New in ZoneMinder 1.24.4 (May 30, 2011)
- FEATURE - Changed all system components to use JSON syntax for serialization. This removes the dependency on the rarely supported PHP::Serialization perl module. Basic JSON encoding and decoding functionality is included where support packages are not installed. Please note that it is critical that you run zmupdate.pl in order to convert your saved filters.
- FEATURE - The zmupdate.pl now automatically determines the version to upgrade from where possible. This removes the necessity to supply the -v parameter in most cases.
- FEATURE - The classic view console and zmpkg.pl scripts now both detect and report when code and database versions do not match. The system will not start if this is the case and the version number in the console will be highlighted red.
- FEATURE - Temporary directories are recreated on startup if necessary.
- FIX - Fixed issue where someconfiguration was given blank values causing various bogus config messages and javascript errors in the web interface.
- FIX - Protect system temporary and log directories from change of ownership on install and deletion attempts on uninstall.
- FIX - Manage memory connection handles to avoid exhaustion. Thanks for forum user mastertheknife for tracking this one down.
- TRIVIAL - Further information has been added to the WEB_x_SCALE_THUMBS config options to indicate that the appropriate PHP graphics package needs to be installed for this functionality to work.
