Krita changelog:

Changes in Krita

Highlights:

* As is traditional, our September release has the first Google Summer of Code results. Wolthera's Tangent Normal Brush engine has already been merged and provides:
    * Tangent Normal Brush Engine
    * Phong Bumpmap now accepts normal map input.
    * Normalize filter.
    * Tilt Cursor.
* We've got all-new icons!
* You can configure the size of the icons used in the toolbox.
* Colorspacebrowser: if you want to know the nitty-gritty details about the colorspaces and profiles Krita offers, all information is now available in the new colorspace browser. Still under heavy polishing!
* You can pick colors and use the fill tool everwhere in wrap-around mode
