    I GOT THE DOMAIN! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!1 🥳🎉 Paint​.NET is now at paint.net! Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint​.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.

    I just pushed a new alpha build for Paint​.NET 5.2! This is the build that adds support for CICP metadata and HDR->SDR tone mapping when opening HDR images of a supported type (AVIF, HEIC, JPEG XL, JPEG XR, PNG)

    The first public alpha of Paint​.NET v5.2 is now available! Lots of performance and quality-of-life improvements, and some major infrastructure upgrades that are laying the groundwork for v6.0. Enjoy! 😊

    BTW there is a (currently small) effort to get PDN working on WINE. I don't have the time (etc.) to contribute directly but I am actively responding to questions and providing any insights I think are useful. Maybe some other folks out there are interested in helping out?

    No but there are some folks attempting to get it working on WINE, and I've been providing help in the way of clarifying information and answers github.com/bluesillybeard…
