krita: Update to 4.4.8

Changelog:
Krita 4.4.8 Released

Published    8/25/2021

This is strictly a bug fix release. There are two changes: we fixed an issue
with saving a .kra file with an embedded palette, which was broken leading to
dataloss, and, for Windows, support for fractional HiDPI display scaling is now
disabled by default.

Windows

If you窶决e using the portable zip files, just open the zip file in Explorer and
drag the folder somewhere convenient, then double-click on the krita icon in
the folder. This will not impact an installed version of Krita, though it will
share your settings and custom resources with your regular installed version of
Krita. For reporting crashes, also get the debug symbols folder.

Note that we are not making 32 bits Windows builds anymore.

  * 64 bits Windows Installer: krita-x64-4.4.8-setup.exe
  * Portable 64 bits Windows: krita-x64-4.4.8.zip
  * Debug symbols. (Unpack in the Krita installation folder)

Linux

  * 64 bits Linux: krita-4.4.8-x86_64.appimage
  * 64 bits Linux G窶儁ic-Qt plugin appimage

download, right-click on the link.)

macOS

Note: if you use macOS Sierra or High Sierra, please check this video to learn
how to enable starting developer-signed binaries, instead of just Apple Store
binaries.

  * macOS disk image: krita-4.4.8.dmg

Note: the gmic-qt is not available on macOS.

Android

It was not possible to build Krita 4.4.8 for Android at this point, because the
build system was changed to make the Krita 5.0 beta 1 build possible.

Krita 4.4.7 Released

Published    8/7/2021

This is strictly a bug fix release. The most important reason for this release
is a fix for a performance regression in Krita 4.4.5. There are a few other
fixes:

  * Fix a crash on exit with certain versions of Qt and PyQt
  * Fix moving selection with the magnetic selection tool (BUG:433633)
  * Fix crashes in the magnetic selection tool when deleting nodes (BUG:439896)
  * Fix an assert when converting the image color space from Python (BUG:437980
    )
  * Fix a crash when closing a gamut mask document (BUG:438914)
  * Fix drag and drop of clone layers between images (BUG:414699)
  * Fix crash when saving the image with trimming enabled (BUG:437626)

Download

Note: there is no Krita 4.4.6, that version number was created only for the
release on the Epic store.

Windows

If you窶决e using the portable zip files, just open the zip file in Explorer and
drag the folder somewhere convenient, then double-click on the krita icon in
the folder. This will not impact an installed version of Krita, though it will
share your settings and custom resources with your regular installed version of
Krita. For reporting crashes, also get the debug symbols folder.

Note that from this release on we are not making 32 bits Windows builds
anymore.

  * 64 bits Windows Installer: krita-x64-4.4.7-setup.exe
  * Portable 64 bits Windows: krita-x64-4.4.7.zip
  * Debug symbols. (Unpack in the Krita installation folder)

Linux

  * 64 bits Linux: krita-4.4.7-x86_64.appimage
  * 64 bits Linux G窶儁ic-Qt plugin appimage

OSX

how to enable starting developer-signed binaries, instead of just Apple Store
binaries.

  * OSX disk image: krita-4.4.7.dmg

Note: the gmic-qt is not available on OSX.

Android

This time, the Android releases are made from the release tarball, so there are
translations. We consider Krita on ChromeOS and Android still beta. There are
many things that don窶冲 work and other things that are impossible without a
real keyboard. You can also get Krita 4.4.7 from Google Play.

Published    6/9/2021
