During the last months of 2017 we received the unpleasant news about the need for money that Krita's project needed to move forward. This was overcome and today we can say that Krita continues in good health, in very good health. Recently A new version known as Krita 4.0 has been released.

This new version add new tools to Krita and new scripts, without forgetting the compatibility with certain programs and the correction of bugs that are available in every new version.

The most striking novelties of this new version of Krita are the new SVG and Text tools that have been introduced. Tools that improve the editing of this type of images and the introduction of text. The brush tool has also been improved, allowing editing at 800% zoom and adding the ability to add certain masks that help create more vivid images. A new tool called Comic Project Management Tools. A tool that helps the user to create comics and similar materials, further enhancing the use and service of Krita for functions other than the editing of a simple and basic image.

Krtia 4.0 adds new functionalities through python scripts that are already common among graphic design professionals but it also adds Scribus xml format support and Swatchbooker (SBZ) palettes. The bugs corrected for this version have also been many and if we have a problem with any of them we can check it through the release notes.

If we want to have this new version or directly try first and then decide whether to install it or not, we recommend stopping by the official website of the application and use the package in AppImage format. It is a container format that will allow us to view and use Krita 4.0 without altering the rest of our distribution.
