Zoneminder v1.30.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-07-28 // almost 8 years ago
  • Important Changes!

    πŸš€ This release has additional Perl dependencies associated with Onvif discovery and the telemetry daemon. If you are installing from a package, the package maintainer should take care of this for you.

    πŸš€ As mentioned in the previous release notes, these features have been removed from the project:

    • πŸ— Autotools – Build using cmake instead
    • Mobile Skin – Use a mobile app, such as zmNinja
    • XML Skin – Use the new API instead

    • βœ… An issue with the latest libjpeg-turbo 1.5.0 was discovered and fixed
    • πŸ“š Update Ubuntu and Debian documentation
    • βž• Additional enhancements and fixes to zmonvif-probe
    • πŸ›  Zones were incorrectly reporting a size of 100% when they were smaller. This has been fixed.
    • πŸ›  Fixed an warning message from zmupdate.pl

    πŸ†• New Features

    πŸ“š Onvif discovery is now enabled by default. This features increases build time, but the benefit is auto-discovery of any Onvif compliant camera. Please note that this feature is still experimental. It has not been tested in a large environment or with a large variety of cameras. Using this tool is largely self explanatory, but if you are looking for documentation it can be found on the @altaroca ’s blog site. As time allows, we will bring the documentation over to our readthedocs site. Volunteers to do this work are welcome.

    ZoneMinder now has a telemetry deamon which collects information about your machine. This was done to learn how our user base uses ZoneMinder, the most common system size, choice of distro, cpu, memory, and a couple of other things. This will help us focus our efforts on what features get used the most. Since this was written in Perl, you can easily see for yourself what information is being sent. Note that this feature defaults to ON. If this is not what you want, then you can turn it off under Options. In a future release, we plan to include an install wizard, which will prompt the user about this feature.

    Have you ever wished for the motion detection zones to be live, rather than a static image? Well they are now! Creating or modifying zones works exactly the same as before, but with the live stream running in the background. If you need to freeze the stream, there is a Pause button at the bottom of the window to do just that.

    πŸš€ A new feature called Montage Review has been added. This can be thought of as a modified version of the original montage feature with features such as "scrubbing" through video. The Montage Review screen has received sufficient testing to be part of the release, but you should still treat this feature as experimental. We expect there to be additional fixes and refinements.

    How to Get the Source Code

    Due to the use of git submodules, we recommend you use git to clone the ZoneMinder repo to your local disk and then checkout release-1.30.0. However, we have also provided the file ZoneMinder-1.30.0.tar.gz for you below. It contains the source code and the required submodules. Do NOT click the links below labeled "Source code" as they do not contain the required git submodules and ZoneMinder will not build without them.
