Dear digiKam fans and users, following the first beta release published in October, we are proud to announce the third and last beta of digiKam 6.0.0, before the final release planed in February 2019.
Last main components updated With the new upcoming 6.0.0 final release, we updated the code and all bundles with last stable versions of Exiv2 0.27 and Libraw 0.19 shared libraries.
The first one is a main component of digiKam used to interact with file metadata, like populating database contents, updating item textual information, or handling XMP side-car for read only files.
