The first improvement concerns icc color profiles: Hugin has already copied the icc profile into the output file when stitching panoramas. Now also the display in the GUIs takes the icc profile into account. Celeste_standalone and cpfind read now also the icc profile and use it during its processings.
Beside the known output options Hugin now includes a user defined output sequence. With this option the user can create more flexible variants for the output. As an example a zero-noise output sequence is delivered with Hugin 2016.0.
Some buttons in the Hugin GUI now have a context menu for easier access to some function:
Show all in the fast preview window to allow better interaction with stacked projects.
Celeste button in the cp tab (panorama editor): the button can now be used to create control points or to clean control points with celeste or statistical methods.
The identify tool in the fast preview window now also shows the image numbers on top of the images. (This can be suppressed by pressing the alt button).
I. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- Khmer, Myanmar, Bengali, and Kannada script support has been
added to the auto-hinter.
II. MISCELLANEOUS
- Better support of Indic scripts like Devanagari by using a
top-to-bottom hinting flow.
- All FreeType macros starting with two underscores have been
renamed to avoid a violation of both the C and C++ standards.
Example: Header macros of the form `__FOO_H__' are now called
`FOO_H_'. In most cases, this should be completely transparent
to the user. The exception to this is `__FTERRORS_H__', which
must be sometimes undefined by the user to get FreeType error
strings: Both this form and the new `FTERRORS_H_' macro are
accepted for backwards compatibility.
- Minor improvements mainly to the Type 1 driver.
- The new CFF engine now supports all Type 2 operators except
`random'.
- The macro `_STANDALONE_', used for compiling the B/W and smooth
rasterizers as stand-alone modules, has been renamed to
`STANDALONE_', since macro names starting with an underscore and
followed by an uppercase letter are reserved in both C and C++.
- Function `FT_Library_SetLcdFilterWeights' now also activates
custom LCD filter weights (instead of just adjusting them).
- Support for `unpatented hinting' has been completely removed:
Consequently, the two functions `FT_Face_CheckTrueTypePatents'
and `FT_Face_SetUnpatentedHinting' now return always false,
doing nothing.
- The `ftgamma' demo program has been modernized; the gamma grid
display has been moved from `ftview' to this program.
- It is now possible to cycle through the available LCD fitlering
modes.
- All deprecated options and features of version 4.1 have been
removed.
- Enblend and Enfuse support layer (aka "page", aka "frame") selection
in of multi-layer image-files. This includes processing any layers
in user-defined order.
- Both Enblend and Enfuse can now perform all their pyramidal blending
operations in CIELAB (aka L*a*b*, aka L-star) and CIELUV (aka
L*u*v*) color spaces, too. See section "New Commandline Options",
option `--blend-colorspace'.
The previous default, CIECAM for input images with ICC-profile has
been changed to CIELUV. The default for RGB images without
ICC-profile remains. However, the new default for floating-point
image data is to use the RGB-cube, no matter whether the images come
with profiles or not.
- The new Graph-Cut algorithm is the default primary seam-line
generator.
- Avoid a division-by-zero in the Annealing Optimizer.
- Fix a bug (1356551) in the seam-line vectorization code that was
there since 2004. The fix changes the position of almost any
coarse-mask seam line vertex by one pixel.
- Fix a longstanding quirk, which allowed to load masks into Enblend
and Enfuse that were unsuitable for processing.
- Fix a bug in the highlight-recovery that caused Enfuse to bail out
with the uncaught exception
"Minimizer1D::set_bracket: minimum not bracketed".
- The OpenMP enabled versions of Enblend and Enfuse benefit from
Google's TCMalloc library.
- Several exposure weight functions were added to Enfuse. The choice
is now up to the user. The default still is the Gauss function as
in all Enfuse versions before.
Security update.
