Krita 4.4.3 Released
Today, we're releasing Krita 4.4.3. This is strictly a bugfix release. We spend two beta's worth of testing trying to make this a really stable release, because from now on, we're focusing on Krita 5!
This will also be the last Krita release for 32 bits Windows; further releases will be 64 bits only.
This is the first release of Krita with a universal binary for macOS: the DMG contains both an ARM and a X64 build. Note that the main problem with Krita on macOS, OpenGL frame redraws interrupting the input queue is still a problem on both processor architectures.

Download
Windows
If you're using the portable zip files, just open the zip file in Explorer and drag the folder somewhere convenient, then double-click on the krita icon in the folder. This will not impact an installed version of Krita, though it will share your settings and custom resources with your regular installed version of Krita. For reporting crashes, also get the debug symbols folder.
