Description:
The Krita project has announced the release of Krita 5.3.0 and 6.0.0: Krita 5.3/6.0 is the result of many years of work by the Krita
developers. Some features have been rewritten from the ground up,
others make their first appearance. Enjoy the completely new text feature: on canvas editing, full
opentype support, text flowing into shapes. It is now easier than ever
to create vector-based panels for comic pages. Tools got extended: for instance, the fill tool now can close gaps. The liquify mode of the
transform tool is much faster. There are new filters: a propagate
colors filter and a reset transparent filter. Support for HDR painting
has been improved. The recorder docker can now work in real
time. There is improved support for file formats, like support for
text objects in PSD files. And much, much, much more! According to the announcement, the versions are almost functionally
identical. However, the 6.0.0 release is the first based on Qt6;
it has more Wayland functionality but is considered experimental. It
cautions that users should stick to 5.3.0 for real work. See
the release
notes for a full list of changes.
