We update the code almost daily. Every few months, once enough changes have accumulated and the code is stabilized, we make a new official release. Every code change between these releases is known as a "development" version, and this is one of them. +This is RawTherapee 5.6 Release Candidate 1, released on 2019-04-10. This is not the final release yet. Start by reading the "Getting Started" article on RawPedia: http://rawpedia.rawtherapee.com/ -While we only commit tested and relatively stable code and so the development versions should be fairly stable, you should be aware that: -- Development versions only had limited testing, so there may be bugs unknown to us. -- You should report these bugs so that they get fixed for the next stable release. See - www.rawpedia.rawtherapee.com/How_to_write_useful_bug_reports -- The way new tools work in the development versions is likely to change as we tweak and tune them, so your processing profiles may produce different results when used in a future stable version. -- Bugs present in the stable versions get fixed in the development versions, and make it into the next stable version when we make a new official release. That means that in some ways the development versions can be "more stable" than the latest stable release. At the same time, new features may introduce new bugs. This is a trade-off you should be aware of. - NEWS RELEVANT TO PHOTOGRAPHERS @@ -27,12 +20,20 @@ In order to use RawTherapee efficiently you should know that: - There are many keyboard shortcuts which make working with RawTherapee much faster and give you greater control.
