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.

@Krita I let out an audible "oooh" when I saw the transform box rotation demonstration, that's going to be huge for me!

Same! Especially since the one recording the demonstration was none other than the creator of Pepper and Carrot. He must be sighing in relief now that lettering his comics will be much more of a breeze.

Text editing on canvas, finally. I knew the day would come, i know that krita would deliver.

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.

@Krita Oh thank goodness you release AppImages! I couldn't get Krita to compile for the life of me on Gentoo; this means I can still use it and I am SO HAPPY!

Thank you so much!

@Krita Finally using fill on beak will no longer flood entire drawing to yellow because of a small silly gap by mistake! So many neat updates here!
