I’ve been very busy lately, so I switched the stable version for what little editing time I had, but I recently had some free time and went to get the latest dev build (September vs Today) and and for some reason, the release build is way behind the debug build. I am running the debug build, but it is just too slow.
Are the devs aware of this and is there fix in the works?
It’s an issue with one of the installer’s languages, the fix is ready to go but needs someone to merge. @jdc authored the latest commits, maybe he can take a look at the PR:
@HIRAM
I just merge the pull request
Thank you
But in Dev after compilation, always the probleme with “Icelandic language”.
Jacques
Yes, the entire Icelandic is no longer supported in InnoSetup 6, so we must comment it out as other projects have done, cf Inno Setup 6 doesn't support Icelandic · jtanx/fontforgebuilds@0ce2042 · GitHub
Thank you @jdc for taking another look,
OK I will perge when system ready 
Thank you
It seems to work now
Thank you
Jacques
It’s good that the Windows executables are working now.
But the problem seems to run deeper than that. Especially when using Pull Requests with available executables, or simply compiling them yourself.
Unless it’s just me, which doesn’t seem to be the case (???). When I launch from the command prompt or from a Pull Request, the system displays “xxx.dll, yyyy.dll, zzz.dll missing.”
I think it’s a problem related to Msys2/Mingw64. Since I updated a week ago, nothing works (before all works fine). I can compile without any problem (so Cmake is fine…), but it’s impossible to run anything.
So I switched to Linux, because developing without being able to run anything is ridiculous… You can’t do anything at all.
I hope someone at Msys2 is aware of this problem.

Update 12 november.
Just for your information, to try and understand where the problem might be coming from.
In the Mingw64 terminal (after compilation), running ./rawtherapee-cli <options> <options>... works without any problems.
If I copy the executable generated by compilation under Mingw64 (Rawtherapee.exe) into the executable folder on GitHub Dev, everything works correctly (so I replace the one already there).
Therefore, it seems that a process in Msys2/Mingw64 that calls the execution DLLs is malfunctioning…(the DLLs in question are present inMsys2/Mingw64), or it’s something else. . But I don’t know which processes are involved.
Hello @jdc
Thanks a lot indeed for these updates!
Where we can find the latest documentation?
If I understood correctly, you are now able to upload your notes regarding the new features thanks to a “Hugo web-site” (a sort of RawPedia…)?
I am particularly interested as regards the improved “capture sharpening” options (e.g. to increase the sharpening with noisy images).
BTW, just download the latest build (RawTherapee_dev_5.12-152-g25f8bb76b_win64_release), on Windows 10, and it runs fine.
I’d like you to have access to the new documentation. It’s a redesign of RawPedia, but with ‘Hugo’.
I have absolutely no idea when it will be online; it should look similar to the Darktable documentation. Perhaps @paperdigits knows a bit more.
Currently, I can’t see the changes I’m making in action (I’m blind to the changes.). I see the same thing that is described below.
I don’t know why ! I’ve installed everything, the latest versions of Hugo, Node.js, npm… but nothing works. Okay, I’m old, slow on the uptake, maybe there’s a solution…But that’s not what will give you users access.
But you can get a preview, without the graphics. In the meantime, you can visit the website linked below on Github
Clich on ‘Contents’, choose the section that interests you, for example Capture_Sharpening, and click on index.md.
But everything contained in this ‘new RawPedia’, including the latest edits, is being read, modified, etc.

I plan to create several examples on Pixls.us, but I don’t know when, showcasing the changes (or at least some of them) I’ve implemented over the past year (September 2024 at least, if not earlier).
Gamut compression.
GHS as a ‘pre-tone-mapper’ (Selective Editing) with, in most cases (not all), ‘Color propagation’
Abstract profile, with ‘Contrast enhancement’ and use of ‘Primaries & Illuminants’ ,‘Dominant color’.
Capture Sharpening and Capture Deconvolution.
Perhaps, what’s new in Selective Editing regarding Color Appearance (CAM16), Denoise, Wavelets Local contrast, etc.
Part of all this is related to the concept of a ‘Game changer’.
But ideally, the documentation would be really accessible; otherwise, it’s going to be complicated. I don’t yet know how I’m going to do this in terms of teaching, with Pixls.us… I don’t plan to use Playraw… We’ll see. I’ve already (partially) chosen some difficult images…
I waited (over a year) to get all the updates together (and not spread across several Pull Requests).
It’s a significant undertaking, made more complex for me by several problems: a) I’m old and in poor health; b) my English is very poor and very bad (I’m really terrible at it). (But nobody’s perfect.). I love the French language and am very attached to it. The differences and nuances of each language are difficult to translate (even with AI); c) I don’t know how (and don’t want to) make videos
Perhaps I’m making a commitment here and I won’t be able to do all of this, please be patient.

Hello @jdc
We’ll see. I’ve already (partially) chosen some difficult images…
Yep. This would be extremely useful.
Most of all, with the corresponding .pp3 file, for every image, in order to learn, thanks to your choices, the “best” setting to apply. Later on, one might experiment
Thanks! It works now.
