--- Comment #10 from C. Leu kle@bluewin.ch --- @Nikolay Sivov
Yes, most likely its better to focus on newer versions of Paint.NET. But that doesn't have to be a contradiction because some additions and fixes for newer builds could also help the older ones. And something is telling me that those "Direct2D" related Paint.NET 4.x problems must be resolved to get the newer 5.x versions working. ;-)
Whatever, I think it's still useful to have the choice to select also older Paint.NET variants. For example, Paint.NET 3.5.11, the last of the 3.x series, is finally running almost perfectly fine thanks to some recently added features in Wine Mono 9.1.0. (See bug 55513 for more details).
