Hi, all!

We have just released the bugfix release for Krita 5.3.1. As with the
previous version, this is a dual-version release, we use the exactly the
same tarball to build two versions of Krita:

* 5.3.1 -> built with Qt5 (considered stable)
* 6.0.1 -> built with Qt6 (considered unstable)


Official announcement:

https://krita.org/en/posts/2026/krita-5.3.1-released/


Download from:

* 5.3.1: https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/5.3.1/
* 6.0.1:https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/6.0.1/
* source tarballs are located at the 6.0.1 directory only! Both versions
use the same source tarball.


Note for Linux distribution maintainers:

If your distribution ships PyQt6 and PyQt5 at the same time, you might need
to apply the following patch to Krita source when building the packages:
https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/2723
It should resolve the startup issues caused by the Python incompatibility,
we just didn't manage to test this patch in time for the release.
