I think Akien (Rémi) is working on it, the changelog of darktable mentions:

Summary: Need an update for darktable to 2.4 version => Update candidate: darktable 2.4.3

I update from update testing the 2.4.0 (amd64) version without problem since many time.

I just update to the 2.4.3 version. I will try and hold on.

But sorry I didn't have any ix86 machine any more to test

Thanks a lot for this update !!!!

Mageia 6, x86_64

Updated this and launched it from the command-line.  It looks very good on a high resolution screen.  Without knowing very much about the application was able to import images, select and obtain detailed information, perform geometric manipulations in lighttable and alter photometric properties in darkroom.  No obvious regressions from pervious trials.

It looks ready for use.
