Countdown to 2.8

Published    15th December, 2013

The Krita Team is working really hard on what promises to become a really exciting release of Krita: 2.8. We’re not adding any new features anymore, just fixing bugs and then fixing more bugs! Here’s a short list of what we’ve done over the past week. These fixes are available for Windows users in updated 2.8 beta 1 builds:
