Release Note - Motion 3.1.17

3.1.17 Bugfix release

• Removed annoying debug syslog message (input: #)
• Implemented Peter Ilin's patch for handling vloopback pipes better when Motion receives SIGTERM or SIGHUB.
• Implemented fix for compiling errors when building the FreeBSD version without bktr support. (http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/FreeBSDFixCompile)
• Commented out many unnecessary syslog debug only messages. The commented out code was first patched by Mike Lees patch related to syslog causing instability and hanging motion processes. (http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/SyslogEventPatch).
• Included Kalle Andersson's 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. (http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/DaemonDetachFromSTDIO)

• 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

• Swapped width and height parameters in some functions. This has no influence on program execution. Just a cosmetic change.
