On 21st of July Raw Therapee 2.4 has been released.

Raw Therapee (http://www.rawtherapee.com) is an open source (donation are appreciated of course) software for RAW development.

The 2.x versions are a big step forward with respect to version 1.x in terms of usability and some features (already included in version 1.x) are particularly interesting, especially how the RAW data are handled, achieving results in some areas better than most of other RAW converters, included the popular Adobe Camera Raw. Let's see.

The decoding of RAW data is done through the free and famous DCRaw (link here). The demosaicing algorithm (the process to pass from the RAW image in one-color to a "normal" color image) is selectable between 3 ones, and EAHD gives impressive results.
