** Description changed:

  This is a request to update darktable deb to match the snap ;)
  
  The biggest new features to warrant it:
  - UI rework; everything is now themable, and it works properly on high-DPI screens
- - 'filmic RGB' module to replace old global tone-mapping modules
+ - 'filmic RGB' module as a new option to old global tone-mapping modules
  - a new culling mode
  
  and more, full release notes at
  https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-3.0.0
  
  This also pulls in the first bugfix release, plus a couple of commits
  from git to fix some minor regressions found since.
- 
  
  --- original 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
