[Digikam-users] Differences in Pentax raw files?

[Gilles Caulier]

Just for information.

With next 5.0.0, libkdcraw dependency is dropped is favor to use libraw
directly. libraw is integrated directly in digiKam core because it use new
Raw decoder which has not release as well with libraw.

So this kind of situation cannot be reproduced in the future.
