Motion Snapshot Release 3.2.4 snap1

Release Notes

• 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 unuseded 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 unsinged 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 sefgault ( future fix ).
  • Cosmetics changes in configure.in.freebsd ( replace --without-v4l by without-bktr ).
  • Cleanup code and fix warnings.

Next Steps

• New features round saving config files.
• Event conversion specifier %C
• Better Tracking Feature

Known Problems

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