Hugin 2016.0 RC1 release

[T. Modes]

Hi all,

after beta 1 some weeks ago we release today Hugin 2016.0 release candidate 1.
Some little bugs have been fixed and some translations have been updated.
(But there are still many language files out-of-date.)

It can be downloaded
at sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2016.0/hugin-2016.0.0_rc1.tar.bz2/download
or at launchpad: https://launchpad.net/hugin/2016.0/2016.0rc1/+download/hugin-2016.0.0_rc1.tar.bz2

Verify its checksums:
md5: fa969c6fc25f1137f72b9fe73e519bb6  hugin-2016.0.0_rc1.tar.bz2
sha1: dbd9625b6597a1545f7d96c83979762bf68de25b  hugin-2016.0.0_rc1.tar.bz2

(RC1 is identical to changeset 1876b5ca6eb9 in our repository, which is also tagged as 2016.0rc1).

This is a source code release. Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms. Please announce them here.

Changes since 2016.0 beta 1
* Fixed some smaller build problems.
* Fixed display of optimization details.
* Added identification for context menu on some buttons.
* Fix for internal blender when only a very narrow overlap exits.
* Updated some translations.

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'.

Thank you! Is it deliberate that it no longer ventures an opinion
about the quality of the fit?

I have now created a FreeBSD port for this version,
graphics/hugin-2016. I'll try to track any further RCs. This port
will go away and replace graphics/hugin when the version is released.

Send any comments on the port to me personally, copying the forum list
if you like. I don't promise to read the forum in a timely manner.
