I see no differences.
Not much has changed in the new versions (Windows) since 2016, when 
straightening single photos was introduced (thankful I am for this mode, 
the only introduced feature from my suggestions).
Thanks also for enabling image preview in "Open"
Thanks for "Cancel" when calculating crop takes too long. Usually it caused 
crash.

The installer still deletes the previous, stable version - it must be 
backed up before installing (no portable archive to unzip).

The background is still white what makes the work with night photos 
impossible.

Horizontal lines are not detected.

If the panorama editor is already open, clicking "View / Panorama editor" 
does not switch to panorama editor. I suggested to add Panorama editor as a 
tab of the simple interface (after Crop).

Batch processor still blocks the taskbar from auto-hiding. Even if 
auto-hide is enabled in the system settings, it is overriden by Batch 
processor. The visible taskbar makes the lower part of the screen 
unaccessible (until a "confirm click" on the icon every time a new task is 
added to the processor).

Filename suffixes "blended_fused" and "fused" are not shortened to "bf" and 
"fd". Who knows how long the process of photo editing can be. Such names as 
"Original_filename_2bf_2fd_bf2a_mk3c_e2a_acr_hue_hdr2b_mx" are normal in 
the process of photo editing. The filename suffix must be short, especially 
when working on Windows and Android with the same images (Android apps 
usually do not care for filenames). 
Indeed, final panoramas are loaded multiple times to Hugin, often 
"blended_fused" is stitched together with "fused", then again 
"blended_fused_fused" with another panorama that is 
"blended_fused_blended_fused" - it outputs extremely long filenames. 
"blended_fused" and "fused" may be shortened by renaming software, what 
does not change names in the project files.

It is possible to load (.jpg +.png) (.png + .bmp) (.jpg + .tif + .png + 
other supported formats) at once, but (.jpg + .jpg) images cannot be 
stitched if they differ only by ICC profile. Simply, a dialog to discard 
color space could appear while loading. Or by default the profile discarded 
in settings. 

There is no option to define the minimal distance between lines for the 
line detector, to avoid placing lines on the same tree or traffic sign that 
are never straight.

Why I am writing about the same again? This cannot be a war between a 
developer and a user who "dreams" of a collab, not ignoring each other.

New proposals to introduce
 
To extend the compression sliders in Panini general to negative values. The 
value 0 (rectilinear) is sometimes not enough, especially when correcting 
cylindrical panoramas taken with a mobile device. Adding horizontal lines 
and de-barrelizing takes a lot of time. Typing numbers by guessing is just 
guessing. This is the main difference between being a programmer and a 
photographer. The first one depends on numbers, the other on visuals - this 
is why I always use the simple interface, even with advanced work.
To extend the preview sliders to smaller angles in rectilinear and panini 
general. The image preview is sometimes 2x2 mm on the screen.

"Darker color priority" mode. The standard stitching mode (both by enblend 
and enfuse) includes all photography errors, such as sun flares, 
reflections (if they are not masked) in panoramas, because it bases on 
"brighter color priority".

"Open project location" from the batch processor right-click menu.
