<br><br>Hello,<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.libraw.org/data/LibRaw-0.7.0-a3.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://www.libraw.org/data/LibRaw-0.7.0-a3.tar.gz</a><br>
<br>
Full changelog: <a href="http://www.libraw.org/download#changelog-beta" target="_blank">http://www.libraw.org/download#changelog-beta</a><br>
<br>
In short:<br>
<br>
* I'm working on full data extraction from RAW files. This beta is<br>
focused mostly on Fujifilm and PhaseOne RAWs:<br>
+ masked pixels extracted for these cameras<br>
+ it is possible to fine tune RAW postprocessing for PhaseOne<br>
+ some new metadata is avaliable for PhaseOne shots<br>
<br>
* There is no user-visible quality changes if dcraw_process() used<br>
with one exception: I've fixed Coffin's bug in PhaseOne black level<br>
subtraction code.<br>
So all files, but PhaseOne, should be bitwise-equal with LibRaw 0.6-x<br>
version.<br>
<br>
* Fixed small bug in samples/dcraw_emu sample (processing of -s switch)<br>
<br>
* samples/unprocessed_raw is able to extract specified sub-image from<br>
RAW (useable only for Fuji and Sinar 4-shot).<br>
<br>
Also, one extra bit is added to filtration_mode parameter: you can turn<br>
off tone curve processing by setting LIBRAW_FILTERING_NOPOSTPROCESS bit.<br>
<br>
LIBRAW_FILTERING_AUTOMATIC should work as expected.<br>
<br>
I'm interested in stability testing on large digiKam userbase. All my tests are<br>
passed OK.<br>
<br>
NOTE: internal data structures are changed. Full client code recompilation is<br>
mandatory.<br><font color="#888888">
