As posted on https://krita.org/item/krita-and-ko-gmbh/, KO GmbH is handing over all its involvement with Krita to the Krita Foundation.

This includes Krita on Steam. The Krita Foundation will continue making new releases of Krita on Steam: the main difference is that proceeds from sales will now go directly to the Foundation, instead of to KO GmbH.

Valve has worked with us to transfer the application from KO GmbH to the Krita Foundation and everyone who bought Krita on Steam will continue to receive updates.

It's been a while since we posted an update here what with summer holidays and presentations at a couple of international events.

For now the update is only in the "Beta" (for more: How to enable the "beta" branch)
In this you will find:

• Manage presets in the pop-up palette - now a "Favourites" tag is created, but you can also choose which tag is used to populate the pop-up.
  
• New transformation modes in the Transformation tool (Cage and Liquify)
  
• Brush spacing has been improved for some presets, and there's the option for automatic spacing
  
• "Dirty Presets" - in the brush editor, there's the option to lose changes made to presets in the current session, "Temporarily save tweaks made to presets"
  
• Lock settings across presets (double-clicking an option in the brush editor will show a linked icon and cause those settings to be fixed between brushes)
  
• Cumulative Undo option (enable in Settings->Dockers->Undo History right-click and choose "Enable Cumulative Undo")
  
• Eraser remembers its size
  
• More tools save settings between sessions

As well as various other fixes and improvements.

Today's update includes an update to the Transform tool.
In addition to "Freehand" and "Warp" there is a new "Perspective transform" mode.

Paul Geraskin demonstrates it in use in this video:

Do remember to hit Enter or click Apply in the Tool Options docker to apply the transformation before saving.

After some testing, we've now updated the regular and beta branches to the latest versions. Now everyone will have the benefit of:

• Improved memory management
  
• Faster drawing (less lag/CPU)
  
• Fix: Some keyboard shortcuts that were not saving correctly
  
• Fix: Perspective Grid can be manipulated again
  
• Fix: Edit Grid tool back in the toolbox
  
• Fix: Potential crash when quitting Krita and saving changed image

Big thanks to @Seikatsukan for reporting the errors with the two grid tools, both of which were fixed today! :)

UPDATE: It looks like there might be a problem for some users who have "Scaling mode" set to Bilinear or Nearest-Neighbour filtering. If you only see the top-left of the image (or just a black canvas) then go to Settings->Configure Krita Gemini, and under the Display category, set Scaling Mode to "Trilinear Filtering". We're working on a fix.

If you purchased Krita Gemini during Early Access, or the Lifetime Upgrades package, you should see a subtle leafy decoration to the Welcome screen on startup now :)

We thought it would be a little bit of fun, helps those who purchased it see a difference, and it's an early step to providing some customisation in future perhaps.

For those who are interested the brush used was "X3BD Foliage" from Modular Brushset v4 :D

(although Krita will load these at startup, and 122 presets will take a little while)
