Post by **zoneminder** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 10:29 am

I'm pleased to announce that ZoneMinder version 1.22.3 has been released today.

This release is is a wrap-up release containing fixes to a number of reported bugs as well as several features relating to usability, xHTML and X.10.

Full details of the changes are described below (taken from the README) :-

o FEATURE ï¿½ Filters can now be used to execute actions such as emailing or deleting events directly without being saved as a background automatic filter.

o FEATURE ï¿½ New X.10 device control screens have been added to the HTML and xHTML pages. These screen allow manual on/off control of X.10 devices.

o FEATURE ï¿½ The xHTML screen have been overhauled and simplified in terms of styling.

o FEATURE ï¿½ The selection of markup, between HTML and xHTML was previously automatic only. This has been amended to all an url parameter to be passed on the initial screen to select the format for that session. So zm.php?format=xHTML will force the xHTML markup to be used even if selected from a traditional browser.

o FEATURE ï¿½ You can now specify an http proxy to use for ZM update checking.

o FEATURE ï¿½ You can now specify more than one monitor to use the same video input without frame rate penalty.

o FEATURE ï¿½ You can now add labels to PTZ camera presets to aid in remembering what they are. These presets are displayed as a tool tip when mousing over the preset numbers.

o FEATURE ï¿½ The timestamp displayed on images can now contain newlines. Use the \n (a ï¿½slashï¿½ followed by an ï¿½nï¿½) to represent that.

o FEATURE ï¿½ The perl scripts will now respond to HUP signals by closing and reopening their logs. This can be used by logrotate to ensure that the ZoneMinder do not keep growing forever. You can use zmpkg.pl logrot to send a HUP signal to all scripts.

o FIX ï¿½ The stills event view now shows all frames, not just those stored in the database. Scrolling between frames is also now fixed.

o FIX ï¿½ Fixed long outstanding but in zmaudit.pl causing the most recent event to sometimes get deleted erroneously.

o FIX ï¿½ Fixed a bug in the scaling routines that sometimes resulted in garbled or slanted images.

o FIX ï¿½ Fixed the format used in HTTP communications with network cameras to ensure that line endings use both CR and LF where appropriate.

o FIX ï¿½ Added some additional SQL finish calls to free up memory from long select statements.

o FIX ï¿½ When ZM reloaded monitors live, the Linked Monitors field was omitted. This has been fixed.

o FIX ï¿½ Fixed an issue causing devide by zero errors in zmpatch.pl

o FIX ï¿½ Fixed an issue with quotes in saved filters.

o FIX ï¿½ Fixed an issue in zmfilter.pl where filters on Weekdays were not executed correctly.

o FIX ï¿½ Fixed an issue with saved filters using the Cause or Notes events fields.

o FIX ï¿½ Fixed a problem with zmfilter.pl where the flag indicating that an event had had a video created was not set.

o FIX ï¿½ Fixed issue with user specific language selections not being effective.

o FIX ï¿½ Fixed issue with compiling with latest ffmpeg distribution.

o FIX ï¿½ All open file descriptors are now close when the perl scripts daemonise themselves. This means that ZM should not lock up open socket addresses or stop apache from restarting as occasionally happened before.

o FIX ï¿½ Hyphens are now allow in remote host names.

o FIX ï¿½ The timeline view can now display events with newlines in the Notes field.

o FIX ï¿½ Some perl errors were not being reported to logs. These have been changed to use the debug library.

o FIX ï¿½ Fixed an issue where some jpeg format errors were not caught by the debug library and so not reported in the appropriate logs.
