A month and a half after the previous 5.2.14 update, Krita, a popular open-source, cross-platform digital painting app, has just released a bugfix update, v5.2.15.

Several critical crashes have been resolved, including failures triggered by using the smudge brush, undoing liquify operations, and loading documents with faulty embedded color profiles. The update also fixes problems when opening TIFF files that use JPEG compression.

Input handling sees multiple refinements. Shortcut conflicts between the Transform and Move tools and the Timeline have been corrected, touch events are now handled more reliably, and unwanted menu activations caused by touch scrolling have been prevented.
