Krita 4.0.2 released
Today the Krita team releases Krita 4.0.2, a bug fix release of Krita 4.0.0. We fixed more than fifty bugs since the Krita 4.0.0 release! See below for the full list of fixed isses. We've also got fixes submitted by two new contributors: Emmet O'Neil and Seoras Macdonald. Welcome!
Please note that:
- The reference image docker has been removed. Krita 4.1.0 will have a new reference images tool. You can test the code-in-progress by downloading the nightly builds for Windows and Linux. You can also use Antoine Roux's reference images docker python plugin.
- Translations are broken in various ways. On Linux everything should work. On Windows, you might have to select your language as an extra override language in the Settings/Select language dialog. This might also be the case on macOS
- The macOS binaries are now signed, but do not have G'Mic and do not have Python scripting.
If you find a new issue, please consult this draft document on reporting bugs before reporting an issue. After the 4.0 release more than 150 bugs were reported, but most of those reports were duplicates, requests for help or just not useful at all. This puts a heavy strain on the developers and makes it harder to actually find time to improve Krita. Please be helpful!
