For the first time Hugin can be considered +feature-complete. A third-party control points generator is no longer necessary. +This release delivers some major new features, integrates some projects from the +<em>2010 Google Summer of Code</em>, and includes many general improvements.</p> + +<h3>cpfind</h3> + +<p>For the first time Hugin does not depend on a third-party control points generator. <em>cpfind</em> is the result of years of ongoing efforts and Google Summer of Code projects aimed at delivering a 'patent-free' control points generator. Third-party +control point generators are still supported.</p> + +<h3>Improved Batch Processor</h3> + +<p>The <em>Batch Processor</em> has been improved and can now automatically +detect projects.</p> + +<h3>Makefilelib</h3> + +<p>Hugin uses <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_%28software%29" target="_blank">make</a> +to drive the stitching process. Make is a tool known from source code build automation. +Leveraging the features of make benefits the stitching process in many ways, including +saving execution time when a step does not need to be repeated. It also enables +advanced applications such as command line stitching and distributed stitching.</p> + +<p>Replacing the ad hoc Makefile generation with a more robust and modular library +will benefit Hugin users with a better stitching experience.</p> + +<h3>wxWidgets 2.9 support</h3> + +<p>Hugin uses the wxWidgets GUI toolkit. Support has been added for wxWidgets 2.9. +It is still experimental. Hugin still supports wxWidgets 2.7 and recommends 2.8.</p> + +<h3>Migration to Launchpad</h3> + +<p>Tracking of bugs, patches and features requests for Hugin has switched from +<em>SourceForge</em> to <em>Launchpad</em>. Hugin's needs have outgrown the +SourceForge tracker. The project is grateful to SourceForge for providing it with a +nurturing infrastructure. We hope that the more modern and feature-rich tracker on +Launchpad will enable the project to work through the backlog of over 200 tickets and +process the increasing amount of tickets more efficiently.</p> + +<h3>New Logo and Icons</h3> + +<p>Hugin has had the same logo and icon almost since inception. Unfortunately the +source files have gone lost in time. Cristian Marchi contributed SVG files of new +logo and icons that are an evolution of the original artwork by Dr. Luca Vascon. +To celebrate the first feature-complete release of Hugin the project has adopted +a new visual appearance.</p> + +<h3>Languages</h3> + +<p>Most of the translations have been updated for this release.</p> + +<h3>Other improvements</h3> + +<p>This release has the usual bugfixes, adds minor features, and provides some +more command-line tools for scripting panorama projects.</p> + +<!-- Note for translators: the rest is mostly the same as the previous release announcement --> + +<h2>Control point generators</h2> +<p>Hugin ships now with its own 'Patent Free' control point generator. You can +still install and configure one of the following control-point generators as +'plug-ins':</p> +<ul> +<li>autopano-sift-C</li> +<li>panomatic</li> +<li>libpanomatic</li> +<li>match-n-shift</li> +<li>Autopano-SIFT</li> +<li>Autopano freeware version</li> +</ul> +<p>The project will continue to support the plug-in architecture.</p> + +<h2>Upgrading</h2> +<p>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'.</p> + +<p>For users compiling from source: note that the minimum version of +<em>wxWidgets</em> supported is 2.7.0, libpano13 needs to be at least +2.9.17, and that Hugin requires <em>GLEW</em> the OpenGL Extension Wrangler +Library, <em>freeglut</em> the OpenGL utility toolkit, and <em>libGLU</em> the +OpenGL utility library.</p> + +<p>See the README and INSTALL_cmake files for more information.</p> + +<p>Thanks to all the contributors to this release and members of +the hugin-ptx mailing list, too many to mention here.</p> +<hr /> + +<p>Hugin can be found at <a +href="http://hugin.sourceforge.net/">http://hugin.sourceforge.net/</a>.</p> + +<p>Hugin sourcecode can be downloaded from sourceforge: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/</a>.</p> + +<p>This is a sourcecode release.
