Nya funktioner och felrättningar

A new python painting API by @freyalupen based on previous unfinished work was merged. Now you can utilize python to programmatically draw objects and other stuff on the canvas.
@YRH fixed an issue with audio and frame rate.
Related to the python API, some parts of @Grum999’s API work have been merged (2160 and 2167). Here are a few highlights:
- Document: Grids & Guides implementation review (dedicated classes available) + miscellaneous minor improvements
- Palette: minor improvements (try to get something more consistent in API)
- Manage class cast properly for Python class bindings (always get expected Python class instead of QObject)
- Updated API documentation for some classes (get more detailed documentation about class & methods)
@Deif_Lou has implemented a new feature which will help those who paint UV maps. It is called propagate colours. As the name suggests it propagates colours into nearby transparent areas which can be useful in the creation of UV maps.

From left to right: the original image; the expanded image with expanded alpha channel; the expanded image preserving the alpha channel (note that it looks like the original one, although the color components were propagated into the transparent areas); the third image after applying a levels filter that makes the transparent areas semi-opaque to clearly see how the colors were truly propagated. Images by @tomjk and @Deif_Lou.

Andra utvecklingshöjdpunkter

@Tiar has put out a call for artwork donations for the Fast Line Art tool currently in development. This is an experimental feature sponsored by Intel. The tool’s purpose is to speed up the creation of line art from the artist’s rough sketch using neural networks. The donated work will be used to train the tool.
Google Summer of Code (GSOC) Pixel Perfect Line Setting for Pixel Art Brushes is moving forward. @Ken_Lo published a Week 5 Recap outlining a proposed vector approach.

Krita’s 25-year Anniversary Celebration Continues

@RamonM released a second video commemorating this incredible milestone. He is joined by Lucas Tvrdy, an early Krita developer, and @Animtim, creator of Krita’s first book and training DVD. There is even a brief musical message from @Deevad, a professional artist and long-time Krita supporter. Watch the video to see who else pops in with a greeting.
