For those sticking to the latest Krita release, the Krita Lime PPA has finally changed the official .deb binaries from Krita3-testing to stable builds, although Ubuntu 16.04 and old versions are not supported due to outdated version of Qt library provided.
So far the latest is Krita 3.1.1 that feathers:
- Fully OS X support.
- Krita can now, with FFmpeg render an animation to gif, mp4, mkv and ogg.
- There is now automated tweening of opacity between frames in an animation.
- New color selector
- The Quick Brush engine
- A stop-based gradient editor
- Added a halftone filter
