We also had a huge problem, that’s since then hit other free software projects like inkscape and darktable: scammers mailed people behind a lot of youtube channels, related or unrelated to graphics software, about a possible collaboration with the Krita team. That excludes all other places where people can get Krita, from Flatpak to Snap, from distributions to app stores to third-party download sites (but be careful with those!) The number of downloads from the download page grew to 5,637,579, almost a million more than in 2020, which was already a record year. It’s certain that now that is out in the wild we will discover lots of things that need fixing, but then… That’s always the case with code… Community We finished the huge resource system rewrite that we started in 2015. Santosh, Tanmay and Sachin: thanks for your hard work! This year, everyone can apply, even if you’re not a student anymore.
We also had three Google Summer of Code students participating in Google’s abbreviated program for students. In other words, there was a lot of churn! Code In any case, we worked through about 200 more bugs than last year. Weirdly enough, last year we only had 563 open bugs, so something is weird. Last year we ended up with 16 bugs more than we started the year with, this year we’re twelve bugs to the good. But even the 4.4 releases brought new features, like mesh gradients, mesh transformation, new fill layer types and new brush presets. The list of new features for Krita 5 is huge. With the release of 4.4.5 we said we wouldn’t do another 4.4 release, but we did… Last year, 2021, was, of course the year of the Krita 5 release! We also released from Krita 4.4.2 all the way through to Krita 4.4.8, so it was a busy year.
