The new build, as promised:
https://tech.kovacs-telekes.org/dt-agx/Darktable-5.3.0%2B169~g06f0b0b576-x86_64.AppImage
It includes the fix for the auto picker (if you moved the sliders after picking exposure, the scaling was wrong).
It also includes the change I was referring to above: when adjusting gamma, the contrast is scaled internally so the overall (linear) contrast around the pivot stays the same. The overall contrast of the curve still changes, but is much less prone to completely crushing shadows.
No migration is provided; the parameters themselves did not change, the interpretation of contrast, now affected by gamma, did. If you always left gamma alone (no manual or auto adjustment), and used the default 2.2, this change won’t affect your past edits. I’m afraid if you used other gamma values, you’ll have to compensate using the contrast slider.
