Layered animation export/import

[Wolthera]

I can't say much about the animation bits, but if you are intent on using
ubuntu, go for 15.10, or follow the instructions in the 3rd party
folder.(Which involve building QT5 and KF5 locally.)

api docs for qt are a google away: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/
this is the krita doxygen:
http://api.kde.org/bundled-apps-api/krita-apidocs/index.html
this is the cat guide for building krita 2.9:
http://www.davidrevoy.com/article193/guide-building-krita-on-linux-for-cats
this is the guide for 3.0: https://community.kde.org/Krita/linuxbuild
and while I am at it, the developer links:
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=288&t=125955

Main devs use qt creator for writing, terminal for building.
I myself use kate and occasionally gedit for writing, and also the terminal
for building.

But remember that writing in c++ in Krita is not at all the same as writing
python in blender, it's more like writing C in blender. Meaning that you
are doing a different kind of development now, and it might be that you
find that a lot of things aren't as nicely documented as with a python api.
It is this kind of switch which trips up many a google summer of code
student.

It's therefore recommended to stay calm and read the code carefully. You
should also come and say hi on IRC (#krita on freenode), so that you can
ask the smaller and sillier questions quickly.
