When updating from the currently stable 3.6.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 3.6.x anymore.
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](https://discuss.pixls.us/t/raw-samples-wanted/5420?u=lebedevri)
on how/what raw samples you can contribute to ensure that we have
the *full* raw sample set for your camera under CC0 license!
- Almost 3915 commits to darktable+rawspeed since 3.6
- 571 pull requests handled
- 265 issues closed
## The Big Ones
- The keyboard shortcut system has been entirely reworked and
extended to allow you
to control darktable with other devices, for example, MIDI devices
and game controllers. Standard keyboard/mouse shortcuts can now
make use
of mouse movements (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) as well as
multiple
button/key presses and short or long presses/clicks.
Please note that any shortcuts you have previously created are
not transferred
to the new functionality and will need to be redefined in
darktable 3.8.
- New diffuse or sharpen module, allowing you to simulate or to revert
diffusion processes to reconstruct images from lens blur, hazing,
sensor low-pass filter, or noise. It can also be used to simulate
watercolor smudges, increase local contrast, simulate blooming or
apply surface blur. Special rules can be defined to specifically
diffuse across or along edges, as well as to avoid sharpening or
blurring them.
- New scene-referred blurs module, to synthesize motion and lens
blurs in a parametric
and physically-accurate way. This module allows you to define
the motion path or the lens
diaphragm and then generates the corresponding blur.
- Perspective correction module has been renamed to rotate and
perspective
and now allows you to manually define correction settings by
drawing lines
or rectangles on the image (replicating keystone correction
functionality
from the deprecated crop and rotate module)
- Added support for multiple images in the print view. The page can be
filled with multiple areas, each of which can be moved around
and placed on
the page with the ability to snap to a grid for precision.
- A new LMMSE demosaic algorithm has been introduced. This
algorithm is particularly
suited to high ISO and/or noisy images.
- The composition guides from the crop module are now available
globally and no
longer require the crop module to be activated.
- The Canon raw CR3 format is now supported (see list of supported
cameras in the
section below). This support is provided by LibRaw and requires
at least exiv2 version
0.27.4 with BMFF support activated.
- The color checker profiling tool, introduced in darktable 3.4 as
part of the
color calibration module, is now normalized patch-wise in
exposure to discard the effect
of uneven lighting and fall-off when shooting color checkers
hand-held and on-location.
This robustly decreases the residual average dE after
calibration and noticeably
helps to recover natural dark blues while preventing yellow
shifts in highlights.
## Other New Features And Changes
- The denoise (profiled) module now uses wavelets mode by default
and its default
settings in Y0U0V0 mode have been improved.
- Flip buttons have been added to the orientation module
(functionality moved
from crop and rotate).
- Background jobs handling has been removed from preferences.
- Much of the SSE-specific code has been removed, since
compiler-generated code
is usually faster.
- The darktable-generate-cache script now displays filenames and
image IDs.
- File name matches in the collections module are now faster.
- Mask handling is faster.
- Processing module order can now be automatically applied based
on image
properties.
- Folder status is properly refreshed when a mount is changed.
- An area color picker is selectable by using a
<kbd>Right-Click</kbd> in
addition to the existing <kbd>Ctrl+click</kbd> action.
- Substitution variables have been added for image dimensions as
follows:
$(SENSOR_HEIGHT) and $(SENSOR_WIDTH) for the absolute pixel
dimensions of the sensor; $(MAX_HEIGHT) and $(MAX_WIDTH) for the raw
image size; and $(EXPORT_HEIGHT) and $(EXPORT_WIDTH) for the
post-cropping final image size.
- More work on code speed-up in many different routines ensuring
better vectorization and/or OpenMP definition. Notably, the
split-toning, haze removal and soften modules have been improved.
- The "beginner" module group preset now takes the chosen workflow
(display or scene referred) into account.
- The quick access panel now takes the chosen workflow
(display or scene referred) into account.
- New sorting options based on capture, import, modification,
last export and last print times.
- Tooltip for raster mask now includes source module information.
- The following modules have been deprecated:
- Crop and rotate - the features of this module are now shared
between the crop,
orientation, and rotate and perspective modules.
Note that the new crop module is now placed after the retouch
module
to ensure that the full image can be used as a source area.
- A new option has been added to allow you to choose when to start
writing
changes to the XMP sidecar files. Choose to:
(a) never write XMP;
(b) write XMP as soon as the image is imported; or
(c) write XMP only after the user has edited the image in the
darkroom view.
- Timezone entry has been improved in the geotagging module.
- A new preference has been added to choose the number of recent
collections to display.
- Rating support has been added to the collections module making
it possible to create
presets, for example, to select the best images of 2021.
- PNG files are now supported in the watermark module.
- The values in the global color picker module are now selectable
and can be copied
to the clipboard.
- HSV has been added as an option in the global color picker module.
- The color scheme of the timeline is improved.
- The scopes module (previously named histogram) can now be moved
to the
left panel.
- Improved color rendering for waveform and parade scopes.
- A new vertical waveform scope option has been added.
- Live samples can now be displayed in the vectorscope.
- An RYB option has been added to the vectorscope.
- The lut3d module has been moved after filmic in the pixelpipe.
- Minor usability improvements have been made to the tone equalizer,
ensuring that the cursor is shown on focus and the module is
activated on scroll.
- The automatic mask tuning has been improved in the tone
equalizer module.
- New "magic wand" icons are now used for the auto-tune actions in
the tone equalizer module.
- Tiling has been enabled in the color balance rgb, diffuse and
filmic rgb modules
to allow very large images to be processed.
- When scanning for updated XMP files, the synchronization window
has been improved
to offer more choices as to how the database/XMP files should be
updated.
- Added read support for HEIF/HEIC file format.
- Added support for ARM64/Apple M1 as a build target.
- Added a preference to invert the behavior of mouse scroll
up/down on drawn
mask attributes. At the same time, and for consistency, the
scroll-up action has been
set to increase all mask attributes by default.
- Added timestamp in camera import dialog for consistency with the
other
import dialog.
- The current module order is now shown in the module order module
header to
save space in the GUI.
- The "module order" entry is now moved to the end of the
copy/paste dialog
for better usability, as this option is rarely used.
- The split toning module now displays the hue in degrees for
consistency
with other modules.
- Rejected images in the lighttable view are now dimmed for clarity.
- The last selected Piwigo album is now remembered in the export
module.
- For advanced users and developers, OpenCL build options are now
exposed in
darktablerc.
- The collections module now offers some new presets based on
image time to
complement the existing presets based on the import time.
- Add a borderless requirement indicator in the print module when
the user's
selected margins are below the hardware margins.
- Add an option to show all modules in the history within the active
module group regardeless of whether or not they are currently
enabled.
- Add a search box in preset preferences and shortcuts.
- Improved curve handling in filmic. Curve should be easier to
control, as
some side-effects of some parameters on others have been eliminated.
- Add thumbnail preview support for DNG files in import dialog.
- The darktable 3.8.0 documentation now includes four (French, German,
Ukranian, Brazilian Portuguese) translated languages (the first time
complete, translated documentation has been made available on the
release date), fully integrated into darktable's help link
system. Translated versions of the epub and pdf manuals are also
available.
## Bug Fixes
- Multiple memory leaks have been fixed.
- Fixed green equilibration in RCD CPU code path.
- Select the best illuminant for DNG images.
- When trying to enter a view that cannot be used (like the
tethering view
where no camera is attached), make sure to reset the combobox
back to
the previous view.
- Fix calibration optimizations for delta E in the color
calibration module.
- Fix focus peaking, which was in some cases displaying some
random wrong pixels on the borders.
- Fix refresh when pasting the whole or part of history.
- Fix possible uninitialized-data access in RCD demosaic.
- Update metadata fields when applying a preset.
- Fix creation of liquify interpolated path to be closer to what
the user
would expect.
- Multiple Windows PATH-specific issues have been fixed. Also, UNC
path-names are now supported.
- Make sure RAW+Jpeg files keep the same filename during copy &
import.
- Add some consistency to the drawn shape opacity
increase/decrease, which was
working in the opposite way to the other mask controls.
- Invert liquify strength vector rotation for consistency.
- Make metadata and tagging consistent regarding the current
selection.
- Fix some rounding errors in masks with sharp corners, which were
creating
discontinuities in the mask area.
- Fix the image loader flag, which was not properly set at import
time.
- Fix possible wrong setting in Color Calibration when switching from
Jpeg to RAW files.
- Fix a rare but possible wrong White Balance just after importing a
picture or while resetting the development history.
## Lua
- Moved from Lua 5.3 to Lua 5.4.
- Lua API is now 8.0.0.
- Added darktable.print_toast() and darktable.print_hinter() functions
to print toast and hinter messages respectively.
- Added is_altered() field to dt_lua_image data type to determine if
an image has been altered since being imported.
- Added generate_cache() function to the dt_lua_image data type so
that a mipmap cache image can be generated without having to run
darktable-generate-cache.
- Added function darktable.gui.libs.snapshots.clear_snapshots() to
delete any snapshots.
- Added event darkroom-image-loaded that is triggered when an image is
loaded into darkroom view. The image is returned.
- Added event darkroom-image-history-changed that is triggered when an
image history is changed in darkroom view. The image is
returned.
## Notes
- The 3.8.x series of darktable releases will be the last that
supports macOS 10.7 and building with Xcode 11.
The next major release will require at least macOS 10.14 to run and
Xcode 12 to build.
- The modules deprecated in 3.4 have now been removed from the
deprecated module group. The modules affected are: Zone System,
Invert,
Channel Mixer, Global Tonemap, Relight, Tonemap, Vibrance and Basic
Adjustments.
