> Krita 2.8.0 is the first stable release of Krita for Windows. Supported by the Krita Development Fund (http://krita.org/support-krita#general), an enormous amount of work has been done improving the support for graphics tablets. Both Huion (http://huiontablet.com/) and Wacom (wacom.com) have generously donated hardware to help us realize the improved support. The OpenGL support has been rewritten and now sports an amazingly high-quality scaling algorithm which is very suitable for working with detailed high-res lineart.

There are many improvements and additions to Krita's native filters as well, thanks to Sahil Nagpal's Google Summer of Code project.
