Release 4.47
==============

New features:
=============

4.47:F01 Added HTTP Digest Authentication.

4.47:F02 Added Secure Initial Configuration. This makes it possible to enable 
         HTTPS the first time the user accesses the product, i.e. on the same 
	 page where the root password is defined.

4.47:F03 Added mirroring, i.e. possibility to mirror the video stream. It can be
         configured using VAPIX as well as through the GUI.

4.47:F04 Added a Event monitor function to VAPIX. By using this interface, 
         an application can get information about all trigger information 
         available in the product.

4.47:F05 Added possibility to send TCP notifications continuously while event 
	 is active.

4.47:F06 Functionality for Exposure area has been added to improve image 
	 in case of having some very bright and very dark parts of the image
	 when it is necessary to define which part of the image will be used
	 to calculate the exposure.

Modifications 
=============

4.47:M01 Improved event handling with regards to stability.


Known limitations 
=================

4.47:L01 When using image overlay text during event image upload, using blanks 
         in text will generate hex-value "%20" for blanks. The same applies to
         other special characters used. These special characters can be added 
	 using Plain Config>Event and configuring the specific parameter.

4.47:L02 Having a high framerate (10 fps and higher) during event upload might 
         cause less pictures being uploaded than expected.

4.47:L03 When configuring privacy masks and pressing test the resolution can be 
         displayed incorrectly compared to the one set in the camera.

4.47:L04 When doing event uploading to an ftp server and using date&time in the
         images will cause the camera stop sending images after a restart of the
         camera. This problem does not appear if using NTP server.

4.47:L05 Image in Motion Detection setup won't be rotated even though camera 
	 setting has been made to rotate picture in Live view.

4.47:L06 "Setup"-link will always be displayed even though it's disabled in 
	 Plain config. 

4.47:L07 Image overlay Test button will give script error and incorrect window 
	 size.

4.47:L08 When changing resolution and the uploading an overlay image, moving the 
	 overlay image coordinates several times might cause overlay image not 
	 to move any more. Changing resolution or restarting camera will solve 
	 the this.

4.47:L09 It's not possible using "/" when configuring image filename during ftp 
	 event upload. This means it's not possible creating subfolders by using
	  "/" in the filename. This can be added using Plain Config>Event and 
	 configuring the specific parameter.

4.47:L10 If adding an event triggered by anything else but 'motion detection'and 
	 then decide to modify the existing event and make it triggered by 
	 'Motion Detection' the new drop down lists for available motion windows 
	 and the drop down list for 'when motion detection' will contain unexpected 
	 characters. Remove the current and add completely new event.

4.47:L11 When enabling both ipv4 and ipv6, then disabling the ipv6, the ipv6 will 
	 still be shown under "Current Network Settings" as well as under the 
	 "NTP configuration" view.
