(This release is identical to release candidate 2. The release corresponds to changeset 5abfb4de7961 in our repository, which is also tagged as 2018.0).

Changes since 2017.0

The version 2018.0 is mainly a bug fix release and introduce some minor new features.
* Several improvements for optimizer tabs:
   **mark deselected images
   ** allow changing optimizer variables for all selected images at once
   ** option to ignore line cp

* hugin_stacker: New tool to stack overlapping images with several averaging modes (e.g. mean, median).

* Hugin: Added option to disable auto-rotation of images in control point and mask editor.
* Nona, verdandi and hugin_stacker can now write BigTIFF images (for files >4 GB). The output of BigTIFF has to manually activated on the command line. It is not set automatically. (For a complete panorama in BigTIFF you will probably also need enblend/enfuse from repository. The last released version of enblend does not yet support writing BigTIFF files.)

* Added expression parser to GUI: This allows to manipulate several image variables at once. (This is the same as running pto_var --set from the command line.) This can be used e.g. to prealign the images in a given setup and then run cpfind --prealigned to search control points only in overlapping images.
* Add user-defined assistant and expose it in the GUI. It allows to set up different assistant strategies without the need to recompiling. Provide also some examples (scanned images, multi-row panoramas with orphaned images, single-shot panorama cameras).

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'.

The release notes can be found at http://hugin.sourceforge.net/releases/2018.0.0/en.shtml

Know issue

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 by adding -DUSE_GDKBACKEND_X11=on to the CMake command line.

In the Windows version the version number in the about screen showed the pre-release prefix. This seems to confuse a few people. I uploaded a new version, which fixes this.
The download link is the same

This breaks POLA. The tarball for 2017.0 was called
hugin-2017.0.0.tar.bz2. Does the project intend to truncate the name
from now on, or was this an oversight?

This was an oversight. Renamed/uploaded the files again.

OK, done, tested, committed to the FreeBSD repo:
/usr/ports/graphics/hugin. The package will take a day or two.

Hi,

there’s a strange behaviour in the new version on OS X. When starting the stitch, I'm pesented with a dialogue:

Specify project source project file

This does not happen with previous versions.

Also, I still need to unquarantine hugin for any stitching to work with xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ./Hugin.app.
