RELEASE 4.45.1 ============== Corrections in 4.45.1 since 4.45 ================================ 4.45.1:C01 DHCP client will now also perform a final check of availability for the lease supplied by a DHCP server. 4.45.1:C02 FTP multiline answers are now handled correctly. 4.45.1:C03 When sending e-mails, files are now deleted from the file system which saves the system resources. 4.45.1:C04 Improved event handling with regards to stability. Corrected issues with event type start/stop after longer periods of running or some configuration changes. 4.45.1:C05 Corrected an issue with the web interface access. 4.45.1:C06 When using limited duration time for video connections, sessions will now be automatically stopped and not reconnected again. Known limitations in 4.45.1 =========================== 4.45:L01 Copying an event configuration does not work properly. Some parameters may not be copied correctly. Please verify each parameter value in the cloned event configuration. 4.45:L02 Motion detection windows are adjusted so that their width and height are divisible by 8 (pixels). 4.45:L03 When saving a snapshot image, some web browsers (e.g. Mozilla) will fetch a new picture and the saved picture will not match the displayed snapshot. 4.45:L04 The Mozilla web browser does not always close the image stream properly when leaving the live view page. Restarting the stream can sometimes fail as well. Restarting Mozilla solves these two problems. 4.45:L05 Viewing full screen and sequencing through different external video sources with different video streams in a sequence will switch the full screen mode off. 4.45:L06 The AXIS Media Control may stop displaying the MPEG-4 stream after the screen saver has been active or the computer has been locked. Workaround: Reload the Live View page. 4.45:L07 If using dual screens and moving the AXIS Media Control window from one screen to the other, the MPEG-4 stream may stop updating. Workaround: Reload the Live View page. 4.45:L08 A snapshot image of the MPEG-4 stream will not be aspect ratio corrected when using the AXIS Media Control to take the snapshot image while aspect ratio correction is enabled. 4.45:L09 Rotated video streams are not rotated in Motion Detection setup.
