hey all,
as announced before, we just packaged 1.4rc1 for more testing before
releasing 1.4 proper in a few weeks.
we've got tarballs:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4~rc1.tar.xz/download
macintosh dmg:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4~rc1.dmg/download
and pascal's ppa has been updated, too.
preliminary release notes are (also see RELEASE_NOTES in git/tarball):
- darktable now integrates a lua engine that allows writing scripts to make
it easier to use with other image processing software. These scripts can be
run when a particular event takes place (for example when a new image is
imported) or when a particular keyboard shortcut is used. There are very
few scripts available at this point but we expect the community to provide
some more during the next release cycle.
- darktable now include several kinds of drawn masks: brush, circle,
ellipse, path and gradients
- exporting in WebP format
- serious speed enhancements of lighttable when using large colections
- focus detection on lighttable
- local cached copies of images for offline files
- a few new blend mode like "HSV lightness", "HSV color", "Lab lightness"
and "Lab color"
- new modules "contrast brightness saturation", "color balance" and "color
mapping" which replaces the now deprecated "color transfer" module
- new histogram mode "waveform"
- added a setting to automatically collapse modules to only have a single
one expanded
- better user experience for bauhaus sliders: the popup now has a blinking
cursor to make possible text entry more discoverable
- the text entry for bauhaus sliders and vimkeys' ":set" command can now
evaluate mathematical expressions
- many bug fixes and small improvements
- a tool for measuring basecurves from a sample image
- updated usermanual
- darktable now requires Gtk+ in version >= 2.24, Glib in version >= 2.30
