For panoramic image fans, PTGui has been a staple of our workflow for quite a while. PTGui 11 was released in the last year and, while I have been away from creating pano images, I have come back to it and upgraded from v10. In doing some research on the changes from v10, I found this video:
PTGui 11 New Features and Developments | Joost Nieuwenhuijse | Vienna 2017 IVRPA
PTGui Headquarters has been working hard developing and digging through the long list of feature requests and at the conference Joost Nieuwenhuijse will give a sneak preview of what's in store for the next release of PTGui 11 at the Vienna 2017 - IVRPA 360° Virtual Reality Panoramic Photography & 360° Video Conference, June 3-6 2017.

of Joost Nieuwenhuijse, the creator of PTGui, explaining the new functionality and features of v11. In addition to the interesting aspects of the new software, I found his explanation of how programming problems are tackled really interesting. To those of us who get frustrated with software not keeping up with our expectations and having to make sacrifices or work around quirks and limitations, Joost's insights lend some perspective.
He basically decided to re-write the core of PTGui for v11 - not a trivial task. It appears in this video that his hard work is worth every second of the effort.
Pretty cool.
