FIRMWARE RELEASE NOTE ======================== Products affected: Q6078-E Release date: 2021-11-22 Release type: Production Firmware version: 10.8.1 Preceding release: 10.8.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upgrade recommendations ======================== When updating the device, it is recommended to do an intermediate upgrade using an available AXIS OS LTS-release on the way to the desired AXIS OS version. For example, if the device currently is running AXIS OS 7.40 and you want to upgrade to the latest AXIS OS Active Track (Example: 10.1, October 2020) then you should do the upgrade in these steps: 7.40 => 8.40 LTS => 9.80 LTS => 10.1. More detailed recommendations can be found in the AXIS OS portal at https://www.axis.com/support/firmware. Upgrade the firmware according to the instructions given in howtoupgrade.txt, which is included in the firmware folder or according to instructions at https://www.axis.com/support/firmware. NOTE ======================== For latest information about Axis Cybersecurity, see: https://www.axis.com/support/product-security New features in 10.8.1 ================================================================================ 10.8.1:F1 Upgraded Apache to version 2.4.51. Features in 10.8.0 ================================================================================ 10.8.0:F1 Axis Object Analytics 1.0.33 is preinstalled. 10.8.0:F2 Added support in action service - send notification action (HTTP/HTTPS) for optionally supplying; method, HTTP headers and (for applicable method types) a body.

Together with the new methods, it is also possible to provide custom request body and HTTP headers. UI support is only available in the new web GUI. 10.8.0:F4 Device-level topic prefix support added. This feature can be used to specify a topic prefix that can be reused when publishing and subscribing to MQTT messages. This prefix can also be utilized as a device id within the global topic structure. 10.8.0:F5 Added support to create filepath when exporting to external disk. 10.7.3:F1 Axis Object Analytics 1.0.30 is preinstalled. 10.7.0:F1 ACAPs containing a manifest.json file are now fully supported.

Net-SNMP provides significant higher security mechanism and authentication for SNMPv3 than previously could be provided. 10.7.0:F5 Added support for MQTT subscription. With this support, it will be possible to use incoming MQTT messages as action triggers in the rule engine of the new preview web GUI. 10.7.0:F6 Added support for a new parameter, "root.SNMP.NTCIP.Enabled", that can be used to enable NTCIP. Please remove the NTCIP ACAP after upgrading to AXIS OS 10.7 or higher and enable NTCIP from Plain Config -> SNMP. 10.7.0:F7 Extended the 802.1x EAP-Identity field character limit from 32 to 128 characters. 10.7.0:F8 Added optional API status property in VAPIX API Discovery JSON response body. 10.7.0:F9 Updated Apache to version 2.4.48 to increase overall cybersecurity level. 10.7.0:F10 Updated OpenSSL to version 1.1.1l to increase overall minimum cybersecurity level. 10.7.0:F11 Updated Video Motion Detection to version 4.5.1. Fixed a streaming issue on configuration web page on some products. 10.6.0:F1 MQTT subscription support added. With this support, it will be possible to use incoming MQTT messages as action triggers in the rule engine. 10.6.0:F2 Removed support for stream specific legacy overlays. The URL options for legacy image and legacy text overlay will not be supported any more. 10.6.0:F3 Added the possibility to show Day night Information switch in overlay text by using #dn. This will show both the current value and the threshold value for the day/night change. 10.6.0:F4 Added option to select which overlay should be used in a stream profile. 10.6.0:F5 Added "Audio clip playing" as a new condition in event system. 10.6.0:F6 HTTPS Ciphers are checked and unsupported ciphers removed on standard firmware upgrade 10.6.0:F7 Added a parameter to disable Apache & OpenSSL version in HTTP(S) responses in Plain Config -> System. 10.6.0:F8 Upgraded OpenSSL to 1.1.1k to increase overall minimum cyber security level. 10.6.0:F9 Updated Video Motion Detection to version 4.5.0. 10.6.0:F10 Support of stream specific legacy overlay is removed on Artpec platform. With this change, the URL option for both legacy image and text overlay will not be supported any more on Artpec platform. Corrections in 10.8.0 ================================================================================ 10.8.0:C1 Corrected CVE-2021-31987. 10.8.0:C2 Improved Autofocus speed. 10.8.0:C3 Updated the header for H.265 streams to not include delay information in order to avoid that some video clients may mistake it for B-frames. 10.7.3:C1 Improved streaming stability for devices used in Axis Companion systems. 10.7.1:C1 Corrected a network issue that on rare occasions could cause the product to lose its internet-connection. 10.7.0:C1 Corrected CVE-2021-31986. 10.7.0:C2 Corrected CVE-2021-31988. 10.7.0:C3 Corrected an issue that prevented legacy motion detection from working. 10.7.0:C4 Corrected an issue with MQTT subscriptions when reconnecting. 10.7.0:C5 Corrected MQTT default message so it no longer starts with an empty string. 10.7.0:C6 Masks created in the digital zoom range before upgrade, might not cover the same exact area after upgrade.Masks scaled differently in the digital zoom range. If masks were created in the digital zoom range before upgrade, they might not cover the exact same area, since this correction affects the size of the mask in the digital zoom range. 10.7.0:C7 Corrected an issue that caused the "Anonymous viewer" functionality to be removed after upgrade to 10.6.0. 10.7.0:C8 Corrected an issue that interrupted the NTP-time-sync between the Axis device and NTP-server when the NTP-server was operating instable and suffered fluctuating time-changes. 10.7.0:C9 Audio now uses the new audiodevicecontrol.cgi instead of the old API. This means that the gain values may be different in the GUI, but the actual audio level should be the same as before. 10.7.0:C10 Corrected an issue that prevented the Sound Intelligence Sound Detector ACAP to get an audio stream. 10.7.0:C11 Improved RTP timestamp accuracy for metadata streams. 10.7.0:C12 Corrected an issue that could cause an RTSP stream to stop after 60+ seconds if streamed to an openRTSP client. 10.6.7:C1 Corrected an issue with MQTT subscriptions when reconnecting. 10.6.7:C2 General improvements in streaming management. 10.6.2:C1 General improvements in streaming management. 10.6.0:C1 Improved Motion Detection to handle scenes with extreme lighting changes , improving general behavior for applications that make use of this engine and data. 10.6.0:C2 Improved behavior when using Guard Tour with the Control Queue. 10.6.0:C3 Corrected an issue that did not account for MTU packet fragmentation for IEEE 802.1x authentication. Previously the Axis device was not able to authenticate properly against an 802.1x network when the MTU was configured to 1410 or lower. 10.6.0:C4 Corrected an issue that on some occasions could prevent export of a part of a recording. 10.6.0:C5 Corrected an issue that in combination with some VMSes and low resolution could cause brief disconnections in the video stream.
