Nice! Two days after I installed 5.3.0-beta because I needed a feature that 5.2 didn't have. Now I can undo all the custom install again to get it from the AUR. (I have not yet succeeded in using that feature effectively.)

> Enjoy the completely new text feature: on canvas editing, full opentype support, text flowing into shapes. Thank you developers! Krita is otherwise great to use, but used to be horrible when working with text. Really looking forward to trying this out.

It seems they finally got past the “final final final” bugfix updates for 5.2. Been waiting for this for a year+ so it’s awesome to see it finally out.
