At the moment it's still lacking a few features (for example there is not printing support), has a few limitations (tethering requires special drivers to be installed) and comes with its own set of bugs. But overall we are confident that it's quite usable already and hope you will enjoy it. A very special thanks goes to Peter Budai who finally convinced us to agree to the port and who did most of the work. ## The Big Ones + - A new module for haze removal - The local contrast module can now be pushed much further, it also got a new local laplacian mode - Add undo support for masks and more intelligent grouping of undo steps @@ -56,6 +55,7 @@ and the changelog as compared to 2.2.0 can be found below.
