Hi Habi, The most prominent change is that the OSX RC5 bundle is 32/64bit. You run it on a macbook pro and I suppose with Leopard. It means that it will run in 64bit mode and use a 64bit address space. I think the enblend problems are related to the earlier 32bit versions. The 64bit enblend can allocate far more memory than the 32bit. It should(!) function correctly on 32bit, but malloc on OSX is not very good and leaves many chunks of memory behind. The 64bit version can allocate much more memory. I assume it is therefore "more forgiving" as it has more memory to use as garbage bin before choking itself in it's own garbage. It means that the Hugin builds in future should be preferably 32/64bit for those who can run in 64bit.
Who will build these bundles?
