How to Install Hugin 2017 on Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 & Higher

   Hugin is an easy to use cross-platform panoramic imaging toolchain based on Panorama Tools. With it, you can assemble a mosaic of photographs into a complete immersive panorama, stitch any series of overlapping pictures and much more.

Hugin 2017 Changelog:
The version 2017.0 is mainly a bug fix release. The biggest fixes regard:

• Several fixes for working with HDR images (display in GUI, photometric optimizer, handling of under/over exposured pixels in merging code).
• Fixes handling of masks in cpfind when images needs remapping for cp finding.
• Sometimes unsaved changes were disregarded without asking the user (e.g. when loading a project via the recently used projects list). Unsaved changes should now always require user confirmation.

Besides the bug fixes some smaller improvements have been implemented.

• Optimizer tabs uses now checkboxes instead of bold underlined font for marking of variables to be optimized.
• Use wxWidgets help windows instead of default browser (Linux&Mac only, this provides table of content, index and full text search in help files).
• Added special assistant variant for single image projects.
• Display of final panorama dimensions on stitcher tab.
• Extended the user defined output sequences:
•  The shipped user defined output sequences are exposed in the GUI as own sub-menu.
•  Added some more user defined output sequences (layered TIFF, cube faces).
•  Added new placeholder %sourceimage% to user defined output sequence.
