As said above, there’s already a lot of cool stuff available in the daily builds, but there are two special projects going on right now: We’re working hard on what will become Krita 4.2. So, 2018 was a pretty good year for Krita! What will 2019 bring?
#KRITA UPDATE 2019 DOWNLOAD#
There’s the Windows Store, there’s the rejuvenated Steam Store, community-driven flatpak, Windows download sites and Linux distributions being more and more up-to-date.Īs the Krita core team, we love interacting with our users, but it’s honestly getting too much for half a dozen people, who also want to do some coding! So we’ve got a new Questions and Answers website - though the idea there was that it would turn into a community of Krita users helping each other, and that hasn’t happened yet! Krita gets downloaded almost two million times a year - and that’s just from our own website. We got about seven to eight months of development funded!
On the other hand, what with Kickstarter’s cut, the actual net result was pretty much the same as with the 2016 fundraiser.
We didn’t use Kickstarter this time, so it was pretty hard to actually drive traffic to the fundraiser. They are quite challenging, so take a look! And if you’re a student and are interested, now is the time to get to know our developer community! While it’s not certain, of course, that KDE will participate again, we’ve already put up some ideas for projects students could work on.
#KRITA UPDATE 2019 CODE#
All the code has been merged - true, we still need to do some fixing, but it was a good year.Īnd in 2019 there will be another edition of the Google Summer of Code. We had three students, who all completed their projects succesfully. Speaking of Google Summer of Code… We participated through the KDE umbrella in 2018. In the meantime, more and more new code accumulates in the master branch in Git - we’re in danger of forgetting what’s in there, so we’ve started on the release notes already! Unfortunately, one essential part is still unfinished, and that leads to some extra instability when working with larger images. Are we totally satisfied? Not quite… We had also wanted to release 4.2.0 this year, with all the work done by our Google Summer of Code students. That’s ten releases in one year, which means we’re getting closer to our goal of a release every month. We released Krita 4.0, which included Python scripting, the new, but sadly underpowered text tool, switched from ODG to SVG for vector graphics - and much, much more.Īnd after that, we released 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.1.0 (with the new reference images tool, session management and more), 4.1.1, 4.1.3, 4.1.5 and 4.1.7. At the end of the year, we looked back on 2017 and looked forward to 2018, it’s getting time to repeat the exercise! On the whole, 2018 was a better year for Krita than 2017.
