All, As already mentioned before in the 2013rc1 thread: I wrote the english release notes quite some time ago. 3 March to be exactly, but I stupidly forgot to post them with the beta1 at that time.
You can find the release notes as hugin-2013.0.0.txt inside the tarballs and inside the 2013.0 branch, but I also attached it to this mail. Please first check whether the english is correct and whether the notes are complete with regard to "things that should be mentioned". If we all agree I can update the notes in the 2013 branch and we can start to translate. best, Harry -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.

For executables see below. This tarball is equivalent to rev/changeset ########## in our Mercurial repository, where it is also tagged 2013.0.0 Verify its SHA1SUM ################################ hugin-2013.0.0.tar.bz2 EXECUTABLES Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms. These executables are then added to the download section on SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/ A number of users have built recent snapshots and executables are likely to be announced within a few days of this tarball release. Watch http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx for the announcements of binary releases. If you don't see a binary for your platform it has most likely not been produced yet. Consider stepping up to the task. Instructions at http://wiki.panotools.org/Development_of_Open_Source_tools#Supported_Platforms Announce your build on http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx CHANGES SINCE 2012.0.0 * The greatest change is the redesign of the (Graphical) User Interface (GUI). The user interface now consists of three modes: Simple, Advanced and Expert. The Simple interface is for the beginning panorama photographer and offers all tools to create your panorama. You can also use this mode if you have a simple, straightforward panorama. The Simple interface mode uses the "Fast Preview" window as its main workflow window. The Advanced interface mode offers you more options to improve your panorama. It uses the Panorama Editor as its main window. The Expert mode gives you access to all options and functions that Hugin has to offer. This is where you can optimize your complicated, multilayer, mosaic, multi-stack, you name it, panorama. It also uses the Panorama Editor as its main window. * The Hugin build for Mac OS X has switched from Carbon to Cocoa and is now fully 64bit. New tools added: * pto_var ( change image variables inside pto files) * pto_lensstack (modify assigned lenses and stack in pto files) * geocpset (set/add geometric constraints for multirow panorama with featureless images) Other Improvements * Many more improvements and bug fixes. UPGRADING Upgrading from previous versions of Hugin should be seamless. If you do have problems with old settings, these can be reset in the Preferences by clicking 'Load defaults'. It is strongly recommeded to set the default control point detector to Hugin's CPFind. It is the only control point generator endorsed by Hugin. Third-party generators may be compatible with the plug-in architecture. COMPILING Users compiling from source refer to the dependencies listed at http://wiki.panotools.org/Development_of_Open_Source_tools#Dependencies and the build processes listed at http://wiki.panotools.org/Development_of_Open_Source_tools#Build_your_Own_Test_Builds More information in the README and INSTALL_cmake files in the tarball. KNOWN ISSUES AND WORKAROUNDS There is a known problem building Hugin with CMake 2.8.5rc2. Workaround: Upgrade to a newer CMake version. Mac OS X: - Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) is no longer supported. - The PPC platform is no longer supported. - The OpenMP enabled enblend is now compatible on Mac OS X Lion (10.7). - The cmake compilation of Hugin is currently broken due to the fact that the boost library on OS X is currently at version 1.50 and boost versions => 1.48 conflict with a number of Mac OS X macros (from AssertMacros.h). This can not be disabled as WxWindows for Mac (a.k.a. WxMac) needs these macros. An XCode build, where a specific boost (<=1.46) can be specified, is possible. The 2013.0 OSX bundle will be based on an XCode build with boost 1.46. An updated list of issues deemed to be critical, including discussions and workarounds is in the issue tracker. https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin/+bugs?search=Search&field.importance=Critical THANKS Thanks to all the contributors to this release and members of the hugin-ptx mailing list, too many to mention here.
