Detailed Description
Darktable is one of the most important photo editing software in the whole FOSS world. The 2.0 final version is going to be released in a few weeks, and it will be shipped in Fedora 24
Benefit to Fedora
Darktable 2.0's improved support for newer cameras stresses that the FOSS world is a concrete alternative for professional (and not) photographers

- Other developers: nothing
- Release engineering: no action required
- Policies and guidelines: no new policy/guideline changes required.

Upgrade/compatibility impact
Upgrade tested. Downgrade from 2.0 to 1.6.x not supported.
How To Test
x86 64bit CPU only.
You are expected to successfully open and edit photos already edited in Darktable 1.6.x.
Basic Darktable editing functionality should work, although of course upstream bugs may exist.
Version 2 will land in Rawhide as soon as it is ready, but you can also help test on Fedora 22 or Fedora 23 by enabling the COPR repo https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/germano/Darktable_2.0_release_candidate/
