the github release is here: Release darktable 2.2.0 rc0 · darktable-org/darktable · GitHub.
as always, please don’t use the autogenerated tarball provided by github, but only our tar.xz. the checksum is:
a084ef367b1a1b189ad11a6300f7e0cadb36354d11bf0368de7048c6a0732229 darktable-2.2.0~rc0.tar.xz
Packages for OSX might take a little time as the build environment has to be adapted to the new requirements.
This is not a final release but a release candidate, so make sure to have backups of your darktable settings, library and sidecar files. Also don’t use it if you are on a deadline. Apart from that we are confident that it’s quite stable so please, try it, break it and report bugs!
and the changelog as compared to 2.0.0 can be found below.
- Well over 2k commits since 2.0.0
The Big Ones:
- Add new automatic perspective correction module (A new module for automatic perspective correction | darktable)
- Liquify tool for all your fancy pixel moving (Liquify, liquify? | darktable)
- A new image module to use a Color Look Up Table (CLUT) to change colors in the image (colour manipulation with the colour checker lut module | darktable)
- In Highlight reconstruction module, the mode LCh reconstruction was completedy rewritten, and is no longer useless!
- A new tool, darktable-chart, that goes along with the CLUT module, to create styles for the corresponding module
- Exposure fusion in the basecurve module to lower the dynamic range of images (compressing dynamic range with exposure fusion | darktable)
- Add new raw overexposure indication (Visualizing the raw (sensor) highlight clipping | darktable)
- Darkroom: the preview (in top-left corner) is now no longer pre-demosaiced, thus the preview, color picker, histogram show the proper results when there is highlight clipping.
- Add undo/redo support for the darkroom
Quite Interesting Changes:
- Split the database into a library containing images and a general one with styles, presets and tags. That allows having access to those when for example running with a :memory: library
- Support running on platforms other than x86 (64bit little-endian, currently ARM64 only) (Running on non-x86 platforms | darktable)
- darktable is now happy to use smaller stack sizes. That should allow using musl libc
- Allow darktable-cli to work on directories
- Allow to import/export tags from Lightroom keyword files
- Allow using modifier keys to modify the step for sliders and curves. Defaults: Ctrl - x0.1; Shift - x10
- Allow using the [keyboard] cursor keys to interact with sliders, comboboxes and curves; modifiers apply too
- Support presets in “more modules” so you can quickly switch between your favorite sets of modules shown in the GUI
- Add range operator and date compare to the collection module
- Support the Exif date and time when importing photos from camera
- Rudimentary CYGM and RGBE color filter array support
- Preview pipe now does run demosaic module too, and its input is no longer pre-demosaiced, but is just downscaled without demosaicing it at the same time.
- Nicer web gallery exporter – now touch friendly!
- OpenCL implementation of VNG/VNG4 demosaicing methods
- OpenCL implementation of Markesteijn demosaicing method for X-Trans sensors
- Filter-out some useless EXIF tags when exporting, helps keep EXIF size under ~64Kb
- OpenCL: properly discard CPU-based OpenCL devices. Fixes crashes on startup with some partially-working OpenCL implementations like pocl.
- darktable-cli: do not even try to open display, we don’t need it.
- Hotpixels module: make it actually work for X-Trans
Some More Changes, Probably Not Complete:
- Drop darktable-viewer tool in favor of slideshow view
- Remove gnome keyring password backend, use libsecret instead
- When using libsecret to store passwords then put them into the correct collection
- Hint via window manager when import/export is done
- Quick tagging searches anywhere, not just at the start of tags
- The sidecar XMP schema for history entries is now more consistent and less error prone
- Rawspeed: fixes for building with libjpeg (as opposed to libjpeg-turbo)
- Give the choice of equidistant and proportional feathering when using elliptical masks
- Add geolocation to watermark variables
- Fix some crashes with missing configured ICC profiles
- Support greyscale color profiles
- OSX: add trash support (thanks to Michael Kefeder for initial patch)
- Attach Xmp data to EXR files
- Several fixes for HighDPI displays
- Use Pango for text layout, thus supporting RTL languages
- Many bugs got fixed and some memory leaks plugged
- The usermanual was updated to reflect the changes in the 2.2 series
Changed Dependencies:
- CMake 3.0 is now required.
- In order to compile darktable you now need at least gcc-4.7+/clang-3.3+, but better use gcc-5.0+
- Drop support for OS X 10.6
- Bump required libexiv2 version up to 0.24
- Bump GTK+ requirement to gtk-3.14. (because even debian stable has it)
- Bump GLib requirement to glib-2.40.
- Port to OpenJPEG2
- SDL is no longer needed.
A special note to all the darktable Fedora users: Fedora-provided darktable packages are intentionally built with Lua disabled. Thus, Lua scripting will not work. This breaks e.g. darktable-gimp integration. Please bug Fedora. In the mean time you could fix that by self-compiling darktable (pass -DDONT_USE_INTERNAL_LUA=OFF to cmake in order to enable use of bundled Lua5.2.4).
