The second point release of darktable 2.2 arrived today, January 30, 2017, full of new features, multiple bug fixes, and support for new digital cameras, including noise profiles.

Since darktable 2.2.1, which launched earlier this month, the developers have managed to add a few goodies, such as re-enablement of tiling support for the Lens module, as well as the ability to read yet another white balance encoding method with the DNG decoder.

They also included some presets for kohlrausch and helmholtz monochrome in the Color Look-up Table module, fixed various artifacts in Darkroom's preview image, updated the documentation and the tooltips, and added an error message for Mac users to get notified if the installed macOS version is too old.

As for the bug fixes, there are some memory leaks resolved, better import of LR custom tone-curves, support for deleting duplicate XMP files when also removing the duplicate image, a couple of Mac OS X issues, and a few other small bugs that you can view in the changelog attached at the end of the article.

The developers would also like you to help them offer the best RAW support for darktable. "To make sure that darktable can keep on supporting the raw file format for your camera, please help us by visiting https://raw.pixls.us/ and making sure that we have the full raw sample set for your camera under CC0 license."

New base camera support, new noise profiles

darktable 2.2.2 also adds DNG support for several digital cameras, including Canon PowerShot SX40 HS, Leica X2, Nikon LS-5000, Nokia Lumia 1020, Pentax K-r, Pentax K10D, and Pentax K-5, and base support for Fujifilm X-E2S, Leica D-LUX (Typ 109) (4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 1:1), Panasonic DMC-GF6 (16:9, 3:2, 1:1), and Sony ILCE-6500.
