5.3.2.1 released

5.3.2.1 released June 2nd 2026

This release fixes a bug with the layer docker that was very pervasive and could cause anything from unsynced layers to crashes to groups not behaving as they should. This should also fix the issue where Windows packages weren’t signed. Download

Before the latest release, in Krita 5.3.2, I noticed on my screen that I could tap on my screen and the pop-up palette would appear but I was unable to select a brush preset nor change the color by taping on it and needed to use my stylus. I liked this feature since it limited accidental changes due to my palm resting on my screen.

Is it possible for this feature to return in this version, or the ability to choose how the pop-up palette interacts when we tap on a brush or color?

Thank you for your work!

yes, it’s now possible as a gesture in the touch-gestures section of the canvas input settings.

Yes, I can tap on the canvas as a touch gesture to invoke the pop-up palette, but I would like a setting that allows to tap for the pop-up palette but not to select the brushes nor use the color wheel in the pop-up palette without the stylus. This was something I noticed in Krita 5.3.2, before the new update.

Awesome! Thank you for the quick fixes! :grinning_face:

By the way, are these release tagged threads the best way to check on what’s new in a patch release? I haven’t been able to find a ChangeLog or release notes other than those for the larger releases on the main Krita site or even the gitlab, etc. (I wasn’t even able to find a tag for this release in the git repo!)

Hi @ktf - I use the news page on krita.org to get all my release notes. Posts | Krita
