-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hugin-2011.0.0_beta2 RELEASE NOTES
Hugin is a panorama stitcher and more. A new version is available. A small error passed through the beta1. Please use this tarball instead. SCHEDULE https://launchpad.net/hugin/2011.0 The purpose of the schedule is to make the process as predictable as possible so that contributors can plan for their own contributions (e.g. translations and bug fixes) and distributors can plan for the binary builds. The schedule is just an indication. The release will happen when it is ready. DOWNLOAD The 2010.4beta2 source tarball can be downloaded * from sourceforge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2011.0_beta/hugin-2011.0.0_beta2.tar.bz2/download * from launchpad at http://launchpad.net/hugin/2011.0/2011.0beta2/+download/hugin-2011.0.0_beta2.tar.bz2 This is a source code release.

A number of users have built recent snapshots and executables are likely to be announced within a few days of this tarball release. Watch http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx for the announcements of binary releases. If you don't see a binary for your platform it has most likely not been produced yet. Consider stepping up to the task.

Details in the About menu. CHANGES SINCE 2010.4.0 Only two months have passed since our last release and yet there have been major changes. Hugin's own control point generator cpfind has been significantly improved; the last project from the 2010 Google Summer of Code has been integrated; many general improvements have been made. _Improved Built-in Control Points Generator_ Cpfind's detection ability has been significantly improved, especially for wide angle (> FOV 65°) images, fisheye images, and rotated images. Annecdotal evidence shows it to be more accurate than any other CP detector ever used with Hugin. A thorough, scientifical comparision against other CP detectors is welcome. If you have well formed comparison results, please publish a link on the Hugin mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx/ _Improved Fast Preview_ An Overview pane has been added to the Fast Preview window. Users can now interact with the panosphere like in a virtual reality viewer in real time and visualize all areas of the panorama with little distortion, including the zenith and nadir that are typically excessively distorted in the flat preview. It is now possible to drag individual images or arbitrary groups of images on the panosphere in the fast preview. A new gray point picker has been added for visual white balance correction. _Registration of Stereo Images_ align_image_stack is commonly used for the alignment of slightly misaligned images, e.g. for creating a High Dynamic Range image from multiple exposures when the camera was hand held. It has been extended with additional functionality for the registration of stereo images. _Other Improvements_ * Man pages are now compressed and the generation is integrated in the CMake process (Linux). * New Thoby projection modeling 10.5mm Nikkor fisheye lens * Improved support for some keyboard shortcuts * New Preferences: output file format (LDR only) * This release has the usual bugfixes and adds minor features. _Libraries and Build_ * Support has been added for gcc-4.6 compiler. * Libpano13 needs to be at least 2.9.18 _Control point generators_ Since 2010.4 Hugin ships with its own 'Patent Free' control point generator. Third-party generators are still supported through the plug-in architecture. CPFind is the recommended control point generator and the only one that has the endorsement of the Hugin project team. _Upgrading_ Upgrading from previous versions of Hugin should be seamless. If you do have problems with old settings, these can be reset in the Preferences by clicking 'Load defaults'. It is strongly recommeded to set the default control point detector to Hugin's CPFind. _Compiling_ For users compiling from source: * Hugin uses the wxWidgets GUI toolkit version >=2.7.0. 2.9 support is experimental. 2.8.11 is recommended. * boost >=1.34 is required. The following boost libraries are used: * filesystem * graph * iostreams * regex * signals * system * thread * Hugin requires a libtiff library with LZW support. * Hugin depends on libpano13 version >=2.9.18 * Hugin requires GLEW the OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library, freeglut the OpenGL utility toolkit, and libGLU the OpenGL utility library. * On Linux/Unix systems, libaries are now installed in a private location. This simplifies things for users who want to run multiple versions of Hugin simultaneously. * On Linux/Unix systems, Hugin can be compiled with gcc-4.4.4, gcc-4.5.1, and gcc-4.6. * On Windows, Hugin can be compiled with MSVC 2008 and MSVC 2010. The (free) Express Edition is enough, although it lacks OpenMP support.
