what camera/lens are you using?

the default parameter set in 2010.4 is not optimal for fisheyes & wide angle 
lenses.

a significant improvement has been added in the last weekto 2010.5 (dev 
version) and will be released with 2011.0, tentatively scheduled for this 
spring (and which depends on a newer version of libpano13, the release process 
of which has not started yet).

2010.4 can still work like 2010.2 with the old autopano-sift control point 
finder.  It is in no way inferior to 2010.2 and in many ways superior (more 
robust makefile stitching system; system diagonstic; and a lot a lot a lot of 
other improvements.

Can you please trust the Hugin project and ship 2010.4?  if you want to be 
picky, change the default from cpfind to autopano-sift like in 2010.2.  This 
will anyway affect only new users.  Upgrading users will have their 
preferences untouched and use whatever CP detector is defined in their 
preferences.

cpfind works perfectly fine with the average lens/camera combination 
(rectilinear, in the range 24mm and up).  It stitched a few panoramas of up to 
136 pictures flawlessly and without human intervention.

For fisheye (15mm) I had to change a couple of parameters and then it detected 
points.  Not super robust, but not bad either.  There are enough threads with 
information about this on our official mailing list 
http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx

At this point I strongly recommend shipping 2010.4 - it does not break any of 
the 2010.2 functionality (i.e. what you are used to stays the same) and has 
significant improvements of which cpfind is just one of them.  Details: 
http://hugin.sourceforge.net/releases/2010.4.0/en.shtml

I do not advise to ship the development version 2010.5.  It is available from 
the Hugin PPA https://launchpad.net/~hugin nightlies and while some users 
including myself are already using it, the newly introduced features are still 
too unstable for the average user.
