Welcome to 2016.
MESSAGE content has been moved to an installed README and improved.
Prepared in wip by dsainty@ with some help from gdt@.
Upstream NEWS
Onvif discovery is now enabled by default. This features increases
build time, but the benefit is auto-discovery of any Onvif compliant
camera. Please note that this feature is still experimental. It has
not been tested in a large environment or with a large variety of
cameras. Using this tool is largely self explanatory, but if you are
looking for documentation it can be found on the @altaroca ’s blog
site. As time allows, we will bring the documentation over to our
readthedocs site. Volunteers to do this work are welcome.
ZoneMinder now has a telemetry deamon which collects information about
your machine. This was done to learn how our user base uses
ZoneMinder, the most common system size, choice of distro, cpu,
memory, and a couple of other things. This will help us focus our
efforts on what features get used the most. Since this was written in
Perl, you can easily see for yourself what information is being
sent. Note that this feature defaults to ON. If this is not what you
want, then you can turn it off under Options. In a future release, we
plan to include an install wizard, which will prompt the user about
this feature.
Have you ever wished for the motion detection zones to be live, rather
than a static image? Well they are now! Creating or modifying zones
works exactly the same as before, but with the live stream running in
the background. If you need to freeze the stream, there is a Pause
button at the bottom of the window to do just that.
A new feature called Montage Review has been added. This can be
thought of as a modified version of the original montage feature with
features such as "scrubbing" through video. The Montage Review screen
has received sufficient testing to be part of the release, but you
should still treat this feature as experimental. We expect there to be
additional fixes and refinements.
