The port to Gtk+3 widget set is yet another major change that you might or might not care about much. If you care about losing your data (of course you do), darktable 2.0 finally supports deleting images to system trash (where available). Moreover, mipmap cache has been replaced with thumbnail cache which makes a huge difference. No longer you need to go through the trial-and-error routine to set it up in the preferences dialog. Something I personally consider a major improvement in terms of getting darktable to work out of box nicely is that the viewport is finally automatically sized. Additionally, thumbnails are properly color-managed now. The darkroom mode now features handy toggles for softproofing and gamut check below the viewport (darktable uses a cyan color to fill out of gamut areas). The other important change is improved color management support. The nice “perk” of this new feature is exporting to PDF in the export module. Printing is completely color-managed, you can tweak positions of images on paper etc. The most visible new feature is the print module that uses CUPS. Darktable, free RAW processing software for Linux and Mac, got a major update just in time for your festive season.
