New handbook is available here as a pet package.
It warns if you try to install the pet package
while mtpaint is running. Quit mtpaint and try again.
Note that Slacko and tahrpup do not allow the second install
of the same pet package so un-install procedure is needed.

I have been running this on my 3.01 box and only needed to install jasper from puppy linux 4 repos.

Can I ask a question?
I checked the Mtpaint website but I didn't find any mention of versioin 3.44.13.

...And the only versions available for download are 3.40

Is this a Git version or something?

Yes. I got it from git.

There is a link to git from the official mtpaint page.

The current maintainer took the summer off for a vacation.

a feature I really hope can be implemented in mtpaint is the ability to save tiff images with g4 compression, any time in past I tried to save a tiff image, after converting the colorspace from RGB to INDEXED, (2 colors: black and white), the result was always a LZW compressed tiff (not g4)

I managed to bypass the issue converting the tiff in png and then converting the png to tiff g4 with graphicsmagick
