+----------------------------------+Notable Changes:
- Automatic ADC calibration during black calibration, which should reduce column banding across a wider temperature range.
- Add a storage tab to the util menu to view, eject and format the attached storage devices.
- Speed boost at most resolutions, with a top speed of 1069fps at 1280x1024, and 40420fps at 320x96.
- Configurable automated power-on and off depending on the AC adaptor status.
- Option to disable the ring buffer when in segmented recording mode.
Minutae:
- Factory black calibration is now user accessible from the Factory tab of the util window.
- The software update button has been moved to the storage tab of the util window.
- Shipping mode to disable power-on by battery until an AC adaptor is attached.
- Add a watchdog to reboot the camera in case of a power-on boot failure.
- Display descriptive error strings instead of number on failure.
- End of recording from lack of free space generates a warning dialog.
- Revert to a valid resolution when focus is lost while editing the H/V resolution widgets.
Fixed Bugs:
- Gated burst record mode may lock up after several trigger edges.
- Gated burst record mode unreliable when trigger debounce is enabled
- Memory leak in the M3 video coprocessors which could lead to a crash after lots of H.264 encoding.
- Ignore video which was recorded during zero-time black calibration (which happens after changing resolution).
- Stuttering issue on the playback window on new production LCD modules.
- Fixed deadlock in camera when restoring user settings from external media.
- Corrupted overlay text at narrow resolutions.
- Video stream would remain in playback when starting recording via auto-record.
- Opening and closing the white balance menu can lead to an unexpected change of the custom preset.
- Bug in calculating the trigger delay on boot (segmented mode only).
- Ensure a minimum of 0.25 bits/pixel when encoding h.264 video.
- Crash can occur when saving extremely short videos.
- After rebooting a camera, focus aid and zebras are sometimes not restored even if they were enabled before the reboot.
- Restore white balance correctly after reboot
Fixed since V0.3.2-RC2:
- monochrome cameras being detected as color
- zombie process when restarting app after reverting settings to defaults.
- Util window - Auto Power Mode was always shown as Disabled after reentering the Util window, even if it is set to something else
Fixed since V0.3.2-beta-6:
- Changes to focus aid or exposure aid (zebra stripes) would have no effect until resolution is changed.
- Changes to exposure may be overwritten during black calibration.
- Bad image quality at 336x120 resolution
- Util window, storage tab - bottom of text cut off if device has multiple partitions
- Factory black cal (black cal all resolutions) would get overridden by old user black cal, if a user had done their own black cal, even before.
- Fix frame stuttering when focus peaking is enabled.
Known Bugs:
- The second frame of videos saved in all formats is not from the correct location in the selected region.
- The first frame of videos saved in formats other than H.264 format is corrupted.
- Very rare crashes of the video system, causing the camera to lock up on the playback/save window; MTBF seems to be somewhere in the 2-5k recordings at present.
- Gated Burst record mode only: Live display does not appear to be buffered correctly when the trigger signal is inactive.
- Speckles in image when recording below 60fps
- Black cal makes the image look very dark at low framerates when recording below about 45fps
- Saved videos will have a date modified of 7 or 8 hours earlier than what is set on the clock in the Util menu.
