This release adds several bug fixes that have been tested successfully by customers in the unstable version. For the foreseeable future stables releases will be labeled 2.4.x and unstable versions will be labeled 2.5.x.

This release resolves a critical problem where the default storage path (/) used 95%, which meant once the storage path was full the system could stop functioning or cause random problems. By default the default percentage is 94%.
This release resolves an issue with analog cameras having long camera names. This also helps to resolve some problems where two ethernet cards are installed in the same computer and the ethernet cards switch between eth1 and eth0 randomly on startup, causing license problems. This release also resolves a problem where storage paths are using a Windows Share (SAMBA).
There is also support to triggering recording from an API call. Currently this API is very limited and you can only trigger a recording for a pre-set period of time. We will update this page with more information once we expand the API in future releases.
