The newer version of Paint.NET has finally been released and for the fans of this excellent piece of software it has come not a moment too soon!   The newest release of this piece of software has fixed bugs that occurred during installation as well as some poor performance during installation depending on the options that were selected.   While I never experienced this when using the software, apparently some people had prolonged wait times of up to 20 minutes during an installation or removal process.
 
For those of you that are new to this program, Paint.NET is a rather interesting piece of software in the sense that it has become something that is used for something totally different from what it was originally intended for.   The authors of Paint.NET wanted it to be a standalone and free replacement for the paint program that comes with windows, but as different versions started to come out and reception to the program began to grow more favourable, the program creators eventually decided on making it into a full-featured program supporting layers, shading and a number of other drawing tools that are either not available in paint or alternatively are available in much more detail in Paint.NET.
