Krita 5.3.2 has been released, addressing several issues with the text tool and improving performance for Android users by moving resource copying to the background, preventing startup crashes. The update also fixes bugs that caused vector freezes, PSD parsing issues, and animation export errors, enhancing overall stability for daily use. Additionally, the text engine has been revamped, allowing typed layers to auto-select and improving the font dropdown functionality for a smoother user experience. Users are encouraged to stick with this version for everyday work as the newer 6.0 branch is still experiencing issues related to its migration to Qt6
Krita 5.3.2 released
Krita 5.3.2 finally patches the text tool so typed layers auto-select and the font dropdown actually responds without lagging through a complete rewrite. Android users get relief from that persistent startup crash since resource copying now runs in the background instead of freezing the main thread. The update also squashes several stability bugs, including hi-dpi vector freezes, PSD parsing crashes, and animation export errors that quietly corrupted projects. Developers recommend sticking with 5.3.2 for daily work since the newer 6.0 branch is still shaking out Qt6 migration issues.
