Hi all, today we are releasing a first beta of Hugin 2018.0. (The final release will not be this year, therefor I called it 2018.0)
Source tarball can be downloaded at sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2018.0/hugin-2018.0beta1.tar.bz2/download or at launchpad: https://launchpad.net/hugin/2018.0/2018.0beta1/+download/hugin-2018.0beta1.tar.bz2 <https://launchpad.net/hugin/2017.0/2017.0beta1/+download/hugin-2017.0beta1.tar.bz2> Verify its checksums: md5: ca73a7566423ed7147efe04ad6bff0c2 hugin-2018.0beta1.tar.bz2 sha1: 7e61d268f0b164218003f4be90ad007e460fbc32 hugin-2018.0beta1.tar.bz2 This is a source code release. Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms. Please announce them here. (The beta 1 correspond to changeset 5089f6e3961e in our repository, which is also tagged as 2018.0 beta1). Changes since 2017.0 The version 2018.0 is mainly a bug fix release and introduce some minor new features. * Several improvements for optimizer tabs: **mark deselected images ** allow changing optimizer variables for all selected images at once ** option to ignore line cp * hugin_stacker: New tool to stack overlapping images with several averaging modes (e.g. mean, median). * Hugin: Added option to disable auto-rotation of images in control point and mask editor. * Nona, verdandi and hugin_stacker can now write BigTIFF images (for files >4 GB). The output of BigTIFF has to manually activated on the command line. It is not set automatically. (For a complete panorama in BigTIFF you will probably also need enblend/enfuse from repository. The last released version of enblend does not yet support writing BigTIFF files.) * Added expression parser to GUI: This allows to manipulate several image variables at once. (This is the same as running pto_var --set from the command line.) This can be used e.g. to prealign the images in a given setup and then run cpfind --prealigned to search control points only in overlapping images. * Add user-defined assistant and expose it in the GUI. It allows to set up different assistant strategies without the need to recompiling. Provide also some examples (scanned images, multi-row panoramas with orphaned images, single-shot panorama cameras). Upgrading from previous versions of Hugin should be seamless. If you do have problems with old settings, these can be reset in the Preferences window by clicking 'Load defaults'. A first draft of release notes can be found at http://hugin.sourceforge.net/releases/2018.0.0/en.shtml IMPORTANT This is also a call for translators. Please update your translation files. Some new strings have been added. Please test and report bug/issues to mailing list or bug tracker https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin The user defined output sequence and user defined assistant can be extended for some use cases. We can ship with some more file or provide them for download (when they are more special). If you have questions or want to include your use case/file post to the mailing list. -- 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.
