RELEASE 5.01
============

5.01 is the first official production release for the AXIS P3301.


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

5.01:L01 It is not possible to use a space in the upload path for a ftp 
	 server.

5.01:L02 If IPv6 is enabled while IPv4 is disabled, the DHCP options received 
	 from IPv4 are not removed. Also there is no IPv6 address in the mail 
	 body of an SMTP test mail.

5.01:L03 The NTP implementation will not synchronize to NTP servers that
	 signal an alarm condition (clock not synchronized) in its Leap
	 Indicator. 

5.01:L04 After changing the date/time of the camera, the video stream will 
	 stop after 60 seconds with an RTSP session time out. It does not 
	 matter if the media stream is started before or after the time is 
	 changed.
	 Workaround: Reboot the camera after the time has been changed 
	 manually or by NTP.

5.01:L05 If an image overlay is placed at 0,0 and a text overlay is top 
	 aligned, the image overlay will be placed below the text with no 
	 cropping.

5.01:L06 Previous root password is not available after a failed ftp flash_all 
	 FW upgrade or a factory default.

5.01:L07 It is not supported to configure always multicast RTP.

5.01:L08 Support for overlays other than full color have been disabled. 

5.01:L09 Setup of motion detection in a non-AMC environment does not work.

5.01:L10 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. 

5.01:L11 There is a difference between JPEG and H264 overlays and snapshots 
	 when aspect ratio correction is enabled.

5.01:L12 The image is neither mirrored nor rotated at Motion Detection page. 

5.01:L13 The AXIS Media Control client may stop displaying the H.264 video 
	 stream after the PC has been locked.
	 Workaround: Reload the Live View page.

5.01:L14 AXIS Media Control may on some client computers buffer up images 
	 which may lead to latency and use of memory. Stopping the streams 
	 will restore the memory. Workaround: The max buffer size in the 
	 AXIS Media Control can be decreased to stop that much memory from 
	 beeing allocated.

5.01:L15 A recording from AXIS Media Control sometimes gets a invalid file 
	 length written in the file header when the disk is full. Except 
	 the header file length, the file data should be correct.

5.01:L16 Stream profile names are limited to alphanumerical characters.

5.01:L17 If a tab or window with a runnning MJPEG stream is closed in 
	 Firefox 3 the stream will still be running in the background. The 
	 stream is not closed until Firefox is terminated.
 
5.01:L18 When using Mozilla Firefox to view MJPEG, a line might appear in the 
	 bottom half of the image when there is a lot of movement. 

5.01:L19 The combination of MJPEG, AAC and multipart is not supported.

5.01:L20 We do not support full duplex for audio.

5.01:L21 With Safari on Mac OS X Leopard G711 audio stream will be very choppy.
