• JAVA/JPEG remote viewing now works with the JVM 1.4 or newer, and specifically has
been tested and is working with the Safari browser on the Mac.
• In addition to JPEG video overlays, you may now use GIF, PNG and BMP file types.
• Startup and Shutdown files are now correctly copied to the destination folder when you
use the "post files to a folder" option on the camera's post page
(See 7.7).
• When using the Trim (See 10.) function, the new default filename retains the original
filename (with an appended counter) as well as the file system's "date modified" and
attributes values.
• Support for the Edimax IC-1500 network camera.
• Bug fix: editing the motion sensor mask when running as a service
• New clips saved within sub-folders now also appear on the remote file view
• The Web Server (See 8.) now distinguishes between LAN connections and Internet
connections. When a user on the LAN connects to the server, the Blue Iris LAN address
is used on web pages instead of the external IP or hostname. This fixes an issue where
PCs on the LAN are incapable of properly resolving your router's external IP address.
• After two unsuccessful network camera timeout/restarts, a full camera object reset is
attempted.
• Support for the Gadspot GS200 added.
• A watchdog timer has been added to the Blue Iris Service application. If the main
application closes unexpectedly for any reason other than a service-stop request, it will
be automatically restarted.
• AVI or WMV videos open for writing (locked) will no longer appear in the list of clips
during remote viewing since they cannot be opened for viewing.
• You may choose to keep a text file log of all messages written to your Stats Window (See
9.) by checking a box on that window. In addition, all remote-view camera connections
are now written to the stats window, so if you are logging messages to your hard drive,
you may now keep a permanent record of these connections as well.
• The PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) properties page (See 7.9) now allows you to select "DirectShow
camera control" as a protocol. You are now able to control the mechanical Pan and Tilt
on USB cameras such as the Logitech Orbit.
• A new Macros option page (See 11.) allows you to set text that will be substituted for
%1, %2, ... %9 in text overlays. There are several ways that external applications can
change these macro values dynamically: (1) write to the registry values directly, (2) use
DDE to poke the value to the server "BlueIris" with topic "macro" with item "1" through
"9", or (3) set the macro to a text file path that is externally updated.

• For email alerts, you may now specify the body text, which may include hyperlinks.
