Krita 4.4.2 測試版本 (beta 1) 已推出
Krita 開發團隊現推出 Krita 4.4.2 的首個測試版本。此版本包含超過 300 項程式碼改動，主要為修正程式錯誤，不過同時也加入了一些重大的新功能！
請注意：此版本嘗試修正了某些情況下組合快捷鍵失效的問題 (Modifier shortcut keys stop working)，不過這項修正並未被問題的回報者確定能達到預期效果。我們在此希望各位使用者可以協助我們細心測試一下。
新功能
網狀漸變
這項由 Sharaf Zaman 於 Google Summer of Code 展開的專案現已於此發佈版本正式成為 Krita 的新功能！這是繼 Inkscape 之後另一個獨立的 SVG 網狀漸變 (Mesh Gradient) 實作，並與 Inkscape 兼容。網狀漸變乃用於向量圖形。它可以產生出非常自然的效果：
網狀變形
網狀變形是在此版本加入的另一項新功能。與網狀漸變相似，這項功能同樣是使用貝茲曲線形成的網格，這些網格可以分別控制以產生準確的變形效果，尤其是對繪畫曲面物件非常有幫助。你還可以選擇顯示貝茲曲線的控制點，助你作出更精密的變形控制！
現時提供的快捷鍵如下，不過我們仍在調整中：
- 網格節點： - 按下並拖曳 --- 移動節點
- 邊緣節點： - 按下並拖曳 --- 移動節點 - Shift + 按下並拖曳 --- 移動整行或列 - Ctrl + Alt + 按下並拖曳 --- 分割或滑動行或列 - Ctrl + Alt + 按下並向外拖曳 --- 移除分割
- 控制點： - 按下並拖曳 --- 對稱地修改兩邊控制點 - Shift + 按下並拖曳 --- 修改單邊控制點 此操作會使圖像出現明顯的角度變化，尤如摺痕一樣。
- 節點或控制點： - Ctrl + 按一下 --- 選取多點
- 網格內部範圍： - 按下並拖曳 --- 網格自由扭曲 - Shift + 按下並拖曳 --- 移動整個網格
- 網格外部空白位置： - 按下並拖曳 --- 旋轉網格或已選取項目 - Ctrl + 按下並拖曳 --- 縮放網格或已選取項目 - Shift + 按下並拖曳 --- 平移網格或已選取項目
漸變填充圖層及新版漸變編輯工具
這項由 Deif Lou 加入的漸變填充圖層讓你可以非常簡便地以非破壞性方式建立各種漸變效果。這項新功能同時亦帶來了一項易用性改進：Krita 中的漸變分為「停駐點漸變」和「分段漸變」兩種，過往各自有不同功能和編輯介面，現在兩者均可在同一個介面中編輯，而且兩者可以互相轉換。
改進半調濾鏡
Deif Lou 亦重寫了半調濾鏡。舊版的半調濾鏡運算速度緩慢，又不能作濾鏡遮罩使用，還只提供圓點狀網點。
新的半調濾鏡可以用作濾鏡遮罩圖層，支援獨立色彩通道，而半調網點圖案亦可經由填充圖層產生，為創作帶來了無限可能。
更新 macOS 整合外掛程式
Amyspark 為 Krita 的 QuickLook 外掛程式加入了預覽縮圖功能（需要 macOS 10.15 或更新版本）以及支援在 Spotlight 顯示檔案屬性資訊。
新增「貼上圖形樣式」操作
這項功能讓你可以將在剪貼簿中的向量圖形的樣式套用到其他選取中的向量圖形。此操作可在「編輯」功能表中找到，或在「鍵盤快捷鍵」設定中指定快捷鍵。
新增「環繞模式」功具列圖示按鈕
Krita 曾經設定了鍵盤快捷鍵「W」用作切換「環繞模式」──今年 Adobe Photoshop 亦曾宣佈於下個版本加入了相類似的功能。
不過，由於很多使用者因不小心誤按這個快捷鍵而被混淆了，誤以為 Krita 發生錯誤，因此我們從預設快捷鍵中移除了這個快捷鍵。可是這樣卻使環繞模式變得隱蔽起來。有見及此，我們於此版本中加入了一個功具列圖示按鈕以切換「環繞模式」：
改進高解像度縮放 (HiDPI) 的支援
- 像素畫預覽圖
- 參考圖顯示
- 漫畫管理器頁面
- 最近檔案工具面板中的檔案縮圖
- 最近檔案縮圖
- 浮動畫具板
