Current state of affairs:

* settings became confused in this build.
** confirm(by pressing enter), in transform and crop doesn't work
** Top-bar misses actions.
*** Undo freehand brush-stroke is only availeble in file<calligra>, not in
brushes and stuff<krita>
*** The same for zooming, and brush smoothening(!)
** Activate linetool is greyed out in preferences.
** Nor does the pop-up palette, rotate mode, or zoom.(briefly fixed after
building on the 20th, but then randomly dissapeared upon deleting the
kritarc file...)
* many actions are missing from the view-menu(expected?)(grid-actions are
missing)
* Slowdowns on focussing windows/canvases.(gnome thinks it froze and is
asking me whether I would like to kill Krita)
** closing preferences and going to canvas will cause slowdown.
** going between multiple documents will cause slowdown.
** Going to an outside program and coming back in will also cause slowdown.
* Assistants are broken and cause crash.
* Color is randomly not remembered between switching focus-canvas or
tools.(returns to black... mayb have to do with color history being broken.)
* Tiled view works okay.
** However, it gets a little strange when trying to resize the canvas
windows. (asif it's trying to snap constantly)
** Painting between canvases works great, adjusting the navigation between
canvases doesn't(lag)
** Overview docker works great between canvasses, (but again, super-lag on
switching focus canvas)(20th of october didn't fix this)
* Closing a view is super-slow.
* When using subwindows, when Krita is closed down, and then restarted, and
multiple documents are opened, Krita does not recognise that they should be
subwindowed. Nor does it draw tabs. If you select Tiled-view in the windows
submenu, it subwindows them correctly.
* Odd bug: Select a tool(example circle) in one view, paint with it on
another. Then go to the other view, paint again, undo. Go back to first
view, paint, notice that it only uses the freehand brush. No switching of
tools will actually happen in the first view, only in the second.
(sometimes it works the other way around, it seems, the common thread is
that if a tool has been changed in one cnavas, the other canvas doesn't
understand this, and it results in the other canvas not being able to
change tools anymore)
* undoing a selection caused a crash...(not reproducable)
* crash on attempting to show grid!(reproducable, probly missing action)
* Terminal complains about color slider docker being assigned a new layout
constantly(proly my fault)
* Terminal complains about this: krita(2941)
KWidgetItemDelegateEventListener::eventFilter: User of KWidgetItemDelegate
should not delete widgets created by createItemWidgets! (repeated like, 20
times each time you start up Krita)
* Terminal complains about paintop presets: krita(3626)
KisPaintopBox::setCurrentPaintop: current paintop  "Basic_tip_default"  was
not set, not supported by colorspace
* When clicking the new layer button, first we get LAG, then when lag ends,
Krita has added 43 layers.(6 after slangkamp's layer fix)
* Color History is broken (After some debugging, this is because
kis_tool_paint.cc needs to connect a signal to the resource server, but it
can't access the resource server on startup because it accesses it via the
view, and there's no view on startup...)
* Brush-engines are missing from preset-editor.
* Trying to use the quick-selection-mask leads to: ASSERT (krita):
"m_selectionDecoration" in file
/home/wolthera/kde4/src/calligra/krita/ui/kis_selection_manager.cc, line 576
* terminal: kbuildsycoca4(23108)
KBuildServiceFactory::populateServiceTypes:
"/usr/share/applications/shotwell-viewer.desktop" specifies undefined
mimetype/servicetype "image/x-rwl"
* when confirming edits on the toolbar after deleting krita.rc and kritarc,
I end up with a toolbar called 'main toolbar<Krita>', which is filled with
'copy, cut and paste'.(this may be due to krita.rc not being renewed after
delete...)
* Brushes only seem to paint on only one activated layer. Any layers
selected after are being ignored. The selected layer is only used for
drawing if I switch tools.
* The current color widget is missing.(called 'dual' in krita.rc)
* The tools topmenu is sometimes called 'no-text'.
* Krita.rc doesn't get installed in .kde/share/apps anymore, while not
really a problem, if there IS a krita.rc in .kde/share/apps, it gets
preference over the newer krita.rc, which is kinda useless.(may be in
master as well)

---new---
* though ctrl+z is fixed, the canvas-input settings don't always work.
(infact, it breaks upon having multiple canvases)
* When a layer was hidden, but then made visible again, the 'move to
group/move from group' buttons are greyed out until another layer is
selected, and then this layer is selected.
* crash when importing .kpp via resource manager
* crash when importing image as layer.
* Occasionally there's a rogue unconnected zoom-widget in the status bar,
next to the documents own zoom-widget.(not fixed, shows up when you close
an image, and then open a new one.)
* the peuso-infinite canvas doesn't work anymore. (just as I was getting
used to it :( )
* resize the canvas(not the image) to about 200x the width of the original.
Zoom in, notice how you can't get to the edges.
* crash when closing all images in subwindow mode, with all subwindows
maximised.
* Krita becomes really really confused when you delete a load of layer
groups, and then undo them with cumulative undo. (order is confused)
* crash when making flipbook.
**In docker
**In creation menu, multiple files.
**In creation menu, 1 file.
* crash when having an animation with frames opened, making a new generic
document, finding there's still frames of the previous animation in the
animation docker, and then pressing 'play'.
* crash upon making a new regular file. (animation refactor related)
**crash upon opening a regular file.
**Somehow, creating an animation file first will prevent this from
happening on regular files. I suspect something's wrong with the way
animation checks for configuration setting.

---fixed & non-bugs---
* had to empty build for this.
* had to empty trash afterwards.
* Wrap-around mode works well!
* New view works great!
** Undo is shared between views wel!
* crash when using the right-mouseclick(for me assigned to color-picker)
while in a terminal that hovers above a Krita window.(fixed by sven)
* Perspective grid tool works... but it's sublines are not drawn.(fixed by
sven)
* Actions misordered in File as well... (fixed by adding <Merge/> before
seperator in the krita.rc)
* General slowdown on selection and geometric tools. (It tags notably
between confirm and actual drawing, feels similar to the
layer-gui-update-lag that slangkamp had to fix kisview for, maybe it's
trying too hard to figure out on which canvas it's trying to
paint?).(randomly fixed in 20th of october build...)
* As well, the tool options with this bug will be garbled, as if the
tool-options where not switched out, but just painted on top of each
other.(randomly fixed in 20th of october build, may have to do with reset
kritarc/krita.rc)
* crash after deleting kritarc in share/config and trying to configure the
toolbars. (this only happened when there was no active canvas...)(fixed :) )
* * So is the slider-pop-up.(fixed somehow)
* ctrl+z doesn't work. (works after deleting krita.rc in the
share/apps/krita folder, breaks next restart later again, then works after
adding krita.rc to .kde/share/apps/krita again???) (okay, ctrl+z breaking
happens whenever there's two canvases. If one canvas is removed, and on the
singular canvas you doodle, the ctrl+z works again, and then on next
restart is also works with multiple views and... I think I need to do a
careful empirical test of this one)(it seems none of the calligra-shortcuts
are working at all, ctrl+s for example, doesn't work either) (fixed by
boudewijn)

I will post the crash reports in a bit in seperate e-mails!
