• support for audio notes playback

• added the option to overwrite files when exporting to disk
• crawler that syncs all xmp files on start
• support huge images (> 32 bit pixel index). darktable can open 26770x13385
  TIFFs and should in theory be able to process arbitrary sized images. don't
  try this on a 32 bit system though!
• lens iop presets are copy/pastable between different images

output:

• tiff read/write rewritten, works on 32-bit float now, supports compression
• allow setting PPI for exported JPEGs, defaulting to 300
• pwstorage libsecret
• use HTTPS when exporting to flickr

darkroom:

• new defringe image operation
• automatic mode for levels module

  colour and structure to clipped areas. thanks to a1ex from magic lantern!
• better basecurve tool to create basecurves from raw/jpg pairs
• soft boundaries in sliders
  (right click and type 8 in exposure compensation for example)
• input colour gamut mapping to avoid problems with saturated blues
  causing purple artefacts

colour:

• color conversion speedup (openmp for lcms2 case)
• add linear Rec2020 as a build-in profile
• embedded icc profile support for png/tiff (read/write)

lua scripting:

• copy, move, reset and delete images via lua
• handle progress bars via lua
• limited manipulation of libs an views UI via lua
• import and export styles via lua
• trigger lua when the grouping mode changes
• trigger lua when the overlay mode changes
• trigger lua when the active view changes
• manipulate snapshots via lua
• handle more types of preferences, including enums, directories and file names
• lua API is now versioned:
  use darktable.configuration.check_version to check
• lua API incompatibilities:
  darktable.modules has been removed, use darktable.new_format and
  darktable.new_storage to access the constructors

performance improvements:

• many speed improvements by adding sse code for image operations
• make white balance work faster
• make invert work faster
• much faster exr export with optional compression (multicore support)
• speedup of pfm writing
• speedup of amaze. it is still slow but not as bad as it used to be

internal improvements:

• module parameter introspection
• clang/address-sanitizer/etc compiler warnings fixed
• flip iop used for raw auto-orientation (simplifies code)
• complete rawspeed migration for raw loading

bug fixes:

• hdr bracketing fixes
• masks cleanup and bugfixes
• correct lens detection for compact cameras
• avoid clipping in vignette, lowpass, shadows & highlights, a/b
  channels of colorcontrast and tonecurve

and of course also:

• updated usermanual
• lots of small performance improvements and code cleanup

thanks to our great community and all the contributors for making this possible!
