Raw Therapee 2.4m1 is available
Bottom-line:
2.4m1 is a kinda' beta version - not yet all features of 2.4 and stability similar to betas. Biggest notable change (to me): EXIF data is kept, IPTC tag support, some EXIF can be edited and all will be transfered during output.
Details (from Raw Therapee website):
The development of RawTherapee v2.4 has reached the first milestone. The features below are implemented already:
* Full EXIF support: The long-waited feature is here, RawTherapee is able to import EXIF data from RAWs and export to the output image formats, including TIFF. RT supports Makernotes, and standards compliance is improved.
* EXIF Browser: Browse, edit, delete the original EXIF tags. The possibility to record additional tags (like author, copyright and comment) is also available.
* IPTC tag support
* More input ICC profile options
* A new highlight recovery method ("CIELab Blending"), that promises better recovery of color information
* Histogram now corresponds to cropped area
* Runtime theme switching: The look ("skin") of RT can be changed, and you don't even need to restart the program. RT will be packed with new themes, too.
* Lots of other minor (and not-so-minor) tweaks: bugfixes, eye-candy, some new GUI icons, performance improvements, etc...
I wonder if that's just an internal thing it's doing or something we get to play with :-D. I'll have to download it.
Thanks for posting about this, still haven't tried it surprisingly. Actually switched pretty much exclusively to using jpeg with dro and opening in ACR, since I got my A700. Mainly due to the issue with dro & raw with the A700.

Its got so much potential this program...I just so wish it was faster!
I play about now and then, but its frustrating at times with the speed.
