And of course, there's a ton of cool new features that we can't wait for our community of artists to start working with, but before we dig into the details. It has certainly been a long time coming and a lot of hard work, but Krita 5 is here at last! I can say with a measure of pride (and a whole helping of relief for the development team) that 5.0 is up there among the largest and most significant updates that Krita has ever seen, affecting and improving almost every aspect of the program in a variety of ways, big and small. However, opening files created with earlier versions of Krita may require changing a setting to get the originally expected text size.

Krita 5.0 fixed an issue with text size in documents.

Krita 4 and earlier cannot use brush presets created in Krita 5.

Krita 5.0 has an updated brush preset file format (.kpp).

Krita 5.0 cannot load vector layers created before Krita 3.0 and has a completely reworked resource system.

Krita 5.0 is a major release of Krita.
