It's been some time now that the versions of Krita we use on computers keep track wrong. From a point version you go to one in which it seems that they have forgotten another, but it is not like that. Although I hadn't given it any importance, today, with the release of Krita 5.0.5,KDE has explained why is this happening: they would like to continue with the account, but Krita is in different software stores and some of them, when they do not accept a version, force the next thing they deliver to have a different number.
Thus, after the major update of v5.0 and two point updates (5.0.2), today Krita 5.0.5 has arrived. They explain that Not that we have missed 5.0.3 and 5.0.4, but that of the stores and that this time it has happened twice. Solved what they asked to accept the new version, and they have not said what problems there were or which store was the one that did not accept the update, we already have Krita 5.0.5, and it has arrived to correct errors.
