We’re proud to announce the new feature release of darktable, 5.0.0!

The github release is here: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-5.0.0.

To build from source, do not use the autogenerated tarball provided by GitHub on the release page, download our tar.xz file instead. If you’re just building for yourself without creating a package for some distribution, then using source code cloning in git is an even more convenient way.

Awesome, thanks to everyone involved! :slight_smile:

Two quick questions:

  1. How can I select the camera profiles?
  2. Any chance to get face recognition in darktable?

I join the ranks of grateful users who thinks that Christmas Night came early this year too, and appreciate all the development work done. Thanks to all!

The new splash screen illustration states version 5.1.0 …

Always the best of the Christmas presents!

And this time with my own small contribution: the lighttable can now scroll smoothly instead of jumping row-by-row. (Which wasn’t mentioned in the changelog :cry:, but you can enable it with a setting)

This is because I had to use the developer version to prepare the article days before official release … will give a hint in the article.
And: should be better now …

Compiled many versions in the past, but the last two releases I was not able to do this any more because of errors I could not resolve as non developer - this time I did not try because of time restrictions.

A great Xmas present. Thank you!

Sorry about that. I have also forgotten the new filmstrip UX I have implemented, so there is nothing personal :slight_smile:

Once again a big thank you for keep improving darktable - it is a wonderful piece of software.

I have it running on ubuntu 24.04 now, by using my updated compile script.
If interested in the script, head over here: GitHub - per2jensen/dt-on-ubuntu: Darktable on Ubuntu, scripts for compiling DT on a specific Ubuntu version

Merry christmas to all :slight_smile:

Once again, many thanks to the developers and all those who in one way or another have contributed to the development of this new version, and to all those who have generously dedicated their time to create and constantly improve this excellent RAW developer.

The world is divided between those who know the code and those who do not. Those of us who, like me, don’t have the skills to program, are very grateful to those who can.

This is an excellent Christmas present. Thank you.

Greetings from La Habana, Cuba.
