Once again thanks for producing this fabulous program. A question regarding depreciation of PPA support for older version of Ubuntu, and by the way big thanks to Pascal for creating the PPAs, I am sure it is no small task.
I originally read the last point of the notes that the PPA would only support 14.04 and onwards then I reread and thought that Darktable itself would support only 14.04 and on, please could you clarify which. Is there a fundamental change in Ubuntu that forces this, on the face of it dropping support for all previous versions seems a little drastic Personally I am still running the old LTS (12.04) and was hoping to hang on to it a little longer, loss of Darktable updates is one of the few things that would push me to upgrade sooner rather than later so for my own curiosity I would appreciate a very short summary of the rational. By the way I do appreciate that supporting multiple Ubuntu versions may be very difficult and dropping anything that is past its general support life (18 months?) makes perfect sense Thanks Alistair On Tue, 29 Apr 2014 13:43:36 +0200, Tobias Ellinghaus wrote: > Hello everyone, > > we released darktable 1.4.2, a point release which consists mostly of > bugfixes and newly added camera support. > > You can find the source tarball here: > > http://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/ darktable-1.4.2.tar.xz/download > > The PGP signature: > > http://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/ darktable-1.4.2.tar.xz.asc/download > > The disk image for Mac users: > > http://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/ darktable-1.4.2.dmg/download > > And this one is also signed: > > http://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.4/ darktable-1.4.2.dmg.asc/download > > The key can be obtained from the usual key servers, fingerprint being > 4BFF7EAD. > > The release notes are as follows: > > ======================== > > darktable 1.4.2 Release Notes > > - A lot of cleanup was done to allow larger images to be handled by > darktable without crashing as often - A significant effort has been made > to cleanup some of our code, fixing a lot of minor memory leaks and some > corner case bugs in the process - A bunch of masks corner cases fixed > > - Tonecurve no longer clamps the gamut - Assorted TIFF reader/writer > fixes > > - Map view: only connect to the map server when active - Use filesystem > timestamp for images lacking EXIF - Sync AMAZE code from RawTherapee, > now with SSE2 optimization, so it's less slow > > - Olympus: lens detection for some Olympus cameras should work better > now (requires images to be re-imported) > - Olympus: focus distance should now be properly displayed for some > Olympus cameras (requires images to be re-imported) > > - SONY ILCE-7(R) garbage pixels are now cut off > > - Experimental support for Nikon D5300 - Experimental support for Nikon > D3300 - Experimental support for Samsung NX1100 - Experimental support > for Samsung NX30 - Very experimental support for Olympus E-M10 (color > rendering is still subject to future change, and may retroactively > affect your image library for this camera) > > - New white balance presets for: > Nikon D610 Olympus E-PL5 Olympus E-PM2 > > For Ubuntu users: > > Users who are using our darktable-release-plus PPA (which has been > deprecated since the previous release) should switch to our > darktable-release PPA: > https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-release > > 1.4.2 is the last release that will be supported for older Ubuntu > versions. > All future versions of darktable will only be supported for 14.04 > "Trusty" > (the new Long Term Support release) and onward > > ======================== > > > Enjoy and take a lot of photos! > > Tobias------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE > Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
