EXECUTABLES

Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms.

These executables are then added to the download section on SourceForge at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/

A number of users have built recent snapshots and executables are likely to be
announced within a few days of this tarball release.

Watch http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx for the announcements of binary
releases.  If you don't see a binary for your platform it has most likely not
been produced yet.  Consider stepping up to the task.  Instructions at

CHANGES SINCE 2011.4.0

The lensfun library for reading and writing lens parameters from/to database has now been integrated into Hugin.
Users can now search the lensfun library and load lens parameters.

Added new tool pto_gen for generation of pto file from image files.

Other Improvements

  * Various improvements to cpfind including a prealign matching strategy and pair     wise matching for multirow heuristic
  * Added option to keep exposure fused stacks
  * pano_modify: Added HDR autocrop option
  * 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.


KNOWN ISSUES AND WORKAROUNDS

Panosphere Overview window seperated from the content
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin/+bug/726997

There is a known problem building Hugin with CMake 2.8.5rc2.
Workaround: Upgrade to a newer CMake version.

Mac OS X:
- Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) is no longer supported.
- The PPC platform is no longer supported.
- The OpenMP enabled enblend is now compatible on Mac OS X Lion (10.7).
- The cmake compilation of Hugin is currently broken due to the fact that
the boost library on OS X is currently at version 1.50 and boost versions => 1.48
conflict with a number of Mac OS X macros (from AssertMacros.h). This can
not be disabled as WxWindows for Mac (a.k.a. WxMac) needs these macros.
An XCode build, where a specific boost (<=1.46) can be specified, is
possible. The 2012.0 OSX bundle will be based on an XCode build with boost
1.46.

An updated list of issues deemed to be critical, including discussions
and workarounds is in the issue tracker.

I would like to test the new version.

Does anyone have a windows build?

Thanks!

Please explain. I don't understand what you mean. I uploaded it to launchpad and I can download it as well from launchpad.
And if I test (verify) it against the download, it is correct,

There is a network of 'keyservers' that host public keys, they also
host the 'web of trust' created when people sign each others keys.

So you need to upload your public key to the keyservers:

Great!

I successfully run the 64-bit Python enabled build

>64-bit 7z Archive:
>https://www.box.com/s/4sv65mj4n0uucfg709nw

on Windows 7/64 German, rendered a few panos and ran a few Python
scripts. Judging from this first view, everythings works as designed.

Using Python is a bit tricky, though. There are three ways of installing
Python 3.2 that work with hugin, plus one that doesn't.

Alas, that's the one I use on my home machine. I haven't started really
using Python 3, yet, so I just keep a working copy somewhere, without
having it installed, in order to get it out of the way. It is easily
created by doing a "per user" installation of Python 3.2 into, say,
"c:\Python32", copying the whole Python32 directory to, say,
"f:\Python32", then uninstalling Python 3.2. Using that Python is easy,
by putting "f:\Python32" in front of the path. Alas, this doesn't work
with Python enabled Hugin, hugin.exe fails with "application terminated
in an unusual way" (i.e. unhandled exception) in python32.dll when
started that way. I suspect it doesn't find Pythons encoding libraries,
judging from failed registry queries visible in procmon - I didn't
analyze it further.

So there are three ways: use an installed Python (both "for all users"
and "for this user" work), or copy the whole "per user"-Installation (or
the aforementioned copy thereof) of Python 3.2 into hugin's bin
directory. In the latter case, there is no installed Python necessary.

While I'd like to keepy the Python binaries separate, it's only a minor
glitch, so I'd just document it.

Thanks for providing a working Windows binary, especially for the 64-bit
one!
