Krita 4.2.8 Released & Steam, One Year Later.

Hi. We've got another solid bugfix release for you all, Krita 4.2.8! Here are the patch notes so you can get into the nitty-gritty stuff if you want to. It's really good stuff that should make everything run just a little bit nicer!

It's also been just over a year since we released the full desktop version of Krita on Steam and began to turn things around over here. I think that Krita has collectively learned something from the process, and I've certainly learned a thing or two.

Most importantly, I've learned that when you support your community, your community will support you. I think this is generally true, but when it comes to running a open source and community-driven development model, it's critical. Krita has certainly had its ups and downs on Steam, but I'd like to think that, over the last 12 months, we've been able to live up to our potential, stay true to our word, share what makes us different, and grow our community.

In return, our Steam community has helped to make 2019 one of the Krita project's most successful and productive years ever. We have more people working in various capacities on bigger challenges, we have new development infrastructure, an awesome new community hub ( krita-artists.org ), and, personally, I have a hunch that the best is yet to come.

So, I think I speak for us all when I say that we're really grateful for your support, because without each and every one of us working together to create something for everybody, I just don't think any of this would be possible. Thank you.
