  15. Server configuration: panic activation is now a global permission. A user who only has this global permission granted, will not be able to open the server configuration. #11392
  16. Server configuration: the region dimensions of an HMI camera can now be set using editable controls. #11586
  17. Server: when changing the storage location of a camera, the old directory (if available) will be moved towards the new location. This way, old footage remains available in the new configuration and no manual deletion of the old storage location is required. #11797
  18. Encoder: the amount of error logging has been reduced. #11647

Bug fixes (B)

  1. Manager: the 'Tab' and 'Alt' buttons of an AXIS keypad work again as intended. #11768

  3. Manager: the button 'Force live view' was only applied to the selected players. #11148
  4. Manager: panning would not work anymore in ibaCapture Manager. #12076
  5. Manager: when using floating points in combination with the relative storage unit '%', these will be truncated to integers in the server. To allow backwards compatibility, the input in ibaCapture Manager is restricted to integers when using the relative unit. #12077
  6. Player: some bugs related to the player synchronization have been fixed. #11422 #11423 #11424
  7. Player: removal of a player could result in a crash. #11718
  8. Player: in some cases the displayed video would randomly stretch. #11771
  9. Player: exporting mpeg-4 encoded streams would result in unplayable files. #11990
  10. Player: resizing a player while paused could lead to a black display. #12072
  11. Server: in some cases trying to export videos would fail due to not having the right permissions while user management was disabled. #11706
  12. Server: changing the file size could result in an incorrect storage initialization. #11874
  13. Server: exceptions would be logged when starting a live stream while the server is shutting down. #11870
  14. Server: ONVIF sources could receive streams from cameras other than the configured one due to older incorrectly closed sessions. #12098
  15. Server: applying configurations to two or more HMI instances with the same name on different hosts would result in errors for all but one instance. #12109
  16. Installer: during the installation of ibaCapture on 64-bit systems, the first logging was always written to the install history in the wrong directory. #11701
  17. Installer: in some cases the option to manually reboot later on would have no effect. #12106
  18. Several localization bugs are fixed. #10952 #10953 #10954 #11004 #11005 #11006 #11007 #11008 #11009

  3. Manager: warnings will be shown if the 'Stop service'- or 'Stop capture'-buttons are clicked in the server configuration. #11612
  4. Manager: the settings of HMI cameras can be changed immediately. In previous versions the discovery had to finish first. #11646
  5. Installer: to assure other applications are made aware of the new installation of ibaCapture, the user will be asked to reboot to complete the installation. #11366
  6. Player: reduced the amount of logging for the players if a login is required. #11649

Bug fixes (B)

  1. Camera view: joystick configuration settings (sensitivity, threshold, etc.) weren't applied. #11582
  2. Camera view: an ibaCapture Server could apply multiple configurations to one ibaCapture-ScreenCam instance at the same time. #11602

  4. Player: a false detection of a lost device would repeat forever. #11578
  5. Installer: copying the remaining data files when upgrading from v3 to v4 would still fail on 32-bit systems. #11083
  6. Installer: ibaVision and ibaCapture Encoder would be restarted after installation of ibaCapture, even if they were not killed by the installer. In addition to that, they wouldn't show up in the list of blocking processes. #11428
  7. Installer: on 64-bit systems the installer would try to copy the DirectX DLL to the wrong system directory. As a result of this ibaCapture Manager would crash. (Bug introduced in v4.1.1) #11672
  8. Manager: when switching the capture settings of HMI cameras to 'Monitor', it was possible to choose the invalid monitor ID '0'. #11507
  9. Manager: when selecting a region for HMI cameras, an extra pixel would be added to the width and height of the selected region. #11506

  11. Manager: server configuration could not be opened if the ibaCapture Server reported an error. #11612
    Note that this is still the case if the ibaCapture service is stopped!
  12. Manager: inherited permissions would not be checked when opening a server configuration. #11629
  13. Manager: the MAC address would be changed to the first discovered camera when opening the settings of a GigE camera. #11643

  4. Camera view: a warning will now be shown when removing one or multiple cameras using the [DEL] button, the 'Remove'-option in the context menu or the 'Remove selected cameras'-button in the ribbon. The user can also choose to disable this warning. Re-enabling the warning can be done via the properties control. #10587
  5. Camera view: a warning is shown if a user is not allowed to use PTZ control. In this case, the crosshair won't be shown either. #10961
  6. Installer: in case the dongle has an invalid EUP end date, a warning is shown upon installation of ibaCapture. #10256
  7. Installer: the installation of ibaDongleViewer can be disabled during a silent installation of ibaCapture with the command line switch '/nodongleviewer'. #11281
  8. Opening Matrox Intellicam requires ibaEncoder to be stopped. In some cases, trying to stop ibaEncoder results in an exception. Additional information has been added to the exception in which the user is asked to try to manually stop ibaEncoder and retry opening Matrox Intellicam. #10661

Bug fixes (B)

  1. Camera view: disposing the camera view could lead to uncaught exceptions. #11047
  2. Camera view: after exporting a video, the involved players kept showing "No connection to server". #10963

  6. Server configuration: the 'Open Matrox Intellicam'- and 'Open Matrox Capture Assistant'-buttons were missing in the settings control of GigE Vision cameras. #11267
  7. Server configuration: a duplicate 'Apply configuration'-button was shown in the ribbon page for GigE Vision. #11267
  8. Server configuration: an unused 'Pixel Conversion'-control was shown in the settings control of GigE Vision cameras. #11396
  9. Encoder: meaningless text was shown in the 'GigE'-tab. #11425
  10. ibaCapture install could possibly fail without warning on Windows 7 SP1 X64 systems. #11208
  11. When upgrading ibaCapture from v3 to v4 the remaining data files (e.g., logs, dumps, configurations) were not copied to the new directory. #11083
  12. The 32-bit ibaCapture Manager remained installed when upgrading to a 64-bit Manager.

  6. Manager: The display of the license info has been changed to reflect the current configuration you are editing instead of the configuration running on the server.
  7. Manager: Confirmation is asked before applying the storage configuration to all cameras. #10593

Bug fixes (B)

  1. Camera view: The form used to protect/lock video updated the incorrect nodes when not all servers were selected.
  2. Camera view: Disabled cameras caused a jump to 1/1/1970 when pausing the video.
  3. Camera view: Rearranging cameras caused a painting bug in the time line when it was docked and collapsed. #10810

  6. Video from Bosch cameras would behave as keyframes only video when jumping to a timestamp or playing backwards. #10812
  7. Negative throughput values could be shown for the video connections in the ibaCapture manager. #10464
  8. The calculation of the ibaPDA synchronization period could lead to very small values that caused high network traffic between ibaCapture and ibaPDA. #10831
