When updating from the stable 4.2.x series, please bear in mind that your edits will be preserved during this process, but the new library and configuration will no longer be usable with 4.2.x.

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 inverted and corrupted grow/shrink in Liquify module.
Fix FilmicRGB V7 CPU code path to disable the gamut mapping.
Fix Negadoctor CPU code path where clipping was not properly computed.
Fix snapshot label when containing non escaped characters.
Fix possible crash on Windows when using mask in the Color Balance RGB module.
Fix default value when editing the module’s first instance name.
Fix top history module being reset to default values when not using the auto module naming.
Make sure OpenCL devices report at least v1. 2 support.
Add some missing support for mask distortion to modules changing ROI (Region Of Interest) while processing.
Fixed a spacing issue with text boxes in the metadata editor when one or more fields have been hidden by the user.
Fix a bug in colorspace transformation OpenCL code leading to CPU fallback.
Allow entering full preview mode when no image hovered or selected.
Fix a case where no default auto-preset were applied to the image. If a user’s auto-preset is created for a module we want to disable the default auto-preset only if the user’s preset is actually applied (meaning the filter on camera, lens, iso, aperture or exposure matches).

Notes

When exporting to AVIF, EXR, JPEG XL, or XCF, selecting specific metadata (e.g. geo tag or creator) is not currently possible. For AVIF, EXR, JPEG XL, and XCF formats, darktable will not include any metadata fields unless the user selects all of the checkboxes in the export preference options.
In order to support the correct display of numbers in darktable, the minimum supported Gtk version has had to be increased to 3.24.15. For people who need to build darktable with an older version, this can be achieved by removing line 241 of the darktable.css file on your system. See https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/13166.
Starting with this release a new support policy regarding macOS versions will be in place – darktable releases will now only support those macOS versions that are also supported by Apple. Release 4.4 therefore drops support for macOS versions older than 11.3.
