On my linux box (Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic), after having used the official
package DT 2.6.2 from the ubuntu repository for a while, I recently
installed DT 2.6.3~git2.22c690a53 from a deb package I had found in
the net. Now I read that there is also a stable DT version 3.0.0
available from sources (that, by the way, in spite of some glitches
due to dependencies, I've been able to compile and use under a
dedicated test user) and a 3.2.0 is under way. I confess that I'm
completely confused by the versioning system of DT.
1-Could someone of you clarify this point to me (or point me to some
article explaining it to me)?
2-Being a 'quiet man', not loving the 'bleeding edges' as far as
programs are concerned, what is your suggested version I should stick to?
if you have some time to wait there will be an update by Pascal in his
Ubuntu PPA for darktable.
He seems to be offline for vacation.
Then you have stable 3.0
Quick roundup:
In the past 1.4.x, 1.6.x, 2.0.x, 2.2.x and so on have been the stable
versions, last one had been 2.6.x
Because of massive changes/improvements/features the new version is not
2.8 but 3.0
In between versions like 2.3, 2.5 etc. had been development versions.
Current git development master is 3.1.0~git136.2a252d0b6
So I'd wait for Pascal for the update of the PPA
