DigiKam has been updated with a new version following five months of intensive bug-triage and maintenance.
digiKam 8.2.0 is released
Dear digiKam fans and users,
After five months of active maintenance and long bugs triage, the digiKam team is proud to present version 8.2.0 of its open source digital photo manager.
See below the list of most important features coming with this release.
- Libraw : Updated to snapshot 2023-11-21
- Bundles : Updated Exiv2 to last 0.28.1 release
- Bundles : Updated ExifTool to last 12.70 release.
- Bundles : Linux and macOS uses KF5 framework to last 5.110
This version arrives with a long review of bugzilla entries. Long time bugs present in older versions have been fixed and we spare a lots of time to contact users to validate changes in pre-release to confirm fixes before to deploy the program in production.
The application internationalization has also been updated. digiKam and Showfoto are proposed with 61 different languages for the graphical interface. Go to Settings/Configure Languages dialog and change the localization as you want. Applications need to be restarted to apply changes. If you want to contribute to the internationalization of digiKam, please contact the translator teams, following the translation how-to. The statistics about translation states are available here.
Thanks to the translators who have worked on the online documentation internationalisations. You can read and search over the document here. You are welcome to contribute to application handbook translations following the coordination team instructions.
