Motion Snapshot Release 3.2.4 snap2

Release Notes

3.2.4 snap2 - 04 Sep 2005

Development Release

Changes since 3.2.3

snap1
    * Removed all warnings originating from the motion sources when running=
=20
./configure --with-developer-flags. The modifications were done by the=20
following people: Peter Holik, Bill Brack, Angel Carpintero and Kenneth=20
Lavrsen. We now encourage developers to ensure that new code is checked=20
with --with-developer-flags and code made so that no new warnings shows=20
originating from the motion sources.=20
<http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ReduceWarningsPatch>http://www.=
lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ReduceWarningsPatch=20

    * Fixed error message with unknown config option (Bill Brack)
    * Fixed small mistake in allocating memory for cnt->imgs.common_buffer=
=20
(Angel Carpintero).
    * Implemented a speed-up patch of the draw text feature (Peter Holik).=
=20
<http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/DrawTextspeedup>http://www.lavr=
sen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/DrawTextspeedup=20

    * http control updated: (null) messages replaced by "disabled", last=20
parameter in conf/list are displayed correctly and only in Main thread.=20
When motion runs with only one thread, it displays "No threads". (Angel=20
Carpintero)
    * Enhanced compatibility with Lumenera (Bill Brack).
    * http control: selectbox instead of a textfield for changing boolean=20
configs (Peter Holik and Angel Carpintero).=20
<http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebhttpEnhancements>http://www.=
lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebhttpEnhancements.=20

    * Introduced check for device image size being a multiple of 16 (Peter=
=20
Holik).=20
<http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamModulo16Patch>http://www.=
lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamModulo16Patch=20

    * Added the debian sub directory so that people can build the deb=20
package (Angel Carpintero).
    * Sync configure.in.freebsd (adding support for jpeg-mmx,=20
developer-flags and some cosmetic changes ) (Angel Carpintero)
    * Implemented --with-developer-flags fixes in FreeBSD code (Angel=20
Carpintero).
    * Implemented Threadnr in TLS (thread-local storage)patch. It puts the=
=20
thread number into TLS and modifies motion_log() so that we do not have to=
=20
drag the cnt struct around just to be able to print the thread number in=20
the log and on the console. (Per J=F6nsson with additional removal of=20
unuseded cnt by Kenneth Lavrsen).=20
<http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ThreadNrTlsPatch>http://www.lav=
rsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ThreadNrTlsPatch=20

    * Moved the motion_loop initialization into a new function motion_init=
=20
(Bill Brack).
    * Removed old unused code related to read mode (not mmap) from V4L=20
devices (Kenneth Lavrsen).
    * In v4l_start change map from unsinged char * to void * to be ANSI C=20
compliant with mmap (Angel Carpintero)
    * http control: Changed disabled to (not defined) when displaying=20
option list (Angel Carpintero).
    * Netcam code now waits for the next frame to arrive for a limited=20
period in order to avoid too many duplicate images (Bill Brack).
    * Motion loop resets its frame timer when the image received is from a=
=20
netcam. This lowers the actual framerate of Motion to the rate the netcam=20
can actually keep up with. (Kenneth Lavrsen)
    * Last --with-developer-flags warnings eliminated simply by swapping=20
the order of the #include statements in the sources (Bill Brack and Kenneth=
=20
Lavrsen).
    * FreeBSD Code improvements by Angel Carpintero.
        * Implemented set/get hue , saturation , contrast and brightness.
        * Better support to capture with big resolution ( 640x480 , 768x576=
 ).
        * Update Readme adding information about "how to configure a=20
capture card and settings", update packages dependencies.
        * Remove support for libjpeg-mmx , motion sefgault ( future fix ).
        * Cosmetics changes in configure.in.freebsd ( replace --without-v4l=
=20
by without-bktr ).
        * Cleanup code and fix warnings.

snap2
    * Simplified rotation code based on the fact that images must have=20
dimentions that are a multiple of 16 (Per J=F6nsson)=20
<http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/RotateSimplificationPatch>http:=
//www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/RotateSimplificationPatch.=20

    * Switchfilter feature repaired. It was called inside motion_detected()=
=20
after overlays on cnt->img.out were added which meant that the feature also=
=20
detected all the overlays, smartmasks, fixed mask and text. It is now moved=
=20
to the motion_loop right after the lightswitch feature and before any=20
overlays are added (Kenneth Lavrsen).
    * Fixed small bug where motion was detected when using a tracking=20
camera and the camera moved to center position when gap period expires. The=
=20
fix includes gathering the updating of reference frame in one place only in=
=20
the motion_loop (Kenneth Lavrsen).
    * Implemented the new text option text_event and new conversion=20
specifier %C. Option text_event defines the value %C which then can be used=
=20
in filenames and text_right/text_left. The text_event/%C uses the time=20
stamp for the first image detected in a new event. Default value is=20
%Y%m%d%H%M%S. %C is an empty string when no event is in progress (gap=20
period expired). Pre_captured and minimum_motion_frames images are time=20
stamped before the event happens so %C in text_left/right does not have any=
=20
effect on those images (Kenneth Lavrsen).=20
<http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/EventConvertionSpecifierDiscuss=
ion>http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/EventConvertionSpecifierDisc=
ussion=20

    * Renamed some variables related to time to be better descriptive of=20
function and type (Kenneth Lavrsen).
    * Added new option 'sql_user_text'. This can be defined with the same=20
conversion specifiers as text_xxx, on_xxxx and filenames. The SQL field=20
text_left has been removed and replaced by a field user_text which is used=
=20
for storing the interpreted value of sql_user_text (Kenneth Lavrsen)
    * Added new SQL field event_time_stamp of the type TIMESTAMP (Kenneth=20
Lavrsen).

Next Steps

    * New features round saving config files. Still needs some discussion.
    * Auto tracking enabled when starting Motion controlled by option
    * Tracking feature through TCP/IP port.

Known Problems

    * See the=20
<http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReports>http://www.lavrsen.d=
k/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReports=20
for open bugs.
    * The pwc-ioctl.h is for pwc version 9.0.1, 10.0.6 and 10.0.7a. If you=
=20
still use the pwc 8 series then you need to use the headerfile=20
pwc-ioctl.h-pwc8.0 (copy the pwc-ioctl.h-pwc8.0 over pwc-ioctl.h). This is=
=20
relevant for USB cameras using Philips chips.
