The source tarball can be downloaded at launchpad
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2015.0/hugin-2015.0.0.tar.bz2/download
or

(upload at sourceforge is still down, so currently the source tarball can only be downloaded from launchpad or use the mercurial repository)

Verify its checksums

The release is identical to release candidate 3.
The source release is identical to changeset cdefc6e53a58in our repository, which is also tagged as 2015.0.0

The release notes are here http://hugin.sourceforge.net/releases/2015.0.0/en.shtml

EXECUTABLES
Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms. They will be announced in this thread.

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

Hi Tomas,

How did you create the final tar.bz? It still mentions the hg build stamp like 2015.0.0.<hg stamp>. The final build should only be 2015.0.0

I now manually removed it from hugin_version.h after configuration

Hello,

FYI it is going to take some time for Debian to upgrade from rc3 to the
release since we are currently in the middle of the gcc5 transition.

Windows binaries for the final Hugin 2015.0.0 release are now available.

These are 64bit Windows versions only.

The python versions require a pre-installed python 3.4.

Note that these builds will not run on Windows XP 64bit (and neither on 32bits windows versions of course).

64bit installer:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2015.0/HuginSetup_2015.0.0_64bit.exe/download

64bit installer with python support:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2015.0/HuginSetup_2015.0.0_64bit-python.exe/download

64bit 7z file (simply un7zip to some location and use from there):

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2015.0/Hugin_2015.0.0_64bit.7z/download

64bit 7z file with python support  (simply un7zip to some location and use from there):

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2015.0/Hugin_2015.0.0_64bit-python.7z/download

I have currently no intentions to build 32bit versions.

(7zip instead of zip as it gives a 23 MB file versus a 33 MB zip)

Note also that the default download link for (windows) Hugin on sourceforge has now been set to the HuginSetup_2015.0.0_64bit.exe file.

I will adapt the download page asap.

Hoi,

Harry

all last releases were tagged with the revision number, e.g. official 2014.0 windows binaries reports as "2014.0.0.5da69bc383dd built by Matthew Petroff"
And in CMakeList.txt we have
# version to display
IF (HUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_VERSION EQUAL 1)
  set(DISPLAY_VERSION "Pre-Release ${V_MAJOR}.${V_MINOR}.${V_PATCH}.${HUGIN_WC_REVISION}")
ELSE (HUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_VERSION EQUAL 1)
  set(DISPLAY_VERSION "${V_MAJOR}.${V_MINOR}.${V_PATCH}.${HUGIN_WC_REVISION}")
ENDIF (HUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_VERSION EQUAL 1)

For this to work we have the rev.txt file.
If you want to change this, we need to adopt also the whole build system (and take development version, beta/rc and release into account).

Thomas

[Harry van der Wolf]

Ok, clear. It's just that we never did this on OSX.

I have now adapted the hugin_version.h and the nsis build files before building  hugin and before creating the executables. "my version" of Hugin really mentions only the 2015.0.0 version stamp, which is also how it isdescribed in the release wiki as release builds are no mercury intermediate builds.

It's not that important but I think it is "cleaner".

Can you give an exact link to the wiki where this is mentioned?
I have not read something similar.

Thomas

[Harry van der Wolf]

Hi Thomas,

You are absolutely right. Because of how we did it on OS X I was so convinced it was part of the release, that I incorrectly thought it to be part of the wiki, but it's not.

Sorry.

Harry

I was hoping to see a long standing problem get fixed but it's still there.  Please see the attached screen shot.  The number boxes for "displayed images" is not just a cosmetic issue, it's also an operational issue if the number of images exceeds 30.

Are you guys going to build a Mac OS 10 version or did I miss the Mac compatible release?

I am getting stuck on "The assistant did not complete successfully. Please check the 
resulting project file."

When I do a search on the web, there are others getting this message.  What does it mean?  Check what?

Please provide some guide line as to what is expected us to do?

Thanks,

[Terry Duell]

I haven't seen this message, but "check your resulting project file" would
mean you should check the .pto file that would have been written in your
project folder or directory.
It will have a name like xxxx-yyyy.pto where xxxx and yyyy are the
first-last image files in the project.
The .pto is a text file and hence can be opened in any text editor.
If this does not help find the cause of your problem, could you attach a
copy of the .pto from a project that gives this message?

Hugin releases are always built by volunteers of the community.
Up to now this was Mathieu Desile for OS X, he has not (yet) provided an up-to-date build.

A not-so-up-to-date how-to for building hugin on OS X can be found on http://wiki.panotools.org/Build_a_MacOSX_Universal_Hugin_bundle_with_Xcode or http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_OSX
I cannot provide a binary, since I’m using Homebrew [1] instead of MacPorts or Fink and have not succeeded yet.

Greetings,

[Stan Green]

Habi,
Thank you for the update. I will be anxiously waiting for the new Mac build. The old one would not work on Yosemite.
Thank you,
Stan

Ciao Stan.
I’m using “2014.0.0 built by Matthieu DESILE” on my Mac with Yosemite (10.10.5 (14F27)) without too many problems.
What’s the problem you’re facing?

Habi,
I was unable to get Hugin merge. It has been several months since I last tried it so I am a little foggy about the specifics. But Terri was trying to help me, to no avail.
