Krita 5.3.0 Released!

Today is the simultaneous release of Krita 5.3.0 and Krita 6.0.0! Depending which version of Qt and KDE Frameworks you build, the same source will result in one of the other. Both versions are almost functionally identical, with 6.0.0 having more Wayland functionality.

I was confused on why would you release both a minor and major version at the same time, if it wasn't a security upgrade. Then I checked the blog and found that Krita 6 is based on Qt 6, with Krita 5.3 being effectively identical but still based on Qt 5.
