The last version of Hugin was in October 2008, and now Hugin 0.8.0 is out and available. The biggest feature I’m looking forward to is the new OpenGL Accelerated preview window:
A new Fast Preview window has been added, this uses OpenGL graphics acceleration to show changes as they happen. You can drag photos around the window and they will warp to their new positions in real-time. Everything else you need to turn, pan and crop your panorama can now be done interactively in the Fast Preview.
This Fast Preview also now acts as a hub for working with a panorama project: the Identify mode lets you click on the overlap between two photos to bring up the Control Point editor for that pair of photos.
