Going over the list of problems, I see an easy solution. If I build a package with the old (0.7 installer bundled) versions of enblend and ap-sift-c, and we consider the translation a 'known issue', would it be good enough to release an installer? Are there features of 0.8 that depend on new things introduced in the later versions of these two programs? When the problems are fixed, we can release new installers, that we can call 0.8 update x if we don't want to upset the version numbers. I think in striving for the perfect release, the most important thing (releasing it) is neglected. So there are still some issues. But hugin 0.8 hasn't yet crashed on me without warning, like the latest so- called stable releases of large OSS projects like OpenOffice or Inkscape do quite regularly. In fact, in my personal experience the 0.7 release sometimes had some inexplicable and irreproducible crashes that I haven't seen in any of the 0.8 rc snapshots I've used.
Anyway, that is my take on it. Yuv -who has a much bigger track record on this project than I do - clearly sees things differently. How does the rest of the community feel about this issue? allard On Aug 10, 10:14 pm, Yuval Levy <goo...@levy.ch> wrote: > Erik Krause wrote: > > I see two possible cases: > > - 0.8 is not stable on windows, why then was it released? > > - 0.8 works ok on windows, why then is it not on the official download? > > Maybe you should understand the details before posting such short > sighted views, > > <http://panospace.wordpress.com/2009/08/11/give-a-man-a-fish/> > > > it is advertised > > > as 0.8.0 but if you click the windows download you get the 0.7 version. > > maybe we should point to the same 0.8 version that is available to users > of all Linux platforms? > > Yuv --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
