Krita 3.1 Beta 4 Released

Published 11/16/2016

Here is the fourth Krita 3.1 beta! From the Krita 3.1 on, Krita will officially support OSX. All OSX users are urged to use this version instead of earlier “stable” versions for OSX. We’re releasing a fourth beta because of more changes to the code that actually saves your images… We’ve tried to make it much safer, but please do test this!

These are the most important fixes:

Improve the framerate of the stabilizer

Fix a regression with saving animations in the previous beta (3.0.92)

Fix some crashes when drawing in the scratch pad

Make the color selector in the color-to-alpha filter work properly

Note: the beta still contains the colorize mask/lazy brush plugin. We will probably remove that feature in the final release because the current algorithm is too slow to be usable, and we’re still looking for and experimenting with new algorithms. With the current beta you will get a preview of how the user interface will work, but keep in mind that the we know that it’s too slow to be usable and are working on fixing that

The fourth beta is also much more stable and usable than earlier builds, and we’d like to ask everyone to try to use this version in production and help us find bugs and issues!

You can find out more about what is going to be new in Krita 3.1 in the release notes. The release notes aren’t finished yet, but take a sneak peek all the same!
