First Beta Release of Krita 4.1
Three months after the release of Krita 4.0, we're releasing the first (and probably only) beta of Krita 4.1, a new feature release! This release includes the following major new features:
- A new reference images tool that replaces the old reference images docker.
- You can now save and load sessions: the set of images and views on images you were working on
- You can create multi-monitor workspace layouts
- An improved workflow for working with animation frames
- An improved animation timeline display
- Krita can now handle larger animation by buffering rendered frames to disk
- The color picker now has a mixing option
- Improved vanishing point assistant -- and assistants can be painted with custom colors
- Krita's scripting module can now be built with Python 2
- The first part of Ivan Yossi's Google Summer of Code work on improving the performance of brush masks through vectorization is included as well!
And there's more. Read the full release notes to discover what's new in Krita 4.1! With this beta release, the release notes are still work in progress, though.
