Version 4.2.0 - 2017-12-13
Required EUP date - 2017-12-13

New features (N)

1. An ibaCapture Server Status application will show the current state of the ibaCapture Service. Through this application the service can be started, stopped or restarted. As a result of this, the functionality related to the service has been stripped from the ibaCapture Manager. #10964
2. PTP support has been added. This can be configured via the time synchronization node in server configuration mode. #7487
3. ibaCapture is an SNMP server: #8716
   1. SNMP protocol V1, V2c and V3 are supported.
   2. MIB files can be generated.

   3. Negative priorities are accepted.
5. Expiration dates of extended update periods are checked: #10256
   1. The installer will check if ibaCapture's build date lies before the end of the extended update period. If this is not the case and a grace period is available, the user has the option to activate the grace period and use the software for a limited period. If there is no grace period available or in case it expires, ibaCapture will be disabled.
   2. Warnings are shown in ibaCapture Manager if a server license approaches an expiration date.
   3. The expiration date of the extended update period as well as the remaining days of the grace period are displayed in ibaCapture Manager.
6. Manager: buttons for increasing and decreasing the replay speed have been added to the ribbon. #11148
7. Manager: buttons for hopping to the next or previous event on a timeline have been added to the ribbon. An event is defined as one of the following occurrences: #11148

Improvements (I)

1. ibaCapture Server has been upgraded to a 64-bit process. This results in a reduced risk of virtual address space fragmentation. A 32-bit ibaCapture Server will be still available for 32-bit systems. #11635
2. Manager: rearrangement of the ribbon layout. #11148
3. Manager: setting the replay speed to 0 is disabled. #11148

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
2. Manager: several controls showed a context menu on a right-click, which allowed them to be modified. #11881

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

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

    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

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
4. Camera view: Changing the replay speed via the arrow keys could result in a stackoverflow in ibaPDA.
5. Camera view: Using PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys to jump in time when the replay speed was not zero resulted in very large replay speeds.
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
