CHANGES SINCE 2013.0.0


   - inherit many of the libpano improvements (of version 2.9.19)
   - the translation plane variables Tpy and Tpp have been added to the GUI
   (better support for translation parameters, e.g. for nadir images. A pano
   with translation parameters can now be rotated)
   - improvement of the GPU remapping code (bug fixes in the glue code,
   added some missing GPU transformations. Now fisheye lenses are supported by
   GPU code as well)
   - better support for line control point in Control points tab (it still
   requires that the same image is displayed left and right for full features,
   but also better support for line control points above several images)
   - obsolete programs matchpoint, nona_gui and PTBatcher have been removed
   - outdated translations have been removed from the default install
   - initialize the colour balance values during loading with EXIF values
   (this information is only stored and decoded by some cameras (mainly models
   by Panasonic, Pentax, Olympus, Nikon))
   - improved the assistant
   - allow customization of exiftool command used to copy metadata to
   output images


New tools added:

   - pto_mask: manipulate mask in project file
   - pto_template: apply template to project file
   - pto_move: move or copy project files with all associated images



Other Improvements
* 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
http://wiki.panotools.org/Development_of_Open_Source_tools#Build_your_Own_Test_Builds

More information in the README and INSTALL_cmake files in the tarball.
