Today we are releasing release candidate 2 of Hugin 2015.0

The new source tarball can be downloaded at sourceforge and launchpad, as usual

Changes since rc1
* Fixed hang in PTBatcherGUI.
* Fixed crash when saving images. Improved handling of alpha channel loading/saving.
* Prevent now cp tool to select invalid regions.
* Updated CMake for some newer versions (Windows only).
* Verdandi can also also blend images with pixeltype double.

Rc1 is identical to changeset d497c7fc18666 in our repository, which is also tagged as 2015.0rc1

The release notes are here http://hugin.sourceforge.net/releases/2015.0.0/en.shtml

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

Hi all,

Today we are releasing release candidate 2 of Hugin 2015.0

Hi All

Please find packages of hugin 2015.0 rc2 for Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty),
14.10 (Utopic), 15.04 (Vivid) and 15.10 (Wily) in the Hugin PPA
Packagers "next Hugin Build" at
https://launchpad.net/~hugin/+archive/ubuntu/next/+packages

As always these packages are based on the Debian PhotoTools Maintainers
work, namely Andreas Metzler: Thank you guys!

Installation instructions:
Open a terminal window and issue the following command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hugin/next

The title of the PPA and the key used to sign it will be displayed. You
will have to confirm the inclusion of this PPA to the package sources of
you system by pressing enter.

Afterward, you can update you system using the commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

or whatever other method you prefer to update your system.

The same is explained at
https://launchpad.net/~hugin/+archive/ubuntu/next/
when you click 'Read about installing' under the title "Adding this PPA
to your system"


As a side note, I recommend to add the "latest Hugin builds" PPA at the
same time because there you will eventually get the final release. The
command for this PPA is:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hugin/hugin-builds

If you run into a show stopper and need to go back to your old hugin
version, issue these commands in a terminal window:

sudo apt-get purge hugin
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:hugin/next
sudo apt-get install hugin


Please send bug reports to this list or use
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin/+filebug
to report a bug.

Thank you very much for your participation.

Cheers

Thank you for the packages. I see a little problem: the mouse wheel doesn't work on sliders, e.g. resizing the preview window.

https://goo.gl/2GoKbT

When i rotate the mouse wheel on the bottom and right slider nothing happens.

Previusly i built hugin from source (lubuntu 14.04) and it worked.

Thank you in advance.

* Fixed hang in PTBatcherGUI.

I have tried again to use PTBachterGUI but on my pc (lubuntu 14.04 64, 4gb of ram) it's still almost unusable. It swaps (so it uses more than 3.5gb of ram) and it's incredibly slow stitching a 3 images panorama (14megapixel images).

I think it could be a nice thing to add a note about using hugin_stitch_project instead of PTBachterGU if there are such problems (is there an output difference?)

Thank you.

This is handled by the underlying wxWidgets framework and can't be influenced by Hugin itself.
So the question is: with which wxWidgets version (inclusive the options how wxWidgets is build) did you build. And what wxWidgets version is the package using?

I can't reproduce the issue. Both,hugin_stitch_project and PTBatcherGUI, are using the same code in an internal library. So I don't see why PTBatcherGUI should behave different than hugin_stitch_project concerning the ram usage.
Beside the size and the number of the input images also the size of the output image influences the memory usage. So check the size of your output image.

One more thing to check: check that your batch queue is clean. Start PTBatcherGUI with pressed ctrl key and delete the queue.

That was the solution ;) . Thank you!

Windows binaries for the Hugin 2015.0.0 RC2 version are now available.

These are 64bit Windows versions only.

The python versions require a pre-installed python 3.4.

Note that these builds will not run on Windows XP 64bit (and neither on 32bits windows versions of course).

64bit installer:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2015.0/HuginSetup_2015.0.0-rc2_64bit.exe/download

64bit installer with python support:

I have currently no intentions to build 32bit versions.

(7zip instead of zip as it gives a 23 MB file versus a 33 MB zip)

It seems to me that unlike the 2014 binaries, these 2015 binaries require freeglut to be installed.

I can confirm the problem. Installation didn't give any errors. Only
when starting after installation, the error message came up.

OK,

I will look into this problem. I'm on a short business trip and will not be able to look into it before Wednesday evening.

I just ran into this problem. As a workaround, copying freeglut.dll
from RC1 solved it for me.

Windows binaries for the Hugin 2015.0.0 RC2 version are now available again.

I'm sorry. I did test of course but forgot to first uninstall the rc1. When installing the rc2 the freeglut.dll was still available so I didn't miss it.

The exe's and 7z's now contain the freeglut.dll.

I named them the same with a p1 extension for patch 1. Actually this is not correct as I should have called them build 2 or something like that, but I only realized after uploading and when starting this mail. I'm too lazy to change that now. If it was for the final release I would have changed it.

These are 64bit Windows versions only.

The python versions require a pre-installed python 3.4.

Indeed freeglut.dll is missing in RC2. Checked it in the 7zipfile and it is missing. I didn't notice it because I let  the installer overwrite RC1 by RC2. I

Then the freeglut.dll still stays in Hugin and Hugin works normal. When first uninstalling RC1 and then installing RC2 then freeglut.dll is missing. As workaround you can first install RC1 and then install RC2 over RC1. Then hugin works normal.

Not necessary anymore. Just uploaded new builds. See post above this one.
