Hugin 2019.0 beta 1 released

[T. Modes]

Hi all,

today we are releasing a first beta of Hugin 2019.0.

Source tarball can be downloaded

or at launchpad: https://launchpad.net/hugin/2019.0/2019.0beta1/+download/hugin-2019.0.beta1.tar.bz2

md5: 855cd48f7b2d573b5b8b13e92791b9b1  hugin-2019.0.beta1.tar.bz2

sha1: 5141b2387e76a44b6d49eaa66e2fc0df9cf99d01  hugin-2019.0.beta1.tar.bz2

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

(The beta 1 correspond to changeset 899a2acfda64 in our repository, which is also tagged as 2019.0beta1).

Changes since 2018.0
* Added raw import: It converts the RAW images to TIFF using a raw converter.
  This can be done by dcraw (requires additional exiftool), RawTherapee or
  darktable. These programs needs to be installed externally.
* Fixes for align_image_stack with EXR images.
* Added option for range compression. Can be helpful for LDR panoramas to
  brighten the shadows before merging, because at this stage the blender has
  some more information which can be helpful.
* New hotkeys for mask editor (change zoom level with 0, 1 and 2).
* Expression parser (pto_var and "manipulate image variables" in GUI) can now read also
  all image variables.
* line_find: Ignore lines with low distance to each other to get better coverage.
* pano_modify: Added new switch --projection-parameter to set projection parameters.
* Store program settings according to XDG base dir specification (Linux only, needs to
  compile with wxWidgets 3.1.1 or later).

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'.

IMPORTANT
This is also a call for translators. Please update your translation files. Some new strings have been added.

Please test and report bug/issues to mailing list or bug tracker https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin

For the Windows installer a bug has been reported. When you update an existing Hugin installation you can get an error about missing lcms2.dll file.

To fix this, go to the Control panel, under Programs>Programs and Features select Hugin and press Repair. This will install the missing file.

Sorry for the inconvenience. It will be fix to work at the first time in the next installer.

[Frederic Da Vitoria]

Thank you for the fix, Thomas. Unfortunately, it does not work on my Windows 10: IIUC, the Windows 10 equivalent of the Repair button is supposed to be hidden behind the Modify button, but the Modify button is disabled. What does work (your suggestion led me to this solution) is running again the installer and choosing the Repair button.

Hi!

I don't know if it's a bug or not but I noticed a different cpfind behaviour on windows vs linux.

Let's say I have a base.pto file with these lines (truncated):

i w4608 h3456 f3 v125 a0.024 b-0.033 c0.05 n"APN0.JPG"
i w4608 h3456 f3 v125 a0.024 b-0.033 c0.05 n"APN1.JPG"

a,b,c values are not linked for the two images.

On linux, with cpfind -o out.pto base.pto I get:

i w4608 h3456 f3 v125 a0.024 b-0.033 c0.05 n"APN0.JPG"
i w4608 h3456 f3 v125 a=0 b=0 c=0 n"APN1.JPG"

a,b,c for APN1.JPG are linked with APN0.JPG

On windows, I don't have this strange result, the values stay unlinked.

That's strange. I'm tested this on Windows 10 and I have the Repair and Modify button.

Nevertheless it good that you found a solution for you. I hopefully fixed this for the next installer.

I can't reproduce this behavior.  For me a/b/c remain unlinked on Windows and also on Unix when running cpfind.

I tested with your file.

Hi Thomas!

I'm sorry, I made some mistakes during my tests. But it is still
possible to reproduce this behavior:

i w4608 h3456 f3 v125 a0.024 b-0.033 c0.05 n"APN0.JPG"

i w4608 h3456 f3 v125 a=0 b-0.033 c=0 n"APN1.JPG"

only a and c are linked in the input file, and a,b,c are linked in the
output pto.
Yes, it's a little strange to have some link/unlinked parameters for the
lens distortion, and perhaps it's a normal behaviour.

That's normal behavior. During loading all Hugin program does some checking and fix such issues.

You can't achieve this linking state inside Hugin.

(Internal the lens distortion is a single variable. So it can only linked or not not linked. But such a partial linking is not possible.)
