a084ef367b1a1b189ad11a6300f7e0cadb36354d11bf0368de7048c6a0732229  darktable-2.2.0~rc0.tar.xz

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

• Well over 2 thousand 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 completedy 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, thus the preview, color picker, histogram show the proper results when there is highlight clipping.
• Add undo/redo support for the darkroom

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. 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
• Support the Exif date and time when importing photos from camera
• Rudimentary CYGM and RGBE color filter array support
• Preview pipe now does run demosaic module too, and its input is no longer pre-demosaiced, but is just downscaled without demosaicing it at the same time.
• 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
• 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
• 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).
