Please announce them here.

(The beta 1 correspond to changeset cc97bcc7bbb2 in our repository, which 
is also tagged as 2016.2.0 beta1).

Changes Since 2016.0.0

* Allow reading of image positions from Papywizard XML files: First add the 
image to a new project and then select File, Import settings from 
Papywizard XML file... This will read the lens settings, the image 
positions and also, if applicable, the bracket settings. After this, the 
usual workflow is to run cpfind with --prealigned switch and then geocpset 
to connect orphanded images.
* The internal blender and verdandi got the possibility to blend seams as 
alternative to current hard seam: For each seam the color of second image 
is adapted to the match the color of the first seam. For this blender, the 
blender order changes according to the overlap. The blending starts with 
the exposure anchor and blends then all overlapping images. This blending 
mode is not suited if there are bigger misalignments or bigger parallax 
errors.
* The display of the control point error (after optimizing and in fast 
preview window) and the control point list window can now limited to take 
only control points in active images into account (menu Edit, Optimize only 
active images, connected with the setting on the optimizer tab).
* Improvements to mask tab in Hugin (edit crop of all images of the same 
lens at once) and find panorama dialog in PTBatcherGUI (remove images from 
found panoramas, split found panorama into two).
* Several improvements for Mac OS.
* Fixes several issues with fast preview window which could result in 
random crashes (uninitialized variables, memory leaks).

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'.
