as a feature release, it comes with a lot of new goodies:

• profiled denoising: adapt to the properties of your camera's sensor (72 cameras already profiled for you).
• lightroom import: convert some basic edits from your lightroom collection to darktable operations.
• multi instance support: duplicate your modules and apply them more than one time with different settings.
• improved usability for distorting modules (streamline spot removal in the presence of crop/rotate for example).
• selective copy/paste of image processing.
• new more intuitive keystone correction tool.
• jpeg2000 support.
• graphics magick import (support virtually all input image formats).
• much faster thumbnail loading (if you can live with crappy embedded thumbnails).
• incredibly lengthy list of small bug fixes, performance enhancements, and usability improvements.
• new camera support (decode and color matrices).
• dithering against banding.
• sharper thumbnails in lighttable mode.
• new oauth2 based picasa uploader.
• updated translations.

the online user manual has been updated to reflect the latest release of darktable. This is the html version of the reworked user manual for darktable 1.1 which descibes all major features of darktables and serves as a reference for all image operation modules.

The user manual for the upcoming darktable 1.2 is almost finished and is being proofread right now. Still, any changes and additions for the post-1.2 era are more than welcome!

since March 3 we are in the string freeze phase for the upcoming darktable 1.2 release. This release will be a major new version introducing tons of new features (as you might have guessed by all the blog articles in the last months...).

Please don't push or provide patches with any new translatable strings to master or change them (that's the ones in _("...") ).

cheers-

we just released darktable 1.1.2, a point release (so nothing too fancy) with a couple of bugfixes and better camera support. Additionally it comes with an updated usermanual which is available here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-usermanual-1.1.2.pdf/download

The tarball can be found here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.2.tar.gz/download

http://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-1.1.2.dmg/download

The various packages for your favourite distro are already on their way. The Ubuntu PPA should be updated already for example, and the opensuse package is available from http://software.opensuse.org/package/darktable and will be included in the upcoming opensuse 12.3 thanks to Togan Muftuoglu.

Changelog:

• Fix export resolution rounding issue (as in previous version it could be off-by-one)
• Correctly set output dimension in exif instead of passing the raw resolution verbatim
• Local average green eq. was fixed (it now works on high ISO images as well, and should no longer produce hot pixels)
• Use ordered arrays in XMP files
• Disable export parallelism for flickr/picasa export
• Don't enter tethering mode when there is no camera attached (this made darktable look as if it was hung, even though that wasn't the case)
• Bring back the pin for map thumbnails
• Improved TIFF support
• Vignetting now has a dithering option (to mitigate occasional banding)
• Read Nikon subject distance properly
• Assorted FreeBSD fixes
• Various OpenCL fixes
• Usermanual updates

along with an updated usermanual:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/darktable/files/darktable/1.1/darktable-usermanual-1.1.1.pdf/download

this resolves a couple of issues with 1.1. so no new features here, but:

• minor reordering of lighttable mode modules (geotagging, keywords and recent collections)
• cleaned up the default visible plugins when first starting darktable
• in most cases raw files will now show thumbnails in the import dialog (thanks to Mattias Eriksson)
• a curve related crash was fixed (#9906 thanks to James C. McPherson)
• comma seperated tags should work everywhere now (#9006 thanks to Tobias Ellinghaus)
• Ulrich Pegelow fixed a huge amount of opencl related issues, particularly for AMD GPUs
• we now deal better with hybrid GPU machines (#9074 by Ulrich Pegelow)
• a deadlock in the lens correction module was fixed (#9106 thanks to Ulrich Pegelow)
• we don't delete module presets when cancelling the dialog anymore (#9108 thanks to Tobias Ellinghaus)
• we now have better default memory usage settings (which are set upon starting darktable the first time)
• initial support for SONY NEX 5R
• preliminary/experimental Canon EOS 6D and Sony RX1 support (future changes for these camera's may (for the time being) retroactively affect your images)
• Canon EOS 6D white balance presets (thanks to no_maam_)
• lots of updates for the usermanual (make sure you download a new copy from here)
• and for our 1.1 the ubuntu packages from the PPAs were built without facebook export support, this has been fixed for 1.1.1

darktable wouldn't be where it is now if we weren't able to depend on
the great work of others, in particular we'd like to thank:

Klaus Post (RawSpeed), Dave Coffin (dcraw), Andreas Hugel (Exiv2),
Andrew Zabolotny (Lensfun), Marti Maria (lcms), Niels Kristian Bech Jensen (ufraw).

have a lot of fun!

this is a feature release, so there is a lot of new stuff:

general

• new camera support, new whitebalance presets, etc., including
  canon eos m support and samsung nx fix
• similarity matching search for images that look alike.
• geotagging, complete with map view (thanks to dinamic for starting that ages ago and to houz for actually bringing it home):
  http://www.darktable.org/2012/09/geotagging-in-darktable/
• mac os package: http://www.darktable.org/2012/08/bringing-current-darktable-to-os-x/
• a lot of bugfixes (mainly thanks to ulrich for his meticulous work)
• facebook exporter (for those who have an account there)

ui

• reworked the much hated `more plugins' widget (thanks to boucman)
• image grouping: http://www.darktable.org/2012/09/grouping/
• command line interface! http://www.darktable.org/2012/07/exporting-images-on-the-command-line/
• tone and base curves got a new user interface to better support fine grained workflow as in: http://www.darktable.org/2012/02/mastering-color-with-lab-tone-curves/
• visually low-profile controls with finetuning: http://www.darktable.org/2012/03/bauhaus-widgets/
• color correction module (http://www.darktable.org/2012/03/color-correction/) got a GUI update since the blog post (two circles indicating shadows and highlights instead of the quad).
• live view for tethered shooting! http://www.darktable.org/2012/05/live-view/

darkroom

• extensive use of edge-aware filtering techniques to suppress noise, halos and ringing all around darktable: http://www.darktable.org/2012/09/edge-aware-image-development/
• conditional blending, and a lot of goodies around it! http://www.darktable.org/2012/07/some-enhancements-to-conditional-blending/
• magenta highlights: http://www.darktable.org/2012/07/magenta-highlights/improved on high-contrast edges to overexposed areas (should get rid of purple highlights on tiny water waves and purple fringes around tree leaves for example)
• much improved sharpness for both export and darkroom view, especially for downsampled images and if you use lens corrections or rotations/perspective corrections. check the new options in the preferences dialog, also one more than mentioned in the blog ("demosaicing for zoomed out darkroom mode" to trade performance for even more sharpness): http://www.darktable.org/2012/06/upcoming-features-new-interpolation-modes-and-better-resize/

color management

• improved per-screen color management (should reload the screen profile automatically)
• more compatible embedded color profiles (should fix problems on windows viewing our images, if that matters)
• read embedded color profiles from jpg

opencl

• most of our modules now can take advantage of your computer's gpu power
• caching for compiled opencl kernels (even in case the driver doesn't do it) for faster startup times

usermanual

translations

• two new translations (both portuguese.. ;) )
• well translated: cs de es fr it ja nl pl pt_BR pt_PT sv
• half translated: ca fi gl ro ru sq th zh_CN

enjoy!
