We're proud to announce the new feature release of darktable, 5.6.0!
The github release is here: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-5.6.0.
To build from source, do not use the autogenerated tarball provided by GitHub on the release page, download our tar.xz file instead. If you're just building for yourself without creating a package for some distribution, then using source code cloning in git is an even more convenient way.

When updating from the stable 5.4 series, please bear in mind that your edits will be preserved during this process, but the new library and configuration will no longer be usable with 5.4.
You are strongly advised to take a backup first.
Important note: to make sure that darktable can keep on supporting the raw file format for your camera, please read this post on how/what raw samples you can contribute to ensure that we have the full raw sample set for your camera under CC0 license!

The Big Ones
The following is a summary of the main features added to darktable
5.6. Please see the user manual for more details of the individual
changes (where available).
Added optional AI subsystem (build with -DUSE_AI=ON). AI features
are disabled by default in preferences and can be enabled at runtime
without restarting. When disabled, no ONNX Runtime libraries are
loaded and no AI-related activity occurs. Models are downloaded from
a configurable repository and managed through the AI preferences tab.
Added install scripts for Linux and Windows that set up GPU
acceleration for the new AI features. The scripts detect the user's
GPU vendor (NVIDIA, AMD or Intel) and install the matching GPU
runtime. They can be run from a local checkout or fetched and run
online with a single command – see the GPU acceleration

or SegNext model for interactive object segmentation – click on an
object to generate a precise mask. Supports both foreground and
background prompt points with iterative refinement. The encoder runs
