The first minor bug-fix release for the best digital painting program comes just one week after the big 4.2-release. That version brought some real performance-improvements and many new features. This minor point release is just a bug-fix release. Most importantly, the undo-list is no longer allowed to grow indefinitely - something which cased Krita to become slow after longer painting-sessions.
Krita version 4.2.0 had some huge improvements. 4.2.1 is just a minor update to that major version. The full list of bug-fixes since the release of Krita 4.2.0 are:
