Today, it was found that the brush tool draws nothing when set to the size 1x1. This is due to a bug present in Qt 3.0 and 3.1 (specifically, drawing 1x1 ellipses does not work).

The bug affects most users of KolourPaint 1.0.1 (those with Qt 3.0 or 3.1). Users of Qt 3.2 (and/or KolourPaint 1.0.0) are not affected.

A patch (brush_1x1_kolourpaint-1.0.1.diff) is available for download.

KolourPaint - the easy-to-use paint program for KDE - has been backported to KDE 3.0 & 3.1. So if you couldn't compile or install KolourPaint 1.0 because you were stuck with a pre-KDE 3.2 installation, then this 1.0.1 release is for you. Source code and Mandrake packages are available for immediate download.

Existing users of KolourPaint are encouraged to update to 1.0.1 as it fixes a text pasting bug (dependent on the version of Qt).

KolourPaint 1.0 - the first stable version of the easy-to-use paint program for KDE - has been released. KolourPaint makes user-friendly painting and image editing a reality for the desktop user.

Features include undo/redo, more than a dozen tools, selections, transparent image editing and zoom support (with an optional grid and thumbnail).
