Rapporto sullo sviluppo
Krita ha compiuto 25 anni!
May 31, 2024 marks Krita’s 25th birthday. As one would expect, there have been many changes over the years – even the name changed several times. You can get a look inside Krita’s history in this blog post written by @Halla, Krita’s Maintainer for more than 20 years.
In honour of this milestone, @RamonM prepared a special treat for all Krita users: a video interview with @Halla.
Your feedback is requested
- 5.2.3-Beta1 was released June 5th. This release represents a complete rework of the build system and numerous fixes by the core Krita developer team as well as freyalupen, Grum999, NabilMaghfurUsman, Deif_Lou, Alvin Wong, Rasyuqa A. H. and Mathias Wein. There are a number of first-time contributors whose names appear next to their contribution in the release notes.
- Testing packages for every platform are provided on the release notes page. Please report your findings and feedback in the Testers Wanted thread.
- Text property editing: Merge request 2092 is almost finished, awaiting review. Testing builds are now available on the CI. @Wolthera is requesting user feedback on the UX. Please read this post and share your comments there.
- Google Summer of Code (GSOC) @Ken_Lo is seeking input on the Pixel Perfect project https://krita-artists.org/t/pixel-perfect-line-setting-for-pixel-art-brushes/42629/16
Other Development Highlights
- Free transform bounding box rotation by Stuffin has been merged. This completes the feature request Adjusting the transform box to match the object angle in the drawing and can be tested in the 5.3.0-prealpha nightly. (Note to testers: Adjusting the bounding box is activated with Ctrl+Alt.) Thanks stuffin!
- Grum999 is improving the python API so that it is more robust for python developers and they can access more of krita’s internal features through python. There is a work-in-progress MR to add new scripting functions for accessing Grids, Guides, and Mirror Axes from the document, and signals for changes in the document and view. Check the MR
- @Ralek has added lossless transformation conditions - Rotations in increments of 90 degrees, and perfect x and y mirrors should now be lossless. This should greatly help out pixel artists, who I believe previously could not use these functions at all. Check the MR
