Pinta 2.1 Released with WebP Support, Wayland Tweaks + More ... (OMG! Ubuntu!)

GTK Paint.NET clone Pinta has a new version out. In this post I run through what's new, plus tell you how you can install Pinta 2.1 on your system.

It is stuck on version 1.6 which is 8 years old at this point, relies on GTK2, and comes with a ton of bugs that were fixed in subsequent releases. Just a word of caution if you plan to install Pinta on Ubuntu: don’t install the version in the Ubuntu repos. This means Pinta can —hurrah— take screenshots under Wayland now — which is a real time saver. This efficient image format is finally gaining a lot of traction (quite deservedly) and with Ubuntu recently added support for viewing WebP images, Pinta following suit is good news. Pinta devs also made selection move handles and shape control point handles easier to use when working on zoomed in or really small images. [Pinta](https://www.pinta-project.com/) is available to download.
