I have installed and ran through a complete project with RC3 of the installer. I removed a previous version and installed this with no problems. I saved autopano-sift-c from a previous installation and copied into the bin directory. Release notes looked fine.
I also ran through a large project since I did not have a chance to test it earlier. The project was 175 images in 5 shot 1EV step brackets connected with ~16k alignment points. After the intial alignment, there were large errors (5-6k pixels) indicated for many points and hugin crashed when i tried to review in the control point table. I had saved my work before alignment. When I reopened, hugin indicated 3 of the control points were bad and removed them. After this everything went fine and the initial large errors seen in the control point table were gone. I ran several iterations of optimize with no problems and then used Align from the assistant tab with no problem. Finally changing the lens for the Nadir, I optimized everything and iteratively removed outlier control points from the control point table. Ended with a very good alignment of mean error of <0.5 and max of around 5 pixels. Stitched an 8k x 4k blended and fused pano with no error but did give me a warning about enfuse options. We should probably make the differences in the options more available. I will post on the hugin users group on flickr for the users there.
