Krita 4.0.1 Released
Today the Krita team releases Krita 4.0.1, a bug fix release of Krita 4.0.0. We fixed more than fifty bugs since the Krita 4.0.0 release! See below for the full list of fixed isses. Translations work again with the appimage and the macOS build. Please note that:
- The reference image docker has been removed. Krita 4.1.0 will have a new reference images tool. You can test the code-in-progress by downloading the nightly builds for Windows and Linux
- There is no scripting available on macOS. We had it almost working when the one macbook the project has received a broken update, which undid all our work. G'Mic is also not available on macOS.
- The lock and collapse icons on the docker titlebars are removed: too many people were too confused by them.
If you find a new issue, please consult this draft document on reporting bugs, before reporting an issue. After the 4.0 release, more than 150 bugs were reported, but most of those reports were duplicates, requests for help or just not useful at all. This puts a heavy strain on the developers, and makes it harder to actually find time to improve Krita. Please be helpful!
