Originally posted by beholder3 It seems dcraw has been discontinued.
The modern successor seems to be libraw.
Someone should tell David Coffin (the author). His site is active with no indication or notice that the product is not being maintained. This rumor is traceable to a post on the libraw project page July of last year. No reason was given for the assertion, though I suspect it is the fact that the last stable release was in December 2016 and that the supported camera list does not include camera models released after that date.
Normally, that would be indication that the author has either abandoned the product or is dead/incapacitated. In regards to low level RAW processing (what dcraw does) without maker-specific tweaks, the difference between processing a PEF from the K10D and one from a K-1II is
nil. What is stored in the file is a large array of voltage values marshaled in a predictable pattern. Any model-dependent magic sauce is added before the file is written. Unless a maker debuts a new file type, there is no need to change any code except to fix bugs or add features. The supported camera list is a formality and is not an indication of exclusion.
