> CHANGES SINCE 2011.2.0
>
> Hugin has got a vertical feature detection tool for automatic
> levelling
> of panoramas. Beside this also many bugs have fixed and many general
> improvements have been made.
>
>
> Vertical feature detection tool
>
> Often a panorama, created from several single photos, is not level. In
> this case the experienced user adds vertical and horizontal control
> points to level the panorama.
>
> With this release Hugin introduces a tool named /linefind/ which
> automatically detects vertical features in the photos such as the
> edges
> of buildings and windows, and assigns vertical control points to them.
> This makes it easier than before to level a panorama, in most cases it
> works without any intervention.
>
>
> Other Improvements
>
>  * The Fast Preview window can now show composition guides such as
>    Rule of Thirds and Golden ratio to support an easier composition
>    of the final panorama.
>  * The output of High Dynamic Range (HDR) images has been modified to
>    prevent clipping of the exposure in EXR format images. The
>    previous versions of Hugin outputted HDR images with absolute
>    exposure values, now with this 2011.4.0 release, Hugin uses
> relative
>    exposure values. This means that the output Exposure Value (EV) of
>    the panorama, which can be set in the preview window, has an
>    influence on the HDR output (as already for normal LDR images) and
>    should be set to the medium exposure value of the images. If you
> set
>    the output exposure value to zero, the old behavior is restored.
>  * The batch processor PTBatcherGUI has been extended:
>      o It is now possible to directly add unaligned projects to the
>        assistant queue for aligning and control point generation.
>      o Successfully stitched projects can be automatically removed
> from
>        the queue, this makes the queue management easier.
>      o If a project was successfully finished by the assistant, it
> can
>        be automatically added to the stitching queue. This now allows
>        for a fully automatic panorama creation workflow.
>  * Many more improvements and bug fixes.
>
>
> 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.  It is the only control point generator endorsed by
> Hugin.
> Third-party generators may be compatible with the plug-in
> architecture.
>
>
> COMPILING
>
> Users compiling from source refer to the dependencies listed at
> http://wiki.panotools.org/Development_of_Open_Source_tools#Dependencies
>
> and the build processes listed at

>
> KNOWN ISSUES AND WORKAROUNDS
>
> Panosphere Overview window seperated from the content
> https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin/+bug/726997
>
>
> There is a known problem building Hugin with CMake 2.8.5rc2.
> Workaround: Upgrade to a newer CMake version.
>
>
> Mac OS X Users at Tiger and Lion: this version of Hugin contains an
> openMP enabled
> enblend and enfuse. These versions don't run on Tiger and currently
> not on Lion either.
> Please use the Tiger-compatible enblend and enfuse from the enblend-
> enfuse-4.0 folder
> in this dmg. You can specify alternative "external" enblend and enfuse
> from the Programs
> pane in the preferences after installing these special version by
> following the instructions
> in the README in the enblend-enfuse-4.0 folder.
