Bug 29226

Advisory:
=========

Updated darktable package provides new 3.6 feature release

  This is a feature and bugfix update for darktable, bringing the Mageia package
  from version 3.4.1 to 3.6.0.

  The release includes numerous new features, enhancements and bugfixes which
  are outlined in the referenced release notes.

  Important: Upgrading from darktable 3.4 to 3.6 will imply upgrading the data
  and library databases in a non backward compatible way (so downgrading is not
  easily possible).
  
  The pre-upgrade databases will be saved as `.pre-3.6.0` files in
  `~/.config/darktable/`. You can also back up the whole `~/.config/darktable/`
  folder prior to upgrading in case any issue is encountered during the upgrade.

darktable-3.6.0-1.mga8


Testing procedure:
==================

As outlined in the advisory, darktable uses database files for its data and library, and this file format gets upgraded automatically when opening the new
version with pre-existing data.

Until we (and other upstream users) have tested this sufficiently to be confident about the upgrade, I would advise testers who use darktable personally to back up their `~/.config/darktable/` folder before testing the update.

While QA testing can be done right now, I would suggest waiting a few days before validating the update, just to see if there's any issue with the 3.6.0 release reported upstream that would push them to release a 3.6.1 bugfix.
