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.

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)
