bug when saving 8-bit images, improves layer composition and Gaussian Blur performance, and is now updated to support the new .NET Framework 4.0 in some cases.
Fixed the bug where saving as 8-bit PNG/GIF/BMP wasn't always working, usually with larger images.
Improved the performance of the Gaussian Blur effect by 30-40%.
Improved the performance of all the layer blending modes by 15-30%.
Improved the performance of zooming with the mouse wheel on dual-core Intel Atom systems.
Updated to support .NET 4.0 if no other version of .NET is installed.
Reduced download size from 4.8MB down to 3.5MB.
Fixed a small error in the Chinese translation.
Please note that the system requirements have been updated. For Windows XP, you must now have Service Pack 3 (SP3) installed; SP2 is no longer supported. For Windows Vista, you must now have Service Pack 1 installed.
