RELEASE 5.12
==============

Corrected problems
==================

5.12:C01: Added support for new hardware revision.

5.12:C02: Improved image noise filtering (Lowering bandwidth usage).

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

5.12:L01 If the status LED is set to flash when a video stream is accessed, the
         flashing stops after an AVHS dispatch. The flashing begins again if a
         new stream is accessed (e.g. if the live view is reloaded).

5.12:L02 Streaming of MJPEG over rtsp sometimes does not work for resolutions
         higher than 1024x768 in windows media player and mplayer.
         Workaround: Use VLC instead http://www.videolan.org/.

5.12:L03 Multicast for ipv6 will only work if ipv4 is enabled.

5.12:L04 Application upload does not work when using Google Chrome.
