A quick note on the word "raw" and LittleCMS version 2
I would like to point two unrelated things out:- The word "raw" is a plain word. It is not an acronym or an initialism. As such, the usual noun capitalization rules apply. Writing RAW is incorrect. If starting a sentence, capitalize the first letter, leave the other two in lowercase. If in the middle of a sentence, all letters should be lowercase.
- The unstable RawTherapee-3.1 builds require LittleCMS version 2. Ubuntu users should see the guide in the forum on how to install LCMS2 in Ubuntu. RawTherapee-3.0 builds require LittleCMS version 1.

RawTherapee 2.4.1 (OLD!) builds are downloadable again
Many requests have arrived for the old stable builds of RawTherapee, therefore RT 2.4.1 for Windows (only 32-bit) and for Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) are available again.
Important notes:- 2.4.1 is a deprecated version, it is not supported anymore.
- It was the last stable release before the opening of the source code. If you want to download a newer version, take a look at the download center. The nightly builds are usually stable enough to be used, but not considered as final releases yet.
- There was no Macintosh version of the 2.4 branch. If you use mac, try a nightly build from the download center.
