The Krita team are happy to announce the release of 2.9.6, and this time we've even managed to release on krita.org and Steam at the same time! :D

The past month has been spent largely bug-fixing, but there are a few new features too!

• New selection modifiers
  
• Continuous transform and crop
  
• Tool Options can now (optionally) be used from the toolbar

For more information, and some snazzy screenshots, check out the official annoucement.

It's taken a little while (that and we forgot to make an announcement when we pushed an update previously...) but we're happy to announce that there is an update to the desktop29 branch. This took a little longer as we encountered some problems with a previous update and didn't want to release it until we had a chance to fix it.

Huge thanks to Kaffeesatzspringer for helping with testing the seat-of-the-pants "unstable" builds! <3 <3 <3

And the build-machine is already warming up as it gets ready for another release to be tested.

In this update:

• [FEATURE] Various curve filters
  
• [FEATURE] Create a copy from the current image (File menu)
  
• [FEATURE] Configure memory-management (Settings -> Krita -> Performance)
  
• [FEATURE] Fisheye Vanishing Point tool (Ruler Assistant Editor)
  
• Improved handling of PSD files
  
• loads of little tweaks and bug-fixes, including patching some memory leaks
