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
