Thanks for your report!

The issue with zooming in is known and will be fixed in the next released version of Krita.
I'm unaware of the issue with rotation, however. Was rotation using the tablet's wheel working for you in the past while using Krita?

As for the zoom issue, you should be able to work around it by following these steps:
1. Open Krita
2. From the menu bar, click "Settings", then click "Configure Krita"
3. On the left panel of the settings, click "Keyboard Shortcuts
4. On the right panel of the settings, navigate to the row for "Zoom In" (you should find it within the "Menu" -> "View" group)
5. Double-click on either one of the "Shortcut" or "Alternate" shortcut spots for "Zoom In"
6. A small popup should appear that lets you change the shortcut. Click the button to set a custom shortcut within that popup. The spot you clicked should now say "Input..."
7. Turn the tablet's scroll wheel in the "zoom in" direction.

The shortcut should now be set to "Ctrl++", and zooming in with the tablet should work.
