Can we restore the text?

I’m assuming “feature release” means “bug fix release” for this one!

Thanks everyone involved for your excellent work!

Indeed, fixed in darktable.org announce and GitHub.

Also, why the two arm64 packages for macOS? @zisoft

Hi.
This version have Camera support for Canon EOS R6 ?

Welcome! The R6, yes (but not Mark II).

Also, why the two arm64 packages for macOS?

The darktable-4.6.1-arm64.dmg is the package officially built on github runners. It requires at least macOS 14.

Let’s KISS to avoid confusion and only use one release workflow (AFAIK we don’t have an “official” release one on GitHub yet, therefore it should be your local/manual one as usual) and one package per platform, please.

@Pascal_Obry I think it would be wise to remove this package, and rename the darktable-4.6.1-arm64-macOS-12.5.dmg as the only one supported. Let’s keep the process identical for patch releases, please.

Ouch, any news about the release date for MarkII support ?
Thanks for your reply

as soon Canon R6mII is supported in libraw or rawspeed it will be supported also in the following darktable release …

I found a strange behaviour after updating to 4.6.1; it seems as if the straighten module is always active. Whenever I right-click and drag, in any module, the image is tilted to align with the line I just drawn.
Did anyone else experienced it, or am I doing something stupid?

Seems to be the same for me. Interesting…

Confirmed. Can you start a GitHub Issue?

This has been a feature for several versions now (don’t remember since when exactly). So it’s working as intended.

I didn’t notice it if it was like that in previous versions, but I presume it qualifies as a feature then? It is not a problem, only unusual

Yes this is intentional and working as designed

In the 4.4 release notes (darktable 4.4.0 released | darktable):

A global right-click-and-drag operation has been added to allow image rotation to be corrected without first opening the rotate and perspective module. This operation can be used as long as the currently-focused module does not already use that shortcut for another purpose.

Any idea when the OBS releases get updated?
