Sad but true.

Some alternatives are:

Free:
Hugin (http://hugin.sourceforge.net)
MIcrosoft Image Composite Editor (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/researc ... ite-editor)

Commercial:
PTGui (https://www.ptgui.com)
Panoweaver (http://www.easypano.com/panorama-software.html)

I just tried all four of these are here are my superficial comments:

Hugin - somewhat slow and UI is clearly built on top of a command line driven internal engine, but results were OK.
ICE - usable and has nice autocomplete feature to fill in missing parts of the panorama, not sure how actively it is maintained
PTGui - the nicest of the bunch - fast with clean interface and lots of options - standard version seems OK for all but specialized uses.
Panoweaver - junk

I have seen one update in the several years I've had it. But then, have not run into bugs with it, using it only three or four times a year. It seems confined to sRGB.

The last time I downloaded it was 2018 and it has not been updated since then,
