New features since 1.00.008
===========================

- New version for fully supporting NVRs with the new 1.10 firmware.

- .NET4 is now required to run NVR Manager, which is installed as part
  of the installation package.

- Fixed a bug which caused NVRs under certain conditions to switch to DHCP
  mode after reboot even though configured to have a static IP.

- It is no longer necessary to reboot an NVR manually after resetting to 
 factory default.

- AXIS NVR Manager will now validate an NVR Firmware file for compatibility 
 prior to sending it to the NVR for installation.


New features since 1.00.00
===========================

- First version

- AXIS NVR Manager is for discovery, configuration and firmware upgrade
 of Axis network video recorders (NVR). It offers easy installation,
 automatic discovery, and Axis Network Video Recorder setup.

- AXIS Camera Station can be launched by AXIS NVR Manager directly for a
 selected NVR. AXIS Camera Station Client is for monitoring, recording,
 playback and event management of Axis network cameras.


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

- The NVR user is called Administrator

- If the date and time difference between the PC running Axis NVR Manager and
 the NVR is too large synchronize date and time to be able to log on the NVR.
 If the time difference is more than three (3) hours perform synchronization
 twice

- Use the "Search for NVR devices" button to refresh the list of NVR's
 and their statuses

- If storage error is reported, use the link to correct storage configuration
 and update the NVR status
 
- Internet Explorer 8, if used for downloading the ".anf" file to use for
 "Reset to Factory Default", will rename the file ".zip". Change the file
 extension back to ".anf" otherwise the NVR Manager will not find the file
 when browsing for reset files.

- Immediately after discovery of a new NVR, AXIS NVR Manager may temporarily
 report it as having a status of "Invalid IP" even though its IP address is 
 not invalid. In this case, the error will disappear after a short time.
