Hi all,

today we are releasing beta 1 of Hugin 2023.0.0

Source tarball can be downloaded
at sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2023.0/hugin-2023.0beta1.tar.bz2/download

This is a source code release.
Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms. Please announce them here.
When building on Linux check that the configuration of all dependencies matches. This refers mainly to wxWidgets and GLEW. See the release notes for more details https://hugin.sourceforge.io/releases/2023.0.0/en.shtml

(The beta 1 correspond to changeset de090f232982in our repository, which is also tagged as 2023.0beta1).

Changes since 2022.0
* PTBatcherGUI can now also queue user defined assistant and user defined output sequences.
* PTBatcherGUI: Added option to generate panorama sequences from an existing pto template.
* Assistant: Added option to select different output options like projection, FOV or canvas size depending on different variables (e.g. image count, field of view, lens type).
* Allow building with epoxy instead of GLEW for OpenGL pointer management.
* Several improvements to crop tool (outside crop, aspect ratio, ...).
* Several bug fixes (e.g. for verdandi/internal blender)

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'.

Please test and report bug/issues to mailing list or bug tracker https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin (so issues can be fixed before the final release).

Windows binaries (64 bit) can be found at sourceforge: 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2023.0/Hugin-2023.0beta1-win64.msi/download

Request for translators
Please update the translation file of your language. Some new strings have been added.

It is available in Debian/unstable for testing now.

I'm not quite sure where to fix this, but flann-1.9.2 now has a dependency on lz4. So I needed to add "-llz4" to get hugin to build with this version of flann.

Hi Bruno, 

it works here. lz4 is added to FLANN_LIBRARIES automatically by pgkconfig:

from the Cache:
FLANN_LIBRARIES:INTERNAL=lz4;flann;flann_cpp;lz4

Hello,

I see similar breakage on Debian (hugin nevertheless built), and have
submitted a bug report https://bugs.debian.org/1052649 . I think flann
upstream is copying part of a CMake list/array (which is
semicolon-delimited) directly into the pc file.

Is there something we can workaround in CMakeModules/FindFLANN.cmake? Replace the semicolon?
Or have we to wait for a fix upstreams?

I downloaded the .dmg file, launch the app, dragged hugin to the Applications folder, tried launching hugin and received:

“Hugin.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

No problem. If possible, could you enable GPU for remapping and test it against some bigger files, preferably more or around 4000 pixels?

To test the GPU I ran a set of images that were in a previous Hugin mail chain. 18 images, 99MB each, 3307x4961.
My machine is a MacBoo Pro, M1 Max, 64 GB with Ventura 13.6

The GPU did the creation faster (3:07 minutes down to 1:22) but the image was garbled. Here are the images with GPU on and off. If you want full size images I can send a link.

The Debian package should work on recent enough Ubuntu.

I got a change to grab this release this morning.  I am using Linux Mint 21.1 Vera, and did a full update/upgrade before installing the new version.  System details follow this description of a bug I found.

-- I installed libpano13-2.9.22_rc2 from source
-- For this beta version of hugin, I did the normal "cmake" and it did not find the flann lib (expected, I don't have it installed)
-- I installed the beta version

I started hugin with an existing project, confirmed it was the beta with Help->About
I typically use the fast panorama preview window, and that window went completely blank -- only the "File,Edit,View,Interface,Help" menu items were visible, the tabs "Assistant ... Crop" were not displayed at all.

I can reproduce this behaviour by:

. Minimizing the fast preview window
. Removing an image from the project
. Restore the fast preview window

If I click the undo button (making the removed image part of the project again), the fast  preview window displays everything properly.

I don't know if this bug existed in the previous version of hugin.

Thank you for the new version!

Beta 1 version still works great for me on Windows 10 for my last pano, which was a single row 360 degrees taken 16 portrait images with a mobile phone.
As I was always using the expert interface, it did not check much from new features.
So I tried to run those images also through the assistant with all default values and it went well with nice output.
Tried to at least somehow use mentioned changes from 2022.0 (except compiling hugin) and did not experience any problem.
The only thing I wasn't able to find (and test) is the FOV output option in the assistant.

Can't replicate the issue Jeff posted a moment ago with tabs in the fast preview windows not shown without images in the project on Windows.

Also please find the attached updated Czech translations.
(not sure whether complete updated file or diff is better to be shared, so attaching both)


Regards
David

The setup is done in the preferences, tab  assistant. Tick option "User-defined output options", then configure and set the options for your use case.

Compile-time GTK+ version is 3.24.33.

Nobody else has reported something similar. So I assume a build issue. The wxWidgets version is very old - it has some flaws with Wayland.
Read the "notes" section in the file INSTALL_cmake or in the release notes.
Either activate the workaround or - better - use wxWidgets 3.2.x.

Hi Thomas,

Yes, my wxWidgets is old.   The two-edged sword of living with a stable linux version strikes again.  I tried the "-DUSE__GDKBACKEND_X11=on workaround" but it didn't fix it.  It is NOT an important issue for me.   I'll see if I can get the wxWidget 3.2.x installed from source when I have time.

Thanks for this new release of hugin, it's looking good.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hmm, sounds like a really old "stable" version of Linux...I have current Debian Bookworm. Debian's not particularly known for keeping up with the latest, but even it has wxWidgets 3.2.1.

What Linux do you have?

I have linux mint 21.1 (vera).  It was released Dec 2022.  It isn't *that* old.  There is a new version out -- 21.2 released last July, maybe it's got a newer version of wxwidgets.

I couldn't find what version of WxWidgets comes with 21.2. Their user forums mentioned issues in WxWidgets v3.0.x, but that was from several years earlier. I think one of the issues mentioned was actually with LMDE, not WxWidgets.
