ufraw user who was having trouble on ubuntu.
Upstream NEWS content from web page:
Most important: some bugs leading to imprecise results when processing
extreme values, e.g. from fisheye lenses, were fixed. Thanks to
Torsten B. for working on this!
Apart from that we got several new lenses and camera profiles:
New DSLR and mirrorless camera lenses:
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED-AFS VR
Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM
Sigma 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM
Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DL Macro
Minolta/Sony AF DT 18-70mm F3.5-5.6 (D)
OLYMPUS M.12-50mm F3.5-6.3
Sony DT 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 SAM SAL 1855

Sony E 16mm F2.8
1Sony E 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OSS
Sony E 50mm F1.8 OSS
Sony E 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS
Sony VCL-ECF1 fisheye converter
New compact cameras:
Canon G15
Fuji FinePix F200EXR
Nikon COOLPIX P60
Olympus XZ-1
Panasonic DMC-LX5 4:3
Sony DSC-RX100, RX100
Most of this had been applied upstream (or was taken from upstream).
The only thing left was adding an include of string.h, but it builds
w/o warnings without it, so that appears no longer necessary.
pkgsrc notes:
* I know 0.2.7 is out; it has issues on ubuntu so I'm doing this first.
* patch-ac should perhaps be dropped.
Upstream NEWS content (from web page):
* more than 40 new database entries of lenses and compact cameras
* new CMake based build system for better cross platform compatibility
and compilation fixes for MSVC
* better integration into hugin for loading and storing lens
parameters via the lensfun library
* several bug fixes and stability improvements
Changes:
This release contains long awaited features like rigid
body physics simulation, dynamic topology sculpting and matcap
display.
Other new features include Cycles hair rendering, support for high
pixel density displays, much better handling of premultiplied and
straight alpha transparency, a vertex bevel tool, a mesh cache
modifier and a new SPH particle fluid dynamics solver.

Changelog:
Release 1.1.7 (21 Feb 2013)
---------------------------
* Back out dangerous change to thread.h that was in 1.1.6, which could
cause performance problems.
* Compile fix for WIN32 in strutil.cpp
* Compile fix for Windows XP - add implementation of InterlockedExchangeAdd64
Release 1.1.6 (11 Feb 2013)
---------------------------
* Fix bug that could generate NaNs or other bad values near the poles of
very blurry environment lookups specifically from OpenEXR latlong env maps.
* Fix bug in oiiotool --crop where it could mis-parse the geometric parameter.
* Fix bug in ImageCache::invalidate() where it did not properly delete the
fingerprint of an invalidated file.
* Cleanup and fixes in the oiiotool command line help messages.
* New function ImageBufAlgo::paste() copies a region from one IB to another.
* oiiotool --fit resizes an image to fit into a given resolution (keeping the
original aspect ratio and padding with black if needed).
* ImageBufAlgo::channels() and "oiiotool --ch" have been extended to allow
new channels (specified to be filled with numeric constants) to also be
named.
* New function ImageBufAlgo::mul() and "oiiotool --cmul" let you multiply
an image by a scalar constant (or per-channel constant).
* Important maketx bug fix: when creating latlong environment maps as
OpenEXR files, it was adding energy near the poles, making low-res
MIP levels too bright near the poles.
* Fix to "oiiotool --text" and "oiiotool --fill" -- both were
incorrectly making the base image black rather than drawing overtop of
the previous image.
* Fix FreeBSD compile when not using TBB.
* New oiiotool --swap exchanges the top two items on the image stack.
Bug Fixes
- [Enblend only] Fix a race condition in the seam-line optimizer that
can cause wrongly placed seams.
- [Enblend and Enfuse] Use a per-thread storage of all OpenMP
Vigra-functors. This avoids data races.
- [Enblend and Enfuse] The Boost implementation of the `Mersenne
Twister' random number generator caused segmentation faults when
used in the OpenMP-enabled versions of Enblend and Enfuse. The new
implementation is based on the GNU Scientific Library (GSL), which
plays nicely with concurrent accesses.
- [Enblend only] Correct a mistake that causes overlapping images with
multiple seams to be blended incorrectly.
- [Enblend only] Require the OpenGL extension
`GL_ARB_texture_rectangle' for the `--gpu' option to work. This
does away with a pesky warning of OpenGL drivers that do support
this extension and avoids crashes with drivers that don't.
The GPU performance improvement of Enblend via `--gpu' now is only
available with drivers that feature `GL_ARB_texture_rectangle'
(among many other required OpenGL extensions).
The OpenGL warning about odd texture sizes is unaffected by this
change.
- [Enblend and Enfuse] Fix a longstanding quirk, which allowed to load
masks that were unsuitable for processing.
Core:
- Move the OSX gimpdir to "~/Library/Application Support"
GUI:
- Better names for the default filters in save and export

- Simplify the splash image code a lot, makes it appear immediately again
- Allow the text tool to start on an image without layers
- Various fixes for text style attribute handling
- Set unconfigured input devices to eraser if GTK+ says they are erasers
- Make language selectable in Preferences on OSX
Libgimp:
- Make libgimp drawable combo boxes aware of layer groups
- Make sure plug-in windows appear on top on OSX
- Fix item width in GimpPageSelector (used e.g. in PDF import)
Plug-ins:
- Better default values in the Drop Shadow script
- Fix a whole bunch of bugs in the BMP plug-in
- On OSX, use the system's screenshot utility
Installer:
- Add Brazilian-Portuguese translation to the Windows installer
Source and build system:
- Many improvements to the OSX bundle build system

General:
- Lots of bug fixes
- Lots of translation updates
This release adds a "simplified API" and removes some features
that have been deprecated since libpng.1.5.x.
Changes to Libpng from version 1.5.x to 1.6.x:
A "simplified API" has been added (see documentation in png.h and a simple
example in contrib/examples/pngtopng.c). The new publicly visible API
includes the following:
macros:
PNG_FORMAT_*
PNG_IMAGE_*
structures:
png_control
png_image
read functions
png_image_begin_read_from_file()
png_image_begin_read_from_stdio()
png_image_begin_read_from_memory()
png_image_finish_read()
png_image_free()
write functions
png_image_write_to_file()
png_image_write_to_stdio()
Starting with libpng-1.6.0, you can configure libpng to prefix all exported
symbols, using the PNG_PREFIX macro.
We no longer include string.h in png.h. The include statement has been moved
to pngpriv.h, where it is not accessible by applications. Applications that
need access to information in string.h must add an '#include "string.h"'
directive. It does not matter whether this is placed prior to or after
the '"#include png.h"' directive.
The following API are now DEPRECATED:
png_info_init_3()
png_convert_to_rfc1123() which has been replaced
with png_convert_to_rfc1123_buffer()
png_data_freer()
png_malloc_default()
png_free_default()
png_reset_zstream()
The following has been removed:
png_get_io_chunk_name(), which has been replaced
with png_get_io_chunk_type(). The new
function returns a 32-bit integer instead of
a string.
The png_sizeof(), png_strlen(), png_memcpy(), png_memcmp(), and
png_memset() macros are no longer used in the libpng sources and
have been removed. These had already been made invisible to
applications
(i.e., defined in the private pngpriv.h header file) since
libpng-1.5.0.
The signatures of many exported functions were changed, such that
png_structp became png_structrp or png_const_structrp
png_infop became png_inforp or png_const_inforp
where "rp" indicates a "restricted pointer".
Error detection in some chunks has improved; in particular the iCCP chunk
reader now does pretty complete validation of the basic format. Some bad
profiles that were previously accepted are now rejected, in particular the
very old broken Microsoft/HP sRGB profile.
The library now issues a warning if both background processing and RGB to
gray are used when gamma correction happens. As with previous versions of
the library the results are numerically very incorrect in this case.
There are some minor arithmetic changes in some transforms such as
png_set_background(), that might be detected by certain regression tests.
Unknown chunk handling has been improved internally, without any API change.
This adds more correct option control of the unknown handling, corrects
a pre-existing bug where the per-chunk 'keep' setting is ignored, and makes
it possible to skip IDAT chunks in the sequential reader.
* --tray-overlay option added - use this to overlay a EPS file onto the
tray, for example, a barcode image.
* cdinsert.pl now used to display initial form, as well as a
filled-in form to allow for easy corrections/resubmits on the done page.
* Create covers for double-sided DVD cases that hold 6 DVDs.
* cdinsert.pl now supports "Omit title/subtitle from Cover" option.
* Support for double-depth slim DVD cases. --slim-double-case option added.
Release 1.12.14 (2013-02-10 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
====================================================================
In the last week we had a few more bugs reported and promptly resolved.
As these are a combination of regressions and stability issues, it is
time for a prompt update and release. Many thanks to everyone for
testing and reporting issues, and helping to make Cairo better.
Bug fixes
---------
Prevent user callbacks accessing user-data during destroy to prevent
use-after-free bugs.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722975
Use standard names for glyphs in subset fonts (PDF).
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60248
Fix detection of Win98. The logic for detecting Win98 (and its broken
AlphaBlend()) was inverted, disabling AlphaBlend() for everyone.
Prevent numeric overflow from extrapolating polygon edges to the clip
boundary and causing severe render artifacts.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60489
Fix computation of glyph string coordinates when breaking up runs
for xlib.
Fix an assertion in the win32 backend for failing to clear its
similar-images.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60519
RMagick 2.13.2
o Fixed issues preventing RMagick from working with version 6.8 or higher
o Fixed issues preventing RMagick from working with ruby 1.9.3
* Fix distname
Changelog:
Release 1.1.5 (29 Jan 2013)
---------------------------
* Bug fix in ImageBufAlgo::parallel_image utility template -- care when
not enough work chunks to dole out to all the threads (was previously
sending work to threads with nonsensical ROI's, now we just stop when
all the regions have been doled out).
* Additional optional argument to IBA::zover that, when nonzero, will
treat z=0 pixels as infinitely far away, not super close. You can turn
this on from oiiotool with: oiiotool --zover:zeroisinf=1 ...
Release 1.1.4 (27 Jan 2013)
---------------------------
* ImageBufAlgo::make_texture() allows you to do the same thing that
maketx does, but from inside an application and without launching a
shell invocation of maketx.
* oiiotool now recognizes --metamatch and --nometamatch arguments which
cause metadata names matching (or only info NOT matching) the given
regular expression to be printed with --info.
* oiiotool --zover does z (depth) composites (it's like a regular "over",
but uses the z depth at each pixel to determine which of the two images
is the foreground and which is the background).
* ImageBufAlgo::zover() performs z compositing (same as oiiotool --zover).
* ImageBufAlgo::fixNonFinite didn't work properly with 'half' image buffers.
* Performance improvements when reading and writing images.
* Fix error when writing tiled 'float' TIFF images, corrupted output.
(Could easily happen when using 'maketx' to convert float images into
TIFF textures.)
* Eliminate warnings when compiling with Clang 3.2.
* New CMake variable "USE_EXTERNAL_TBB" can optionally be set to force use
of an external TBB library rather than the embedded one.
* Additional testsuite tests (doesn't affect users, but makes bugs easier
to catch).
* Fix build problem with SHA1.cpp on some platforms.
Release 1.1.3 (9 Jan 2013)
---------------------------
* Build fix: incorrectly named OpenEXR 2.x files.
* Bug fix in oiiotool --croptofull on OSX
* Build fixes for MinGW on Windows.
* maketx --fullpixels option ignores any origin or display window in the
source image, pretending the pixel data is the entire 0-1 image range
starting at the origin (useful when the source image is created by an
application that incorrectly writes it out as if it were a crop window).
* maketx no longer will clobber existing ImageDescription metadata
when it adds SHA-1 hash or other info as it creates the texture.
* Many additional Exif and IPTC tags are correctly recognized.
* maketx and oiiotool recognize and take advantage of IPTC:ImageHistory
metadata.
Do not do the heuristic trials of the first 10 methods when -brute is
specified, because it did not save time as I hoped.
Fixed a mistake in 1.7.45 and 1.7.46 that caused the output file to
not be written.
Version 1.7.46 (built with libpng-1.5.13 and zlib-1.2.7)
Moved the new level 0 methods to the end of the trial list (methods 137-148)
Version 1.7.45 (built with libpng-1.5.13 and zlib-1.2.7)
Added method 0 (uncompressed). "-m 0" now simply turns on method 0.
Added "-try10" option that has the same effect that "-m 0" previously did,
namely to try only the first ten methods.
Inserted new methods 17 through 21 with zlib level 0.
Do the heuristic trials of the first 10 methods when -brute is specified,
to get quickly to a small solution, so we can bail out of most of the
remaining trials early. Previously these 10 methods were skipped during
a -brute run.
Removed the "-reduce" line from the help screen when PNGCRUSH_COUNT_COLORS
is disabled.
Jul 9 2012:

Fix crash on some corrupt files bug, clarify time adjustment syntax in help
Release 1.12.12 (2013-01-31 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
===================================================================
The goal of this release is to fix the synchronisation problems that
were exhibited in the SHM transport for cairo-xlib. This cropped up
any place that tried to rapidly push fresh pixel data to the X server
through an ordinary image surface, such as gimp-2.9 and evince.
Bug fixes
---------
Avoid replacing the entire image when uploading subimages
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59635
Force synchronisation for scratch SHM image buffers, so that we do
not overwrite data as it is being read by X.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59635 (also)
Fix typos in detecting multisampling for the GL (MSAA) backend.
Fix a memory leak in the GL (MSAA) backend.
Fix a reference counting bug when mapping a GL surface to an image.
