EXECUTABLES

Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms.

These executables are then added to the download section on SourceForge at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/

A number of users have built recent snapshots and executables are likely to be
announced within a few days of this tarball release.

Watch http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx for the announcements of binary
releases. If you don't see a binary for your platform it has most likely not
been produced yet. Consider stepping up to the task. Instructions at

http://wiki.panotools.org/Development_of_Open_Source_tools#Supported_Platforms

Announce your build on http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx

CHANGES SINCE 2011.4.0

The lensfun library for reading and writing lens parameters from/to database has now been integrated into Hugin.
Users can now search the lensfun library and load lens parameters.

Added new tool pto_gen for generation of pto file from image files.

Other Improvements

* Various improvements to cpfind including a prealign matching strategy and pair wise matching for multirow heuristic
* Added option to keep exposure fused stacks
* pano_modify: Added HDR autocrop option
* 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.

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:
- Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) is no longer supported.
- The PPC platform is no longer supported.
- The OpenMP enabled enblend is now compatible on Mac OS X Lion (10.7).
- The cmake compilation of Hugin is currently broken due to the fact that
the boost library on OS X is currently at version 1.50 and boost versions => 1.48
conflict with a number of Mac OS X macros (from AssertMacros.h). This can
not be disabled as WxWindows for Mac (a.k.a. WxMac) needs these macros.
An XCode build, where a specific boost (<=1.46) can be specified, is
possible. The 2012.0 OSX bundle will be based on an XCode build with boost
1.46.

An updated list of issues deemed to be critical, including discussions
and workarounds is in the issue tracker.

THANKS

Thanks to all the contributors to this release and members of the hugin-ptx
mailing list, too many to mention here.

Hugin can be found at http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ and at https://launchpad.net/hugin

Hi Harry. What would be the pros and cons of using / not using the installer dmg? Do you end up with the same end result?

I updated the sourcfeforge download page at hugin.sourceforge.net. (1)

It should reflect the 2012 downloads.

On Mac OS X programs get "registered" on startup. This means that if you have been using Hugin 2011.4 with PTBatcherGui 2011.4, these programs are registered.

When simply copying Hugin 2012.0 and PTBatcherGui 2012.0 to some foldee and leave the rest as it is, Hugin 2012 and PTBatcherGui do not get registered. If you start Hugin 2012.0, it will automatically be registered. If you start a stitch from hugin 2012.0, PTBatcherGui 2011.4 is called.
This can of course be overruled by simply manually starting PTBatcherGui 2012.0 as it gets registered upon startup.

The installer now does this registration for you, meaning that if you start a stitch from Hugin 2012, now PTBatcherGui 2012 is started.
On the other hand: If you now start a stitch from Hugin 2011.4, PTBatcherGui 2012 is again automatically started. As such that's no problem as the call to PTBatcherGui hasn't changed fro quite some time.

Didn't see this mentioned on the site. Does linefind work in 48-bit
color images now?

First thanks again for all your work on this.
When I first read your other email I thought it was a response to a problem. It makes more sense now that I've reread it. I had looked at the file sizes and worried that the installer being 5.7 MB smaller was missing something.

First of all thanks to everybody for their energy!

I just started the German version of the 2012.0.0 release notes and noticed a minor glitch:
the title tag of <http://hugin.sourceforge.net/releases/2012.0.0/en.shtml> incorrectly says "Hugin-2011.4.0 release notes".

Cheers,
Carl

Thanks. Updated.
The hugin website has a delayed update mechanism but the correct page should be visible somewhere this evening after 21:00 CET.
