You need hardware that supports OpenGL 4.5 and above to be able to run Our Paint correctly. If you encounter erroneous displays, try starting Our Paint using this method:
./OurPaint --gl-version=4.5 # Replace this with the highest version your hardware is capable of.
If you have discrete video card installed in your computer, please make sure to configure in your operating system that Our Paint should run with the discrete video card.
If you can't re-launch the program after crash, remove preferences.udf.
Caution: Our Paint canvas on android only supports 8bit/channel (as opposed to 16 on desktop).
Files saved by desktop and android version of Our Paint are compatible with each other. Our Paint will down-convert colors to 8 bit when reading files on android, which reduces precision, keep this in mind when you plan to share files between desktop and android.
Our Paint now has an official icon :D
CMYK soft proofing is now supported, you can preview out-of-gamut colors for printing on screen. At the moment a modified color matrix based on SWOP_V2 is used. Users would also be allowed to import icc profiles for soft proofing in the future.

Our Paint is now capable of writing project files with multiple threads, it's much faster than before. This feature is off by default, and can be enabled in the user preferences. If you found it to be unstable or you don't have adequate memory, you can just turn that option off.
