This is a small update that contains fixes for some bugs that were discovered in 5.1, as well as a new Fill option in the Image -> Canvas Size dialog. It also has workarounds for some bugs in Sentinel One (antivirus) that were causing crashes in the installer and hangs during app startup.

Change Log

Changes since 5.1:

• Added the ability to choose the fill color when expanding the image with Image->Canvas Size
  
• Fixed the ability to paste images with transparency from Firefox
  
• Fixed the ability to paste certain types of images with transparency from Microsoft Office applications
  
• Changed Edit->Cut and Edit->Crop to Selection to completely zero out pixels outside of the selected area, which could otherwise be a privacy issue.
  
• Fixed the inability to load an image with a bad ICC color profile. The color profile will now be ignored, and the image will be treated as if it had an sRGB color profile.
  
• Fixed the title bar text being drawn in the active text color when the window is not active when using Light or Blue themes
  
• Reverted the removal of the Settings checkbox that lets you disable over scroll
  
• Fixed a crash in the Levels adjustment UI due to a rounding error
  
• Fixed a race condition in resource loading that sometimes caused the zoom level in the status bar to display as “ScaleFactor.Percentage.Format”
  
• Fixed some graphical corruption, hang, or crash issues caused by Nahimic A-Volute malware
  
• Worked around a crash (“0xc000007b”) in the installer caused by Sentinel One antivirus.
  
• Worked around a hang at app startup if Sentinel One antivirus.
  
• Fixed many cases of screen blanking, rendering glitches, and crashes on systems with certain NVIDIA GeForce GPUs, and certain displays with support for overlays and/or VRR (FreeSync, GSYNC). This appears to be a bug in NVIDIA’s driver.
  
• Fixed effects calling Dispose() on the IServiceProvider when they shouldn’t have been. This affected plugins like CodeLab and Plugin Browser.
  
• Updated the bundled AVIF FileType to version 3.11.0.0 (thanks @null54!)

This is a quick follow-up to the previous build, fixing a few more small bugs and improving performance.

Change Log

Changes since 5.1 beta (build 9070):

• Fixed a few more cases where tool shortcuts and tooltips were not working after certain actions.
  
• Fixed: PNGs are now correctly saved with the “Software” tEXt metadata indicating they were created with Paint.NET.
  
• Improved performance in various parts of the rendering and effects engines: CPU usage has been reduced, which permits higher GPU utilization.

Changes since 5.1 beta (build 9066):

• Fixed: Copy/Paste has been hardened against short-term intermittent errors and should no longer show spurious error dialogs (e.g. ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED) except in legitimate cases.
  
• Fixed: Certain shortcut keys, especially for switching tools, will no longer stop functioning if a floating window (e.g., Tools) is hidden and then shown by clicking on the button at the top right of the main window.
  
• Fixed: Tooltips in the Tools window will no longer stop functioning if a floating window (e.g., Tools) is hidden and then shown by clicking on the button at the top right of the main window.
  
• Removed the “Scrolling past the edge of the image (over scroll)” checkbox from Settings. This was enabled by default, and now it is always enabled.
  
• Fixed: The installer was occasionally showing an error about an InvalidGraphConfigurationException on some systems
  
• Added a KnownColorSpace API for plugins so they can create IColorContexts and IDeviceColorContexts for the Display P3 and ProPhoto RGB color spaces

Changes since 5.1 beta (build 9064):

• Fixed: @BoltBait‘s TextFunFactory plugin was not working on Windows 10 due to the lack of support for IDWriteFontFace6 (despite what Microsoft’s documentation states)

This patch brings 2 new big things that deserve some text in front of the bullet points:

The first thing is a complete rework of how the Phasing Palette effect works. This is what one sees when applying Iron Curtain, Suppression, Frenzy, Shield, Radiation, and some other things to a unit. In the future, more effects will move into this behavior, which is currently rather static. The change was motivated by a bug that happened with voxel units, where their shadow popped through the unit once such an effect was applied. This is fixed, and the Phasing effect now phases the color of the unit from the remapped team colors, whereas in the past, it would directly remove the team colors and strip over its own colors (of the Phasing effect). This means players can still see the team colors when a unit is under such an effect, and the transition happens more naturally. This includes some changes to the engine, so crashes may happen where I did not test enough. Sorry, please report crashes so I can fix them.



New Features

• Phasing Palette effect now works completely differently. Phasing effects now phase out of the remapped team color into the effect for most units and effects.
  
• Voxel units now have more saturated colors to match the style of the old sprites.
  
• Voxel Turrets now have recoil.
  
• Helicopters no longer have an ammo pool and can fire indefinitely.
  
• Mammoth now has a new model. The old model did not really fit the GDI style.
  
• Longbow is now Eurocopter and gets a new voxel model.
  
• Black Hawk gets a new voxel model and is now Sea Hawk.
  
• Sea Hawk has an upgrade now for Bunker Buster missiles. This is to take out a single defense building fast and suit the role of recon and spec ops missions with the Sea Hawk.
  
• Hind gets a new voxel model.
  
• Chinook gets a new icon.

Balancing

• Most helicopters have infinite ammo now.
  
• Katyusha Launcher turns faster to make it more mobile.
  
• Venom Heavy Laser can now also shoot other aircraft (like other Venoms).
  
• Torpedos from helicopters are buffed.
  
• Chainneler Tank (Scrin) no longer throws chained rifts at allied units and gets a small damage buff.
  
• Force Shield now also applies to defense buildings, and the cooldown has been reduced (for normal and Nukular mode)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the shadow of the voxel unit shining through the unit after Flickering Palette effects were applied.
  
• Fixed the Blackhand Trooper icon.
  
• Fixed the Comanche icon in Commander Tree.
  
• Fixed the Venom icon in Commander Tree.
  
• Fixed the Cryo Blast palette bug.
  
• Fixed crashes for voxel vehicles that leave a husk after destruction.
  
• Fixed a bug that made Spec Ops infiltrate without any effect.
  
• Fixed a bug that applied poison to drivers of vehicles after being hit by an energy weapon.
