Re: hugin-0.8.0_rc1 released

Dear Bruno,

There is still a bug in the OpenGL-Preview, in particular on detecting
OpenGL capabilities to do the difference view. On my OpenGL 1.3 system
(win32) it results in a crash of hugin if I move my mouse pointer over an
image part. I have a fix already on disk but not commited so far, see
below.

Furthermore the identify feature in OpenGL preview won't work properly on
Windows. The images are surrounded with a colored line but the buttons to
enable the images are not colored accordingly. So far as I know this is a
limitation of wxWidgets on Windows platform. After fixing the OpenGL
detection bug (see above) I tried to find a way to overcome this
limitation, cause it's in the same sources. Unfortunately there is no
simple solution available. I have some ideas to implement a button array
that is capable to show colored buttons, but this will take some
development time ... Damn I need some more free time.

To cut a long story short I guess the bug fix for OpenGL detection is
mandatory for the release. I will commit it probably on weekend. The
problem on identify tool is not a show stopper, although it is a little
drawback.
