Krita 5.1.0 Released

Today we’re releasing Krita 5.1.0, a major new feature release!

Highlights

  • Even more operations can handle multiple selected layers.
  • We’ve improved support for the WebP, Photoshop layered TIFF and Photoshop files, and there’s new support for the JPEG-XL file format.
  • We’re now using XSIMD instead of VC, improving painting performance, especially on Android where vectorization now is used for the first time.
  • The fill tools have been extended with continuous fill and a new Enclose and fill tool.
  • For Windows, we’re using a newer version of Angle to improve compatibility with video drivers and improve performance.
  • You can now configure touch controls in canvas input settings, like “Tap to Undo”.

And there are, of course, a lot of bug fixes, performance improvements and all kinds of little user interface polishing.
