Krita 5.3.2 Released!
Today we're releasing Krita 5.3.2 and 6.0.2. This release fixes a number of issues with the text tool, and improves the Selection Action Panel significantly. Furthermore, Android now handles resource copying in the background, preventing a common crash on startup. In addition to that, many more bugfixes were made, including some by new contributors!
- Fix conversion of layers names passed to GMic (Bug 517975)
- Fix reversal of the layers when importing .kra as layers (Bug 514760)
- Fix font selection in qt6 and improve font dropdown.(Bug 515548)
- Fix text not getting selected when created on a normal layer (Bug 516006)
- Make keyframe selection change layer selection.
- Fix text shape not handling whitespace chars properly.
- Fix KisAnimationRenderingOptions not loading frameExportConfig.
- Several fixes for RGBE file loading.
- Check for export status of every animation frame and error out on QFile::copy failure, Improve KisAnimationRender error handling (Thanks, Raidon Chrome).
- Fix Selection Action Panel disappearing when toggling selection visibility (Bug 518633)
- Add a Selection Action Panel toggle to the selection tool options docker.
- Android: Copy assets without blocking main thread. This could take so long that Android thinks the application is not responding and prompts the user to terminate it.
- Several fixes to testing whether the file can be created when saving a document.
- Switch base image to Clang 21 on Windows.
- Fix number of pixels in A1 paper preset (Thanks, Ming-Chuan Lin).

- Revert "Fix Transform and Move shortcuts conflicting Timeline arrow key actions" (Bug 515703).
- Create a qquickwidget based popup for handling popups with qquickwidgets, to improve the look and feel of the font dropdown.
- Fix freeze on opening a hi-dpi image with a vector layer (Bug 519785)
- Text: avoid potential assert when checking the text type.
- Text: fix a bunch of potential array index crashes by using a dedicated function.
- Don't move line origin if Alt is held at start (this interferes with users binding the Alt key to the line tool quick switch).
- Fix saving the title element on paths correctly. This broke some symbol libraries (Bug 520345).
Check out the release notes for a full overview of all the new features in Krita 5.3 and 6.0.
[!WARNING] One again, we consider Krita 5.3.2 suitable for productive work; 6.0.2 is, because of the many changes from Qt5 to Qt6 more experimental.
