[Motion-user] Motion Version 4.0

[Mr D. <mot...@gm...>]

Motion 4.0 has been released on the github site for those interested. 
https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases/tag/release-4.0

Deb packages have been created for the active distributions of 
Debian/Ubuntu/Pi and users should use these instead of building from 
source unless the very latest changes are required.  The guide has also 
been updated with the build instructions as well as all configuration 
options.  Some additional work is however still needed on the wiki pages.

Included below is the release notes for 4.0 which indicate the changes 
since 3.4.1.  The changes between 3.4.1 and 3.2.12 are listed in the 
notes for 3.4.1

Many thanks to all that have contributed to the version.

Mr-Dave
