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)

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)
