# **Monthly Report - October 2026**

Qt 6.11, a temporary ruler assistant, and more. Read on for a look at development news and the Krita-Artists forum's featured artwork from last month.

### Krita 5.3.4.1 Released

The hotfix release Krita 5.3.4.1 contains a single regression fix, for a bug that caused assigning display profiles to not work. This is important for color management. ([change](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/2962) by Nicholas LaPointe)

### Developments in Krita Plus

#### Qt 6.11.0

The Krita 6 builds now use version 6.11.0 of the Qt framework instead of 6.8.0. While work was done to avoid regressions, please report any new issues you find. On the other hand, this update may fix some bugs as well. ([change](https://invent.kde.org/packaging/krita-deps-management/-/merge_requests/79), by Dmitry Kazakov)

#### Touch Input Refactor

Dmitry has rewritten touchscreen and trackpad gesture support. This adds support for trackpad gestures to Krita 6 on Wayland, as well as some fixes. ([change](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/2902))

### Developments in Krita Next

#### Temporary Straight Ruler Action

New actions which temporarily create a Ruler assistant and snap brushstrokes to it called "Temporary Straight Ruler" have been added to Canvas Input. The Normal version is assigned to V+Left Click by default, which was previously assigned by default to Activate Line Tool, and the Snapped Angle version that snaps to 15 degree angles is assigned to Shift+V+Left Click by default. ([change](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/2789), by Ayanami Kaine)

#### Brushtip Export Dialog Fixes

The predefined brushtip chooser's create Stamp and Clipboard brushtip dialogs have been combined into a single "Create New" dialog that reuses the GBR/GIH brushtip export dialog. This makes sure they all share the same features, with the GBR/GIH export dialog gaining the Preserve Alpha option and the Create New brushtip dialog gaining the dimensions/ranks settings and Velocity animated mode. This also fixes creating a brushtip from an image in the clipboard. ([bug](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505280); [change](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/2949) by Freya Lupen)

#### Scripting API Additions

The scripting API has gained new features. Freya added signals to the Canvas class for changes in the canvas's state such as zoom or rotate ([change](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/2960)). The functions View.brushPosition to get the live brush position and Node.paintPolylineStroke to paint brushstrokes on a node using artifical input sensor values such as pressure and tilt from the new class StrokePoint were added by Moritz Staudinger ([change 1](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/2944), [change 2](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/2945)).
