Nevermind. I just found the bug that exactly matches my finding:

Hello everybody,

for the last couple of days I was checking my image library which also
included having a closer look at some older (2-3 years) images. During
that I noticed that the white balance changed (partly) very
drastically for some of them. It seems that Sony ARW files are most
affected but there are also slight differences in Canon CR2 files. By
closer inspection it seems that the changes are caused by the "White
Balance" module and more specific because of the "camera reference"
instead of the "as shot" setting. For all of the affected images I did
not change this setting. Images that I explicitly set an white balance
for ("from image area" or "user modified") did not change.

I cannot recall what the setting was after the initial import ("camera
reference" or "as shot") but as they looked differently back than (of
that I am sure because I have jpg exports from Darktable) I assume one
of the following happened:

  * The default changed from "as shot" to "camera reference" for old
    images
  * The interpretation/implementation of "camera reference" changed

Was there a change like that in the last some years? And is there a
way to revert that? I guess I could change the white balance setting
for the images directly in the library database but I'm not sure how I
can identify those that are affected.

Thanks a lot & Best regards
Thomas
