What's new in this version:

Added:
- convenience constructors to most of Direct2D's built-in effects (for GPU effect plugin authors)
- a PrimitiveBlendEffect for GPU effect plugins. This wraps ID2D1BlendTransform which is normally only available for use within the transform graph of a custom effect
- ability for plugins to work with CMYK (PixelFormats.Cmyk32/64 and ColorCmyk32/64 structs
- Updated the DDS FileType Plus plugin to v1.12.12.0
- a /diagnostics command-line parameter that shows the diagnostics info without having to start up the whole app

- Improved (reduced) CPU and GPU usage of the canvas, which leaves more CPU time for things like input processing. This was done by enabling VSync while also utilizing the DXGI Frame Latency Waitable Handle to minimize latency.

Fixed:
- some screen blanking issues for some systems that have buggy MPO (multiplane overlay) support
- flickering and mouse trails for systems that have NVIDIA Fast VSync enabled (NVIDIA driver bug)
- a hang while making changes to the Transparency Checkerboard Brightness setting when certain legacy plugins are installed
- a crash in the Levels adjustment UI if it was canceled or closed too quickly
