ChangeLog 4.9.5 (March 24th 2014)
- This is a stable release
- Support Foscam, Tenvis and Clones mjpeg cameras in network dialog
- Credentials are now typed into the 'Connect To' network dialog making it possible to edit them later on
- Avoid leading and trailing whitespaces in directx device names
- Fixed 'Out of memory' error message when joining a huge amount of avi files (more than 100)
- Verify HTTP/1.1 keep-alive support because some ip cams do not follow the specifications
- Possibility to configure an autostart delay between network devices. Useful for wireless networks which tend to congest if all IP cams start at the same time (thanks to Sanford Gossman for the idea and for testing it)
- Increased network timeouts
- Made mjpeg video decoder more fault tolerant
- Fixed service installation failure when using a Windows 8 Microsoft Account (thanks to Paolo Seveso for reporting that)
