Hi!
That's so great news!! :D

The current version of Krita (I have version 2.5 alpha 1) already works pretty fine in my Windows PC, maybe it need a little bit of work to be more stable and smooth as MyPaint 1.0 is, but the many features: brushes, mirror painting, and more (I still wanting to find more time to try them all!) make me to really looking forward in what Krita can become on Windows.

Thanks for all the hard work and best wishes

Hi!

KO GmbH (that's my company) has managed to get a contract with Intel to work on a new version of Krita for Windows. We're calling it Krita Sketch, at least for now, and it'll be totally touch optimized, and probably have a QML gui that reuses Krita internally.. We've got the following items in our work package:

* make krita stable on Windows
* integration with the Windows color management system
* improved psd format, including export
* touch and gesture support
* touch gui
* touch painting

As you can see, plenty of stuff that will be really useful for "regular" Krita, both on Windows and on Linux. I'm really excited about this, not just because it'll allow me to work on Krita way more, but also because I think it'll really mean that by the end of the year we'll have a stable, supported Krita on Windows.

Arjen, me and Silvio will be working on the project, and I'm still looking at ways to use part of the project budget to sponsor Pentalis.

The final application will officially be made available for free through Intel's AppUP store by KO GmbH.

Going from here, I'm looking at ways to make sure KO can make money with Krita to keep the development going, so we can keep supporting Krita on Windows and maybe even expand the team... Any ideas on that topic are welcome!

This is quite simply MAGNIFICENT! :-)

Just out of curiosity.
What do you mean by "free"?

More precisely, will Krita code remain open source (as it is now) or it will be changed to be only "freeware" in the future?

Best regards and THANKS again for this awesome news :-)

Silvio

The Krita Sketch binaries will cost no money (that was a requirement from Intel). We will only make the "official" binaries available through appup. We cannot prevent anyone from creating binaries and offering them for download somewhere else, but I'm happy with using appup since that's a one-stop place for installers that are guaranteed virus-free.

Krita is GPL :-). Fortunately, because I'm Intel otherwise might have wanted the code to be kept closed. So all the code will go into the calligra repository, all the fixes and improvements will also be in the "regular" krita release.
