Development Release

Changes since 3.2.1

snap1

snap2
  • Avoid Cleanup Segfault. Allocates filepath using strdup to avoid segfault is target_dir parameter is not supplied in motion.conf. Moves out from signal handler the cleanup for pipe and mpipe. (Angel Carpintero) http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/AvoidCleanupSegfault
  • Major code cleanup concerning signedness of chars all over the code to allow compilation with gcc4.0 (like in Fedora Core 4) without any errors or warnings. This will probably require that some of the not yet included patches will have to be fixed because it it code all over the place that has been changed. (Kenneth Lavrsen)

Next Steps

  • Still open todos on Netcam code. Keep on sending bug reports.
  • Fix open bugs.
  • Finish the tuner_number feature. Most code is there but is still not active.
  • Add the two new conversion specifiers to Motion Guide and man page.
  • Range checking of options - includes a complete redesign of how options are loaded and changed via remote control. This redesign is mainly making the code more robust and should be transparent to the user.

Known Problems

  • See the http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReports for open bugs.
  • The pwc-ioctl.h is for pwc version 9.0.1 and 10.0.6. If you still use the pwc 8 series then you need to use the headerfile pwc-ioctl.h-pwc8.0 (copy the pwc-ioctl.h-pwc8.0 over pwc-ioctl.h). This is relevant for USB cameras using Philips chips.
  • If you want to build your own rpm you have to be root. At least on Fedora Core 4.
