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.

Today is #DocumentFreedomDay! 💜 We’re celebrating the right to access our own data without being locked into a specific software.

Curious how file formats evolved?

@doctormo our vector layers are stored as svg.

If you have a vector layer selected, go Layer→import/export→save vector layer as SVG to export it. The only unique thing we do is that we group text and the flowshapes, but that is written as a <g> with extra attributes, and I made sure they opened in Inkscape.

Nice work @Krita we at Inkscape aplaude politely with minor jealousy at those text editing capabilities 😉

No seriously. Nice work, and a great path forward I hope Inkscape will harmonise on. (i.e. steal)
