Hell Froze Over

As you might have read on our news post we finally ported darktable to Windows and intend to support it in the future. At the moment it's still lacking a few features (for example there is not printing support), has a few limitations (tethering requires special drivers to be installed) and comes with its own set of bugs. But overall we are confident that it's quite usable already and hope you will enjoy it. A very special thanks goes to Peter Budai who finally convinced us to agree to the port and who did most of the work.

The Big Ones

A new module for haze removal
The local contrast module can now be pushed much further, it also got a new local laplacian mode
Add undo support for masks and more intelligent grouping of undo steps
Blending now allows to display individual channels using false colors
darktable now supports loading Fujifilm compressed RAFs
darktable now supports loading floating point HDR DNGs as written by HDRMERGE
We also added channel specific blend modes for Lab and RGB color spaces
The base curve module allows for more control of the exposure fusion feature using the newly added bias slider
The tonecurve module now supports auto colour adjustment in RGB
Add absolute color input as an option to the color look up table module
A new X-Trans demosaicing algorithm, Frequency Domain Chroma, was implemented.
You can now choose from pre-defined scheduling profiles for OpenCL
Speaking of OpenCL, darktable now allows to force-use OpenCL for a specific pixelpipe
Xmp sidecar files are no longer written to disk when the content didn't actually change. That mostly helps with network storage and backup systems that use files' time stamps

New Features And Changes

Show a dialog window that tells when locking the database/library failed
Don't shade the whole region on the map when searching for a location. Instead just draw a border around it.
Also in map mode: Clear the search list and map indicators when resetting the search module.
With OsmGPSMap newer than version 1.1.0 (i.e., anything released after that OsmGPSMap version) the map will show copyright info.
Running jobs with a progressbar (mostly import and export) will show that progress bar ontop the window entry in your task bar – if the system supports it. It should work on GNOME, KDE and Windows at least.
Add bash like string replacement for variables (export, watermark, session settings).
Add a preferences option to ask before removing empty dirs
The "colorbalance" module got a lot faster, thanks to SSE optimized code
Make gradient sliders a little more colorful and use them in the white balance module
Make PNG compression level used for exporting configurable
On OSX, load single images from command line or via drag&drop in darkroom mode
Add an option to omit the intermediate tag hierarchy in exported files and only add the last level
In the watermark module, sort the list of SVG files and omit the file extension
Support XYZ as a proofing profile
Local contrast now got a new slider to set the midtone range
darktable got two new helper scripts (those are not installed by default, grab them from the sources): One to purge thumbnails that no longer have an associated image in the database, and a second script that uses inotify to watch a folder for new files to open them in a running darktable instance.
In the curve editors of base curve and tone curve you can now delete nodes with a right click and see coordinates of nodes while editing. Note that you can use keyboard modifiers ctrl and shift to change the precision of your changes
Creating a new instance of a module can now be done with a quick click of the middle mouse button on the multi-instance icon
New darktable installations on computers with more than 8 Gb of memory will now by default use half of that per module
Several background colors and the brush color are now configurable in the CSS
Some new cameras can bump the ISO level to insane highs. We try to follow as good as we can by no longer limiting it to 51200 in the GUI
Base curve and the highlights module now support multiple instances and use blending and masks
Having the 1 key toggle between 1 and 0 stars wasn't very popular with many people. You can disable that extra feature and have it behave like the other rating shortcuts now
You can decide if you want to be asked before resetting the history stacks of images from the lighttable
The grain module was slightly changed to have a more pleasing, photographic-paper like appearance
Using the color look up table module you can now convert your images to monochrome, honoring the Helmholtz-Kohlrausch effect
Some more small improvements were made

Bugfixes

Fix the problem with rating images by accident when moving the mouse while typing an image size in the export module
Fix several oddities in folder and tag mode of the collect module.
Print mode's color profile settings no longer interact with the export module
Update the style lists when importing a style
Fix some bugs with multiple module instances used in a style
On OSX only the main window should be fullscreen, not the popups
Some speedups with VERY big libraries or having A LOT OF tags
Significantly speed up tagging many images
Fix searching locations using OpenStreetMap
Fix partial copies of large files in "import from camera"
Fix a crash in the import dialog when using Lua to add widgets there
Fix some false-positive warnings about another running darktable instance and it having locked the databases
No longer switch to the favourite modules group when duplicating one of its modules
Fix loading of XYZ files
Fix Lab export when the profile was set from the lighttable
Create tmp snapshot files with mode 0600 to stop other people looking at them
Fix several bugs with Wayland. However, there are still issues, so darktable will prefer XWayland
Google deprecated the Picasa Web API so it's no longer possible to create G+ albums
Fix the default for sliders with target not being "red" in the channel mixer
Fix the removing of directories
Make the escape key cancel history dialogs
Block keyboard accels when editing camera controls
Properly delete XMP sidecars
Make sure that the rating set in darktable is used for the exported file, not something set inside the raw file
Don't re-write all XMP files when detaching a tag
Sync XMPs when a tag is removed from the database
Sync XMPs after a tag is attached/detached via the Lua API
Many more bugs got fixed

Lua

darktable now uses Lua 5.3. The bundled copy got updated accordingly
Add dt.print_log. It's like print_error but without the ERROR prefix
Reorder callback parameters for intermediate export image: add the actual image to the parameters of the event
Call lua post-import-image event synchronously
Add darktable.configuration.running_os to detect the OS darktable is running on
New widget type: section_label, adds a label which looks like a section change

Changed Dependencies

CMake 3.1 is now required.
In order to compile darktable you now need at least gcc-4.9+/clang-3.4+, and gcc-5.0+ is highly recommended.
ZLIB is now required for the DNG Deflate compressed raw support.
darktable now uses Lua 5.3

and the changelog as compared to 2.0.0 can be found below.

when updating from the currently stable 2.0.x series, please bear in mind that your edits will be preserved during this process, but it will not be possible to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.0.x any more.

Well over 2k commits since 2.0.0
298 pull requests handled
360+ issues closed

Gource visualization of git log from 2.0.0 to right before 2.2.0: https://youtu.be/E2UU5x7sS3g

The Big Ones:

Add new automatic perspective correction module (https://www.darktable.org/2016/03/a-new-module-for-automatic-perspective-correction/)
Liquify tool for all your fancy pixel moving (https://www.darktable.org/2016/04/liquify-liquify/)
A new image module to use a Color Look Up Table (CLUT) to change colors in the image (https://www.darktable.org/2016/05/colour-manipulation-with-the-colour-checker-lut-module/)
In Highlight reconstruction module, the mode LCh reconstruction was completely rewritten, and is no longer useless!
A new tool, darktable-chart, that goes along with the CLUT module, to create styles for the latter
Exposure fusion in the basecurve module to lower the dynamic range of images (https://www.darktable.org/2016/08/compressing-dynamic-range-with-exposure-fusion/)
Add new raw overexposure indication (https://www.darktable.org/2016/10/raw-overexposed/)
Darkroom: the preview (in top-left corner) is now no longer pre-demosaiced (but just downscaled without demosaicing it at the same time), thus the preview, color picker, histogram show the proper results, especially when there is highlight clipping.

Quite Interesting Changes:

Split the database into a library containing images and a general one with styles, presets and tags. That allows having access to those when for example running with a :memory: library
Support running on platforms other than x86 (64bit little-endian, currently ARM64 only) (https://www.darktable.org/2016/04/running-on-non-x86-platforms/)
darktable is now happy to use smaller stack sizes (no less than 256Kb). That should allow using musl libc
Allow darktable-cli to work on directories
Allow to import/export tags from Lightroom keyword files
Allow using modifier keys to modify the step for sliders and curves. Defaults: Ctrl - x0.1; Shift - x10
Allow using the [keyboard] cursor keys to interact with sliders, comboboxes and curves; modifiers apply too
Support presets in "more modules" so you can quickly switch between your favorite sets of modules shown in the GUI
Add range operator and date compare to the collection module
Add basic undo/redo support for the darkroom (masks are not accounted !)
Support the Exif date and time when importing photos from camera
Input color profile module, when profile is just matrix (and linear curve), is 1/3 faster now.
Rudimentary CYGM and RGBE color filter array support
Nicer web gallery exporter -- now touch friendly!
OpenCL implementation of VNG/VNG4 demosaicing methods
OpenCL implementation of Markesteijn demosaicing method for X-Trans sensors
Filter-out some useless EXIF tags when exporting, helps keep EXIF size under ~64Kb
OpenCL: properly discard CPU-based OpenCL devices. Fixes crashes on startup with some partially-working OpenCL implementations like pocl.
darktable-cli: do not even try to open display, we don't need it.
Hotpixels module: make it actually work for X-Trans
Cmstest tool should now produce correct output in more cases, especially in multi-monitor setups.
Darkroom histogram now uses more bins: use all 8-bit of the output, not just 6.

Some More Changes, Probably Not Complete:

Drop darktable-viewer tool in favor of slideshow view
Remove gnome keyring password backend, use libsecret instead
When using libsecret to store passwords then put them into the correct collection
Hint via window manager when import/export is done
Quick tagging searches anywhere, not just at the start of tags
The sidecar XMP schema for history entries is now more consistent and less error prone
Rawspeed: fixes for building with libjpeg (as opposed to libjpeg-turbo)
Give the choice of equidistant and proportional feathering when using elliptical masks (shift+click)
Add geolocation to watermark variables
Fix some crashes with missing configured ICC profiles
Support greyscale color profiles
Lens correction module: switched back to normal Lensfun search mode for lens lookups.
Make sure that proper signal handlers are still set after GM initialization...
OSX: add trash support (thanks to Michael Kefeder for initial patch)
Attach Xmp data to EXR files
Several fixes for HighDPI displays
Use Pango for text layout, thus supporting RTL languages
Feathering size in some mask shapes can be set with shift+scroll
Many bugs got fixed and some memory leaks plugged
The usermanual was updated to reflect the changes in the 2.2 series
Tone curve: mode "automatic in XYZ" mode for "scale chroma"
Some compilation fixes

Lua specific changes:

All asynchronous calls have been rewritten
- the darktable-specific implementation of yield was removed
- darktable.control.execute allows to execute some shell commands without blocking Lua
- darktable.control.read allows to wait for a file to be readable without blocking Lua
- darktable.control.sleep allows to pause the Lua execution without blocking other Lua threads
darktable.gui.libs.metadata_view.register_info allows to add new field to the metadata widget in the darkroom view
The TextView widget can now be created in Lua, allowing input of large chunks of text
It is now possible to use a custom widget in the Lua preference window to configure a preference
It is now possible to set the precision and step on slider widgets

Changed Dependencies:

CMake 3.0 is now required.
In order to compile darktable you now need at least gcc-4.7+/clang-3.3+, but better use gcc-5.0+
Drop support for OS X 10.6
Bump required libexiv2 version up to 0.24
Bump GTK+ requirement to gtk-3.14. (because even debian stable has it)
Bump GLib requirement to glib-2.40.
Port to OpenJPEG2
SDL is no longer needed.
Remove gnome keyring password backend

Usermanual has been updated, and will be released shortly after.

darktable-2.2.0rc3 Pre-release

Pre-release

this is release candidate number four for darktable 2.2.0.

as always, please don't use the autogenerated tarball provided by github, but only our tar.xz. the checksum is:

f7b9e8f5f56b2a52a4fa51e085b8aefe016ab08daf7b4a6ebf3af3464b1d2c29  darktable-2.2.0~rc3.tar.xz

and the changelog as compared to 2.0.0 can be found below.

Well over 2k commits since 2.0.0

The Big Ones:

Add new automatic perspective correction module (https://www.darktable.org/2016/03/a-new-module-for-automatic-perspective-correction/)
Liquify tool for all your fancy pixel moving (https://www.darktable.org/2016/04/liquify-liquify/)
A new image module to use a Color Look Up Table (CLUT) to change colors in the image (https://www.darktable.org/2016/05/colour-manipulation-with-the-colour-checker-lut-module/)
In Highlight reconstruction module, the mode LCh reconstruction was completely rewritten, and is no longer useless!
A new tool, darktable-chart, that goes along with the CLUT module, to create styles for the latter
Exposure fusion in the basecurve module to lower the dynamic range of images (https://www.darktable.org/2016/08/compressing-dynamic-range-with-exposure-fusion/)
Add new raw overexposure indication (https://www.darktable.org/2016/10/raw-overexposed/)
Darkroom: the preview (in top-left corner) is now no longer pre-demosaiced (but just downscaled without demosaicing it at the same time), thus the preview, color picker, histogram show the proper results, especially when there is highlight clipping.

Quite Interesting Changes:

Split the database into a library containing images and a general one with styles, presets and tags. That allows having access to those when for example running with a :memory: library
Support running on platforms other than x86 (64bit little-endian, currently ARM64 only) (https://www.darktable.org/2016/04/running-on-non-x86-platforms/)
darktable is now happy to use smaller stack sizes (no less than 256Kb). That should allow using musl libc
Allow darktable-cli to work on directories
Allow to import/export tags from Lightroom keyword files
Allow using modifier keys to modify the step for sliders and curves. Defaults: Ctrl - x0.1; Shift - x10
Allow using the [keyboard] cursor keys to interact with sliders, comboboxes and curves; modifiers apply too
Support presets in "more modules" so you can quickly switch between your favorite sets of modules shown in the GUI
Add range operator and date compare to the collection module
Add basic undo/redo support for the darkroom (masks are not accounted !)
Support the Exif date and time when importing photos from camera
Input color profile module, when profile is just matrix (and linear curve), is 1/3 faster now.
Rudimentary CYGM and RGBE color filter array support
Nicer web gallery exporter -- now touch friendly!
OpenCL implementation of VNG/VNG4 demosaicing methods
OpenCL implementation of Markesteijn demosaicing method for X-Trans sensors
Filter-out some useless EXIF tags when exporting, helps keep EXIF size under ~64Kb
OpenCL: properly discard CPU-based OpenCL devices. Fixes crashes on startup with some partially-working OpenCL implementations like pocl.
darktable-cli: do not even try to open display, we don't need it.
Hotpixels module: make it actually work for X-Trans
Cmstest tool should now produce correct output in more cases, especially in multi-monitor setups.
Darkroom histogram now uses more bins: use all 8-bit of the output, not just 6.

Some More Changes, Probably Not Complete:

Drop darktable-viewer tool in favor of slideshow view
Remove gnome keyring password backend, use libsecret instead
When using libsecret to store passwords then put them into the correct collection
Hint via window manager when import/export is done
Quick tagging searches anywhere, not just at the start of tags
The sidecar XMP schema for history entries is now more consistent and less error prone
Rawspeed: fixes for building with libjpeg (as opposed to libjpeg-turbo)
Give the choice of equidistant and proportional feathering when using elliptical masks (shift+click)
Add geolocation to watermark variables
Fix some crashes with missing configured ICC profiles
Support greyscale color profiles
Make sure that proper signal handlers are still set after GM initialization...
OSX: add trash support (thanks to Michael Kefeder for initial patch)
Attach Xmp data to EXR files
Several fixes for HighDPI displays
Use Pango for text layout, thus supporting RTL languages
Feathering size in some mask shapes can be set with shift+scroll
Many bugs got fixed and some memory leaks plugged
The usermanual was updated to reflect the changes in the 2.2 series
Tone curve: mode "automatic in XYZ" mode for "scale chroma"
Some compilation fixes

Lua specific changes:

All asynchronous calls have been rewritten
- the darktable-specific implementation of yield was removed
- darktable.control.execute allows to execute some shell commands without blocking Lua
- darktable.control.read allows to wait for a file to be readable without blocking Lua
- darktable.control.sleep allows to pause the Lua execution without blocking other Lua threads
darktable.gui.libs.metadata_view.register_info allows to add new field to the metadata widget in the darkroom view
The TextView widget can now be created in Lua, allowing input of large chunks of text
It is now possible to use a custom widget in the Lua preference window to configure a preference
It is now possible to set the precision and step on slider widgets

Changed Dependencies:

CMake 3.0 is now required.
In order to compile darktable you now need at least gcc-4.7+/clang-3.3+, but better use gcc-5.0+
Drop support for OS X 10.6
Bump required libexiv2 version up to 0.24
Bump GTK+ requirement to gtk-3.14. (because even debian stable has it)
Bump GLib requirement to glib-2.40.
Port to OpenJPEG2
SDL is no longer needed.

darktable 2.2.0 rc1 Pre-release

Pre-release

we're proud to announce second release candidate of darktable 2.2.0, with some fixes over the previous release candidate. the most important one might be bringing back read support for very old xmp files (~4 years).

as always, please don't use the tarball autogenerated by github, but only our .tar.xz with the following sha256sum:

0612163b0020bc3326909f6d7f7cbd8cfb5cff59b8e0ed1a9e2a2aa17d8f308e  darktable-2.2.0~rc1.tar.xz

Allow using modifier keys to modify the step for sliders and curves. Defaults: Ctrl - x0.1; Shift - x10
Allow using the [keyboard] cursor keys to interact with sliders, comboboxes and curves; modifiers apply too
Support presets in "more modules" so you can quickly switch between your favorite sets of modules shown in the GUI
Add range operator and date compare to the collection module
Add basic undo/redo support for the darkroom (masks are not accounted !)
Support the Exif date and time when importing photos from camera
Input color profile module, when profile is just matrix (and linear curve), is 1/3 faster now.
Rudimentary CYGM and RGBE color filter array support
Nicer web gallery exporter -- now touch friendly!
OpenCL implementation of VNG/VNG4 demosaicing methods
OpenCL implementation of Markesteijn demosaicing method for X-Trans sensors
Filter-out some useless EXIF tags when exporting, helps keep EXIF size under ~64Kb
OpenCL: properly discard CPU-based OpenCL devices. Fixes crashes on startup with some partially-working OpenCL implementations like pocl.
darktable-cli: do not even try to open display, we don't need it.
Hotpixels iop: make it actually work for X-Trans

Some More Changes, Probably Not Complete:

Drop darktable-viewer tool in favor of slideshow view
Remove gnome keyring password backend, use libsecret instead
When using libsecret to store passwords then put them into the correct collection
Hint via window manager when import/export is done
Quick tagging searches anywhere, not just at the start of tags
The sidecar XMP schema for history entries is now more consistent and less error prone
Rawspeed: fixes for building with libjpeg (as opposed to libjpeg-turbo)
Give the choice of equidistant and proportional feathering when using elliptical masks (shift+click)
Add geolocation to watermark variables
Fix some crashes with missing configured ICC profiles
Support greyscale color profiles
OSX: add trash support (thanks to Michael Kefeder for initial patch)
Attach Xmp data to EXR files
Several fixes for HighDPI displays
Use Pango for text layout, thus supporting RTL languages
Feathering size in some mask shapes can be set with shift+scroll
Many bugs got fixed and some memory leaks plugged
The usermanual was updated to reflect the changes in the 2.2 series

Changed Dependencies:

CMake 3.0 is now required.
In order to compile darktable you now need at least gcc-4.7+/clang-3.3+, but better use gcc-5.0+
Drop support for OS X 10.6
Bump required libexiv2 version up to 0.24
Bump GTK+ requirement to gtk-3.14. (because even debian stable has it)
Bump GLib requirement to glib-2.40.
Port to OpenJPEG2
SDL is no longer needed.

A special note to all the darktable Fedora users: Fedora-provided darktable packages are intentionally built with Lua disabled. Thus, Lua scripting will not work. This breaks e.g. darktable-gimp integration. Please bug Fedora. In the mean time you could fix that by self-compiling darktable (pass -DDONT_USE_INTERNAL_LUA=OFF to cmake in order to enable use of bundled Lua5.2.4).
