Hi all, after releasing 2013.0 (thanks to Harry for his job as release manager) we need to make some ideas about the next release.
For releasing Hugin 2014.0 we need also to release libpano 2.9.19. Hugin 2014.0 depends on some new features added to libpano 2.9.19. I assume there are only a few people out there which are using only the command line tools of libpano. Most people will use Hugin as GUI for libpano and use some of the advanced features. So both packages needs to tested and the fix on the appropriate place: it can be inside Hugin or inside libpano. So the release cycles needs to synchronized. And we will need release manager for both: is there is somebody who is capable and willing to do this job? Just a short summary about the main changes: libpano * the biggest changes is under the hood: there was a massive cleanup of the used variables (changesets 0a526edf75cc and 7d932f0d1221; here the users does not seen anything, but it helps to maintain a clean source and to add new features) * improved support for Photoshop files * introduce of the image variables Tpy and Tpp to better support of translation parameters for nadir images * new projection: Hammer-Aitoff (some issues have already been fixed in the meantime) Hugin * inherit many of the libpano improvement * the translation plane variables Tpy and Tpp have been added to the GUI (better support for translation parameter, e.g. for nadir images, also pano with translation parameters can now rotated) * improvement of the GPU remapping code (bug fixes in the glue code, added some missing GPU transformation, now also fisheye lenses are supported by GPU code) * better support for line control point in Control points tab (it still requires that the same image is displayed left and right for full features, but also better support for line control points above several images) * obsolete programs matchpoint, nona_gui and PTBatcher have been removed * outdated translation have been removed from the default install * new command line tools for CLI processing ** pto_mask: manipulate mask in project file ** pto_template: apply template to project file For both there were also many small issues fixed. So this is the call for the release managers. I hope there are volunteers to help in this process. (If you want to know, what we expect have a look at http://wiki.panotools.org/Development_of_Open_Source_tools#Release where the procedure is described. It is not perfect, but it will give you a first impression. And you can also help to improve this description.)
