This is a source code release.
Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms. Please announce them here.
(The rc1 correspond to changeset a369cbe55179 in our repository, which is also tagged as 2019.0rc1).
Changes since 2019.0 beta 2
* Fixes build with CMake 3.14
* Updated some translations
* Several improvements to linefind.
* Improved photometric optimiser in assistant for projects with stacks.
* Fixed several bugs and crashes.
Changes since 2019.0 beta 1
* Integrated raw import into add images dialog.
* Moved raw converter settings into preferences.
* Updated translations and help pages.
* New parameter for user defined assistant.
* Fixes running geocpset from inside Hugin.
* Unified handling of feathered alpha channel.
* Fixed installing of lcms2.dll in Windows installer.
Some changes resulted in changed string. This was needed to improve the behaviour of the new raw import feature.
So some translation files needs also an update.
Changes since 2018.0
* Added raw import: It converts the RAW images to TIFF using a raw converter.
This can be done by dcraw (requires additional exiftool), RawTherapee or
darktable. These programs needs to be installed externally.
* Fixes for align_image_stack with EXR images.
* Added option for range compression. Can be helpful for LDR panoramas to
brighten the shadows before merging, because at this stage the blender has
some more information which can be helpful.
* New hotkeys for mask editor (change zoom level with 0, 1 and 2).
* Expression parser (pto_var and "manipulate image variables" in GUI) can now read also
all image variables.
* line_find: Ignore lines with low distance to each other to get better coverage.
Also use only central part of the panorama for searching for line control points
(ignoring zenit/nadir near areas).
* pano_modify: Added new switch --projection-parameter to set projection parameters.
* Store program settings according to XDG base dir specification (Linux only, needs to
compile with wxWidgets 3.1.1 or later).
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'.
