Pinta, the open-source drawing/editing program modelled after Paint.NET, has hit version 0.4 today adding configurable docking pads, better file support and font preview when using the text tool.
I can’t offer too much insight into this latest version as, well, it doesn’t work for me. The addition of moveable and if-you-want floatable panes is undoubtedly a boon, allowing users to adapt Pinta to their work-flow rather than the other way round. I can also, thankfully, confirm that many of the visual bugs that mired the previous releases (such as oversized toolbar entries) are now totally fixed.
Download
