Please follow the instruction from the user manual, web page or the file named howtoupgrade.txt. 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 flash_all'). The file can be manually created.
