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)

We've just pushed an update to the 'beta' branch (or "Beta" in Steam).
This includes two big updates:

• Improved memory management
  
• Keyboard shortcuts in Sketch-mode

We want to have more time to test the impact that the new memory management will have, which is why it has not rolled out to everyone just yet. Though initial reports are positive and it appears to be a little "snappier" now.

Instructions for enabling 'beta' are here:

Please leave feedback in the comments below, or the Beta branch discussion forum :D

There's a new update which fixes an issue with custom keyboard shortcuts to some actions which were not being saved when Krita was shutdown.

Big thanks to those who reported this in! :)

We're happy to release another update which, in addition to adding some features, fixing some potential crash-conditions and other tweaks, improves the startup and loading of files, so Krita Gemini should feel a little "snappier".

• New Splash, "Blooming" by Tyson Tan (on his DeviantArt gallery)
  
• Faster startup
  
• NEW: Selection overlay mask (toggle by clicking the icon at bottom-left)
  
• NEW: Can cancel running brush-stroke with "Esc"
  
• IMPROVED: Layer docker - better handling, icons and feedback
  
• IMPROVED: Advanced Color Selector - Shade Selector includes HSI and HSY
  
• IMPROVED: Line Tool - Pressure sensitive, live preview of brush, supports mirrors and sensors
  
• SHORTCUT: Hold V and paint to temporarily enable line tool, tap to toggle on/off
  
• New smoothing options available in Sketch mode
  
• UI: Improvements to grid editing tool
  
• UI: Modal Toolbar buttons now highlight in theme colour
  
• FIX: Rulers start with correct units
  
• FIX: Crash-condition in Blur Filter
  
• (plus some minor fixes and slightly better management of memory)

(I'm hoping those translations are correct...)

We're happy to announce a new update, which add the following features and fixes:

• NEW: Language-pack (please read below)
  
• NEW: Stabilizer mode for smoothing input
  
• NEW: Multilayer selection
  
• NEW: Edit selection mask
  
• NEW: Support 8-bit and 16-bit heightmaps (as .r8 and .r16)
  
• NEW: New launch option for sketch-mode "--sketch"
  
• NEW: HDR Painting with the LUT Docker
  
• FIX: Memory leak in colour transformation
  
• FIX: to colour smudge brush engine
  
• FIX: lens-blur filter artifacts when used as an Adjustment Layer
  
• FIX: Conversion of clone layers into paint layers and selection masks
  
• Plus various other minor fixes!

We felt a few users would benefit from the language packs, and we were hard at work getting an early version of these in Krita Gemini, though there is still room for improvement. We've identified that there is still a little problem, but in general:

• Krita Gemini defaults to English (US)
  
• Currently only the Desktop mode allows setting the language (though we're working on translations of the sketch mode)
  
• If you open the "Select Application Language" dialog under the Help menu and change it to anything other than English (US), then it will ignore that setting, and display in the language which matches your "Formatting" setting in Windows Control Panel (Region and Language) - we're investigating why it doesn't correctly allow the setting of other languages.

If we're missing a language, please free to let us know - we'll add a discussion topic with language instructions you can comment in.

Have fun / Viel Spass! :D
