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.

@doctormo it's fine. I'll just work around it. Thankfully Inkscape backups everything when it crashes.

By the way, are you aware that Inkscape's website shows on Google as just the download page for Windows? It was very strange accessing it from Linux and the .msi file downloading automatically!

@lazyb0y I wouldn't say completely unusable but it's frustrating and disheartening to open a software that has been in development for over a decade and you're just able to find issues with it in a matter of minutes. You would think someone else would have found all the bugs already by now. I often think "am I the only one using these features? Using this software this way? That isn't possible..."
@doctormo yes, I have 1.2 from my distro, but it was crashing for some reason, so I downloaded the 1.4.3 appimage, and that crashed too. But at least I was able to make it reproducible.
My #Inkscape workflow involves opening it to do something quick and simple and then reporting 1 bug that crashes it on their Gitlab and then finding a 2nd bug to report while reporting the first one. :(
