Notably, Krita has stopped producing 32-bit Windows builds, now available only in 64-bit versions for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android. The source code is accessible in tarballs, and a public key can be obtained from these tarballs. Krita is also deemed suitable for production on ChromeOS and is tailored for tablet use, requiring larger screens for optimal functionality.
With this release, Krita developers plan to shift focus towards the upcoming Krita 5.3.0 feature release and the significant Krita 6.0.0, which will be based on the Qt6 framework. Users with keyboards featuring more than 12 function keys will benefit from a new setting that allows Krita to disregard spurious F22 keypresses, enhancing usability.
