Hi all, after the release of beta 1 of Hugin 2015.0 two weeks ago some bugs have been found and have been fixed. So today we are release beta 2
The new source tarball can be downloaded at sourceforge and launchpad, as usual http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2015.0/hugin-2015.0.0_beta2.tar.bz2/download https://launchpad.net/hugin/2015.0/2015.0beta2/+download/hugin-2015.0.0_beta2.tar.bz2 Verify its checksums MD5 cb2cbcca4d23511d845840d78ed5c2c1 hugin-2015.0.0_beta2.tar.bz2 SHA1 3591fd4ea4f1ba579b9a4ba61035810366fd835c hugin-2015.0.0_beta2.tar.bz2 Changes since beta1 * Reactivate scripting interface * Fixes several assert message errors * Fixes a crash in control point editor * Added option to optimize panorama after removing cp with edit cp tool * Fix for man pages * Renamed lensdb tool to hugin_lensdb Beta 2 is identical to changeset 31a6f3742639 in our repository. ATTENTION The necessary fixes for beta 2 have also changed some strings. So *all* translators please check your po file. Also the translation needs more work. Since beta1 only 2 languages have been updated (thanks Thomas Pryds and Kornel Benko and sorry for the new strings). So this is also a call for all translators: please update your po files. The release notes are here http://hugin.sourceforge.net/releases/2015.0.0/en.shtml They can also translated. EXECUTABLES Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms. They will be announced in this thread. CHANGES SINCE 2014.0.0 * Hugin 2015.0 has a number of new features. Most of the changes are under the hood to improve stability, allow easier maintenance and easier addition of new features. * The makefile based stitching engine has been replaced with direct calls to the underlying programs. This should reduce the overhead of calling the same program too often and so speed up the whole process. Hopefully this also allows the usage of more unusual characters in the filename. Instead of pto2mk and make we now have hugin_executor which can also be used for running the assistant from the command line. * Hugin now has it's own blender, verdandi, based on a watershed algorithm, which has been included in 'nona'. verdandi can be chosen as the blender by choosing "builtin" in the stitcher tab, and can also be set in the Preferences. verdandi can also be called as a command line tool. * The lensfun library has been removed as it did not fulfill our expectations. It has been replaced with our own camera and lens database which uses a data mining approach and operates automatically without user intervention. Geometric distortion and vignetting data have to be loaded manually. * The fast preview window has a new tool to add or remove control points to selected areas in the output projection. * Automatic exposure stack detection is now applied when loading images, and an option has been added to unlink image position when adding stacks. * The fine-tune and auto-estimate functions in the control point tab have been made projection aware. It should now work also with images with different fov or different projections. The fine-tune feature has had a significant speed up when Hugin is compiled with the libfftw3 library (optional). * PTBatcherGUI has more choice for the end of the process: depending on the operating system the PTBatcherGUI can be closed, the computer can be shut down or send to the hibernate mode. * PTBatcherGUI now shows the thumbnails when searching for images in directories. * Many of the underlying tools in hugin are now able to use available cpu cores. New tools added: ** verdandi: tool for image blending ** hugin_executor: stitching and run assistant from command line ** hugin_lensdb: tools for lens database maintenance -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
