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

(The beta 2 correspond to changeset 75168618c648 in our repository, which 
is also tagged as 2019.0beta2).

Changes since 2019.0 beta 1
* Integrated raw import into add images dialog.
* Moved raw converter settings into preferences.
* Updated translations and help pages.
* New parameter for user defined assistant.
* Fixes running geocpset from inside Hugin.
* Unified handling of feathered alpha channel.
* Fixed installing of lcms2.dll in Windows installer.

Some changes resulted in changed string. This was needed to improve the 
behaviour of the new raw import feature.
So some translation files needs also an update.

Changes since 2018.0
* Added raw import: It converts the RAW images to TIFF using a raw 
converter.
  This can be done by dcraw (requires additional exiftool), RawTherapee or
  darktable. These programs needs to be installed externally.
* Fixes for align_image_stack with EXR images.
* Added option for range compression. Can be helpful for LDR panoramas to 
  brighten the shadows before merging, because at this stage the blender 
has 
  some more information which can be helpful.
* New hotkeys for mask editor (change zoom level with 0, 1 and 2).
* Expression parser (pto_var and "manipulate image variables" in GUI) can 
now read also
  all image variables.
* line_find: Ignore lines with low distance to each other to get better 
coverage.
* pano_modify: Added new switch --projection-parameter to set projection 
parameters.
* Store program settings according to XDG base dir specification (Linux 
only, needs to 
  compile with wxWidgets 3.1.1 or later).

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'.

IMPORTANT
This is also a call for translators. Please update your translation files. 
Some new strings (since 2018.0, but also since 2019.0 beta 1) have been 
added. Sorry for the inconvenience.
