RELEASE 4.47.1
============


Corrections in 4.47.1 since 4.47
==============================

4.47.1:C01 In a rare case, unit might get inaccessible through HTTP after 
	   upgrade and change of HTTP authentication policy.

4.47.1:C02 Error 503 when using 320x240 resolution, 180 degrees rotation does

4.47.1:C04 Corrected a problem with sockets in motion detection.

4.47.1:C05 A time handler issue has been corrected.

Known limitations in 4.47
=========================

4.47.1:L01 When the IR cut filter is turned on or off events are triggered and 
           the motion detection activity monitor shows movement.
         
4.47.1:L02 When switching between resolution modes privacy mask position changes.

4.47.1:L03 If the privacy mask goes beyond the right margin and the image gets
           rotated, the mask might disappear.
         
4.47.1:L04 Certain combinations of coordinates of privacy masks in widescreen mode 
           makes the masks disappear.
          
4.47.1:L05 Having mirror image enabled and switching between large wide and 
           normal resolutions causes the video to disappear, a restart is 
           necessary to get video running again.

4.47.1:L06 Overlay Image gets part of its image cropped at larger horizontal 
           positions and max resolution.

4.47.1:L07 The maximum available resolution for MPEG-4 is 640x480 or 640x360
           depending on the selected resolution mode.
