## Hell Froze Over

- As you might have read on our [news post](https://www.darktable.org/2017/08/darktable-for-windows/) we finally ported darktable to Windows and intend to support it in the future. At the moment it's still lacking a few features (for example there is not printing support), has a few limitations (tethering requires special drivers to be installed) and comes with its own set of bugs. But overall we are confident that it's quite usable already and hope you will enjoy it. A very special thanks goes to Peter Budai who finally convinced us to agree to the port and who did most of the work.
