RELEASE 5.11.1
==============

New features in 5.11.1 since 5.11 
==========================

5.11.1:F01 SPS/PPS data available in the H264 stream. 

5.11.1:F02 Multicast traffic VLAN tagged if AllowClientTransportSettings=yes.


Corrections
===========

5.11.1:C01 Behaviour of videostatus.cgi.


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

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

5.11:L02 The NTP implementation will not synchronize to NTP servers that
     signal an alarm condition (clock not synchronized) in its Leap
     Indicator. 

5.11:L03 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.

5.11:L04 Negative video X-offset values behaves like 0. Positive values moves 
     the picture to the left when they are suppose to move it to the right.

5.11: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.

5.11:L06 It is not supported to configure always multicast RTP.

5.11:L07 Support for overlays other than full color have been disabled. 

5.11:L08 Finding a scene where the difference between enabled and disabled 
     backlight compensation is clearly visible is difficult.

5.11:L09 The image is neither mirrored nor rotated at Motion Detection page. 

5.11:L10 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.

5.11:L11 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.

5.11:L12 Stream profile names are limited to alphanumerical characters.
 
5.11:L13 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. 

5.11:L14 It is possible to start two simultaneous guardtours. Since there is
     no priority between guardtours there will be a race condition. 
     The case were one guardtour is first started by the event system and 
     then a second one is started is still handled. In this case the event 
     that started first will run until it is shutdown and if the other event 
     is still active that guardtour will start to run.

5.11:L15 There are problems with PTZ when using java applet as viewer - the response 
     may seem slow, the camera movements jerky and the zoom wide button 
     does not zoom out fully.

5.11:L16 Setup of motion detection in a non-AMC environment does not work.

5.11:L17 Remote PTZ stops working on both server CPU and client CPU:s when disabling IPv4.
