Paint.NET 5.1.1 - released on December 4th, 2024

This is a small update that contains fixes for some bugs and 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.

• 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 titlebar 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 overscroll
  
• 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!)
