Today we are happy to announce a big new feature that we will not only ship with the big 2.0 release later this year but also with our next point release, 1.6.4, which is due in about a week: even more darkroom modules! One of the big strengths of darktable has always been its varied selection of modules to tweak your image.

We are happy to announce the first release candidate for the upcoming darktable 1.6. In case you are wondering about the versioning scheme: we use odd numbers as development versions and even numbers for stable releases. This means the release candidate, tagged as “darktable-1.5.1”, is an unstable development version – the final stable version will bear the tag “darktable-1.6.0”. Grab the tarball and OS X package from the github release page:

Dear all, as we want to release darktable 1.6 some time at the end of the year, it now is the time to announce the string freeze. Please don’t change any UI strings any more, so translators have a chance to catch up. Translators: your updates should be committed to the master branch, there is no branch-off for a stable 1.6 version yet. We should have the first release candidate packed up soon!

hi all, as most of you probably noticed already, we published a point release, 1.4.1. the tarball is here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4.1.tar.xz/download make sure you check the signature: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4.1.tar.xz.asc/download the macintosh computer disk image with signature here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4.1.dmg/download https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4.1.dmg.asc/download this is just a point release, so not really any new features. detailed release notes are as follows: export: consistent names for output formats export to disk: overwrite file option grain plugin now allows smaller coarseness and will display coarseness values half of what they used to be, this is merely a cosmetic change, your images are unaffected.

merry christmas! we’ve got a new release for you: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4.tar.xz/download since we have quite a lot of new features (masks etc, see below), there is an updated usermanual: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-usermanual.pdf/download ubuntu packages are already available in the usual place, and there is a new macintosh disk image: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4.dmg/download more detailed release notes: darktable now integrates a lua engine that allows writing scripts to make it easier to use with other image processing software.

We just packaged darktable 1.4rc1 for more testing before releasing 1.4 proper in a few weeks. We’ve got tarballs, https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4~rc1.tar.xz/download debian packages, https://packages.debian.org/experimental/darktable a Macintosh DMG, https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4~rc1.dmg/download and Pascal’s Ubuntu darktable Unstable PPA has been updated, too: https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-unstable Preliminary release notes are (also see RELEASE_NOTES in git/tarball): darktable now integrates a lua engine that allows writing scripts to make it easier to use with other image processing software. These scripts can be run when a particular event takes place (for example when a new image is imported) or when a particular keyboard shortcut is used.

just a quick plug for torsten’s great new service which allows you to calibrate your lens for lensfun. this will enable you to use darktable’s lens correction module with your lens if it hasn’t been calibrated by others for you yet. all you need to do is take some sample images and upload them here: http://wilson.bronger.org/calibration the page contains some more detailed instructions about which images are useful and which aren’t.

Dear all, we just released another patch version for the stable branch 1.2. As usual you can find the source tarball here: source tarball The Ubuntu PPA has already been updated by Pascal (thanks!), OS X disk image other builds will follow soon We don’t have too many commits to report but since quite some of those we picked concern support of new hardware we decided to release this version comparatively early making it more or less a “hardware release”:

Dear all, we just released a patch version for the stable branch 1.2. As usual you can find the source tarball here: source tarball The Ubuntu PPA has already been updated by Pascal (thanks!), the Mac OSX image will probably take a little longer. We collected almost 150 commits on top of the last release from April, 7 which bring you quite some bugfixes, new noise profiles and white balance settings for several cameras etc.

we released the next feature release (1.2): source tarball user manual macintosh disk image as a feature release, it comes with a lot of new goodies: profiled denoising: adapt to the properties of your camera’s sensor (72 cameras already profiled for you). lightroom import: convert some basic edits from your lightroom collection to darktable operations. multi instance support: duplicate your modules and apply them more than one time with different settings.

The source tarball and OSX image can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.4.tar.xz/download https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.4.dmg/download And the usermanual is still the same. Fixes: keep the styles plugin usable after applying a style darktable should now be better able to import some of the data from .xmp’s from other applications better redraw logic in darkroom mode it should be less likely to get blurry thumbnails in lighttable mode now on low end system use lower quality thumbnails work around some malformed icc profiles add a mandatory cprt tag to our embedded icc profiles prevent adobe rgb related trademark issue some fixes with regard to the colorpicker tooltips should now be more easily distinguisable fix build with new glib versions more assorted small fixes Added preliminary camera support: Nikon coolpix p7100 blackpoint fix Leica basecurve should apply to more camera models now Pentax k-5 ii (s) Nikon 1 j3 Nikon 1 s1 Improved panasonic dmc-g5 support Improved panasonic dmc-lx7 support Improved color rendition: Olympus e-m5 enhanced color matrix (frederic crozat) New white balance presets: Panasonic dmc-g5 (thouks) pentax k-5 ii (s) (jack bowling) sony slt-a77v nikon d3200 nikon d800 update (wolfgang goetz) darktable wouldn’t be where it is now if we weren’t able to depend on the great work of others, in particular we’d like to thank:

Dear all, since March 3 we are in the string freeze phase for the upcoming darktable 1.2 release. This release will be a major new version introducing tons of new features (as you might have guessed by all the blog articles in the last months …). Please don’t push or provide patches with any new translatable strings to master or change them (that’s the ones in _("…") ).

hi, there is a new point release with a couple of smaller updates. source tarball: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.3.tar.xz/download mac disk image: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.3.2.dmg/download and the usermanual is still the same. fixes: check (on build) if glib 2.28 or higher is present don’t sanitize exif when creating hdr dngs colorpicker now disappears immediately when disabling it lens correction now uses loose lens matching (ivan tarozzi) konica minolta dynax 5d rotation fix removed an outdated assertion which could cause a crash in rare cases don’t crash when loading half-corrupted xmps don’t crash when an imported file contains incomplete gps information libjpeg-turbo workaround (klaus post) camera support: preliminary support for the new nikon d5200 white balance presets: sony alpha 700 (update to firmware v4) sony alpha 230 (new) canon eos 650d (new) canon eos rebel t2i (fixed) canon eos m (fixed) enhanced color rendition: konica minolta dynax 5d (wolfgang kuehnel) sony nex 3 (wolfgang kuehnel) sony alpha 230 (wolfgang kuehnel) sony rx100 (josef wells) darktable wouldn’t be where it is now if we weren’t able to depend on the great work of others, in particular we’d like to thank:

Dear all, we just released darktable 1.1.2, a point release (so nothing too fancy) with a couple of bugfixes and better camera support. Additionally it comes with an updated usermanual which is available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-usermanual-1.1.2.pdf/download The tarball can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.2.tar.gz/download and a new disk image for Mac users is provided as well: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.2.dmg/download The various packages for your favourite distro are already on their way. The Ubuntu PPA should be updated already for example, and the opensuse package is available from https://software.

we released a patch release: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.1.tar.gz/download along with an updated usermanual: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-usermanual-1.1.1.pdf/download this resolves a couple of issues with 1.1. so no new features here, but: minor reordering of lighttable mode modules (geotagging, keywords and recent collections) cleaned up the default visible plugins when first starting darktable in most cases raw files will now show thumbnails in the import dialog (thanks to Mattias Eriksson) a curve related crash was fixed (#9906 thanks to James C.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.tar.gz/download this is a feature release, so there is a lot of new stuff: general new camera support, new whitebalance presets, etc., including canon eos m support and samsung nx fix similarity matching search for images that look alike. geotagging, complete with map view (thanks to dinamic for starting that ages ago and to houz for actually bringing it home): “Geotagging in darktable ” mac os package: “Bringing current darktable to OS X ” a lot of bugfixes (mainly thanks to ulrich for his meticulous work) facebook exporter (for those who have an account there) ui reworked the much hated `more plugins' widget (thanks to boucman) image grouping: “Grouping ” command line interface!

i just uploaded the tarball for the second release candidate for 1.1: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1~rc2.tar.gz/download packages for your favourite distros should be in the usual place, mac dmg is here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1~rc2.dmg/download i know there are still translations coming, but something has to be left for the final release after all :) changes since rc1 aren’t many as to be expected, but we’ve got: canon eos m support (new rawspeed, also includes samsung nx fix) usermanual is progressing two new translations (both portuguese … ;) ) reworked the much hated `more plugins' widget (thanks to boucman) a lot of bugfixes (mainly thanks to ulrich for his meticulous work) enjoy!

as commits are easing down a little lately it seems appropriate to push out the first release candidate of the new version: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1~rc1.tar.gz/download [update: mac package is available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1~rc1.dmg/download ] That doesn’t mean this tarball is final or perfect by any means. we’ll probably go on releasing a couple of these on our way to the final release in a few weeks. This will be a feature release, as opposed to the bug fixing point release series 1.

Yes. As of today we are in string freeze for the next darktable version. Version 1.1 will not only contain bug fixes (that too) but a lot of new features. Some of them long-wanted, some of them you haven’t even dreamed about. As usual we follow our release procedure: String freeze (as of now). Translators get time to catch up and it’s a good means to stop overly crazy development to be merged into master A couple of weeks of translating and bug hunting Then we’ll release release candidates again, to enable bread testing even from users who aren’t comfortable with “unstable” packages or git.

After the progress reported in the latest blog post on the OS X port of darktable we now have something new for the Mac users: parafin just released an experimental DMG image of darktable! Please be aware of this being an experimental OS X build as well as experimental software in general – it’s based on the latest development version of darktable that will be darktable 1.1 someday in the future.

It’s our pleasure to announce that darktable-1.0.5 has been released. Find the tarball on sf.net: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.0/darktable-1.0.5.tar.gz/download The Ubuntu PPAs have been built already, you should get them with your next update automatically if you subscribed to Pascal’s PPA. This has a good chance of being the last one in a series of stable releases (with stuff backported from our latest and greatest). Thanks to Pascal for maintaining it! As such, it comes with a short list of maintenance things as change log:

Some Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) users who use Ubuntu’s default Unity desktop environment may have noticed that it’s commonplace for Unity to crash when closing darktable. It so happens that darktable is exposing a bug in Unity, which got fixed upstream with a one-liner patch. The above fix will be available in the next major update of Unity (5.14), but in the meanwhile I cherry picked the relevant patch to the current released version of Unity (5.

Pascal was so kind to tend to a stable branch, the next incarnation of which we have the good fortune to announce. The changes over darktable 1.0.3 are: More robust OpenMP compiler detection code New warming/cooling filter presets for color correction plugin Lighttable thumbnails should be slightly faster and sharper Correctly restore panels when using Tab. Checking if an export target directly is read-only

**Update: **the git repository officially resides in github now. Today we are moving our git repo from sf.net to github, as it was agreed in the developer meeting that took place yesterday. This will happen today 22:00 – 23:00 CEST What should I do now? Depends on the role you play in the project. You have commit rights into current sf.net repository: please open an account in github if you don’t have any and make me know it.

Pascal de Bruijn did some good work backporting some of the progress from git master to the 1.0 release. We packed that into a tarball, here it is: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.0/darktable-1.0.1.tar.gz/download https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.0/darktable-1.0.3.tar.gz/download (We had a problem packaging sources, so 1.0.3 is now on air. Please use it instead of 1.0.1) As usual we have Ubuntu Packages are readily available on Pascal’s PPA, for Lucid, Natty, Oneiric and Precise: https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-release https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-release-plus And these are the major changes:

We are about to move our website to a new server. This will give us a performance boost (e.g. in terms of page loading speed) and might give us the chance to provide some more services in the future. Due to this the comments are closed as of now until everything is in place again. We hope everything runs smoothly – if not, be patient. :) … and I take this as an opportunity to thank PolarFox again for hosting darktable’s website and taking care of all technical server stuff!

It is done, 1.0 is out. I sent out most of the new features with the announcement for 1.0rc2 a few weeks ago already, but for completeness, here it is again: New cameras supported Leica M9 NX100/NX5/NX10/NX11 Panasonic DMC-GX1 Pentax K-r Canon Powershot S100 Olympus XZ-1 Olympus E-P3 Sony DSLR A330 Sony NEX-5N Canon EOS 1000D Canon EOS 600D Sony Alpha 390 Fuji Finepix HS20EXR New and updated translations (we now have chinese!

Our second release candidate is out! We have had a couple of tiny bugfixes, better translations, new rawspeed (brings support for the new Canon 5D Mark3), and slight consistency fixes in the GUI since rc1. You can get the tarball from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.0/darktable-1.0~rc2.tar.gz/download Getting closer!

There are still bug fixes coming, which is good. But nevertheless we just released a release candidate tarball, available for download from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.0/darktable-1.0~rc1.tar.gz/download which will hopefully help us to get rid of the last couple of remaining bugs before 1.0. For install instructions have a look on how to compile from source. This is a rough outline of the changes since 0.9.3 (quite sure we forgot something, it’s been > 1000 commits):

We are in string freeze for the master branch now. Translators might now update their translations for the upcoming release of darktable 1.0 There will be tons of new features, stay tuned! If you’re willing to help getting this out of the door soon you might want to install the development version and help out to track down some bugs. You can find an installation guide here and some informations for contributing backtraces for bugs here.

Stefano Fornari has just released a new version of the book Digital photo development with darktable. Version 1.1.1 is a maintenance update. The release fixes a number of typos and other small editorial changes suggested by the community. Check out the pdf or packaged version and, as usual, send your comments and feedback to the darktable user list.

We are in string freeze for the master branch now. This means that only tiny bugfixes can be accepted, which don’t change any strings, to make sure they don’t break translations. That should lead us to another stable point release, 0.9.3, hopefully in a week or two.

The book Digital photo development with darktable has been released. Check out the pdf or packaged version and, as usual, send your comments and feedback to the darktable user list.

we released version 0.9.2, with a few bugfixes on top of release 0.9.1. this is a new point release in the stable branch thus there are no new features, just updated translations tiling for memory hungry operations and as workaround for old opencl 1.0 drivers new color matrices and white balance presets a lot of stability issues have been resolved a lot of performance improvements (more sse code, better opencl code) new packages are available, check the installation instructions for more infos!

we released version 0.9.1, with a few bugfixes on top of release 0.9. and 184 patches, among them new rawspeed, dcraw, libraw fixed various segfaults and deadlocks the pipeline is now more real HDR (unbounded color management, no more gamut clipping in between) fixed a nasty bug which could cause complete loss of history for an image darktable-faster now plays nicely with darktablerc (non-gconf) lots of opencl improvements updated translations second part of our GSoC: customizable keyboard shortcuts!

we released version 0.9, with many new features: run-time switchable opencl to exploit all the power of your GPU whenever you decide to install the driver many new modules, including a spot removal tool, better denoising (on raw pixels and non-local means) and many more blend operations, overlay your module only 20 percent if you want spot removal tool low light vision tool non-local-means denoising (relatively fast for nlmeans, but still slow) first part of the google summer of code project already merged framing module (adds postcard borders to match given aspect ratio) tonemapping a lot faster now (probably the fastest high-dimensional bilateral filter available today) changed images come with the darktable|changed tag more updates to the page/install instructions to come, but you should be good by just extracting the tarball and typing .

we released version 0.8, which obsoletes 0.7.1 in a lot of ways: much faster image loading due to rawspeed, an awesome new library by klaus post @rawstudio lots of performance improvements in our caches and pixel pipelines (together with the above like 5x–10x) gpu computing using opencl (for graphics boards that support it) for a lot of common modules, to give a huge performance boost overhauled collection module for more flexible image collections metadata editor (set author and copyright information etc) fast demosaicing now done on roi and in floating point HDR bracketing and tone mapping (somewhat experimental) flickr upload new languages: thai and japanese lots of new color matrices and white balance presets lots of bugfixes according to the git log, this release introduces over 900 new commits brought to you by (in order of commits): johannes hanika, Tobias Ellinghaus, Henrik Andersson, Pascal de Bruijn, Ger Siemerink, Bruce Guenter, Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo, Boucman, Alexandre Prokoudine, Simon Spannagel, Olivier, Jochen, Karl Mikaelsson, Jochen Schroeder, Brian Teague, Pascal Obry, calca, Ville Pätsi, Uli Scholler, Thierry Leconte, Pacsal de Bruijn, and Alex Chateau.

we released version 0.7.1, a small bugfix release to fix up some nuisances in 0.7: some more white balance presets layout fixes for overlong profile names styles now actually work extensive documentation in form of screencasts enjoy the release, but be aware that you’ll be missing out on a lot of significant speed improvements and cool new features when using the release instead of git :)

we released version 0.7 this weekend. some of the changes: .xmp is now used instead of .dt for sidecars libraw with dcraw 9.05 plug-ins of darkroom mode are now in groups/tabs new darkroom plug-ins: zone system, relight, graduated neutral density, watermark changes can now be saved into named processing styles initial preferences dialog was added custom shooting settings can be added in tethering mode initial user manual was written, available in english, german, french, dutch, and swedish moved to xdg config file standard languages: ca cs de es fi fr gl it nl pl ru sq sv reset labels: double click the label to only reset this option, not the whole plug-in a cropped image can now be recropped without resetting the whole plug-in (press backspace) lots of new cameras with enhanced support (input profiles and base curves) recursive image import 962 commits since release-0.

finally a new release … it has been so long that i hardly remember all the changes. let’s try to list the most important ones: libraw 0.10.0-beta3 tethered shooting mode import from camera via gphoto2 new, improved modules: vignetting, velvia, grain, denoise (via bilateral filter), color transfer, channel mixer … crop/rotate: straighten tool, perspective correction, guide lines (ported from digikam) lots of new input color matrices and base curves openexr export database format changed, which greatly improves speed (and cuts down used disk memory) film strip view in darkroom mode for quick image switching cool alternative demosaicing algorithms (ported from rawtherapee): dcb, amaze, vcd, c/a autocorrection customizable preset system for all darkroom modules with auto application to matching images, selected by exif reworked export system to modularly support export to picasa webalbum, email, or disk in jpg, png, 8/16-tiff, pfm, exr, or 16-ppm.

features, features, features ;) image tagging flexible database queries by exif and custom tags powerful color zones plug-in, to selectively alter only some colors french translation libraw 0.8.5 new light table mode layout: file manager inotify support tiff 8-bit and 16-bit export new, more powerful widgets to replace sliders and spin buttons (derived from libphat) reworked, fully color managed processing pipeline supplied some useful base curves image cache can now enforce a strict memory limit snapshots: side-by-side comparisons in darkroom mode fixed aspect ratio and horizontal/vertical flipping in crop module spot auto exposure highlight reconstruction white balance presets with fine-tuning (from ufraw) … countless small improvements

as usual, the new release comes with lots of new features: lens defect correction (lensfun) internationalization (russian and swedish translation) backup files for image editing history and tagging (.dt and .dttags) apart from database gconf preferences handling lighttable mode modules libraw 0.8.4 and low-level option interface from dt color filter-based monochrome conversion dt now reads _ICC_PROFILE atom from X server more sophisticated white balance core database layout prepared for tagging system (to come in 0.

there have been some major internal changes in dt since 0.2, and some of them result in cool new features for the user, so it is time to pass it on to the non-git audience. this includes: most processing is now being done in a new color space (L a/L b/L). this results in nicer exposure/tonecurve/denoise/color correction results. the pixel pipeline is now free to change dimensions of the image, which makes a crop/rotate operation (and lensfun in the future) possible.
