digiKam 6.2.0 is released

![](https://i.imgur.com/yXIstf1.jpg “digiKam 6.2.0-01) Dear digiKam fans and users, We received a lot of excellent user feedback after publishing the second digiKam 6 release in April 2019. We are now proud to briefly announce the new digiKam 6.2.0, a maintenance version which consolidates this feedback and acts as an important phase of this 2-year-old project. New Cameras Supported by Raw Files Engine digiKam tries to fully support all digital camera formats. However, Raw file support is a big challenge.

Congrats to everyone, 6.2.0 is a great release indeed :+1:

Thank you for this new release. It’s remarkable the feedback that you maintain with the community, thru the digikam-users list. And improvements are reaching users more and more faster thanks to use Appimage format to test any change.

Thanks!!!
