0.4.1

Breaking changes !!!

• There is a new baseline 0.4.1, so you need to prepare your SD card for it - follow #267 and this guidance #248
• The camera web page is no longer under port 8080 but back to default port 80 - access your camera web page using its IP only. Those with proxy environments or Home Assistant integrations must amend their settings.
• The new baseline is needed to fix OTA upgrade #326 - cameras on earlier versions cannot upgrade from the WebUi as there is an additional baseline check - it refers to 0.4.1 for the latest release - 23a96a5 - copy the release file onto your SD card and change its name as per the guidance in #248
• Future non-baseline upgrades will not require a FAT32 SD card preparation

• wpa_supplicant upgrade to v2.10 - this was an attempt to prevent boot loop issues experienced with certain Wi-Fi configurations (e.g., multiple APs with the same SSID) or any modern Wi-Fi networks - for example, a mixed mode WPA/WPA2 is subject to be removed in the future wpa_supplicant releases
• Initial support for WPA3-Personal - Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE)
• Support to encrypt your Wi-Fi password with wpa_passphrase
• Fixing cloudAPI workflow for CN-based cameras

• The Busybox was upgraded to 1.36.1 and its size was reduced to address #312

• Fixed Curl SSL crypto library
• Fixed symlink to VI #346
• Fixed the MQTT issue #333
• Fixed no watermark in streams #336 - thanks @Minims
• Amended config reading - seems to work quicker - thanks @Minims
• Added file versioning - so that we can track changes without upgrading the baseline
• Improve MQTT by @Minims in #349 - please test if working as intended
• Fixed WiFi scan page
• Improved the wpa_supplicant upgrade logic
• Reduced busybox_tools size on the SD

What is still not working [Update 27 September 2024]

• Pure WPA3 networks - recommending WiFi's with WPA2 - if you know that your camera worked with WPA3, please let me know in the release discussion so we can investigate further. I managed to run on a mixed WPA2/WPA3, and it may not be the case for others.
• Some MQTT and HA-related settings - e.g., IR seems not to be responding - need to be reviewed as mentioned by @roleoroleo in #349 (comment)
• People with WiFi issues, please refer to #398

New Contributors

• @Minims made their first contribution in #327
• @fidesachates made their first contribution in #328

@roleoroleo made so many contributions - thanks for the additional effort

0.4.1j - Release Candidate

Breaking changes !!!

• This is a release candidate as the major issues are fixed
• There is a new baseline 0.4.1j, so you need to prepare your SD card for it - follow #267 and this guidance #248
• The camera web page is no longer under port 8080 but back to default port 80 - access your camera web page using its IP only. Those with proxy environments or Home Assistant integrations must amend their settings.
• The new baseline is needed to fix OTA upgrade #326 - cameras on earlier versions cannot upgrade from the WebUi as there is an additional baseline check - it refers to 0.4.1 for the latest release - 23a96a5 - amend the file on your SD with your baseline version to bypass this check and upgrade via WebUI or copy the file over and change its name as per the guidance in #248
• Future non-baseline upgrades will be released without SD formatted to the FAT32 requirement.
• We need testers, so if you have no physical access to your camera - don't upgrade, as it may require fixing by downgrading etc.
