ChangeLog 5.0.0 (May 19th 2015)
- Goodbye Flash Video: .swf files have been replaced by .mp4 files which all modern browsers and smartphones can play
- Goodbye Html Frames: web interface improved for mobile devices
- Detection frames are now buffered also to HD and not only in RAM (this avoids splitting a detection sequence into many files)
- Configurable minimum disk free space (works now also for network shares and symlinks)
- In audio input dialog the correct entry is selected for devices having the same name
- Installer adds now the Start Menu entry only for the Current User
- Removed Fullscreen Browser as it cannot display HTML5 videos
- To avoid troubles in service mode from now on it's not possible to associate files to ContaCam (please use FreeVimager for that)
- Because of web server miss-configuration danger the possibility to move the individual camera folders in Camera Basic Settings dialog has been removed (advanced users can create junctions, symlinks or run a .bat script on detection to move/copy the video files to another location)
