Paint.NET 3.10 Beta

# Note: For the beta, the new features are only presented in English. The final release will have complete translations for the other supported languages.
# New: Soften Portrait effect, by David Issel
# New: Ink Sketch effect, by David Issel
# New: DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file format support, by Dean Ashton. Improved from the original source code by optimizing the DXT compression library ("Squish") to take advantage of multiple cores or processors.
# Improved: Visual fit-and-finish for the Layers window.
# Improved: Visual fit-and-finish for the close / 'X' button on image thumbnails.
# Improved: Small (about 5-10%) performance improvements for some effects such as Oil Painting, Frosted Glass, and Gaussian Blur
# Changed: The keyboard shortcut key for the Color Picker is now 'k'. This makes it so that the toolbar option, "After click: Switch to previous tool", is not useless for those using the keyboard shortcuts.
# Fixed: Pressing Ctrl+[ no longer cancels out of drawing a line/curve, but instead decreases the brush size by 5 as expected.
# Fixed: Ctrl+clicking on the brush size +/- buttons now changes the brush size in increments of 5
# Fixed: Save Configuration dialog would "creep downward" from its last position every time it was opened again
# Fixed: TGA codec now saves the # of alpha bits to the image descriptor byte. This was causing some other applications to load TGA files saved with Paint.NET as solid black images.
# Fixed: Clicking the 'X' to close the Layer Properties dialog was not reverting changes made to the layer while the dialog was open.
# Fixed: Installation will not proceed unless Paint.NET is closed, and will also not allow Paint.NET to be opened until installation is completed. This helps to ensure a fully coherent and complete installation or update.
# Fixed: In Vista, it was possible to crash the Save As dialog by typing a filename that was too long.
# Fixed: In Vista, it was possible to crash the updater if you let the UAC prompt time-out.
# Fixed: It was possible to crash Paint.NET on some systems by clicking on a tool in the Tools window while the "Save As" dialog was open.
