This week, we want to release Krita 2.9.7.0, with lots of bug fixes and some new features. I've already made builds and I'd love to have some testing, since i had to redo the entire build system this time...

Check the 2.9.7.0 builds in http://files.kde.org/krita/windows, please!

Note: rebuild kdelibs to save settings in krita instead of .krita

love the new icons in 2.9.7! looks so good!
Down to business;
-when using transform tool in it gets an err message "sorry, Krita was built without the support of GNU scientific library, so you cannot scale the selection with handles. Please compile Krita with GNU Scientific Library support, or use options widget for editing scale values manually."

Love what you guys do keep at it!

The signal blocking against that crash in the color space browser means the fill description box doesn't get updated any more. On both linux and windows.

EDIT: The whole fill description function isn't triggered anymore.

Hi Boud,

Just downloaded both the latest builds: 32 bit and 64 bit - zip version.
Both installed on Windows 7 - 64 bit with the option OpenGL ON.

Everything looks fine apart from this bug:
- rotate a jpeg image, no matter what (in essence, layer > rotate > rotate layer > 90 left OR right), crops the upper and lower part of the image after its rotation.
In short, the image is rotated but a crop is applied to this jpeg image as well. Consequently, you lose both its upper-lower sides



Everything works fine only when I rotate 180° my jpeg images.

This bug occurs on the 2.9.6 version (64 bit .msi version) too and it looks to me ( ? ) like it is nor reported on the KDE bug-tracker yet.

EDIT:
Just checked on Kubuntu 15.04 (KDE desktop) with Krita 2.9.6 (lime ppa by Dmitry) and this bug occurs on Linux as well.
Every jpeg I try is always cropped after its rotation (90°).
BTW, with the ppa package the GIT version is not available in the box window (Help > Krita).

*buntu packages never have the git number, because they get rebuilt from tarballs (it's a very old-fashioned system). The jpeg issue apparently is older; the other things (settings save location, missing gsl, updating of the color selector, I'll have to look at tomorrow.

Conclusion: making the packages available early, for testing, was not a bad idea

Using the .zip download and trying to launch krita. This is the first build I've had this error on, and I've tried installing Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 to fix it with no luck. (One of the suggested methods when googling that error.)

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

The error also appears on the msi installer version. I'm not sure if it's a problem on my end or not, because recent older versions of krita all load up just fine for me? (I prefer the zip versions because for whatever reason, it seems to run faster for me personally, and it's faster to put on my computer.)

Can I install these new builds alongside my current version?

The zip file version, yes, but those won't help to detect the msvc runtime issues -- but noxernia just found those...

I get similar message MSVCP110.dll is missing. Its not a problem on my end, right?

win7 64bit .zip

I didn't try the .msi for obvious reasons. good luck with the fix.

Ah, with the zip files, there are no runtime libraries, so that's not a packaging issue.

* Fixed the color selector issue
* The jpeg rotate issue is actually not a bug... Krita has two rotate options: rotate image and rotate layer. If you're rotating just the layer, the image stays the same. If you then "Trim to Current Layer, the image will adjust itself. It looks a bit weird if you've only got one layer, I guess...

Now it's time to reboot to Windows and see what I can do there.

Did anyone test the x86 package? I don't have a 32 bits windows around anymore, so I cannot check whether it works....

I tried the .msi, same error message MSVCP120.dll missing.

Running Win 7 64bit.

Well, apparently I built "something" with msvc 2013, that's the MSVCP120.dll missing issue noxernia reported. I need to fix that. MSVCP110.dll missing in the zip package is "normal" -- that's the msvc 2012 runtime which we cannot easily ship in the zip file, it needs to be installed as a redistributable.

Why Microsoft doesn't just push all msvc redists as a matter of course, I don't know...
