Release 4.40
============
4.40 is the first official production release for the AXIS 216MFD/216MFD-V

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

4.40:L01  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.

4.40:L02  Motion detection windows are adjusted so that their width and height
          are divisible by 8 (pixels).

4.40:L03  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.

4.40:L04  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.

4.40:L05  Viewing full screen and sequencing through different external video
          sources with different video streams in a sequence will switch the full
          screen mode off.

4.40:L06  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.

4.40:L07  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.

4.40:L08  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.

4.40:L09  Including format field #b or #B in text overlay will show incorrect
          bandwidth usage when frame rate is limited for Motion JPEG.

4.40:L11  The Axis Media Control should reload itself at audio configuration
          changes on server. Sometimes it does not.
          Workaround: Reload the Live View page.

4.40:L12  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.
4.40:L13  Video/audio stream can't be received in IE7 if an IPv6 address is used.
          Workaround: Use DNS name.

4.40:L14  When using JavaApplet viewer, sound in browsers on a MAC can be choppy.
