Krita 6 (and 5.3) released! Two top-tier #art #apps for the price of one!
Look forward to Wayland color management (for Krita 6); an overhauled text tool with direct on-canvas editing, wrapped text and text-on-path capacity; a new #comic panel assistant; and so much more 🖌️.
5.3.0 now released also for Haiku, 6.0.0 is still a bit too early to replace 5.3.0 on Haiku.

Qt6.10.3 is released to the Haiku public now (64bit and 32bit)! This brings us up to current status on Qt6.
After having spend a few years I guess on updating this from 6.8.0 up to 6.11.0 (last one still has some issues) it was time to release the latest stable here.

I hope you enjoy the update!

@fluidlogic@oldbytes.space I know, my skills are mentioned in the alt text for the image, but it did attract some attention it seems 😇🥰🤣
Marknote bugfix release 1.5.1 is out. While the Haiku user will still be one version 1.4.1, I keep up here with latest releases and nightly builds, making sure things are still OK when Qt > 6.8 will be available for Haiku.
Code-blocks are working fine and the markdown editor has been improved a lot, with quotes being fixed among other things being fixed.

@thomas_deffieux@fediscience.org @Krita@mastodon.art It would take an artist to check it out, I'm not one of them, my greatest joy in this part is getting it to run and perform some basic tasks :) But so far I haven't seen much issues running it on Haiku, even older laptops. :)
Replying to
@PolyCat@sunny.garden @Krita@mastodon.art No way? It runs smooth, I'm no artist myself so not that familiar, but already did some very basic functions with it. :)
Replying to
@halla@fosstodon.org @InsaneAwesomeTony@mastodon.gamedev.place @simulo@hci.social @Krita@mastodon.art @haiku@mastodon.xyz For me personally, I'm trying to move away from Qt5 where I can (on Haiku), so if things keep on par next update for Krita will be the Qt6 version. 😇
Replying to
@simulo@hci.social @Krita@mastodon.art @haiku@mastodon.xyz Krita has been around for a while now on Haiku, I just went ahead and wanted to see how it would build/behave on upcomming Qt6 port. :)
Replying to
@bitigchi@mastodon.social @Krita@mastodon.art Thanks! Looks like Haiku is ready when Qt6 version is released (if nothing brakes in between) :)
Replying to
@leo Maybe you should get in touch with them? :) They have their own channel on the matrix.
Replying to
@whitehotaru Not familiar with Obsidian, but as it stands it seems there are issues with KF6/Qt6 in the default packages for Haiku, with Qt still at 6.7.2 the UI doesn't look like they do here with Qt 6.10.2. :(
Locally updated Qt to 6.11.0-rc, so far first checks are good, only visual change atm is the increased fontsize like in NeoChat and Tokodon.
