Hi,
The problem is that autopano video 3 got released shortly before the
company got canned by its overlords, was rushed and never got a single
bugfix. It wasn't even considered stable by its developers. Also it
requires a new product key IIRC.
It has legitimate improvements, especially stitching quality, and related
to performance (but these are not in the linux version anyway...) but use
it at your own risks.

So it is why the beta package is AVP 3 and the regular package is AVP 2,
and it really should stay that way.
Renaming autopanovideopro into autopanovideo2 and autopanovideo-beta into
autopanovideo3 would be a better solution I think, but it is debatable if
it has any relevance to do so after so long.
