Thanks go to:
Jeroen Vreeken
*** Original writer of this great program! ***
From 3.1.12 these contributions:
* Rewrite of PWC tracking code.
* Motion-control action.quit fix.
* Added tracking options to xmlrpc interface.
* Ignore SIGPIPE (crashes webcam code).
* Changed fast algorithm to imgs.size/10000 steps.
* Renamed prerecord to pre_capture to be more consistent with
post_capture.
* Redone pre_capture completely.
Kalle Andersson
* Created a patch that ensures that Motion detaches from
the stdin and stout devices so that a secure shell that was used to
start Motion in daemon mode does not hang when you exit the shell.
Ryan Ayers
* Implemented improvement of vid_putpipe so that Motion does not
spend time writing to a vloopback device which is not there.
Also introduced reporting to syslog of writing to vloopback
fails.
* Improved configure's ability to find custom installations of
ffmpeg.
* Misc. cosmetic changes in the code.
* Rewrote the ffmpeg functions completely added support for
new codecs/formats mpeg4 and msmpeg4. mpeg1 was improved also.
* Misc. improvement of the mpeg4 feature and new ffmpeg code.
Paul Beltrani
* Implemented a fix/work around to a bug related to building and installing
RPMs on Suse.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x07x14x212356
Michael Newlyn Blake
* For setting up the motion mailinglist and the onsave command.
Krzysztof Blaszkowski
* Removed a duplicate call to jpeg_destroy_decompress already is called from netcam_image_conv.
* Added V4L2 support http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/VideoForLinuxTwoDiscussion, (Krzysztof Blaszkowski, Angel Carpintero).
Mathias Bogaert
* Lots of good ideas and the motion logos
William M Brack
* Added patch that enables Motion to work with vloopback version 0.94
and kernel 2.6.10+.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/MotionAndVloopbackVideoDotCPatch
* Added support in configure for athlon64 from
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x01x30x190907
(Angel Carpintero and William M Brack)
* Fixed some gcc warnings
* Code cleanup from a valgrind analysis.
* Implemented WebcamShortWriteHandling patch
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebcamShortWriteHandlingPatch
* 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)
* Complete rewrite of the Netcam code. Should fix many of the reported and
still open netcam bugs.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamCodeRewritePatch
* Improved the error reporting in the Netcam code and did a few minor
corrections and code cleanups.
* 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.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ErrorLoggingEnhancementPatch
* Fixed a buf in video.c so that VIDEO_PALETTE_GREY cameras now actually work.
* Re-mplementation of optional Proxy Server for Network Cameras.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamProxyServerPatch
* Added the missing rotate feature in the new netcam code (Billl Brack)
* Netcam error handling improvements and cleanup from Valgrind analysis.
* 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.
* 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.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ReduceWarningsPatch
* Fixed error message with unknown config option.
* Enhanced compatibility with Lumenera.
* Moved the motion_loop initialization into a new function motion_init.
* netcam code now waits for the next frame to arrive for a limited period
in order to avoid too many duplicate images.
* Last --with-developer-flags warnings eliminated simply by swapping the
order of the #include statements in the sources (Bill Brack and Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Enhancement to Netcam Code for Connection to Pixord Cameras.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamFixPixordBug
* Fix related to connecting to the netcam. From mailing list 23 Dec 2005.
* Fixed problem related to fetching images from Network camera and error
handling when it fails. Motion would end in infinite loops.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x03x10x000151
* Fix conv_uyvyto420p segfault.
* Enhancing the palette selection.
John Bray
* Get current directory to allow write motion.conf properly
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2008x02x25x013419
Andy Brown
* Add swf codec to video creation (on behalf of Bowser Pete).
Ashley Cambrell
* PostgreSQL support, put_jpeg_grey(), webcam bugfixes.
Angel Carpintero
* Improved configure process which automatically detects presence
of xmlrpc-c and ffmpeg and makes the Makefile accordingly.
* Improvement of configure reporting of missing shared libraries.
* Fix for building motion without ffmpeg (missing #ifdef round newly
added ffmpeg timelapse code)
* Implemented RH (sysV) and Debian type control scripts for /etc/init.d
* Memory clean-up improvements when Motion exits normally.
* Provided several improvements of error handling.
* Ported Motion to FreeBSD.
* Created the spec file so that Kenneth can build RPMS when releasing
Motion.
* Improved error handling for the netcam functions.
* Implemented fix for compiling errors when building the FreeBSD version
without bktr support.
* Added a new config option --without-optimizecpu which disables the
CPU specific compiler optimizations introduced with the rotate phase 2
patch.
* Implemented Streaming Netcam Without Curl which enables connecting to
network cameras both with single jpeg frame mode and streaming mjpeg
mode. This enables much higher framerates with Netcams. (with
Christopher Price).
* Improved the Netcam patch (Angel Carpintero)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/pub/Motion/StreamingNetcamWithoutCurl/
(pre2 patch fixes problem with not detecting Content-length and segfaults
in netcam)
* Implemented a POSIX compliant SIGCHLD signal handler as replacement for
the traditional signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN) which can cause floods of
warnings in some RedHat versions. (with Kenneth Lavrsen)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2004x10x26x134906
* Improved the Netcam patch (Angel Carpintero)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/pub/Motion/StreamingNetcamWithoutCurl/
(pre3 reconnection feature added)
* Fixed several bugs in new netcam code introduced in 3.1.18

http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x02x03x035918
* Netcam code: Change printf() to fprintf().
* Netcam code: Cleanup memory netcam (netcam.c , motion.c ).
* Netcam code: Redesign of reconnection feature.
* Configure: Added debug , conditional compile of xmlrpc-c
* Fix a non allocated pointer to be freed.
* Added fix to BugReport2005x02x11x170019
* Added fix to BugReport2005x02x11x150802

* 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
* 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
* Simplified rotation code based on the fact that images must have dimensions
that are a multiple of 16.

Mike Kenney
* Implemented a fix for the rare problem where some experienced that the
move file names would only consist of the extension .mpg or .avi with no
name in front. The root cause was the use of sprintf for appending to
strings. (Mike Kenney and Kenneth Lavrsen)

Matthias Kilian
* Configure patch which enables configure to find and use a
dynamic library of ffmpegs libavcodec.so
Daniel Ladd
* Fixed a bug in the rgb2yuv420p function.

Kenneth Lavrsen (Currently project managing Motion)
* Wrote the excellent Motion Guide. (Jeroen wrote this :-) )
* Fixed low_cpu to check for a 1sec. maximum wait.
* Updated manpage for 3.0.0
* New usertext additions to draw.c
* Fixed ffmpeg compatibility for ffmpeg 0.4.8
* Fixed ffmpeg instability problem
* Fixed "ioctl(VIDIOCGCHAN): Invalid argument" error
* Changed motion.conf to motion-dist.conf.
* Changed the parsing of the motion.conf and thread.conf files so
that spaces are now allowed.
* Changed the parsing of the user defined on screen display text
so that you can enclose a string in "" both in config file
and using the XML-RPC interface. Ie. you can use spaces in the
text.
* Changed conf.c so that xml-rpc command motion.conf.write creates
a much more user friendly motion.conf file.
* Modified Ian's on screen display putting back the config parameter
drawtext_changes. If enabled the number of changed pixes are shown
in the upper right corner of the image.
* Removed the snap_override feature and reduced the oldlayout to an
Berkeley mpeg_encode feature only renaming it to
berkeley_single_directory. Instead the flexible filename
feature now has oldlayout as default and the "new" directory layout
specified in the motion.conf file.
* Motion.conf sequency re-arranged so the important things comes first.
* Changed names of many options to be more user friendly.
* Renamed the options for displayed text to text_right, text_left and
text_changes.
* Change the parsing of config files so that the argument can be in
quotation marks (" or ') allowing leading spaces for the text_left
and text_right options. This means that you can place the text
anywhere on the picture by using spaces and new lines \n.
* Fixed problem with strftime based names with event number %v when
event numbers were higher than 99.
* Changed motion-control to make a proper output from motion.conf.list.
* Renamed ffmpeg_timelaps to ffmpeg_timelapse (we change now or never)
* Corrected man page (\n) (thanks Daniel).
* Added setting access rights to 644 (755 for configure) when doing
make dist.
* Small improvement on xmlrpc-api.html document.
* Fixed missing init of viddev.frequency causing VIDIOCGCHAN errors.
XML-RPC changes of threshold and noise_level are now being used as
long as threshold_tune and noise_level are not enabled.
* Enabled the round robin feature to also work by changing frequency on
the same device and same input.
* Fixed the pre_capture feature so that it also stores the jpegs properly.
* Fixed the ffmpeg_timelapse feature so that the calculated time is
correct and the current image is used instead of an old image from
position 0 in the pre_capture ring buffer.
* Fixed ffmpeg routines so that also graytone images can be
pre_captured and used with ffmpeg_timelapse.
* Fixed the position of the incrementing of shots in the motion_loop
so that it is correct before any functions use it.
* Added quite many comments to the code to make it easier to maintain
(more comments will be added).
* Removed some old debugging printf's that were displayed in non-quiet
mode.
* Changed to snapshot feature from being alarm driven to being timer
driven. This means that each thread can have its own interval
value. The XML-RPC motion.action.snapshot still works. The SIGALRM
method has been changed so that all thread that have the snapshot_interval
non zero will take a snapshot when being signaled with SIGALRM. A
negative value for snapshot_interval will activate the SIGALRM trigger
but not the timing interval.
* Kenneth Lavrsen changed the enhanced SQL config from single sql_mask
option to 5 sel_log_ options for more user friendly control.
* Changed the behaviour of onsave back to original mode where also
snapshots causes onsave command to be run.
* Fixed a bug in frequency setting of V4L device.
* A few lines of code for Dan's improved handling of config strings.
* Daniel Sterling and Kenneth Lavrsen added a feature that checks for
two threads having the same webcam_port. If this is the case the last
thread gets its webcam disabled and a warning message is written
to console and syslog.
* Small improvements in messages sent to console and syslog during
startup of Motion.
* Fixed the problem with default strings being written to thread
config files when using the XMLRPC command motion.conf.write.
* Fixed memory leaks in new ffmpeg code.
* Changed the ffmpeg code so that mpeg1 files are created using the
libavcodec method and mpeg4 and msmpeg4 are created using the new
libavframe method in ffmpeg.
* Added seconds and frame fields to the database feature.
* Fixed a small bug related to the filename given for onffmpegclose.
changed the configure option --with-libavcodec to --with-ffmpeg
and updated Guide and man pages and text in code and config file to
match the new shared library way of using ffmpeg.
* Added the new fields to the SQL security table camera (thread
number), text (text_left) and time (timestamp).
* Simplified the sql functions (1 instead of 3) and ensured that the
text field is not assigned when text_left is an empty string. This
allows for the field to be auto defaulted.
* Added additional error reporting to console.
* Implemented a new lightswitch feature so that is now triggers lightswitch
detected based on the percentage of pixels set by the lightswitch option which
is now an integer instead of a boolean. When lightswitch is detected motion
skips 5 frames to allow camera to settle.
* Fixed a bug in the autobrightness function.
* Fixed a bug in netcam_start() - wrong imgs.size calculation.
* Removed the obsolete Berkeley mpeg feature.
* Corrected a small error in the usage help text
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x01x05x174139
* Improved the help text for config option night_compensate in docs,
conf.c, motion man pages and config file.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x01x06x103939
* Implemented a POSIX compliant SIGCHLD signal handler as replacement for
the traditional signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN) which can cause floods of
warnings in some RedHat versions. (with Angel Carpintero)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2004x10x26x134906
* Changed the reporting of the changes of noise detection level so that
it is only displayed in the console (daemon off) when the always_changes
option is enabled. (Kenneth Lavrsen)
* Changed the ffmpeg>0.4.8 = no mpeg1 gcc warning message so that it is
clear to people that it is information and not an error message.
* Changed allocation of despeckle buffer to avoid a segfault when using
a netcam where the image is wider than defined in motion.conf width.
* The noise tune value displayed in the upper left corner along with
number of changed pixels is no longer displayed (was there for debugging).
* Changed the SIGCHLD handler introduced in snap10 so that it is a shorter
and faster function. Disabled this handler in the xmlrpc thread as this
caused unnecessary loops of cpu cycles. Additionally made the code in
xmlrpc more correct and robust (handling of select()) (Kenneth Lavrsen)
* Fixed a bug in the timelapse feature. Both the rollover events of the
timelapse video and timelapse shots could be missed if the CPU load was
very high or the time was changes by ntp. Motion will now catch up a few
seconds later if this happens. Also fixed the code for monthly rollover.
(Kenneth Lavrsen)
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x01x23x133554
* Small improvement in timelapse feature so that an image is added when
the new mpeg is created and not waiting till the following timelapse
(Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Small improvement so that the rollover happens on the hour and not one
timelapse past the hour (Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Fixed a bug in noise tune which was most visible at very low light.
* Re-arranged many of the const char declarations so that they are always
before any statements within a block { }. This is to avoid compiler errors
with older but still used gcc versions such as 2.9.5.
* Changed the use of %zd to %llu in printf statements of size_t types.
This is done to avoid compiler errors with older but still used gcc versions
such as 2.95.
* Fixed even more gcc 2.95 compiler errors (declarations not at beginning
of block).
* Removed a gcc 2.95 compiler warning (netcam.c:1036: warning: variable `pic'
might be clobbered by `longjmp' or `vfork').
* The values for cnt->locate and cnt->new_img are now #defines in motion.h
to enhance code readability.
* The setting of sql_mask is now only done once per second to save CPU power.
* Adding checking for conflict between control port and webcam port. Webcam
port for a thread is disabled if it is set to the same value as the control
port.
* Added "motion-http:" prefix to error messages from the http control thread.
(Kenneth Lavrsen)
* Added additional error information when connection to MySQL fails.
* Initiate cnt->event_nr to 1 to avoid code related to end of events and long
mpeg films to be run during startup of Motion.
* Added new function in event.c close_anything_open() which is called from
send_sms, send_mail and exec_command in order to prevent file descriptor and
open sockets to be inherited by the shell causing freezing and instability.
Code contributed by Christophe Grenier, Christopher Price and Kenneth Lavrsen.
* Added new context global cnt_list.control_socket_server set by the httpd
thread so that the above mentioned close_anything_open() can close open
control sockets.
* Threw away the file descriptor leak fix from snap 9 because it caused
more trouble than it fixed. Removed the close_anything_open() and the
cnt_list.control_socket_server field. Replaced it all with a simple
piece of code that all server daemons call when started: setsid() followed
by for (i=getdtablesize(); i>2; --i) close(i). Dirty and simple.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x03x21x070534
* Fixed a bug where rate of fetching picture frames was disturned by
the signal SIG_CHLD from exec_command programs terminating. The symptom
was that the number of post_capture frames became inaccurate and motion
in mpegs did not have constant time between frames.
* Fixed a bug where motion did not work with gap=1.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x01x30x073616
* Added the feature gap=0 which now also works. It disables gap completely
so that one single mpeg file is created. You can end the event from the
remote control interface make movie feature using for example cron.
This makes Motion close the mpeg and make a new with event number increased
by one.
* Improved the http remote control action features so that makemovie
and snapshot for thread 0 (all) works on all threads instead of being
ignored.
* Moved some code in the beginning of the motion_loop to a position later
to improve the accuracy of time calculations for the framerate.
* Improvements of motion.conf help comments including improvements in new
onxxxx options.
* Motion Guide refactored completely for 3.2.1 with better web navigation and
auto generation of pages. Makefile updated so that the Motion TWiki topic
MotionGuideOneLargeDocument is fetched when updating the guide and making
releases.
* Removed the debug_parameter option which had no use. Programmers can still
use it because the code is only commented out. This change required a small
update in the code that rewrites motion.conf so that a remote control command
to write the config files still adds a text header for the thread section at
the end of motion.conf.
* Changed the default values for a few options: quiet on, webcam_maxrate 1,
threshold_tune off, webcam_quality 50.
* Changed some cosmetics in the way motion.conf is written (space after #).
* Updated the motion-dist.conf to use default values unless there is a reason
not to.
* Fixed a bug in the low_cpu feature where cpu load increased instead of
decreasing because the framerate calculations were completely wrong. This was
an old bug introduced in 3.0.1.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x04x24x205933
* Improved the auto-brightness algorithm. When auto-brightness is enabled
the brightness option becomes a target value for the brightness level.
This should also close a bug report.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x02x26x195358.
* Made the http control HTML responses nicer to look at as sources and
therefore easier to debug errors.
* Code style cleanup of webhttpd.c.
* Fixed compatibility problem with Palantir. Fixed by making output more
compatible with RFC (\r\n). Original fixes by Roberto Spadim and Angel
Carpintero. However this fix made Firefox flicker even more than it normally
does. Final fix which works in both Palantir client, Firefox and Cambozola
was made by Kenneth Lavrsen. This closes the following bugs:
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x05x02x205307,
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x05x07x042849
* Added new conversion specifiers: %D (diffs), (noise) %K (motion center x),
%L (motion center y), %i (locate width x) and %J (locate width y). These
changes also required a refactoring of the alg_locate code. This change
is part of the implementation of a generic tracking feature and it enables
implementing external programs that can perform simple prediction features.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ExtendReplaceConversionSpecifiersDiscussion
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/GenericTrackingPatch
* Fixed a bug in switchfilter which caused motion detection to not work
when the feature was enabled.
* Fix for Unknown content type with lumenera cameras
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x05x06x174416
* Man page updated. It is now semi-autogenerated in the Motion TWiki
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/MotionOptionsAlphabeticalManpage
* Added two new convertion specifiers: %o for threshold and %Q for number
of labels.
* Improved the config file description for pre_capture to get people to
use small values.
* 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.
* Changed the configure script so that /usr/lib64 is also searched for
the presence of ffmpeg (should fix the problem with 64 bit machines).
* Changed the configure script so that rpms can be made by normal non-root
users.
* Fixed a bug in the webhttpd code related to pan/tilt. Bug was introduced in
snap4 (Angel Carpintero, Kenneth Lavrsen).
* Changed all use of localtime to localtime_r which is threadsafe.
* Modified the WebcamCompressInMemory patch so that Motion now supports the
mjpeg webcam stream while being setup for saving PPM images.
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.
* Webcam code commented more.
* 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.
* 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)
* Fixed bug related to disabled webcam or duplicate webcam port. Error log
accept(): Socket operation on non-socket continuously written to syslog.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x08x01x150922
* Included a CODE_STANDARD text file to help new developers make patches
that are easier to integrate without too much manual editing.
* Changed the 5 second missed camera signal timeout to 30 seconds.
* Fixed bug where an extra jpeg is saved if you have output_normal=best
and you stop motion after an event has ended. (Kenneth Lavrsen).
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x08x05x173526
* Option switch filter used print_int instead of print_bool when motion.conf
was saved.
* 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.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ReduceWarningsPatch
* 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
* Removed old unused code related to read mode (not mmap) from V4L devices.
* 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.
* Last --with-developer-flags warnings eliminated simply by swapping the
order of the #include statements in the sources (Bill Brack and Kenneth Lavrsen).
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/EventConvertionSpecifierDiscussion
* Renamed some variables related to time to be better descriptive of function
and type.
* 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.
* Added new SQL field event_time_stamp of the type TIMESTAMP.
* RPM specs file changed as suggested for use in the Livna repository.
* 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.
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x10x05x212444
* Added help texts in conf.c and motion-dist.conf describing the %t
specifier. Added a good example of use in motion-dist.conf.
* 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.
* Removed the sql_user_text option that was added in snap 2
* 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.
* Change 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
* 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.
* Added a better error handling of a netcam that changes dimensions
