## Summary
The Krita development team has released version 5.3.4, which brings video export capabilities to the Android tablet beta. This update also removes the GIMP XCF import plugin due to security issues in its unmaintained third-party library. Additionally, version 6.0.4 has been released as an experimental branch following the transition from Qt5 to Qt6.

## Key changes in Krita 5.3.4
- **Android improvements**: Users can now render animations and export timelapses via the recorder on Android tablets.
- **Plugin removal**: The GIMP XCF import plugin has been deleted because it relied on an unmaintained library with security vulnerabilities.
- **Bug fixes**: Resolved crashes related to Windows image creation, Python plugins, and specific font handling.
- **Platform updates**: Minimum supported macOS version is now 10.15 (Catalina), and 32-bit Windows builds are no longer provided.
- **Stability**: Version 5.3.4 is designated for productive work, whereas 6.0.4 is considered experimental due to the Qt6 migration.

## Why it matters
The removal of the XCF plugin improves the security posture of the application, while expanding mobile capabilities strengthens Krita's presence on Android tablets.
