Title:
Welcome: darktable 2.6.3 in focal needs update to 3.0.1
Status in darktable package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa LTS still only has darktable 2.6.3 in the
official repositories.
darktable 3.0.0 was released Dec 24, 2019, and darktable 3.0.1 was
released March 09 2020.
( darktable feature releases are traditionally released each
Christmas. )
Please note that darktable 3.x is NOT backward compatible with
darktable 2.6.3. So there is no way for a user of a more current
version of darktable to even use darktable 2.6.3. A supplement
problem is that running 2.6.3 when you have a 3.0.x db (eg. if
upgrading Ubuntu to 20.04 in place) results in a totally silent fail
at load. Only if run from a terminal do you see the '... db is too
new ... Aborting ...' message.
I'll submit a post to ubuntu-motu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx re this
