Hugin-2022.0.0 Release Notes

Hugin is more than just a panorama stitcher.

Changes since 2021.0.0

Languages

Most of the translations have been updated for this release.

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 window by clicking 'Load defaults'.

It is strongly recommended 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 list of dependencies and the platform-specific build processes described in the wiki. More information in the README and INSTALL_cmake files in the tarball.

Known issues

When using wxWidgets 3.0.x series Hugin does not run native on Wayland. A workaround is to use the XWayland emulation layer. This has be activated during building by adding -DUSE_GDKBACKEND_X11=on to the CMake command line. (This is not necessary when compiling against wxWidgets 3.2.x or later).

On Linux wxWidgets 3.1.5 and later is by default compiled with EGL support for the wxGLCanvas class. In this case you need to activate EGL support explicitly also in GLEW, otherwise there are crashes when intializing the wxGLCanvas. An alternative is to build wxWidgets without EGL support.

Download

Hugin can be found at SourceForge and Launchpad.

User communities produce executables for their respective platforms. Executables are likely to be announced within a few days of this tarball release on the mailing list and added to the download section on SourceForge.
