CHANGES SINCE 2013.0.0

inherit many of the libpano improvements (of version 2.9.19)
the translation plane variables Tpy and Tpp have been added to the GUI (better support for translation parameters, e.g. for nadir images. A pano with translation parameters can now be rotated)

improvement of the GPU remapping code (bug fixes in the glue code, added some missing GPU transformations. Now fisheye lenses are supported by GPU code as well)
better support for line control point in Control points tab (it still requires that the same image is displayed left and right for full features, but also better support for line control points above several images)

obsolete programs matchpoint, nona_gui and PTBatcher have been removed
outdated translations have been removed from the default install
initialize the colour balance values during loading with EXIF values (this information is only stored and decoded by some cameras (mainly models by Panasonic, Pentax, Olympus, Nikon))

improved the assistant
allow customization of exiftool command used to copy metadata to output images

New tools added:

pto_mask: manipulate mask in project file
pto_template: apply template to project file

pto_move: move or copy project files with all associated images

Other Improvements
* Many more improvements and bug fixes.

UPGRADING

Upgrading from previous versions of Hugin should be seamless. If you do have

problems with old settings, these can be reset in the Preferences by clicking
'Load defaults'.

It is strongly recommeded to set the default control point detector to
Hugin's CPFind. It is the only control point generator endorsed by Hugin.

Third-party generators may be compatible with the plug-in architecture.

COMPILING

Users compiling from source refer to the dependencies listed at
http://wiki.panotools.org/Development_of_Open_Source_tools#Dependencies

and the build processes listed at
http://wiki.panotools.org/Development_of_Open_Source_tools#Build_your_Own_Test_Builds

More information in the README and INSTALL_cmake files in the tarball.

Hmm,

I don't know what happened to the format. It has switched to some ASCII like format inside HTML. It was OK before sending.

Thanks for the Windows distribution.

I faced the "make Interrupt/Exception caught (code = 0xc0000005...)".
Searching on Google, I found I do have a directory with "...(x86).." in
my path variable, unfortunately this is not under my control.

Replacing make (4.0) with the version distributed with Hugin 2013 (3.82)
solved the problem.

May I suggest you stick to this version of make, until the bug is fixed?

Thanks for the bug report. I'll switch back to the older version of make.
