merry xmas :)
thanks to houz who was pushing hard for this, we have another release out:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/darktable-1.4.tar.xz/download
it comes with a very organised RELEASE_NOTES file, which reads like this:
release notes for darktable 1.4
==========================================================================================
- 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
- additional logarithmic mode for editing the basecurve
- many bug fixes and small improvements
- a tool for measuring basecurves from a sample image
- a tool to check the system's color management setup. call cmake with
-DBUILD_CMSTEST=On to build and install it. packagers probably want
that.
- updated usermanual
- darktable now requires Gtk+ in version >= 2.24, Glib in version >= 2.30
Known bugs
