This is a source code release. 
Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms. 
Please announce them here.

(The rc2 corresponds to changeset 5abfb4de7961 in our repository, which is 
also tagged as 2018.0rc2).

Changes since 2018.0 rc1
* Fixes crash when closing Hugin with open help window (Mac).
* Check window help position before opening (to prevent help window opening 
outside of desktop area).
* Fixes a warning in lens_calibration_gui

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'.

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.
