Latest version

Multipaint 2019.13 Noted that UNDO picked from menu could result in two steps instead of one.

Multipaint 2019.11 attempts to fix an MSX bug relating to background color. There's an "used color" indicator in the color selector (beta). PNG export has default border off. Plus/4 color indicator position glitch fixed. Control+middle button activates zoom, so a Wacom stylus can theoretically zoom in/out.

Multipaint 2019.10 fixes some bugs resulting from the new features. Machine selector now has tooltips. Palette commands have tooltips. Undo works better with palette commands. Pull-down menus highlight some of the newer features, such as SETTINGS and PALETTE.

Multipaint 2019.9 adds Amstrad CPC mode 1. Work started on inter-mode conversions, so you could start a picture on one mode and then change it to another without having to convert a png in between. Eventually, this might mean you could draw a C64 image without color constraints, and then switch on to the constrained mode at a later stage.

Multipaint 2019.8 adds a PALETTE tool, and Atari ST FX paintmodes (SHADE, BLEND etc.) All of this is 'beta' really. ULAplus automatic color adding can be locked, consequences have not been thought out fully.

Multipaint 2019.7 fixed the fillbug introduced in 2019.6, in certain modes the second color had become 'protected'. Hopefully this repairs the bug and did not introduce new ones!

Multipaint 2019.6 moves Atari ST to the list of fully supported modes. A couple of color exchange menu commands for paletted modes (ST,CPC) have been added. In addition, a beta-version of a SETTINGS menu has been added with an option to hexify coordinats and draw grid in pixel-level (wheen zoomed in). The 'settings' are only saved with the BIN files.

Multipaint 2019.5 adds command line parameters. This probably only works on Linux, sorry. Check the manual for more information.

Multipaint 2019.3 changes the fileselectors so they are more likely to work on some macs. As a downside some fileselector features may be gone for now.

Multipaint 2019.2 fixes bugs relating to Koala import/export in the C64 multicolor mode. Also, a plus4 import/export bug has been fixed. In addition, loading BIN files for another platform activates that mode.

Multipaint 2019 is the sixth major release of Multipaint. This version introduces a pull-down menu and dialogue system, increased file safety, on-the-fly mode change, a switch for main toolbar handedness, improved mousewheel zoom, improved text output parameters, two new target platforms (ULAplus and QL) and various small bug fixes to the modes.
