Krita 5.1.5 Released

Previous Post | Thursday, 5 January 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes | Next Post

We're releasing today a new bugfix release. This is mainly important for Android and ChromeOS users where sometimes Krita would be very slow opening or creating a new image, or loading an image.

Fixes

Fixed an issue with banding when using the gradient map filter as a filter layer. BUG:463585
Only center paste into active layer if contents are outside image bounds. BUG:461894
EXR: Fixed opening EXR files that have only a luma channel. BUG:461975
Fixed an issue building with XSIMD 10.0 and up. BUG:463219
Properly use the resolution of a .KRA file when that file is used as a file layer. BUG:442127
Fixed a regression in loading PSD files. BUG:462417
Android: Fixed loading and creating images on Android and ChromeOS. BUG:463318
Android: Fixed an issue with loading translations. BUG:462943

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-x64-5.1.5-setup.exe
Portable 64 bits Windows: krita-x64-5.1.5.zip
Debug symbols. (Unpack in the Krita installation folder)

Linux

64 bits Linux: krita-5.1.5-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-5.1.5.dmg

Android

We consider Krita on ChromeOS as ready for production. Krita on Android is still beta. Krita is not available for Android phones, only for tablets, because the user interface needs a large screen.
