Source tarball can be downloaded at sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2018.0/hugin-2018.0rc1.tar.bz2/download or at launchpad: https://launchpad.net/hugin/2018.0/2018.0rc1/+download/hugin-2018.0rc1.tar.bz2 Verify its checksums: md5: a5932075a0f362ce1450d2f9575ae516 hugin-2018.0rc1.tar.bz2 sha1: 2913fc2c0a44bb3c9c24a5a656e2fc52ffed4f32 hugin-2018.0rc1.tar.bz2 This is a source code release. Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms. Please announce them here. (The rc1 correspond to changeset 10436a09620d in our repository, which is also tagged as 2018.0rc1). Changes since 2018.0 beta 1 * Some fixes to CMake build system (Mac OS) * Fixes a compilation problem with some compilers. * Updated some translations. * Improved check for photometric optimizer in assistant. * Fixes crash at startup under some circumstances. * Fixes crash when writing multi-page TIFF image with icc profile 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'. The release notes can be found at http://hugin.sourceforge.net/releases/2018.0.0/en.shtml Please test and report bug/issues to mailing list or bug tracker https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin Know issue Hugin does not run native on Wayland because of a bug in the underlying wxWidgets library. The source code contains a workaround which forces the usage of the XWayland emulation layer. This workaround has be activated during compiling by adding -DUSE_GDKBACKEND_X11=on to the CMake command line. -- 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.
