[[PageOutline(2-5, Table of Contents, floated)]] = Welcome to Papywizard project = As announced on Kolor forum, I finally decided to stop the developement of Papywizard. It means there won't be new major releases, but I will still help users, and developers who want to write new plugins. I may also make minor updates, according to my free time. == Introduction == '''Papywizard''' ('''Pa'''noramic '''py'''thon '''Wizard''') is a free panohead control software, mainly developed for the ''!Merlin/Orion'' astronomic mount, but usable for other panoheads with small effort. The project started on the Autopano forum, where someone has bring the idea to use an astronomic mount for panoramic shots. The very low price of the !Merlin/Orion mount made it the perfect candidate. The only things to do were an electronic interface, and a little software to drive it! Papywizard is entirely written in python and developed under gnu/linux; it successfully runs on gnu/linux, Maemo (Nokia), Windows, MacOS and Openmoko. This project was developed in collaboration with retired Kolor company, which developed '''Autopano !Pro/Giga/Server''', a great stitcher softwares suite. Enjoy!

Finally! * 2010-02: support of [http://gigapanbot.com GigaPanBot] head (with custom firmware) * 2010-01: Vincen successfully installed Papywizard on a [http://www.autopano.net/forum/t8140-papywizard-on-neo-phone Neo FreeRunner] running QX :o) * 2009-08: Nokia has just released a first version of [http://www.pyside.org PySide], a new python/Qt binding. !PySide API is compatible with !PyQt, so I could easily make Papywizard work with it. There is still a bug (more a missing feature) in this new binding, so I can't release a fully operationnal version of Papywizard, but it is very promising. The main goal will be to run Papywizard on Maemo 5, the OS running on the '''N900'''. Stay tuned! * 2009-05: plugins now fully operationnal (>= 2.1.5) * 2009-04: first plugin implementation in version 2.1.1. * 2009-03: version 2.0.0 is out! This is the first stable release of the branch 2.x, using !PyQt. This release does not add many new features to 1.x branch, but developement will now be easier. * 2009-03: Papywizard 1.9 now runs on MacOS (10.5 only for now). Thanks to Jeremy! * 2009-01: first dev. release (1.9.0) using !PyQt. This is the 1.6.0 version using !PyQt instead of !PyGtk (graphical shooting area missing). New features will come later. * 2009-01: version 1.6.0 is out. Introduce a simple timer/intervalometer feature, and alternate shooting view. This is the last release of the 1.x branch; time to start v2 ;o) * 2008-11: Bluetooth now works under Windows! * 2008-11: version 1.4.0 is out. Main improvements are FOV and number of pictures as input params, preview positions in shooting dialog, and rewind/forward shooting feature. * 2008-11: version 1.2.0 is out. A lot of improvements for this release (custom user presets, Windows installer...). * 2008-10: Openmoko seems a good candidate, as Papywizard runs on it ''out-of-the-box'' (simulation mode). More tests to come. * 2008-09: Papywizard runs again under Windows (svn version), except for bluetooth. Hope to fix this soon. * 2008-09: version 1.0 is out! == License == All Papywizard files and documents are released under [http://www.cecill.info/index.en.html CeCILL], a french free license, based on and compatible with '''GPL'''.
