When updating from the currently stable 2.6.x series, please bear in
mind that your edits will be preserved during this process, but the new
library and configuration will not be usable with 2.6.x any more, so
making a backup is strongly advised.

Important note: to make sure that darktable can keep on supporting the raw file format for your camera, please read this post on how/what raw samples you can contribute to ensure that we have the full raw sample set for your camera under CC0 license!

We are also conducting an anonymous survey to better understand darktable's users. The goal being a better sense of what point should be worked on for the future. If you can spend 5 minutes answering it will really help the project. http://www.poll-maker.com/QSDGDNJ

Changes since 3.0.0

The Big Ones

  • A new color assessment mode is introduced into the darkroom. This
    mode is designed to ensure proper color perception based on
    ICC recommended (ISO 12646:2008) colour proofing conditions.

  • It is now possible to resize the left and right panels directly with
    the mouse. The positions of each one is remembered for each views'
    layout.

  • Add a focus peaking mode in the lighttable and darkroom. The default
    key to toggle this mode is Ctrl+Shift+F

  • The wavelet denoise profile has a new Y0U0V0 mode. This new mode
    makes it possible to denoise the chroma and luma noise in a single
    instance.

New Features And Changes

  • Add darkroom loading screen.

  • Make modules labels a bit smaller for better UI consistency.

  • Add small rectangle around the angle display when using the
    straightening tool for better visibility.

  • Ensure the different views layout are recorded. Many views (and mode
    like lighttable's culling or darkroom's color assessment), can have
    the filmstrip or timeline bottom widgets, we record the exact layout
    for each view and mode.

  • Add tool tips on module in history.

  • Add support for applying back the last added key-word with a simple
    key short-cut. Default short-cut is Alt+T.

  • Add wide-gamut HLG/PQ based color space P3 and Rec2020.

  • Add custom borders support in framing module.

  • Add standard variables support in watermark module.

  • Allow the same short-cuts to be defined by different modules. This
    makes it possible to have the filmstrip using the same short-cuts to
    set stars as the lighttable.

  • Add log editing support for the L, R, G, B, C, g blending modes.
    This gives more control on the dark pixels.

  • Define many new accels for most of the sliders to allow more control
    using the keyboard.

  • The images operations modules has been extended to support copying,
    replacing and merging metadata.

  • Better visibility for the zoomed image part in the navigation widget.

  • Revert to smooth mode (was default in 2.6) in color zone module.

  • It is now possible to resize the collect module windows with
    Ctrl+Scroll.

  • Add support for compressed LUT (.gmz) in the 3D LUT module.

  • Use a more natural folder order in the collect module, the latest
    folder are now listed first.

  • Module search in darkroom is now case-insensitive.

Bug fixes

  • All valid LUT files are displayed in file selector.

  • Fix straightening in crop and rotate module when flip is applied.

  • The ellipse and gradient masks can now be manipulated when the
    crop and rotate flip is activated.

  • Fix style editing from lighttable. The modules list was empty due to
    an error in SQL statement.

  • Make clicking on group icon easier. The active zone around the group
    icon was too small.

  • Make sure no more than 64 spots are added in spot removal module and
    display a message when the limit is reached.

  • Delay histogram display until the image is fully loaded and so the
    corresponding histogram is ready. Darktable was displaying the
    previously computed histogram for a short period of time.

  • Properly update the XMP when doing undo/redo actions.

  • Fix discrepancies between the SSE/OpenCL local Laplacian code paths.

  • Better performance for tone equalizer's guided filter.

  • Exports should now better respect the final dimensions requested.

  • Fix issues with brush opacity handling.

  • Better performance for computing the aspect ratio.

  • Fix importing of duplicates on Windows.

  • Better visibility of tone curve grid on Grey theme.

  • Better accuracy for the keystone OSD lines.

  • Better performance and accuracy improvements for the waveform histogram.

  • Some HiDPI fixes in icons.

  • The Facebook, Google Photo and Flickr export storage have been
    removed as not supported anymore due to deep changes in the provider
    making it very hard to fix.

  • Fix brush OSD when in zoom mode. The brushes are now keeping thin
    lines.

  • Fix watermark blurring when using rotation.

  • Fix using apostrophe in meta-data.

  • Fix time-line display reporting 61 minutes per hour.

  • Remove wrong presets in RGB-curve module.

  • Fix some duplicate pipe recomputation.
