[T. Modes]

Hi all,

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

(The beta 1 correspond to changeset 2eb1e558a243 our repository, which is also tagged as 2025.0beta1).

Changes since 2024.0

The most changes are under the hood and affect mainly the builders.

Now a C++17 compiler is needed. Therefore the boost library is not needed anymore. Also libjpeg and libpng are not needed when building the shared version (which is the default).

wxWidgets 3.2 or later is now required. The code has be refactored to follow the modern wxWidgets code style. With this change Hugin is now using vector SVG files instead of raster PNG files for the toolboor and buttons. This should improve the appearance on hdpi displays.

A new GUI has be added: hugin_toolbox. It provides a GUI for enfuse and for simple perspective correction.

Beside there are many small bugfixes.

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'.

Please test and report bug/issues to mailing list or bug tracker https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin (so issues can be fixed before the final release).

Windows binaries (64 bit) can be found at sourceforge:

Request for translators
Please update the translation file of your language. New strings have been added, mainly by hugin_toolbox.

Hurrah! Unfortunately, I'll be away from home for two weeks, so cannot try building and playing with it. Me sad. But thank you, thank you, thank you!

What is this "shared" version?

It supports BigTIFF output?

Of course, the question is, will it build on Debian Bookworm. I guess I'll get to find that out.

Excellent! My 4K display will say thank you, as will my eyes.

Sounds interesting. I guess it can process an exposure or focus stack by itself?

Hello and thank you Thomas.

If I find anything wrong, can write about it in this thread or do you
prefer me to create a separate thread ?

[Frédéric Da Vitoria]

... or add an entry in the launchpad bug tracker ?

[T. Modes]

I would prefer to open a bug report on launchpad.

But you can also write in this thread.

bookworm comes with libwxgtk3.2-1 (sudo apt install libwxgtk3.2-1 libwxgtk3.2-dev) 

The problem is libtiff-dev

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libwebp-dev : Depends: libwebp7 (= 1.2.4-0.2+deb12u1) but 1.5.0-5 is to be installed
               Depends: libwebpmux3 (= 1.2.4-0.2+deb12u1) but 1.5.0-5 is to be installed
               Depends: libwebpdemux2 (= 1.2.4-0.2+deb12u1) but 1.5.0-5 is to be installed

I just did a quick check. I will look further this weekend.

Thanks Thomas!

As usual there is a preview build for fedora here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bpostle/panorama/ and 2025.0.0 will get pushed to official fedora when it is released.
