View the PhotoMesh v7.6.2 Release Notes
In addition to few bug fixes and advance flags to overcome minor reconstruction issues, the main new function of this release is the Linux support for the PM fuser.
PhotoMesh Fuser 7.6.2 can now run on Linux as well as Windows operating systems. This is exciting news for users of Amazon Web Services (AWS). On AWS, Linux fuser instances offer a significant cost advantage over Windows instances. In addition to being considerably less expensive than Windows instances, Linux instances are billed in one second increments, while Windows instances are billed by the hour. This drastically reduces the amount of unused minutes and seconds and can amount to significant savings.
For on-premises computers, using Linux saves the Windows license costs, and enables the use of existing Linux-based resources.
