You are strongly advised to take a backup first.

Important note: to make sure that darktable can keep on supporting the raw file format for your camera, please read this post on how/what raw samples you can contribute to ensure that we have the full raw sample set for your camera under CC0 license!

Bug Fixes

Fix overexposed indicators after cropping.
Fix DNG creation in the HDR merge module (ColorMatrix could be zero).
Fix culling layout, which could be broken after a second use when changing the number of images (e.g. when rejecting an image).
Fix GUI reset of the export module when using TIFF format.
Fix copy of iop-order in merge mode when multiple instances are used in the destination images.
Fix color filtering issue on Windows.
Fix possible black screen when using auto-white balance on Windows.
Properly retain the access and modified timestamps when using copy and import.
Fix color picker reset in color zones module.
Fix help link for module layout management.
Fix crash after a failed camera tethering attempt.
Add support for fast pipe mode on the diffuse module. Fast pipe mode is used to bypass long-running modules while interactively changing another module’s parameters where that module does not require accurate image display. For example, it is used to improve responsiveness of the on-screen display in the crop and rotate/perspective modules.
Fix some color picker button action types.
Fix crash in Latex export.
Fix website gallery export.
Fix a file-handle leak.
Fix a memory corruption in sharpen module that could lead to a crash.
Fix vectorscope histogram display to avoid cropping the primary and secondary nodes (top and bottom).
Add HEIF media type association for the desktop.
Fix possible crash when using the color checker without a properly selected patch.
Fix sorting of LUT 3D files and left-align the entries for better readability.
Disable upscaling when export size is set to original image dimensions (0) as this does not have meaning and could crash darktable.
Fix possible crash when applying a time-offset to images.
Fix crop-size information displayed on screen (rounding issue).
Fix blending detail mask memory requirement.
Fix crash when zooming with fingers on an empty lighttable.
Ensure that external format size limits are enforced during export.
Some CSS fixes on color, contrast, positioning of combo-boxes, check-box size, scrollbars and progress bars.
Fix JPEG APP1 header (skip 6-byte header).
Fix some missing translations in notebook tabs.
Use a color-managed background for color balance rgb module sliders.
Light up midi modifier keys when shift/ctlr/alt are pressed.
Some speed improvements (tuned compiler options, some optimized routines)
