Thank you all for another great release just in time for the holidays. Particular thanks to Stefan Peter for making the binary available via the Hugin PPA and to everybody upstream of those binaries.

It is unfortunate that without going through the above described manual procedure, upgrading users don't have access to linefind (great tool, thanks!). For similar situations in the future it makes sense to either (a) check that this is an upgrade and write into the preferences once the new extra settings; or (b) on first start up show a pop up window to the user mentioning the manual procedure. I personally would prefer an automated procedure as in (a), but it would require writing the version number into a new preference value. Check it on startup against the version of the binary running and if there is an upgrade, update the version number in the preference and undertake the other necessary operations, including asking the user for permission if changing things like preferred CP generator. As an aside: the binaries on the Hugin PPA still mention autopano-sift and autopano-sift-c as suggested packages. This is obsolete and should be removed IMHO. Happy Holidays!
