Darktable 5.6.2 has been released as a bug-fix update for the stable 5.6 series, addressing crash corrections and OpenCL issues primarily for Linux users, with no new features introduced. The update includes improved support for Intel graphics drivers and resolves several bugs affecting performance and stability, particularly on Linux systems. While camera support remains limited with only two new white-balance presets added, the update is significant for Linux users who build from source, as it addresses previous problems with bad tarballs. Users are advised to back up their work before upgrading, as the new library database is incompatible with the older 5.4 version
