Today we’re releasing Krita 5.1.1. This is strictly a bug fix release. Two serious problems are fixed in this release: a slowdown in start-up time experienced by some people, and a crash when copying a vector layer.
Other fixes are:
If you’re using the portable zip files, just open the zip file in Explorer and drag the folder somewhere convenient, then double-click on the krita icon in the folder. This will not impact an installed version of Krita, though it will share your settings and custom resources with your regular installed version of Krita. For reporting crashes, also get the debug symbols folder.
Note that we are not making 32 bits Windows builds anymore.
The separate gmic-qt appimage is no longer needed.
(If, for some reason, Firefox thinks it needs to load this as text: to download, right-click on the link.)
Note: if you use macOS Sierra or High Sierra, please check this video to learn how to enable starting developer-signed binaries, instead of just Apple Store binaries.
We consider Krita on ChromeOS as ready for production. Krita on Android is still beta. Krita is not available for Android phones, only for tablets, because the user interface needs a large screen.
For all downloads, visit https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/5.1.1/ and click on Details to get the hashes.
The Linux appimage and the source .tar.gz and .tar.xz tarballs are signed. You can retrieve the public key here. The signatures are here (filenames ending in .sig).
Without visible resource check, the restart is about 7 seconds! 
That’s good news - I held off on updating after reading about the startup bug. 
Continuing the discussion from Krita 5.1.1 Released:
The mac download on the home page: Krita Desktop | Krita – is still pointing at the 5.10 version.
Just mentioning this if it’s still on the to-do list. 
Thanks!
Thanks All!!!
The version on steam is still 5.0.6…
I tried it yesterday, and while the steam page said 5.0.6, I got 5.1.0. @emmetpdx can you check this?
A post was merged into an existing topic: HELP ME PLEASE…! I Lost some pixels with Transform Mesh
Another bugfix release is much awaited.
The current Krita version still has a very bad issue with vector handles.
There’s a glitch which occurs when you activate layer styles, then use the transform tool on the layer with the active layer styles.

Hi there! I was trying to download Mac OS (HIgh Sierra) version of Krita 5.1.1, but I keep getting version 5.1.0. Can you please fix the problem?
Thank you!
Can you try this link - https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/5.1.1/krita-5.1.1.dmg
I get a 5.1.1 dmg from it, if you get an older version may be it is a caching issue
Don’t think it’s a caching issue. The download page on the Krita website still links to 5.1.0 in the case of MacOS.
Yes the installer linked in the download page is still 5.1.0. I think it is not updated yet. @scottyp or @halla need to know about it.
@Charlie_H You can download the dmg from the release post or from the link I gave you.
wow!! what a difference in startup speed. Thank you so much for this one!
I’ve been watching the download page and it keeps updating the “Released on…” date to today’s date. Who do we notifiy to fix the main download page?
@scottyp might know about it.
I will have to look into it. The date is manually entered in WordPress to get those results. I will have to look at the code when I get home to see why it isn’t being translated correctly. This is what it looks like in WordPress now. I haven’t done anything with that in a long time, so not sure why it would be acting up now.
