The powerful, open-source, and cross-platform darktable RAW image editor has just been updated today, October 25, 2016, to version 2.0.7, a major release that adds numerous new features and improvements.

We'll start with the good news, as darktable 2.0.7 adds support for the new Canon EOS 80D RAW image formats, including M-RAW and S-RAW. Moreover, SSE vectorization has been added for X-Trans to the Temperature and Invert modules, along with keyboard shortcuts for presets to the Temperature module, and there are various improvements to exporting of EXIF tags in images, keeping them below the ~64Kb limit.

Continuing with the good news, darktable 2.0.7 now supports the Canon EOS 100D, Canon EOS 300D, Canon EOS 6D, Canon EOS 700D, Canon EOS 80D (sRaw1, sRaw2), Canon PowerShot A720 IS (DNG), Fujifilm FinePix S100FS, Nikon D3400 (12bit-compressed), Panasonic DMC-FZ300 (4:3), Panasonic DMC-G8 (4:3), Panasonic DMC-G80 (4:3), Panasonic DMC-GX80 (4:3), Panasonic DMC-GX85 (4:3), and Pentax K-70 digital cameras.

Lots of Nikon digital cameras now fully supported by darktable

Furthermore, darktable 2.0.7 fixes support for a large number of Nikon digital cameras, including Nikon 1 AW1, Nikon 1 J1 (12bit-compressed), Nikon 1 J2 (12bit-compressed), Nikon 1 J3, Nikon 1 J4, Nikon 1 S1 (12bit-compressed), Nikon 1 S2, Nikon 1 V1 (12bit-compressed), Nikon 1 V2, Nikon Coolpix A (14bit-compressed), Nikon Coolpix P330 (12bit-compressed), Nikon Coolpix P6000, Nikon Coolpix P7000, Nikon Coolpix P7100, Nikon Coolpix P7700 (12bit-compressed), and Nikon Coolpix P7800 (12bit-compressed).

The Nikon D1, Nikon D3 (12bit-compressed, 12bit-uncompressed), Nikon D3000 (12bit-compressed), Nikon D3100, Nikon D3200 (12bit-compressed), Nikon D3S (12bit-compressed, 12bit-uncompressed), Nikon D4 (12bit-compressed, 12bit-uncompressed), Nikon D5 (12bit-compressed, 12bit-uncompressed), Nikon D50, Nikon D5100, Nikon D5200, and Nikon D600 (12bit-compressed) digital cameras are supported as well.

The list of supported Nikon digital cameras continues with the Nikon D610 (12bit-compressed), Nikon D70, Nikon D7000, Nikon D70s, Nikon D7100 (12bit-compressed), Nikon E5400, and Nikon E5700 (12bit-uncompressed) models. Unfortunately, the Nikon E8400, Nikon E8800, Nikon D3X (12-bit), and Nikon Df (12-bit) cameras are still not fully supported, so your help is needed (please contact the authors via the official website).

Last but not least, darktable 2.0.7 adds white balance preset support for Pentax K-70 and noise profile support for Sony DSC-RX10. The German and Catalan language translations have been updated, the application now shows if OpenEXR is supported or not (use the --version argument to find out), the app won't crash if configured display profile is missing, and Histogram now displays the aperture with one digit after the dot.
