The final version of Krita 4.4.3 has been released. Krita is a professional free and open source painting program.

Krita 4.4.3 Released

Today, we’re releasing Krita 4.4.3. This is strictly a bugfix release. We spend two beta’s worth of testing trying to make this a really stable release, because from now on, we’re focusing on Krita 5!

This will also be the last Krita release for 32 bits Windows; further releases will be 64 bits only.

This is the first release of Krita with a universal binary for macOS: the DMG contains both an ARM and a X64 build. Note that the main problem with Krita on macOS, OpenGL frame redraws interrupting the input queue is still a problem on both processor architectures.
