Alright, tis is the main release task for 3.2! 3.2 is gonna be super exciting because we finally have the solution to two big worries:

1. G'MIC will now communicate with Krita via the G'MIC QT plug-in! Our previous plug in was pretty darn cool, but it required that we build gmic itself. And a lot of things went awry with that.
2. Touch painting is back! A whole lot of people with touch based laptops can now fingerpaint with Krita itself.

If you have more exciting things to note about this release, feel free to add a comment! If you have finished a task, add a comment as well!
