digiKam 6.2.0 is released

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. This complexity, and the associated difficulty and commitment required to continue full support over time, has led to the development of applications specifically created only to support Raw files.

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!!!
