This is the first of two releases this year and, from here on, we intend to issue two new feature releases each year, around the summer and winter solstices.

Thanks to countless hours of work of very dedicated contributors, all of the new features are fully documented in time in the user manual, which is now available in epub format along with the existing online and pdf versions. Help links within darktable have been updated to point to the new manual and the old version will now be officially discontinued. The user manual is still English-only for the moment, but translations are in progress (here) and we expect other languages to be available in time for darktable 3.8.

The quick access panel is a replacement for the basic adjustments module and much more. This feature provides a new interface to the existing processing modules within a single unified layout. Users can add controls from any module to the quick access panel for increased productivity and enhanced ergonomics.

This new implementation is GUI only — controls and pixel filters still belong to their respective modules and can be properly moved along the pipeline individually using their original, linked, module.
