Na razie można popróboważ Release Candidate : Darktable 1.4rc1

Opis zmian z witryny projektu:

darktable now integrates a lua engine that allows writing scripts to make it easier to use with other image processing software.

There are very few scripts available at this point but we expect the community to provide some more during the next release cycle.
