Automatic build of main — version 1.1.108.
Changes since v1.1.106 / Nouveautés depuis v1.1.106
feat(io): open Paint.NET .pdn files with their layers (closes #30)
Read Paint.NET's native format: the PDN3 header, the .NET BinaryFormatter
(MS-NRBF) object graph of the Document, then the deferred gzip-compressed
layer chunks that follow it. Each layer keeps its pixels, name, visibility,
opacity and blend mode (both the Paint.NET 4+ enum and the 3.x blend-op
object). The parser is bounds-checked and rejects damaged files cleanly.
.pdn is open-only: Save routes to Save As with a .psw name suggested.
File > Open lists .pdn, and dropping a .pdn opens it as its own image.
zlib is now a build dependency (CI, packaging and AUR updated).
Tests use real Paint.NET 4.x and 3.5 files from the MIT-licensed pypdn
test suite and compare pixels against its reference renders.
