Paint.NET v1.1 is now available!

Paint.NET v1.1 is now available!

The cool Paint.Net application has rev'ed to 1.1.

Free, with C# source, with a cool UI. What more could you want? :|

"Paint.NET v1.1 has been released-to-web (RTW)! It can be downloaded in 3 forms from the current Paint.NET page at: http://rbrewster.members.winisp.net/pdn.html. The 3 downloads are the normal installer (4.5mb msi), full installer (25mb that installs .NET 1.1 if necessary), and the source code (7mb zip, modified MIT license).

Paint.NET is meant to be a replacement for MS Paint and was written entirely in C#. It includes all the basic features that MS Paint includes as well as some of the advanced functionality only seen in expensive applications like Adobe Photoshop. It is also free and the complete source code is available.

Lots of credit go to Tom, Michael, and Craig who’re students at Washington State University that helped with the release and will be working on a version 2.0 release that should be available near Christmas.

Big new items for v1.1 include plugin support for filters (“Effects” in Paint.NET vernacular), some new effects and “Adjustments,” and a slew of performance optimizations and UI tweaks. There may be documentation released soon on how to implement an Effect. For now, either download the source code and dissect it, or look at the RotoZoomerSource.zip that is copied to the installation directory (usually "C:\Program Files\Paint.NET v1.1")."
