### Changed
- .NET 4.5 / Mono 4.0 are now required.
- Mono 6.x is strongly recommended for [Mac](https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-mac) and [Linux](https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/1877235) users.
- UI improvements to the New Image dialog (#99, [[1424547](https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/1424547)).
- The Rotate / Zoom dialog now rotates in-place instead of changing the layer's size.
- Cairo blend operations are now used instead of PDN's managed blend modes (#98, [#1248933](https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/1248933), [#1091910](https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/1091910)).
- The tool windows can now only be closed with the View -> Tool Windows menu, as it was easy to accidentally close them without knowing how to recover them ([#1428720](https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/1428720)).
