Whats New Whats New
========= =========
Release 0.9.8 - Several new features and bug-fixes
Upgrade note - If you have installed 0.9.7 and wish to save
your configuration then copy your existing zmconfig.txt file
over to your 0.9.8 directory and before running zmconfig.pl.
Added multiple options to zmu - You can now give multiple options
to zmu and get all the responses at once. However this is currently
in a deterministic order and not related to the order you give them.
Added -v/--verbose option to zmu - Zmu has been made more human
friendly though it still remains primarily for daemon use. Giving
the -v or --verbose option prints out a bit more as a response to
each command.
Add -d/--device to zmu - This option is designed to allow you to
get your video device working with another application such as
xawtv and then use zmu -d to print out the settings its using
(especially with the -v option). These options can then be used
as a starting point for your ZoneMinder configuration.
Added FPS in status field - The status field in the web monitor
views now contains an FPS setting as well as the status.
Zmconfig changes - zmconfig handles missing options better and
rewrites config file even in non-interactive mode.
Fixed config problems in zmcfg.h - Some config was not being
set up correctly in zmcfg.h.
Zmwatch now works on image delay and not fps - Previously the
zmwatch daemon detected capture daemon failure by trying to use
the FPS setting. This was imprecise and prone to false readings.
It now uses the time delay since the last captured image.
Added zmpkg.pl and zm scripts - There are now two new scripts.
zmpkg.pl is in charge of starting and stopping ZoneMinder as a
whole package and zm is designed to be (optionally) installed
into your init.d directory to use ZoneMinder as a service.
Fixed bug in Scan mode - The monitor cycle or scan mode had
stopped working properly due to images not being generated.
This is now fixed.
Revamped the console window slightly - The console window has
now been reformatted slightly to give more and better
information including server load.
Added email and messaging to filters - Filters now allow you
to send emails or messages (basically just short emails
intended for mobile devices) on alarms. The format and possible
content for these emails is in zmconfig_eml.txt and
zmconfig_msg.txt.
Made zmdc more aggresive in killing old processes - The zmdc.pl
daeamon will now kill any ZM processes it finds on startup or
shutdown to prevent orphans from being left around.
Configuration changes - Previously there were a lot of files
generated by configure. Now only zmconfig.pl is generated this
way and all the other configuration files are created by
zmconfig.pl (from .z files) to centralise configuration more.
Fixed cambolzola opt bug - There was a bug in the Cambozola
options, I can't remember what it was but it's fixed!
Retaint arguments in zmdc.pl - In some installations zmdc
was complaining about tainted arguments from the socket. These
are now detainted prior to sending and after receiving.
Release 0.9.7 - Yes, a big jump in release number but a lot of changes too. Now Release 0.9.7 - Yes, a big jump in release number but a lot of changes too. Now
somewhat more mature, not really an alpha any more, and a lot of bugs fixed too. somewhat more mature, not really an alpha any more, and a lot of bugs fixed too.
