Hi all, we are starting a new release cycle for Hugin 2016.0. Today we are releasing beta1.
It can be downloaded at sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2016.0/hugin-2016.0.0_beta1.tar.bz2/download or at launchpad: https://launchpad.net/hugin/2016.0/2016.0beta1/+download/hugin-2016.0.0_beta1.tar.bz2 Verify its checksums: md5: a19adc768b71adb7cc183cd9c0bda5d2 hugin-2016.0.0.tar.bz2 sha1: bbca1f54880ba19d21ec71b1942d31f1bbb8e9f1 hugin-2016.0.0.tar.bz2 (Beta 1 is identical to changeset 5cc09f0259b5 in our repository, which is also tagged as 2016.0beta1). This is a source code release. Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms. Please announce them here. Changes Since 2015.0.0 - The first improvement concerns icc color profiles: Hugin has already copied the icc profile into the output file when stitching panoramas. Now also the display in the GUIs takes the icc profile into account. Celeste_standalone and cpfind read now also the icc profile and use it during its processings. - Beside the known output options Hugin now includes a user defined output sequence. With this option the user can create more flexible variants for the output. As an example a zero-noise output sequence is delivered with Hugin 2016.0. - Some buttons in the Hugin GUI now have a context menu for easier access to some function: - *Show all* in the fast preview window to allow better interaction with stacked projects. - *Celeste* button in the cp tab (panorama editor): the button can now be used to create control points or to clean control points with celeste or statistical methods. - The identify tool in the fast preview window now also shows the image numbers on top of the images. (This can be suppressed by pressing the alt button). Other Improvements - Many more improvements and bug fixes under the hood: incorrect behaviour of photometric optimizer, fixed merging of projects with line control points, ... Upgrading from previous versions of Hugin should be seamless. If you do have problems with old settings, these can be reset in the Preferences window by clicking 'Load defaults'. A draft of the release notes can be found at http://hugin.sourceforge.net/releases/2016.0.0/en.shtml IMPORTANT TODO for beta2/rc1 * Check if the new functions work on your system. * Test if new functions does not break existing functions. * Update the translation for your language. * Concerning the new output sequence: if you have created an own output sequence and find it could be also useful for other users, we can ship it also with hugin. So you can submit your output sequence to the mailing list or to the bug tracker. -- 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.
