Krita 5 is Here

Krita 5.0 is here!

This is a huge release, with a lot of new features and improvements. Some highlights:

The way Krita handles things like brushes, gradients and palettes, as well as tagging, has been completely revamped. The new system is much faster, uses much less memory and is much more dependable!
Gradients have been improved: they are much more smoothed and can handle wider gamuts.

The smudge brush engine has been completely rewritten, and we’ve got a new brush engine, based on MyPaint

The Animation system has been overhauled, with both user interface improvements and new features, such as clone frames and animated transform masks

Krita now has a built-in storyboard editor!
There’s a recorder to create a video out of your painting sessions
And much, much more! For a complete overview, read the release notes.
