RELEASE 4.41
==============

Known limitations in 4.41
===========================

4.41:L01 The verification of event duration configuration contains limitations
         and will not disallow alphabetic characters.

4.41:L02 During an HTTP upload, unnecessary log messages may appear and files
         may be missing in the uploaded file sequence.

4.41:L03 Rotated video streams are not rotated in Motion Detection setup.

4.41:L04 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.

4.41:L05 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.

4.41:L06 Motion detection windows are adjusted so that their width and height
         are divisible by 8 (pixels).

4.41:L07 When saving a snapshot image, some web browsers (e.g. Mozilla) will
         fetch a new picture and the saved picture will not match the 
	 displayed snapshot.

4.41:L08 The Mozilla 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.

4.41:L09 Viewing full screen and sequencing through different external video
         sources with different video streams in a sequence will switch full
         screen mode off.

4.41:L10 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.

4.41:L11 If using dual screens and moving the AXIS Media Control window from 
         one screen to the other, the MPEG-4 stream may stop updating.
         Workaround: Reload the Live View page.

4.41:L12 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.

4.41:L13 The text overlay in a 90/270 degree rotated NTSC image is garbled in
         both MJPEG and MPEG4 when the image width is not evenly divisible by 
         16.

Modifications
=============

4.41:M01 Added Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and Sharpening Filter
         support for the new hardware revisions of 231D+ and 232D+.
