when they are set to "blank" and fixes a problem with despeckle , that didn't
allow to remove labeling action from http remote control. (Angel Carpintero)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/FixStringsAndDisableLabeling

fix to free cnt->eventtime_tm when motion exits. (Angel Carpintero)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/FixTypoInComments
* Fix the problem that happens in FreeBSD and Debian Sarge because
version of ffmpeg is LIBAVFORMAT_BUILD < 4629. ( Pete Shipley and Angel Carpintero)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x01x12x120335
* Updated motion.spec. Changing D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 by D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 to fix
problem related to building with ffmpeg. (Angel Carpintero)
* Implemented fix for missed snapshots with slow network cameras (Kenneth Lavrsen)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x02x07x162149
* Added some constants in video.c function v4l_picture_controls() which can help
people hack an optimal set of values for controlling auto brightness for their
particular camera. For now I am do not want to add all of these to the already
too large number of motion config options. Maybe based on feedback we can
permanently change the constants and add an additional auto brightness option.
Or maybe a combined option that sets more constant based on an algorithm.
(Kenneth Lavrsen)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x02x07x212816
* Fixed a syntax error in picture.c get_pgm() which caused the program to segfault
when a mask file size did not match the picture size. Now the program
correctly gives an error message and continues without the mask. (Kenneth
Lavrsen).

* Added the ffmpeg_deinterlace feature (Andrew Hamilton)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/MotionffmpegDeinterlace
3.2.4 Formal Release. Summary of changes
Features
* New text option text_event and new conversion specifier %C. Option
text_event defines the value %C which then can be used in filenames and
text_right/text_left. The text_event/%C uses the time stamp for the first
image detected in a new event. Default value is %Y%m%d%H%M%S. %C is an empty
string when no event is in progress (gap period expired). Pre_captured
and minimum_motion_frames images are time stamped before the event happens
so %C in text_left/right does not have any effect on those images.
* Added new option track_auto which is a boolean option (on or off)
with default value off. This enables people to start Motion with auto
tracking enabled. Changing the config value for track_auto and
enabling the auto tracking via the httpd track/auto has the exact same
effect.
* Added 3 new tracking options: track_step_angle_x, track_step_angle_y,
and track_move_wait. The options track_step_angle control the movement
during auto tracking and are currently only active for the pwc type
tracking. The idea is that they can later also be used for the generic
tracking as it evolves. The track_move_wait controls the number of frames
after the camera has moved (auto or manual) during which motion detection
is disabled. This option should be set so low that the motion detection
is re-enabled the minute the camera is standing still again.
* Added new sql_query option. This in combination with convertion
specifiers incl the two new %f and %n enables the user to use any database
structure they please. Adding fields is now a simple matter of modifying
the sql query.
* Added the %t conversion specifier which is the thread (camera) number.
* Added two new conversion specifiers: %f which is filename (full path)
and %n which is filetype (sqltype) valid in on_picture_save, on_movie_start,
on_movie_end and sql_query. This also means that filename is no longer
appended at the end of the 3 on_xxxx commands.
* http control had a number of small improvements.
* Added the debian sub directory so that people can build the deb package.
* Enhanced netcam compatibility with Lumenera and Pixord Cameras.
* Netcam feature now supports both http and ftp.
* Added an infinite retry scheme for netcams that are not available
when Motion is started. Instead of just dying, Motion now retries every
10 seconds until the netcam is available. Until the netcam is available
Motion enters a mode showing a grey image with a text information which
is fed to webcam, timelapse, snapshots, vloopback etc. If the actual
height and width of the netcam does not match the dimensions in the
config file Motion will perform a quick restart.
* Added a better error handling of a netcam that changes dimensions
while Motion is running. Instead of just writing error messages Motion
restarts quickly to recover from this change.
* FreeBSD Code improvements including set/get hue, saturation, contrast
and brightness, support large resolutions.
* RPM specs file changed as suggested for use in the Livna repository.
* Changed the sequence of events connected with creating files. Data is
now written to the databases (if used) before an external comments is
on (on_xxxx options) allowing the external program to use the new data
in the database.
* Motion is now also works on MaxOSX with similar feature set as FreeBSD.
Bugfixes
* netcam code now waits for the next frame to arrive for a limited period
in order to avoid too many duplicate images.
* Motion loop resets its frame timer when the image received is from a netcam.
This lowers the actual framerate of Motion to the rate the netcam can actually
keep up with.
* Removed all warnings when running ./configure --with-developer-flags.
* Fixed error message with unknown config option.
* Fixed small mistake in allocating memory for cnt->imgs.common_buffer.
* Implemented a speed-up patch of the draw text feature.
* Introduced check for device image size being a multiple of 16.
* Switchfilter feature repaired.
* Fixed small bug where motion was detected when using a tracking camera and
the camera moved to center position when gap period expires.
* Implemented fix to configure so that LDFLAGS from the environment are used
when making the Makefile.
* Changed configure so that --with-jpeg-mmx is default off as a reaction to
known problems seen when using the jpeg-mmx library.
* The lightswitch and switchfilter features have changed to ensure that both
algorithms work on raw unfiltered motion pixels which they both were designed
for.
* Fixed bug related to init of mutex in netcam code.
* Fixed small bug where the displayed time in the grey error image
shown during start with unavailable netcam could show a garbage value
under rare circumstances.
* Restored the function sigchild_handler so it contains the same code
as before motion-3.2.1_snap9. They is done in an attempt to fix an old
problem with zombie child processes that has shown up again.
* Added a work-around so people in FreeBSD that uses a capture card
where input 1 is not tuner can use motion if frequency is set -1 in
motion.conf or thread#.conf
3.2.4 Detailed changes for 3.2.4
snap1
* Removed all warnings originating from the motion sources when running
./configure --with-developer-flags.
The modifications were done by the following people: Peter Holik, Bill Brack,
Angel Carpintero and Kenneth Lavrsen.
We now encourage developers to ensure that new code is checked with
--with-developer-flags and code made so that no new warnings shows originating
from the motion sources.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ReduceWarningsPatch
* Fixed error message with unknown config option (Bill Brack)
* Fixed small mistake in allocating memory for cnt->imgs.common_buffer
(Angel Carpintero).
* Implemented a speed-up patch of the draw text feature (Peter Holik).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/DrawTextspeedup
* http control updated: (null) messages replaced by "disabled", last parameter
in conf/list are displayed correctly and only in Main thread. When motion runs
with only one thread, it displays "No threads". (Angel Carpintero)
* Enhanced compatibility with Lumenera (Bill Brack)
* http control: selectbox instead of a textfield for changing boolean configs
(Peter Holik and Angel Carpintero).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebhttpEnhancements.
* Introduced check for device image size being a multiple of 16 (Peter Holik).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamModulo16Patch
* Added the debian sub directory so that people can build the deb package
(Angel Carpintero).
* Sync configure.in.freebsd (adding support for jpeg-mmx, developer-flags and
some cosmetic changes ) (Angel Carpintero)
* Implemented --with-developer-flags fixes in FreeBSD code (Angel Carpintero).
* Implemented Threadnr in TLS (thread-local storage)patch. It puts the thread
number into TLS and modifies motion_log() so that we do not have to drag the
cnt struct around just to be able to print the thread number in the log and
on the console. (Per Jönsson with additional removal of unused cnt by
Kenneth Lavrsen).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ThreadNrTlsPatch
* Moved the motion_loop initialization into a new function motion_init
(Bill Brack).
* Removed old unused code related to read mode (not mmap) from V4L devices
(Kenneth Lavrsen).
* In v4l_start change map from unsigned char * to void * to be ANSI C compliant
with mmap (Angel Carpintero)
* http control: Changed disabled to (not defined) when displaying option list
(Angel Carpintero)
* netcam code now waits for the next frame to arrive for a limited period
in order to avoid too many duplicate images (Bill Brack).
* Motion loop resets its frame timer when the image received is from a netcam.
This lowers the actual framerate of Motion to the rate the netcam can actually
keep up with. (Kenneth Lavrsen)
* Last --with-developer-flags warnings eliminated simply by swapping the
order of the #include statements in the sources (Bill Brack and Kenneth 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 capture
card and settings" , update packages dependencies .
* Remove support for libjpeg-mmx , motion segfault ( future fix ).
* Cosmetics changes in configure.in.freebsd ( replace --without-v4l by
without-bktr ).
* Cleanup code and fix warnings.
snap2
* Simplified rotation code based on the fact that images must have dimensions
that are a multiple of 16 (Per Jönsson)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/RotateSimplificationPatch
* Switchfilter feature repaired. It was called inside motion_detected()
after overlays on cnt->img.out were added which meant that the feature also
detected all the overlays, smartmasks, fixed mask and text. It is now moved
to the motion_loop right after the lightswitch feature and before any
overlays are added (Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Fixed small bug where motion was detected when using a tracking camera and
the camera moved to center position when gap period expires. The fix includes
gathering the updating of reference frame in one place only in the motion_loop
(Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Implemented the new text option text_event and new conversion specifier %C.
Option text_event defines the value %C which then can be used in filenames
and text_right/text_left. The text_event/%C uses the time stamp for the first
image detected in a new event. Default value is %Y%m%d%H%M%S. %C is an empty
string when no event is in progress (gap period expired). Pre_captured
and minimum_motion_frames images are time stamped before the event happens
so %C in text_left/right does not have any effect on those images (Kenneth
Lavrsen).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/EventConvertionSpecifierDiscussion
* Renamed some variables related to time to be better descriptive of function
and type (Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Added new option 'sql_user_text'. This can be defined with the same
conversion specifiers as text_xxx, on_xxxx and filenames. The SQL field
text_left has been removed and replaced by a field user_text which is
used for storing the interpreted value of sql_user_text (Kenneth Lavrsen)
* Added new SQL field event_time_stamp of the type TIMESTAMP
(Kenneth Lavrsen).
snap3
* Enhancement to Netcam Code for Connection to Pixord Cameras (Bill Brack).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamFixPixordBug
* Implemented fix to configure so that LDFLAGS from the environment are used
when making the Makefile (Angel Carpintero).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x09x15x185558
* Changed configure so that --with-jpeg-mmx is default off as a reaction to
known problems seen when using the jpeg-mmx library (Angel Carpintero).
* RPM specs file changed as suggested for use in the Livna repository.
(Kenneth Lavrsen)
* The lightswitch and switchfilter features have been moved up before the
despeckle features are run. This should ensure that both algorithms work on
raw unfiltered motion pixels which they both were designed for. (Kenneth
Lavrsen)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x10x05x212444
snap4
* Integrated NetcamWithFtp patch. To use ftp simply use a URL starting with
ftp:// (Bill Brack). Code was additionally cleaned up by Kenneth Lavrsen.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamWithFTP
* Changed error handling in vid_start so that failing to open the video
device no longer causes an exit but a return with error code -1. (Kenneth
Lavrsen)
* Added the %t conversion specifier to show the thread number. (Angel
Carpintero).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ThreadConversionSpecifierPatch
* Added help texts in conf.c and motion-dist.conf describing the %t
specifier. Added a good example of use in motion-dist.conf. (Kenneth
Lavrsen).
* Fixed bug related to init of mutex in netcam code (Angel Carpintero).
* Improved fix for netcam mutex init (Bill Brack).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamFixPthreadInit
* Netcam_ftp code fixes (Angel Carpintero and Asbjørn Pettersen)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamWithFtpEnhancements
* Enhanced ffmpeg detection (Angel Carpintero).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BetterFFmpegDetection
* Added two new conversion specifiers: %f which is filename (full path)
and %n which is filetype (sqltype) valid in on_picture_save, on_movie_start,
on_movie_end and sql_query. This also means that filename is no longer
appended at the end of the 3 on_xxxx commands. (Kenneth Lavrsen)
* Removed the sql_user_text option that was added in snap 2 (Kenneth
Lavrsen)
* Added new sql_query option. This in combination with convertion
specifiers incl the two new %f and %n enables the user to use any database
structure they please. Added fields is now a simple matter of modifying
the sql query. The default is the same as the default in snap1.
(Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Changed the sequence of events connected with creating files. Data is
now written to the databases (if used) before an external comments is
on (on_xxxx options) allowing the external program to use the new data
in the database (Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Added an infinite retry scheme for netcams that are not available
when Motion is started. Instead of just dying, Motion now retries every
10 seconds until the netcam is available. Until the netcam is available
Motion enters the normal flow with the same grey image with a text
information being fed to webcam, timelapse, snapshots, vloopback etc.
Motion uses the width and height from the config file for this. It is
a good idea to setup width and height so it is the same as the netcam.
If the dimensions are the same Motion will switch over to the netcam
seemlessly. If the dimensions are different Motion will perform a quick
restart so all the many internal buffers can be initialized properly
(Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Added a better error handling of a netcam that changes dimensions
while Motion is running. Instead of just writing error messages Motion
restarts quickly to recover from this change. Note the now more well
defined error coding for vid_next for both netcams and V4L cams.
(Kenneth Lavrsen)
snap5
* Fixed small bug where the displayed time in the grey error image
shown during start with unavailable netcam could show a garbage value
under rare circumstances. (Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Restored the function sigchild_handler so it contains the same code
as before motion-3.2.1_snap9. They is done in an attempt to fix an old
problem with zombie child processes that has shown up again.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x11x13x115016
(Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Move the declaration of sig_handler_action and sigchild_action from
the setup_signals function where they are local and will be destroyed
and out in main just before setup_signals is called. Changed the
function setup_signals so the two structs are passed as pointers.
(Kenneth Lavrsen)
Release
* Added new option track_auto which is a boolean option (on or off)
with default value off. This enable people to start Motion with auto
tracking enabled. Changing the config value for track_auto and
enabling the auto tracking via the httpd track/auto has the exact same
effect. (Kenneth Lavrsen)
* Added 3 new tracking options: track_step_angle_x, track_step_angle_y,
and track_move_wait. The options track_step_angle control the movement
during auto tracking and are currently only active for the pwc type
tracking. The idea is that they can later also be used for the generic
tracking as it evolves. The track_move_wait controls the number of frames
after the camera has moved (auto or manual) during which motion detection
is disabled. This option should be set so low that the motion detection
is re-enabled the minute the camera is standing still again. Feature
originally made by Moshe Van Der Sterre. Kenneth Lavrsen extended it to
be more generic.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/PwcConfiguration
* New Feature: Motion is now also supported on MaxOSX with similar
feature set as for Free BSD. See README.MacOSX for details how to install
it. (Angel Carpintero)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/MacOSXPatch
* Added a work-around so people in FreeBSD that uses a capture card
where input 1 is not tuner can use motion if frequency is set -1 in
motion.conf or thread#.conf (Angel Carpintero).
3.2.3 Detailed changes for 3.2.3
Bugfix release only. No new features.
* Fixed a bug in the http control code that failed to accept a client
connecting in some systems (Peter Holik).
* Fixed a series of bugs where several feature were using the image buffer
after text was added for noise tuning, auto_brightness, reference frame
update when tracking etc. When a netcam failed to produce an image the
text added to the previous image became motion detected also. The code is
not changed so that the ring buffer is used for timestamped images
and the image used for detection is in a buffer cnt->imgs.image_virgin.
(Kenneth Lavrsen).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x08x15x140701
* Auto brightness used the first image in ring buffer instead of the
latest image and it used an image with time stamping. It now uses the new
cnt->imgs.image_virgin buffer.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x08x15x160208
* Cleaned out unused code from httpd control (Angel Carpintero).
* Option switch_filter used print_int instead of print_bool when motion.conf
was saved (Kenneth Lavrsen).
3.2.2 Formal Release. Summary of changes
Features
* New completely rewritten netcam code.
* Proxy servers are again supported by netcam feature
* New conversion specifier %o for threshold
* New convertion specifier %Q for number of labels
* Drawing of mask and smartmask in setup mode improved
* Compilation of motion on 64 bit machines improved
* RPMs can now be built by non-root user
* Improved the labelling algorithm so that locate feature and tracking features
includes all labelled areas above threshold
* Motion now supports the mjpeg webcam stream while saving PPM images.
* New improved webcam feature. When you set webcam_motion on Motion will now
stream at 1 fps instead of none. When motion is detected the webcam stream
increases to the limit set in the config file. This change makes the
webcam_motion much more interesting. The previous function always ended up
with clients timing out.
* Implemented the libjpeg-mmx patch. Installing the MMX version of libjpeg
can increase performance. Especially for machines with very little CPU power.
It only modifies the configure script. If you do not have the libjpeg-mmx
the configure script with ignore this and use the standard libjpeg.
Note that RPMS will be built without this
* Improved descriptions in motion.conf
* Many small code speed optimizations.
* Added new feature: Double size text. A new config option 'text_double' can
be set 'on' and this scales the text to double size. Default is off.
* Improved error handling of missing picture frames from camera. Especially
network cameras will often not be able to provide a picture frame from time
to time. Motion would retry before and eventually and rather quickly exit
the camera thread and maybe completely exit. The improved handling now
makes a copy of the previous frame for 30 seconds (longer if cpu_low is
activated because the implementation is 30 X framerate frames) and then
show a grey image with a message saying the connection is lost and an ISO
format time stamp of first poor connection.
* Added a configure option --with-developer-flags which enables many compiler
warnings that can be used by developers to make code more robust. Not
for normal users building Motion.
* Included a CODE_STANDARD text file to help new developers make patches
that are easier to integrate without too much manual editing.
Bug Fixes
* Fixed a bug in the autobrightness algorithm
* Fixed bug reporting errors when creating symlink to last snap
* Improved code so that Motion no longer uses the tmpfile() function for
buffering the frames of the mjpeg stream.
* Implemented a fix/work around to a bug related to building and installing
RPMs on Suse.
* Improved signal handler
* Code commented much more.
* Many bugfixes to get Motion more stable (less segfaults)
* Code improved to remove all warnings when compiled with gcc 4.0
* Better FreeBSD support
* Replace functions not threadsafe with threadsafe functions.
* Implemented a much easier to use motion_log function which replaces the
calls to printf and syslog. This code change as no impact to the user.
* Fixed a bug in video.c so that VIDEO_PALETTE_GREY cameras now actually work.
* Updated the ffmpeg.c code so that Motion can now be built with ffmpeg CVS
release from the June/July 2005 timeframe.
3.2.2 Detailed changes for 3.2.2
snap1
* Pthread deadlock in motion 3.2.1 fixed (Angel Carpintero)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x05x26x125712
* http lockup bugfixes and ConvertSignalToSigaction only for webhttpd
(Angel Carpintero)
* alg_draw_location: Use temporary variables to store the values used in
for() loops instead of compute them in each loop (Angel Carpintero).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ImproveAlgDrawLocation
* Small speed boost to the function draw_textn (Andrew Hamilton and
Angel Carpintero).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/DrawTextnImprovement
* Added two new convertion specifiers: %o for threshold and %Q for number
of labels. (Kenneth Lavrsen)
* Improved the config file description for pre_capture to get people to
use small values (Kenneth Lavrsen).
snap2
* Avoid Cleanup Segfault. Avoid Cleanup Segfault. Allocates filepath using
strdup to avoid segfault is target_dir parameter is not supplied in
motion.conf. Moves out from signal handler the cleanup for pipe and mpipe.
(Angel Carpintero)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/AvoidCleanupSegfault
* Major code cleanup concerning signedness of chars all over the code to
allow compilation with gcc4.0 (like in Fedora Core 4) without any
errors or warnings. This will probably require that some of the not yet
included patches will have to be fixed because it it code all over the
place that has been changed. (Kenneth Lavrsen)
snap3
* Changed the order of drawing the red mask in setup mode so that the
smartmask is drawn after the fixed mask (Joerg Weber).
* Changed the configure script so that /usr/lib64 is also searched for
the presence of ffmpeg (should fix the problem with 64 bit machines)
(Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Changed the configure script so that rpms can be made by normal non-root
users (Angel Carpintero, Kenneth Lavrsen).
snap4
* Fixed the ffmpeg code so that Motion also compiles against libavcodec
build 4754 or later. (Per Jönsson)
* Above change in configure script for 64 bit ffmpeg support also implemented
in the freeBSD configure (Angel Carpintero)
* Webhttp control interface fixed so it also works in FreeBSD (Angel
Carpintero)
* Improved the display of fixed mask. It is now shown as grey instead of
red. This makes it easier to see the smart mask working when you also have
a fixed mask (Joerg Weber).
* Netcam First Header patch. If an error with jpeg decompression occurred at
connecting to a mjpeg streaming webcam, this patch skips this jpeg and tries
to decompress next jpeg up to MAX_HEADER_RETRIES (20) (Peter Holik).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamFirstHeader
snap5
* Small improvement in framerate accuracy (Peter Holik).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/FramerateAdjust
* Fixed a bug in the autobrightness algorithm (Per Johnsson)
* Fixed a bug in the webhttpd code related to pan/tilt. Bug was introduced in
snap4 (Angel Carpintero, Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Improved the labelling algorithm so that locate feature and tracking features
includes all labelled areas above threshold (Joerg Weber).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ImprovedLabellingPatch
* Fixed bug reporting errors when creating symlink to last snap (Bill Maidment)
* Changed all use of localtime to localtime_r which is threadsafe
(Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Implemented a modified version of the WebcamCompressInMemory so that Motion
no longer uses the tmpfile() function for buffering the frames of the mjpeg
stream (Peter Holik).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebcamCompressInMemory
* Modified the WebcamCompressInMemory patch so that Motion now supports the
mjpeg webcam stream while being setup for saving PPM images (Kenneth Lavrsen).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebcamCompressInMemory
* Major clean-up of code in picture.c and webcam.c so that function names and
variable names are less confusing. Also added many comments in picture.c.
(Kenneth Lavrsen).
snap6
* Webcam code commented more (Kenneth Lavrsen)
* New improved webcam feature. When you set webcam_motion on Motion will now
stream at 1 fps instead of none. When motion is detected the webcam stream
increases to the limit set in the config file. This change makes the
webcam_motion much more interesting. The previous function always ended up
with clients timing out. (Kenneth Lavrsen).
snap7
* Implemented WebcamShortWriteHandling patch (Bill Brack)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebcamShortWriteHandlingPatch
* Implemented the libjpeg-mmx patch. Installing the MMX version of libjpeg
can increase performance. Especially for machines with very little CPU power.
It only modifies the configure script. If you do not have the libjpeg-mmx
the configure script with ignore this and use the standard libjpeg.
Note that RPMS will be built without this (Peter Holik and Angel Carpintero).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/LibJpegMmx
snap8
* Small code cleanup in webcam.c and picture.c and .h for the webcam code
(Peter Holik and Kenneth Lavrsen)
* Small code cleanup in motion.c for the variable holding the number of
microseconds since epoch. The old code worked fine but relied on an integer
overflow every 71 minutes. (Bill Brack and Kenneth Lavrsen)
* Implemented a fix/work around to a bug related to building and installing
RPMs on Suse. (Paul Beltrani)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x07x14x212356
* Small speed optimization in the creation of reference frame (Peter Holik).
* Complete rewrite of the Netcam code. Should fix many of the reported and
still open netcam bugs. This is first release in a snapshot. Expect to find
bugs. Testing is important. If you have a netcam please test this and report
bugs.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamCodeRewritePatch
snap9
* Fixed bug related to disabled webcam or duplicate webcam port. Error log
accept(): Socket operation on non-socket continuously written to syslog.
(Kenneth Lavrsen)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x08x01x150922
* Fixed memory leak in webhttpd related to use of strdup (Angel Carpintero).
* Improved the error reporting in the Netcam code and did a few minor
corrections and code cleanups (Bill Brack).
* Implemented a much easier to use motion_log function which replaces the
calls to printf and syslog. The implementation to actually use this has been
implemented in video.c and the Netcam code files. Rest will be in next snap.
This code change as no impact to the user (Bill Brack).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ErrorLoggingEnhancementPatch
* Fixed a bug in video.c so that VIDEO_PALETTE_GREY cameras now actually work
(Bill Brack).
* Implemented the conversion of signal to sigaction which should be more
thread safe. Hopefully this still keeps Motion from making Zombies.
(Christophe Grenier).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ConvertSignalToSigaction
* Added new feature: Double size text. A new config option 'text_double' can
be set 'on' and this scales the text to double size. Default is off.
(Andrew Hamilton).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/TextScalingPatch
snap10
* Error Logging Enhancement Patch v 1.3 (Angel Carpintero) including:
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ErrorLoggingEnhancementPatch
* Populate the motion_log to the whole motion source code.
* Fixed FreeBSD compilation.
* Added the possibility to pass NULL as struct context *
* Removed unused errno variables.
* Fixed errno in rotate.c , set to 0.
* Fixed some errno flags in webhttpd.c and motion.c
* Fixed a bug when not motion.conf is found
* Removed printf from all files
* Fixed the conf_list[] index in motion.c
* RotateBswapFix Patch v 2 (Per Jönsson) including:
* cleanup in code comments
* fix for __bswap_32 macro collision
* fixed bug where initialization would be incomplete for invalid degrees
of rotation
* now uses motion_log for error reporting
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/RotateBswapFix
* Re-mplementation of optional Proxy Server for Network Cameras (Bill Brack).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamProxyServerPatch
* Included a CODE_STANDARD text file to help new developers make patches
that are easier to integrate without too much manual editing. (Kenneth
Lavrsen)
* Added the missing rotate feature in the new netcam code (Bill Brack)
snap11
* Updated the ffmpeg.c code so that Motion can now be built with ffmpeg CVS
release from the June/July 2005 timeframe (Per Jönsson).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/FfmpegCodecPatch
* Improved error handling of missing picture frames from camera. Especially
network cameras will often not be able to provide a picture frame from time
to time. Motion would retry before and eventually and rather quickly exit
the camera thread and maybe completely exit. The improved handling now
makes a copy of the previous frame for 5 seconds (longer if cpu_low is
activated because the implementation is 5 X framerate frames) and then
show a grey image with a message saying the connection is lost and an ISO
format time stamp of first poor connection. (Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Implemented version 2 of the NetcamErrorImprovementPatch which should
work with the improved error handler. Changes include:
* Changes handling of non-streaming camera to include a separate thread.
* Changes the value returned from netcam_next to the motion main loop to
indicate the status of the image returned.
* Many changes to the comments, and some enhancement to the logic, to begin
the implementation of points agreed on the NetcamRetryErrorDiscussion page.
* Implements the triple-buffering scheme proposed by PeterHolik (but not the
"Without Locking" portion of his proposal).
Version 2 however does not seems to recover when an mjpeg stream resumes
after a period of not being available. (Bill Brack)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamErrorImprovementPatch
* Note: Snap11 release as a developer sync release. Bug reports welcome.
FreeBSD code changes not tested yet.
Release
* Netcam error handling improvements and cleanup from Valgrind analysis
(Bill Brack).
* Added a configure option --with-developer-flags which enables many compiler
warnings that can be used by developers to make code more robust. Not
for normal users building Motion (Bill Brack)
* http-control: Fixed segfault when motion is restarted from command line
( kill -s 1 pid_motion ). Improved control code so Motion can Restart and
Finish 'smoothly'. (Angel Carpintero).
