Hello again!

        We have mixed feelings with the second release candidate for
Enblend/Enfuse version 4.1: One serious bug was identified and
promptly squashed (+), but another could not be eradicated in time
only circumnavigated (#).

We have put tar-balls of RC2 at

        
http://sourceforge.net/projects/enblend/files/enblend-enfuse/enblend-enfuse-4.1/

The archive files there are derived from revision 17a9b2f63d9a
in the Mercurial repository

        http://enblend.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/enblend/enblend/

The following problems have been fixed since RC1:

        * Always link against the Boost "system" library.  This fixes
          compilation problems with newer versions of Boost.

        * Adapt the detection of newer Boost "filesystem" libraries.
          Now old (~1.44) as well as new (1.53) Boost versions are
          auto-detected.

        * Include all files in the (Automake generated) tarball
          ("enblend-enfuse-4.1rc2.tar.gz") that are necessary to
          configure with the CMake system.

        * Improve on the graphical debugging output of the seam-line
          generator.

        * Fix a bug in the polygon closer function, which caused
          problems with certain multi-segment contours, i.e. multiple
          seam lines in a single pair of overlapping images.  (+)

        * Stick with Nearest-Feature Transform as default primary seam
          generator.  This has been the default for 4.0, too.

          Despite its overall superiority, the Graph-Cut algorithm
          does not play well enough with the latest versions of the
          Vigra library to allow for electing it the new default in
          Enblend-4.1.  It is available on demand though with option
          "--primary-seam-generator=graph-cut".  (#)

          For those interested, the Vigra/GraphCut bug bites like
          this:
                  enblend: an exception occured
                  enblend: Invariant violation!
                  connected components: Need more labels than can
                          be represented in the destination type.

          We are working on the problem.  It will be fixed in 4.2!

root directory of the distribution source tarball or online at
