Google Summer of Code student Ken Lo's project for a pixel-art line stabilizer was finished successfully.

There’s a new default Python plugin, the Workflow Buttons docker, with customizable buttons that can select a tool, brush, color, or run a script.

The team plans to make a 5.2.5 release in late September, containing various bug-fixes from the past few months. These fixes include issues with no layer being selected, bugs when triggering touch gestures and stylus actions at the same time, broken support for Deflate-using TIFF files on Windows, crashes importing audio on macOS, and many more.

After the release, the developers will lead a community bug hunt effort to reduce the number of open bug reports and fix bugs. Tune in next month for details.

To quote the author:

I’m also still pretty new to Krita and might have overlooked some layer usage situations. Don’t hesitate to let me know!
