Krita 5.0.0 beta 5 released

Following the botched macOS build yesterday, we're releasing Krita 5.0.0 beta 5. Beta 4 didn't happen: while it was building, Dmitry Kazakov fixed an issue which we really wanted tested right away.

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.

Note that we are not making 32 bits Windows builds anymore.

• 64 bits Windows Installer: krita-x64-5.0.0-beta5-setup.exe
• Portable 64 bits Windows: krita-x64-5.0.0-beta5.zip
• Debug symbols. (Unpack in the Krita installation folder)

Linux

• 64 bits Linux: krita-5.0.0-beta5-x86_64.appimage

The separate gmic-qt appimage is no longer needed.

(If, for some reason, Firefox thinks it needs to load this as text: to download, right-click on the link.)

macOS

Note: if you use macOS Sierra or High Sierra, please check this video to learn how to enable starting developer-signed binaries, instead of just Apple Store binaries.

• macOS disk image: krita-5.0.0-beta5.dmg

Android

The Android releases are made from the release tarball, so there are translations. We consider Krita on ChromeOS and Android still beta. There are many things that don't work and other things that are impossible without a real keyboard.
