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. Reference: - https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-3.6.0 SRPM in core/updates_testing: ============================= darktable-3.6.0-1.mga8 RPM in core/updates_testing: ============================ 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.

Hi, here works fine in Mga 8 Plasma for the moment. I was looking forward to this update, I was just going to report this afternoon for Mageia. Thanks for the speed to the developers! It is an application that I use almost daily.

MGA8 x64 Plasma Saving ~/.config/darktable/ before. This works ok. Update well over existing installation. Library migrated well. No 3.6.1 issued. I don't know if there is well-know issues upstream for Linux.

mga8 x64 Plasma. No installation issues. Database is tiny,(I don't use this as a rule), and updated without incident. No issues noted. It's been two weeks since this bug was filed, and darktable.org still has not announced a 3.6.1 release. Since Jose uses it "almost daily" and hasn't reported any issues, I think we can send this on. Validating. Advisory in Comment 0, with the updated srpm in Comment1.
