We are happy to announce that almost after one year darktable 1.6 has just been released. The release notes and relevant downloads can be found attached to this git tag: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-1.6.0 Please only use our provided packages (green buttons tar.xz and dmg) not the auto-created tarballs from github (grey buttons, zip and tar.gz). The latter are just git snapshots and will not work! Here’s the direct link to tar.xz: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/download/release-1.6.0/darktable-1.6.0.tar.xz

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:

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!

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):

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.

As most of you probably noticed by now, we released 0.9.3. The tar file can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/0.9/darktable-0.9.3.tar.gz/download Pascal updated his ppa for ubuntu here: https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-release or https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-release-plus (with Exiv2 0.22, and Lensfun 0.2.5 + lens data from svn). and made great new screencasts explaining a couple of features and differences to 0.9.2. You can find them on our resources page or Pascal’s website It is a comparatively minor update to our stable 0.
