== Next Upcoming Release ==
 +
* added support for a second (USB) sound device
 +
* added loopback audio device
 +
* fixed bug when trying to change camera IP address in system preferences with new Firefox4
 +
 +
== elphel353-8.0.9 - on SF ==
 +
Same tested 8.0.8.4 code with modifications for support of the 4K sector disks :
 +
* Added support of the  physical sector size detection to the ide driver
 +
* patched busybox fdisk  utility to correctly handle large sectors
 +
* patched busybox hdparm utility to output large sectors if invoked as "hdparm -I"
 +
''note:'' When updating existent (already built) tree from the CVS you may need to run "make clean;./configure_elphel" in apps/busybox-1.13.3 directory to apply those patches--[[User:Andrey.filippov|Andrey.filippov]] 17:40, 5 November 2010 (CDT)
 +
 +
== elphel353-8.0.8.48 - on SF ==
 +
* Multiple bug fixes related to 10359 board and Eyesis
 +
* added inter-camera frame number synchronization at startup (or with /usr/html/autocampars.php --init)
 +
* imgsrv (http://camera_ip:8081) can now return frame number (frame number being acquired from the sensor - same as THIS_FRAME parameter) or wait frame sync and then return frame number http://camera_ip:8081/frame and  http://camera_ip:8081/wframe. Frame number is incremented at the sensor frame sync, that happens after the end of exposure for the first line, so multiple synchronized cameras can increment the frame number at different time
 +
* start of the lighttpd web server is delayed until the sensor is initialized to a known state (otherwise premature start of the camvc web application could interfere with initialization process. imgsrv (see above) is still initialized, so it is possible to read frame number before the main web server started

 +
* improved 10359 code, should be more robust with sensor phase adjustment
 +
* made quantization tables depend on portrait/landscape orientation
 +
* Orientation Exif tag support
 +
* Use of EEPROM on sensor (10338 rev D) and multiplexor (10359A) boards - may be used to specify application type - this data is not erased during reflash process.
 +
* differnt autocampars defaults depending on application (currently for the cameras with 10359 board)
 +
* Exif "Model" tag may depend on camera application
 +
* Added variable coring - optional noise filtering before compression
 +
* and some bug fixes (and possible new bugs), of course --[[User:Andrey.filippov|Andrey.filippov]] 15:32, 12 August 2010 (CDT)

'''This is an experimental release - more updates coming '''
 +
 +
This is an intermediary release, most changes are related to multi-sensor operation and increase of the image size. But there are still some bug fixes and improvements that are applicable to regular model 353 cameras
 +
 +
* Fixed quantization tables caching, up to 8 different compression quality values can be changed dynamically without CPU overhead. Before this bug fix each output frame required calculation of the quantization table for the frame header. Changing compression quality caused generation of 3 wrong frames that looked over-saturated when increasing quality and washed out - when decreasing it. Now there are no such frames, compression quality matches the frame headers and changes occur at exactly frame boundaries.
 +
* Variable delay for the output trigger signal when camera is using internal trigger generator. This delayed output pulse can be used to trigger external flash.
 +
* Master time stamps with the inter-camera synchronization. Now it is possible to attach master camera timestamp to the synchronization pulse transmitted over the inter-camera synchronization cable. When this mode is activated, all the synchronized cameras will receive the timestamp of the master camera and this timestamp will be attached to the image frames instead of the local ones. So when multiple cameras are recording video/images it is easy to match them in post-production as they have exactly the same timestamp.
 +
 +
== elphel353-8.0.8.7 - on SF ==
 +
* add a more advanced webcam demo script with histogram overlay, etc
 +
* 10359: added more test registers (32 bit each)
 +
* 10359: new sequence logic
 +
* 10359: updated testbench  --[[User:Oleg|Oleg]]

'''NOTE: this is an experimental release, not tested enough. There definitely could be some issues, please use it only if you need to test any of the features mentioned below.'''
 +
* increased maximal dimensions of the images to 8192(horizontal) by 16384 (vertical)--[[User:Andrey.filippov|Andrey.filippov]] 16:46, 30 April 2010 (CDT)
 +
* restored line-scan ("photofinish") mode, where a single image can combine up to 8192 line pairs. These images can be acquired at the rate of 2500 lp/sec with the full 2592 pixel length. Same mode can be used to combine vertically multiple small images acquired at high frame rate, it improves high speed acquisition by reducing CPU load per each acquired frame.--[[User:Andrey.filippov|Andrey.filippov]] 16:46, 30 April 2010 (CDT)

Release numbering

The Elphel software is released in several forms:

  1. - Live DVD including firmware released at the time LiveDVD was created and software to update the camera firmware to the later release using downloaded firmware image.
  2. - Source tarball on SourceForge
  3. - Binary images + installation scripts
  4. - Source code in CVS.

The software releases on SourceForge (source tarballs, binary images) have 3 dot-separated release numbers, like elphel353-7.1.5.tar.gz for the source code or image353-2.10-7.1.5.tar.gz for binary images to be copied to the camera flash memory

The most recent (and definitely "unstable") software is available on CVS at Sourceforge. The software available only from the CVS has 4 dot-separated numbers, the thirst three matching the last version released as a tarball distribution on SourceForge.

elphel353-8.0.9 - on SF

Same tested 8.0.8.4 code with modifications for support of the 4K sector disks :

  • Added support of the physical sector size detection to the ide driver
  • patched busybox fdisk utility to correctly handle large sectors
  • patched busybox hdparm utility to output large sectors if invoked as "hdparm -I"

note: When updating existent (already built) tree from the CVS you may need to run "make clean;./configure_elphel" in apps/busybox-1.13.3 directory to apply those patches--Andrey.filippov 17:40, 5 November 2010 (CDT)

elphel353-8.0.8.48 - on SF

  • Multiple bug fixes related to 10359 board and Eyesis
  • added inter-camera frame number synchronization at startup (or with /usr/html/autocampars.php --init)
  • imgsrv (http://camera_ip:8081) can now return frame number (frame number being acquired from the sensor - same as THIS_FRAME parameter) or wait frame sync and then return frame number http://camera_ip:8081/frame and http://camera_ip:8081/wframe. Frame number is incremented at the sensor frame sync, that happens after the end of exposure for the first line, so multiple synchronized cameras can increment the frame number at different time
  • start of the lighttpd web server is delayed until the sensor is initialized to a known state (otherwise premature start of the camvc web application could interfere with initialization process. imgsrv (see above) is still initialized, so it is possible to read frame number before the main web server started

--Andrey.filippov 01:26, 19 August 2010 (CDT)

elphel353-8.0.8.41 - on SF

Multiple changes, most related to Eyesis development

  • improved 10359 code, should be more robust with sensor phase adjustment
  • made quantization tables depend on portrait/landscape orientation
  • Orientation Exif tag support
  • Use of EEPROM on sensor (10338 rev D) and multiplexor (10359A) boards - may be used to specify application type - this data is not erased during reflash process.
  • differnt autocampars defaults depending on application (currently for the cameras with 10359 board)
  • Exif "Model" tag may depend on camera application
  • Added variable coring - optional noise filtering before compression
  • and some bug fixes (and possible new bugs), of course --Andrey.filippov 15:32, 12 August 2010 (CDT)

elphel353-8.0.8.40 - was on SF

Broken release, please remove it if you downloaded it during half-day it was posted @ SourceForge

elphel353-8.0.8.25 - on SF

This is an experimental release - more updates coming

This is an intermediary release, most changes are related to multi-sensor operation and increase of the image size. But there are still some bug fixes and improvements that are applicable to regular model 353 cameras

  • Fixed quantization tables caching, up to 8 different compression quality values can be changed dynamically without CPU overhead. Before this bug fix each output frame required calculation of the quantization table for the frame header. Changing compression quality caused generation of 3 wrong frames that looked over-saturated when increasing quality and washed out - when decreasing it. Now there are no such frames, compression quality matches the frame headers and changes occur at exactly frame boundaries.
  • Variable delay for the output trigger signal when camera is using internal trigger generator. This delayed output pulse can be used to trigger external flash.
  • Master time stamps with the inter-camera synchronization. Now it is possible to attach master camera timestamp to the synchronization pulse transmitted over the inter-camera synchronization cable. When this mode is activated, all the synchronized cameras will receive the timestamp of the master camera and this timestamp will be attached to the image frames instead of the local ones. So when multiple cameras are recording video/images it is easy to match them in post-production as they have exactly the same timestamp.

elphel353-8.0.8.7 - on SF

  • add a more advanced webcam demo script with histogram overlay, etc
  • 10359: added more test registers (32 bit each)

elphel353-8.0.8.7

NOTE: this is an experimental release, not tested enough. There definitely could be some issues, please use it only if you need to test any of the features mentioned below.

  • increased maximal dimensions of the images to 8192(horizontal) by 16384 (vertical)--Andrey.filippov 16:46, 30 April 2010 (CDT)
  • restored line-scan ("photofinish") mode, where a single image can combine up to 8192 line pairs. These images can be acquired at the rate of 2500 lp/sec with the full 2592 pixel length. Same mode can be used to combine vertically multiple small images acquired at high frame rate, it improves high speed acquisition by reducing CPU load per each acquired frame.--Andrey.filippov 16:46, 30 April 2010 (CDT)
