RELEASE 5.15.1
==============

Added features
==============

Corrected problems
==================

5.15.1: C01 Adjusted sensor data timing setup. At certain temperatures
	the sensor data came out of sync resulting in distorted images.

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

5.15.1:L01 SMTP authentication does not work with IPv6.

5.15.1:L02 In Internet Explorer 6, the live view may stop when pressing buttons
	 in the live view interface.

5.15.1:L03 There is no error feedback when a corrupt uploaded audioclip is
	 played.

5.15.1:L04 Limiting the bandwith to lower than 100kbit/s may lead to
         sporadically losing contact with the camera

5.15.1:L05 There haven been some problems with getting pictures in live view
         using QuickTime player version 7.6.4.
         Workaround: Use QuickTime 7.4.5 instead.

5.15.1:L06 Events triggered by multiple input ports may not always work.

5.15.1:L07 The camera can not play an audio clip while a viewer is sending/
	 receiving audio from to/from the camera.

5.15.1:L08 Having a rule in ACS which triggers the output on motion detection
         generates a log message "Failed to write to client when generating
         heartbeat. Broken pipe". Everything else works as expected.

5.15.1:L09 An uploaded audio clip must be less than 1.5MB.

5.15.1:L10 An uploaded bitmap overlay is made partially transparent
	 unconditionally.

5.15.1:L11 With audio enabled, the initial connection latency is increased.

5.15.1:L12 Maximum brightness will not result in a white image.

5.15.1:L13 Stream profile names are limited to alphanumerical characters.

5.15.1:L14 When an event or event server is added, modified or deleted all 
         running events will be stopped and restarted.

5.15.1:L15 If RTSP authentication is switched off, streaming H.264 with QuickTime
         and other Apple compatible clients will not work as they require 
         authentication of the RTSP, but do not allow HTTP authentication.

5.15:L16 Bitmap images have more contrast than the corresponding JPEG images.

5.15.1:L17 When the camera is in RFL-mode (after a failed upgrade), flash
         loading it with Firefox will sometimes not work. Use Internet
	 Explorer instead.

5.15.1:L18 If you do both unregister and register to Axis Internet Dynamic DNS
	 really fast, a critical message will be shown in the log: "Failed to
	 write to file. Broken pipe."

5.15.1:L19 When you redefine the HOME position and remove it, the preset
         position will not be deleted. It will be saved as Home. 

5.15.1:L20 The first AAC-packet received from the camera sometimes look like this: 
         "00 10 07 c8 01 40 40 06 fe 50 00 00 00 00 00 ...." and more zeroes until
         the AU length is reached.
