When updating from the stable 4.2.x series, please bear in
mind that your edits will be preserved during this process, but the new
library and configuration will no longer be usable with 4.2.x.

You are strongly advised to take a backup first.

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!

Bug Fixes

• Graduated Density : Fix density computation for negative EVs.

• Fixed wrong allocation of OpenCL image buffers for blending in
  DEVELOP_BLEND_CS_RAW.

• Fixed roi_in calculation in highlights and RAW Chromatic
  Aberrations modules.

• Fix snap to grid for cm/inch units in print view. Only mm was
  properly handled.

• Fix issue where the highlight reconstruction method was reset to
  clip when applying a style from the lighttable.

• Fix loading some image format using GraphicMagick on Windows.

• Fix some possible wrong pixels at the lower-right border of images
  due to some miscalculation in Input Color Profile & Color Balance.

• Fix retouch module ROI computation when a crop is active making some
  clone area inactive when the source was outside of the cropped
  area. This bug was only visible in darkroom main view.

• Fix positioning of demosaicer RoI in according to algorithm and
  sensor. Avoid some possible (small) black artifacts on image
  borders.

Notes

• When exporting to AVIF, EXR, JPEG XL, or XCF, selecting specific
  metadata (e.g. geo tag or creator) is not currently possible. For
  AVIF, EXR, JPEG XL, and XCF formats, darktable will not include any
  metadata fields unless the user selects all of the checkboxes in the
  export preference options.

• In order to support the correct display of numbers in darktable, the
  minimum supported Gtk version has had to be increased to
  3.24.15. For people who need to build darktable with an older
  version, this can be achieved by removing line 241 of the
  darktable.css file on your system. See
  #13166.

• Starting with this release a new support policy regarding macOS
  versions will be in place -- darktable releases will now only
  support those macOS versions that are also supported by Apple.
  Release 4.4 therefore drops support for macOS versions older than
  11.3.
