Zoneminder v1.30.3 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-05-02 // about 7 years ago

  • 🚀 One More bug Fix Release

    🚀 The ZoneMinder team is proud to release one more bug release before we move on to bigger things.

    There are not as many changes this go around, but here is a summary of the most significant:

    • The cake php cache engine has been changed from flat files to php apc. No more API failures due to missing folders.
    • 🔒 A previous security vulnerability fix introduced a bug restarting zma/zmc. This has been fixed.
    • Fixed a long standing issue where the timestamp would disappear when TIMESTAMP_ON_CAPTURE was disabled.
    • 🛠 Historically, zms has never supported extended ascii characters in camera passwords. This has been fixed.

    Cake PHP API Note

    🚀 The previous 1.30.2 release disabled cake php debug mode due to a potential security vulnerability. Be advised that, because cake debug mode is off, the cake debug web page, typically navigated to with a /zm/api suffix, is also turned off. The API itself will continue to function normally.

    📦 Important Note to Package Maintainers

    📦 Switching to the php apc cache engine adds a new package dependency on the php-apc or php-apcu package. The exact name of the package varies per distro. The API will not function without this package installed and the web server restarted.

    🏗 Nightly Builds

    🚀 We have recently enabled a nightly build system, which is cranking out rpm & deb packages almost as fast as we make changes to the source code. If you have an interest in testing a recent build of the master branch then this is for you. This will allow you to test bleeding edge software changes w/o having to first be an expert in building rpm or deb packages. Nightly build rpm packages are currently available at zmrepo.zoneminder.com. As soon as I learn where Isaac is hosting the deb packages, I will update these release notes.

    Thank You to Those who have Contributed

    📚 We continue to thank those that have contributed to the ZoneMinder project. We are always in need of volunteers, not just to write code, but to help manage the user forum, manage wiki content, write documentation, test the latest master branch, etc. There is always far more work to do than people available to do the work.
