RELEASE 4.35
==============

News in 4.35
============

4.35.N1  Added support for joystick and proportional speed control (zoom
         compensated pan and tilt speeds when using a joystick or an
         emulated joystick).

4.35.N2  New AXIS Media Control with support for joystick. The
         AXIS Media Control has support for calibration of the joystick
         and for configuration of joystick buttons.

4.35.N3  Support for emulated joystick control when using server push.


4.35.N4  Web interface for Bonjour Settings is added (Setup | System Options |
         Network).


Improvements
============
4.35.I1  When using AXIS Media Control, the Navigation mode buttons are
         removed from the Control Panel. Instead a new button is added to the
         Live View toolbar to select center or emulated joystick mode.

Known limitations in 4.35
===========================

4.35.L1	 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.

4.35.L2	 Motion detection windows are adjusted so that their width and height
         are divisible by 8 (pixels).

4.35.L3	 When saving a snapshot image, some browsers (e.g. Mozilla) will fetch
         a new picture and the saved picture will not match the displayed
         snapshot.

4.35.L4	 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.

4.35.L5	 Viewing full screen and sequencing through different external video
         sources with different video streams in a sequence will switch the
         full screen mode off.

4.35.L6	 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.

4.35.L7	 If using dual screens with WinXP SP2, MPEG-4 may not work properly
         on the secondary display.

4.35.L8	 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.

4.35.L9	 The text overlay in a 90/270 degree rotated NTSC image is garbled in
         both MJPEG and MPEG-4 when the image width is not evenly divisible
         by 16.

4.35.L10 Including format field #b or #B in text overlay will show incorrect
         bandwidth usage when frame rate is limited for Motion JPEG.

4.35.L11 PTZ click in image will not work when using QuickTime as the
         image viewer.

4.35.L12 Rotated video streams are not rotated in Motion Detection setup.

4.35.L13 When starting a new live view stream or when getting a still image,
         running live view streams and events will be stopped for a short while.

4.35.L14 The max. zoom limit is not honoured when zooming with the joystick
         or when using the 'continuouszoommove=z' command.

4.35.L15 The file /etc/user.task.list is not created after using FTP upgrade
         with 'flash_all' (e.g. 'ftp> put <image.bin> flash_all').
         The file can be manually created.
