Krita 3.3.2 Released

Today we are releasing Krita 3.3.2, a bugfix release for Krita 3.3.0. This release fixes two important regressions:

• Krita 3.3.1 would read brush presets with textures incorrectly. This is now fixed.
• Windows 1709 broke wintab and Windows Ink tablet handling in various ways; we worked around that and it works again in this version of Krita.

Additionally, there are the following fixes and improvements:

• Animation: make it possible to export empty frames after the end of the animation.
• Animation: make it possible to render up to a 10,000 frames

• Performance: improved caching for effect and selection masks
• Performance: Fix a leak in the smudge brush
• Performance: Improve performance when using the hardware-accelerated canvas
• Performance, Windows: improve the performance when loading icons
