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

(The rc 2 correspond to changeset eac5e8cc546e in our repository, which is also tagged as 2017.0 rc2).

Changes since 2017.0 rc 1
* Updated Hungarian and Dutch translation.
* Fixes message for failed assistant.
* Fixes deleting last mask in mask editor.
* Added some more checks for information in lens db.

Changes since 2017.0 beta 1
* Updated translations.
* Provide workaround for Wayland systems. It needs to be activated at compile time.
* Fixes crash with user defined sequences in menu.
* Don't show warning about unlinked images when loading lens settings for lens with only one image.
* Also accept cmd+A as select all in photo and optimizer tab (Mac only)
* User defined output sequences: Find also programs in bundle

Changes since 2016.2.0
The version 2017.0 is mainly a bug fix release. The biggest fixes regard:
* Several fixes for working with HDR images (display in GUI, photometric optimizer, handling of under/over exposured pixels in merging code).
* Fixes handling of masks in cpfind when images needs remapping for cp finding.
* Sometimes unsaved changes were disregarded without asking the user (e.g. when loading a project via the recently used projects list). Unsaved changes should now always require user confirmation.

Besides the bug fixes some smaller improvements have been implemented.
* Optimizer tabs uses now checkboxes instead of bold underlined font for marking of variables to be optimized.
* Use wxWidgets help windows instead of default browser (Linux&Mac only, this provides table of content, index and full text search in help files).
* Added special assistant variant for single image projects.
* Display of final panorama dimensions on stitcher tab.
* Extended the user defined output sequences:
   ** The shipped user defined output sequences are exposed in the GUI as own sub-menu.
   ** Added some more user defined output sequences (layered TIFF, cube faces).
   ** Added new placeholder %sourceimage% to user defined output sequence.

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'.

A first draft of release notes can be found at http://hugin.sourceforge.net/releases/2017.0.0/en.shtml

Know issues
Hugin does not run native on Wayland because of a bug in the underlying wxWidgets library.
The source code contains a workaround which forces the usage of the XWayland emulation layer.
This workaround has be activated during compiling (add -DUSE_GDKBACKEND_X11=on the the CMake command)

Hi!

Testing the release, but it seems it dropped support for Adobe tiff
compression:
> AdobeDeflate compression support is not configured.

Is that on purpose or just an omission?

Just an omission. It was configured with deflate support. But somehow it does not make it into the lib.

I uploaded an updated installer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2017.0/Hugin-2017.0rc2-win64-b.msi/download

Thank you for the prompt fix!

Another thing, when adding an equirectangular image into Hugin, it
automatically gets assigned a yaw of 180 degrees. It's been that way for
year.
Could that be changed to 0 degrees?
I do have another pet peewee, when using the edit cp in the fast
preview, it automatically runs optimisation with no option to change the
behavior. It would be great if it could be changed through options.
The optimization after every edit just slows the whole process down.

I can't reproduce this. Oh wait, this happens on when using add images in the fast preview window.

year.

And why has this not reported before?
I committed a fix to the default branch. But it will probably not make its way into 2017.0.

Drag'n'drop on the photos tab is how I usually add images.

Good question. I just learned to live with it and it got committed to
muscle memory.
It didn't occur to me to report it.
I'll get more involved with Hugin, I promise! :D

Great!

Oh! Must have been blind. Thanks!

Please test these packages and send error report, success stories and

I really do appreciate all the work the devs do on Hugin, but this kind of response is not likely to encourage others to report bugs (unless it's a "lost in translation" sort of thing).

I'm tracking these releases on FreeBSD, and they work modulo this
reported problem with the package refusing to build in the source
tree. If anybody wants a binary package, please let me know.
