Krita 5.0.5 released
Today we release Krita 5.0.5, probably the last release before Krita 5.1.0 comes out, hopefully in June. Note on the numbering: you didn't miss 5.0.3 and 5.0.4. Some stores, if they think a certain package isn't good enough, insist you upload a package with an increased version number, and that happened twice with 5.0.2...

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-x64-5.0.5-setup.exe
- Portable 64 bits Windows: krita-x64-5.0.5.zip
- Debug symbols. (Unpack in the Krita installation folder)
Linux
- 64 bits Linux: krita-5.0.5-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-5.0.5.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.
