                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Creating a System.Drawing.Bitmap object from a RGB888Packed request buffer did        (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                          result in a corrupt bitmap if the source image width was divisible by 4.
                          (Linux only)

                          (Bug introduced in version 2.41.0)
                        - Failing to rename or re-create existing log files could result in a crash.            (all shipped packages)
                          This could happen e.g. on Linux when 'root' did create a set of log-files and then
                          later a standard user tried to override them with a new mvIMPACT Acquire process.
                        - wxPropView could crash when 'Synchronous Method Execution' was switched off.          (wxPropView)

                         (Bug introduced in version 2.36.0)
                        - The environment variable MVIMPACT_ACQUIRE_DATA_DIR was not correctly evaluated on     (all shipped packages)
                          Windows. As a consequence it e.g. was not possible to configure the log-output based
                          on that variable.
                        - Without elevated rights DirectShow related information was not available. Now there   (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          is a hint on how to get this information. The menu item to change the DirectShow
                          friendly name is only enabled, if the application is running with elevated rights
                          and the device is already registered as DirectShow device.
                        - When a mvBlueFOX3 booted with bootprogrammer firmware version 0.33.1693.2, the        (all shipped packages)
                          device could not be initialized to update the firmware, if device specific settings
                          were present on the host system.

                        UPDATES:
                        - When running 'mvDeviceConfigure' with the 'hidden' parameter no more progress dialogs (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          will pop up.
                        - Calling acquisitionStop() for GEV devices took up to 50ms on Linux.                   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - When an error in the LSFR pattern was detected during the first iteration of the GEV  (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          packet size auto-negotiation when 'AutoNegotiatePacketSizeMode' was set to
                          'HighToLow' (the default) the algorithm did terminate and 576 was used as the packet
                          size potentially resulting in poor performance.
                        - GEV multicast reception of streaming data did not work on Linux systems.              (mvGenTLProducer.cti)

                          though the device did start streaming data nothing was received by the driver.
                        - Clicking on the 'Enable AWB' checkbox of the AOI wizard could result in a crash.      (wxPropView)

09.11.2020  2.40.2
                        UPDATES:
                        - Only the first call to 'DMR_InitVideoStreamAPI' will result in an actual load         (mvDeviceManager-lib)
                          attempt to the FFmpeg libraries. Previous releases did result in a failure message
                          when the libraries could not be found on every function call.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - When running an mvIMPACT Acquire application as root and then later trying to run     (all shipped packages for Unix/Linux systems)
                          another mvIMPACT Acquire application as a non-root user the application did not start
                          until the file /dev/shm/sem.4ED0DA5F-C112-49a2-A313-E80B9F259830 has been removed
                          from the system.

                          processing algorithms. Displaying image in wxPropView will also make use of OpenMP
                          now. See 'Known Issues -> Linux' for additional details and how this might affect
                          your application.
                        - The 'FirmwareUpgrade' console application is capable of updating the firmware of      (all shipped packages for Unix/Linux systems)

                        - 'CaptureToOpenGLMemory' example added to the documentation of the C++ API. This       (mvIMPACT_Acquire_API_CPP_manual)
                          can serve as a starting point for displaying images using OpenGL.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - On ARM platforms only 1000 images could be captured from MATRIX VISION GEV devices    (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices, Linux/ARM)
                          until an annoying overlay was displayed.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.40.0)
                        - On Windows platform the gray values of pixels did not match the exact position in the (wxPropView)
                          image due to unprecise scaling in case of high zoom levels.

15.10.2020  2.40.0
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - The .NET Standard 2.0 build of the mvIMPACT Acquire .NET runtime has been added to    (all shipped packages for Unix/Linux systems)
                          all Linux installers. This runtime will allow to write .NET Core applications with
                          mvIMPACT Acquire. See .NET API manual for details.
                        - Added the ability to store image metadata beside the image in a *.xml file. This      (wxPropView)
                          feature is available for 'Snapshot' and 'Hard Disk' mode.
                        - Added 'CorrectionModeReverseX' and 'CorrectionModeReverseY' properties to flat field  (all shipped packages)
                          filter.
                        - New example added to all packages: 'TimestampFeatures'.                               (all shipped packages)
                        - Added updated versions of the GEV filter driver that provide additional analysis      (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.4.0.68)
                          data and a slightly optimized default behaviour of the packet resend algorithm        (mvGigECapture2.sys, version 3.2.0.68)
                          especially for LAG configurations.
                        - Property 'mvLinkCommandTimeoutCheckGranularity' added to 'DeviceModule' API.          (all shipped packages)

                        - The tooltips are now visible twice as long. That should make it easier to read        (wxPropView, mvDeviceConfigure)
                          through the longer information.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Internal migration to libexpat 2.2.9.                                                 (all shipped MSI-based packages)

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Gains were not taken into account for Bayer to mono conversions within the de-Bayer   (all shipped packages)
                          filter on Linux or 64-bit Windows systems.
                        - When using version 3.x of the FFmpeg libraries together with mvIMPACT Acquire H.264   (mvDeviceManager-lib)
                          or H.265 encoding the resulting files did use a different encoder than selected. This
                          was caused by a major change in FFmpeg with release 4.0. Therefore the support for
                          FFmpeg 3.x was removed from mvIMPACT Acquire.
                        - The FFmpeg libraries were not detected on Linux.                                      (mvDeviceManager-lib)

                          initialization.
                        - When the same producer file name was detected in more than a single location it was   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          loaded into the process multiple times.
                        - When the final output pixel format was one of the more exotic YUV formats the Bayer   (all shipped packages)
                          filter did not process images carrying a Bayer attribute. So the resulting image did
                          never carry any color information.
                        - Finding the system's libusb did not work correctly on Debian systems.                 (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                        - Calling acquisitionStop() for GEV devices took up to 500ms on Linux and Windows       (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          systems not utilizing the NDIS filter driver.
                        - Using the 'Quick Setup Wizard' on ARM based platforms could result in crashes.        (wxPropView)
                        - The 'Quick Setup Wizard' did not always configure the highest possible frame rate     (wxPropView)
                          when the 'Highest Speed' option was selected.
                        - In some cases the 'Quick Setup Wizard' disabled the the camera's AEC once it was      (wxPropView)
                          enabled in the wizard before.
                        - On Linux 'Update firmware from online package' did use a wrong directory to store     (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          the package and therefore the update did not work.

15.07.2020  2.39.0
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - The 'GenICam' namespace now contains the full SFNC 2.6 feature set.                   (mvIMPACT_acquire_GenICam.h)
                        - 'CaptureToMegaBuffer' example added to the documentation of the C++ API. This         (mvIMPACT_Acquire_API_CPP_manual)
                          can serve as a starting point for making optimal use of the mvBlockscan mode.
                        - New command line parameter added to mvIPConfigure: 'log_file' which allows to         (mvIPConfigure)
                          specify a log file that will contain the output, after the tool is closed.
                        - mvIMPACT Acquire learned how to connect to the FFmpeg project. As a result with       (all shipped packages)
                          an installed version of FFmpeg present on the system compressed video streams
                          can now be created. Have a look at the FFmpeg section in the 'Legal Notice' chapter
                          of the SDK manual for details.
                        - All Windows binaries are shipped with a digital signature now!                        (all shipped MSI-based packages)

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Capturing images into user supplied memory could crash for various pixel and test     (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                          modes(vdtmLeakyPixelTestImageMono8Bayer, vdtmHotAndColdPixelTestImageRGB888Packed as
                          well as all packed RGB/BGR formats and test modes).
                        - Calling 'DMR_AllocImageBuffer' with an invalid/unsupported pixel format could result  (mvDeviceManager-lib)
                          in a crash.
                        - In some cases using the 'forceAutoConfigurePersistent' and 'forceAutoConfigureDHCP'   (mvIPConfigure)
                          command line parameters did not work correctly.
                        - Using the 'Polarized Data Extraction' filter mode 'PseudoColorRepresentation'         (all shipped packages)
                          on Linux systems could result in a crash.

10.06.2020  2.38.0
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - A .NET Standard 2.0 build of the mvIMPACT Acquire .NET runtime has been added to      (all shipped MSI-based packages)
                          all Windows installers. This runtime will allow to write .NET Core applications with
                          mvIMPACT Acquire. See .NET API manual for details.
                        - 'Synchronous Method Execution' check-box added to the 'Options' dialog. The new       (wxPropView)
                          default is 'Off', the previous behaviour was 'On'. When 'On' methods in the property
                          grid will be executed synchronously thus will block all other window messages until
                          the method has been executed thus will e.g. also block the image display.
                        - Three more modes added to 'Polarized Data Extraction' filter.                         (all shipped packages)
                           'DegreeOfPolarization': The degree of the polarization in the image is visualized.
                           'AngleOfPolarization': The angle of the polarization in the image is visualized.
                           'PseudoColorRepresentation': The degree and the angle of the polarization in the
                           image are used to calculate a pseudo-color image.
                        - 'ContinuousCaptureFFmpeg' example added to the documentation of the C++ API. This     (mvIMPACT_Acquire_API_CPP_manual)
                          can serve as a starting point for creating compressed video streams.
                        - New command line parameter added to mvDeviceConfigure, mvGigEConfigure and            (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          mvIPConfigure: 'hidden' which might be useful e.g. during silent installation         (mvGigEConfigure)
                          procedures as it will not show the splash screen or the application window while the  (mvIPConfigure)
                          application can still be used to install or remove the filter driver.
                        - Experimental support for Birger EF-232 mount added to                                 (all shipped packages)
                          mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::labs namespace.
                        - 'GammaInverter' property added to LUT filter.                                         (all shipped packages)

                        UPDATES:
                        - Updated integrated U3VBootProgrammer to 0.38.2344.2.                                  (mvGenTLProducer.cti)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - From this version onwards the mvIMPACT Acquire .NET API be built for the target       (all .NET related libraries and projects)
                          framework 4.5.1. Previous versions did target version 3.5 of the .NET framework which
                          was released with Visual Studio 2008. Since modern Windows 10 systems are no longer
                          shipped with the .NET 3.5 framework using the mvIMPACT Acquire .NET runtime therefore
                          became impractical. .NET 4.5.1 was introduced with Visual Studio 2013 so should work
                          flawless on most systems. Applications still need .NET 3.5 have to use the .NET API
                          shipped with mvIMPACT Acquire 2.37.1 or below.
                        - During installation and removal of the GEV filter driver the new 'hidden' parameter   (mvGenTL_Acquire*.exe)
                          is passed to mvGigEConfigure. The tool therefore will not be visible while the
                          installation is running.
                        - The 'workerPriority' property of the SystemSettings class as well as the enumeration  (all shipped packages)
                          'TThreadPriority' has been removed from the public interface. It had been declared
                          deprecated in 2.24.0 in 2017. See 'Porting Existing Code' in the corresponding API
                          manual for details.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Trying to open a GenICam device with an incorrect 'AcquisitionMode' property setup    (wxPropView)
                          could result in a crash.
                        - The DirectShow interface finally works with VLC versions >= 3.0.0 now.                (mvDeviceManager-lib)
                        - If the 'FFC Calibration'-tab of the 'AOI Wizard' is selected for a monochrome camera  (wxPropView)
                          wxPropView might crash.
                        - If images are saved using the "Snapshot To Hard Disk" or "Hard Disk Recording" mode   (wxPropView)
                          the resulting images were stored in the wrong file format. 
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.37.0)
                        - Downloading firmware files on Linux systems did not work as a result of an incorrect  (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          path used to store the downloaded file.

                          image was displayed(or the display image in fact had a size of 0 by 0).
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.37.0)
                        - The 'PtpEnable' property was incorrectly mapped as an integer property while in fact  (mvIMPACT_acquire_GenICam.h)

                          as the C++/C# API thus not only 'acquire.ImpactAcquireException' objects but also
                          all the derived types can be caught.
                        - New functions added to API:
                          - C++ API: mvIMPACT::acquire::WhiteBalancer::highQualityWhiteBalance                  (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          - .NET API: mv.impact.acquire.WhiteBalancer.highQualityWhiteBalance                   (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                            Those convenience functions allow to perform a white balance calibration using the 
                            highest possible bit depth for the used device to get more precise correction 
                            gain values.

                        UPDATES:
                        - If possible the 'Quick Setup Wizard' will use the device's color transformation       (wxPropView)
                          feature to apply color corrections and saturation if available. This reduces load 
                          on the host CPU then.
                        - The overall size of the source code of the mvIMPACT Acquire Python wrapper has been   (Python API)
                          reduced to about a third of its previous size thus should be easily digestible by
                          smaller systems as well now.
                        - mvHYPERION Linux kernel driver and the respective installers now support kernel 5.3.  (low level mvHYPERION driver, Linux)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Some incompatible changes have been applied to the Python interface. Please refer     (Python API)
                          to the migration guide in the 'Python developers' chapter of your product. E.g.:
                          https://www.matrix-vision.com/manuals/mvBlueCOUGAR-X/Python_page_0.html
                        - The directory containing the Python interface moved from 'mvIMPACT_Python' to         (Python API)
                          'LanguageBindings/Python'.
                        - The C++ member mvIMPACT::acquire::CameraSettingsBlueDevice::autoControlParameters     (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          became private like in all other language bindings. Use the corresponding 'getter'
                          instead.
                        - When using the defective pixel filter in 'dpfm3x1Average' the algorithm doing the     (all shipped packages)
                          actual pixel correction can deal with locally connected clusters of defective pixels.
                        - When a MATRIX VISION device offers defective pixel correction and this correction is  (all shipped packages)
                          active then the driver based defective pixel correction filter is no longer switched
                          on automatically when defective pixel data is present on the device.
                        - In case a U3V capture buffer could not be queued(e.g. because the system is running   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          low on memory) the request object will be returned with the 'requestState' property
                          set to 'rrNotEnoughMemory' instead of 'rrRequestAborted' now.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Potential blue screen (BSOD) when working with the NDIS filter driver on Windows      (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.3.7.66)
                          when resend commands were initiated by the filter driver while new data was received  (mvGigECapture2.sys, version 3.1.8.66)
                          in parallel.
                        - Potential crash when building Mono12Packed_V1/V2 buffers with Bayer attributes and    (all shipped packages)
                          and a width not divisible by 2.
                        - Potential crashes in the channel split filter when working with                       (all shipped packages)
                          'ibpfYUV411_UYYVYY_Packed' the format on an image with a width not divisible by 4.
                        - Potential crash when feeding buffers with an odd width into the Bayer conversion      (all shipped packages)
                          filter with the 'RawToPlanes' mode selected.
                        - Detection of defective pixels did sometimes produce unexpected results when the       (all shipped packages)
                          illumination was not perfect especially when in a color image one channel was in
                          saturation.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.22.1)
                        - Opening the 'Quick Setup Wizard' for a GenICam device which did not support the       (wxPropView)
                          Gamma feature the wizard closed immediately without further notice.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.35.0)
                        - Images using the 'ibpfMono12Packed_V1' format could not be displayed.                 (wxPropView)
                          (Linux only)
                        - After changing parameters in the 'LUT Wizard' and selecting a different device the    (wxPropView)
                          'LUT Wizard' showed LUT values of the previously used device.
                        - Downloading firmware automatically did not work because of missing write rights to    (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          MVIMPACT_ACQUIRE_DIR as a result of missing elevated privileges.
                          The firmware will be downloaded to MVIMPACT_ACQUIRE_DATA_DIR/FirmwareUpdates from 
                          now. (Windows only)
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.35.0)
                        - Potential crashes when using user supplied capture memory in combination with image   (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                          processing like the defective pixel filter.
                        - Fixed a memory leak of about 256 bytes per network interface when GEV interfaces have (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          been enumerated. This leak only occurred once per dlopen/LoadLibrary of the
                          'mvDeviceManager-lib'.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.33.0)
                        - Calling 'TLOpen' after calling 'GCGetInfo' did return 'GC_ERR_RESOURCE_IN_USE'.       (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.35.0)
                        - Under some conditions the Linux libusb driver put the event endpoint in the stalled   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          state without canceling queued event buffers which was causing a 'USBDEVFS_CLEAR_HALT
                          for active endpoint 0x82' message in the kernel debug messages.
                        - The GenICam registers for the 'InterfaceID' feature could just store 128 bytes which  (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          was not enough on some systems. This value has been increased to the MAX_PATH value
                          now.
                        - Requesting images using the 'ircmTrial' sometimes did return incorrect information    (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          when the device would return a Bayer format.
                        - Sometimes when reading/writing properties from 2 threads (e.g. when processing an     (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          event callback while also setting a properties value) the write access to the
                          property has been ignored.
                        - Calling mvIMPACT::acquire::helper::ThreadSafeQueue::terminateWait did not always      (mvIMPACT_acquire_helper.h)
                          wake up mvIMPACT::acquire::helper::ThreadSafeQueue::pop when both functions where
                          called more or less in parallel.

02.10.2019  2.35.0
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - The mvIMPACT Acquire Python wrapper is delivered for ARMhf and ARM64 platforms now.   (all shipped packages for Unix/Linux systems)
                        - mvDeviceConfigure now also informs about an available firmware update for mvBlueFOX2  (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          devices.
                        - When passing 'online' as the value for the 'fw_file' parameter the latest firmware    (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          version from the MATRIX VISION website will be downloaded and stored on supported
                          devices. This can e.g. be used to update ALL devices connected to a system without
                          user interaction with the latest firmware available.
                        - Initial version of the AOI Wizard which will allow to configure AOIs for many         (wxPropView)
                          different features like auto exposure and auto gain controllers, white balance
                          calibration or flat field filter.

                        UPDATES:
                        - PFNC format YCbCr2020_411_8_CbYYCrYY will be treated as 'ibpfYUV411_UYYVYY'           (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          YCbCr601_422_8, YCbCr709_422_8, YCbCr2020_422_8 will be treated as 'ibpfYUV422Packed'
                          and YCbCr601_422_8_CbYCrY, YCbCr709_422_8_CbYCrY, YCbCr2020_422_8_CbYCrY
                          will be treated as 'ibpfYUV422_UYVYPacked' now thus data in these formats can
                          be fully dealt with.
                        - If possible the 'Quick Setup Wizard' will use the device's gamma feature if           (wxPropView)
                          available. This reduces load on the host CPU then.
                        - Internal migration from swig 3.0.12 to 4.0.1.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - mvIMPACT Acquire is not statically linked with libstdc++ and libgcc anymore, so       (all shipped packages for Unix/Linux systems)
                          the Linux systems have to use at least the version of gcc mvIMPACT Acquire has been
                          compiled with.
                          This means in detail:
                          - gcc 4.8.5 (GLIBCXX 3.4.19, libstdc++ 6.0.19) for x64 and x86_64 packages.
                          - gcc 4.9.4 (GLIBCXX 3.4.20, libstdc++ 6.0.20) for ARMsf and ARMhf packages.
                          - gcc 4.9.4 (GLIBCXX 3.4.20, libstdc++ 6.0.20) for ARM64 packages.
                          See 'Building, linking and running...' chapter in the 'Supported compilers' section
                          for additional details.
                        - A firmware update from the Internet can be enforced even if the firmware version is   (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          the same as the one currently running on the device. This can e.g. be useful to get
                          rid of any user sets stored on the device.
                        - mvDeviceConfigure no longer enforces elevated privileges on Windows systems. Most     (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          operations (like firmware updates for GenICam devices) can be done as a normal user
                          now. Whenever elevated privileges are required but not available the application will
                          inform the user.
                        - Some incompatible changes have been applied to the Python interface. Please refer     (Python API)
                          to the migration guide in the 'Python developers' chapter of your product. E.g.:
                          https://www.matrix-vision.com/manuals/mvBlueCOUGAR-X/Python_page_0.html

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Calling 'GCGetInfo' without calling 'TLOpen' before did result in a crash!            (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.33.0)
                        - In very rare cases the 'State' property was not set to 'Absent' when a U3V device was (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          unplugged on Windows when it had been unplugged at least one time before.
                        - Common module including some helper functions of the mvIMPACT Acquire Python wrapper  (all shipped packages)
                          is now installed in a Python 2.7 and 3.7 compatible way.
                        - Exception handling in Python API was broken on Windows systems. When an mvIMPACT      (setup.py)
                           Acquire related exception was raised the application did terminate.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.22.0)
                        - When the width of the AOI is smaller than 640 the host based AEC/AGC will be used     (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                          for mvBlueFOX-x02dx devices now even if 'DeviceSpecific' has been selected. This is a
                          little slower but the 'DeviceSpecific' version does not work then due to a sensor
                          limitation.
                        - Devices with whitespace characters in their serial number can be initialised using    (wxPropView)
                          wxPropView.
                        - mvDeviceConfigure correctly informs about an available firmware update if a package   (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          using the old naming scheme is found (<product>_Update-a.b.c.d.mvu) containing a
                          more recent firmware for a detected device.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.31.0)
                        - Calling mvIMPACT::acquire::Property::readS or mvIMPACT::acquire::Property::readSArray (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          did never terminate if the returned string was longer than 8192 characters.
                        - mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyF::getTranslationDictValue did return the internal     (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          error code casted to a double instead of the requested value.
                        - Requesting images using the 'ircmTrial' sometimes did return incorrect information    (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          e.g. a different pixel format as an internal exception was raised by e.g. the format
                          convert filter.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.22.0)
                        - Some interface functions (TLIMV_MACFromSerial, TLIMV_IsValidIPv4Address,              (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          TLIMV_ForceIP and TLIMV_DoAddressesMatch) where no longer exported on Linux systems.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.33.0)

09.08.2019  2.34.0
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - API added to configure the enumeration behaviour of third party GenTL producer        (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          libraries. See 'General SDK functionality' in the 'Typical Usage Scenarios And        (wxPropView)
                          Example Applications' section of the SDK manual for details.
                        - The 'GenICam' namespace now contains the full SFNC 2.5 feature set.                   (mvIMPACT_acquire_GenICam.h)
                        - New overload for mvIMPACT::acquire::Method::call/mv.impact.acquire.Method.call        (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          added that accepts a list of strings.                                                 (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                        - New example added to all packages: 'GenICamI2cUsage'.                                 (all shipped packages)

                        UPDATES:
                        - wxPropView became 'DeviceRegistersValid' aware.                                       (wxPropView)
                        - Improved compatibility with 3rd party GenTL producers.                                (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                        - Removed all occurrences of 'std::auto_ptr' since this class has been deprecated in    (all shipped packages)
                          C++11 and removed in C++17 and therefore applications built with up to date compilers
                          did receive a lot of warnings.
                        - Improved and enhanced 'Typical Usage Scenarios And Example Applications' chapter.     (all shipped packages)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - From this version onwards mvBlueLYNX-X, mvBlueLYNX-M7 and mvBlueCOUGAR-P devices      (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          will no longer be supported. As a consequence the following example applications
                          have been removed from the SDK: 'CaptureFromMultipleChannelsUsingMultipleSettings',

                          class 'IOSubSystemBlueCOUGAR' has also been removed. Use 'IOSubSystem' instead.
                        - From this version onwards PPC based platforms will no longer be supported.            (all shipped packages)
                        - GEV adapters will report a more unique interface ID now. It used to be the MAC        (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          address. Weird systems reporting the same MAC address for multiple adapters however
                          did enumerate devices on the first of these adapters only then.
                        - Known technologies from third party GenTL producers mvIMPACT Acquire has built-in     (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          support for will be ignored by default now in order not to pollute the list of
                          devices with duplicated entries. Using the new API these can enabled by the user.
                        - When running Windows 8 or greater a reboot of the system after installing the         (mvGenTL_Acquire*.exe)
                          mvGenTL_Acquire package is no longer necessary. In previous versions when not logging
                          on as an administrator AFTER the reboot the NDIS filter driver for GigE Vision
                          devices was not properly installed.
                        - Removed 'PowerDownTest' example from mvBlueFOX Linux installation packages. Please    (mvBlueFOX-*.tgz)
                          refer to the 'Typical Usage Scenarios And Example Applications' in the documentation
                          instead.
                        - Merged the Linux example 'LiveSnap' with the 'ContinuousCapture' example. Now there   (all shipped packages)
                          is a common 'ContinuousCapture' example.
                        - 'LiveSnapFLTK' became 'ContinuousCaptureFLTK'.                                        (all shipped packages for Unix/Linux systems)

                        BUGS FIXED:

                        - mvVirtualDevice displays BMP files with a custom palette correctly now.               (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                        - In some cases "Junk After Document Element" messages showed up in mvDeviceConfigure   (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          once the "Firmware Update from Online Package" option has been used.

26.06.2019  2.33.1
                        UPDATES:
                        - Improved compatibility with 3rd party GenTL producers.                                (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)

05.06.2019  2.33.0
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - The defective pixel filter now supports also the following pixel formats:             (all shipped packages)
                          BGR888Packed, RGB888Packed, RGB101010Packed, RGB121212Packed, RGB141414Packed,
                          RGB161616Packed, RGBx888Packed, YUV444_UYVPacked, YUV444_UYV_10Packed, YUV444Packed
                          and YUV444_10Packed.
                        - New correction mode added to defective pixel filter:                                  (all shipped packages)
                          dpfmReplaceDefectivePixelAfter3x3Filter. See SDK documentation for additional
                          details.
                        - New header file added to C++ interface: mvIMPACT_acquire_helper.h. This file adds the (all shipped packages)
                          classes 'mvIMPACT::acquire::helper::RequestProvider' and
                          'mvIMPACT::acquire::helper::ThreadSafeQueue' to the public interface.
                        - Added 64-bit Borland import libraries to 32-bit installers as well:                   (all shipped MSI-based packages)
                          mvDeviceManagerb.lib and mvDisplayb.lib.
                        - PFNC formats YCbCr411_8_CbYYCrYY, YCbCr601_411_8_CbYYCrYY and YCbCr709_411_8_CbYYCrYY (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          will be treated as 'ibpfYUV411_UYYVYY_Packed' now thus data in these formats can
                          be fully dealt with.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - When running out of USB kernel memory on Linux queuing a request can fail. However    (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          it took 'ImageRequestTimeout_ms' for this unsuccessful operation to return and in
                          case this timeout was INFINITE the operation did never return.
                          (Linux only)
                        - BF3-3 and BF3-4 devices will also be recognized as being 'Quick Setup Wizard'         (wxPropView)
                          compatible.
                        - Switching on 'Gamma' in the 'Quick Setup Wizard', leaving it with 'Ok' and            (wxPropView)
                          re-entering it switched off the gamma control but did show the 'Gamma' button as
                          being active.
                        - LUT wizard displays the interpolated LUT values and not only the LUT's sampling       (wxPropView)
                          points in case of interpolated LUTs
                        - Calling 'DMR_SaveImageBuffer' with 'iffAuto' and a *.bmp, *.jpg or *.jpeg file        (mvDeviceManager-lib)
                          extension did result in the creation of files not readable for almost every other
                          image viewer.
                        - Calling 'DMR_UpdateDeviceList' when new interfaces have appeared since the last call  (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          could result in inconsistent interface to device reports (e.g. in wxPropViews 'Info'
                          dialog).
                        - The NeuroCheck 6.x interface did crash when enumerating third party interfaces within (mv.impact.acquire.NeuroCheck6.dll)
                          NeuroCheck's device manager.                                                          (mv.impact.acquire.NeuroCheck6_1.dll)
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.31.0)
                        - On Windows when installing the mvGenTL-Acquire package and then restarting the system (all shipped MSI-based packages)
                          and logging in with a non administrator account GEV and U3V interfaces where not be
                          enumerated. Therefore it seems like no devices are connected to the system.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Internal migration from                                                               (all shipped Linux packages)

                          - gcc 4.8.3 to gcc 4.9.4 for ARM64 packages.
                          See 'Building, linking and running...' chapter in the 'Supported compilers' section
                          for additional details.
                        - Internal migration from swig 2.0.12 to 3.0.12.
                        - The status bar tooltip introduced in version 2.32.0 can be switched on and off now    (wxPropView)
                          within the 'Settings -> Options' dialog and will only be displayed if the mouse stays
                          at least one second on the status bar.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - The socket based GigE Vision driver will no longer start in the middle of a running   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          block when it did run out of capture buffers and gets a fresh one in between. When
                          not listening on an LAG group it will now wait for the next start of a block. On LAG
                          groups it will start with packets with an ID smaller than the value of
                          'mvResendCaptureWindowSize'.
                        - When a GenICam device returns an error in the middle of a 'load setting' operation    (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          the load operation as a whole no longer fails but only the particular feature is
                          not written then.

08.05.2019  2.32.0
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - mvIMPACT Acquire supports all 3rd party devices and 3rd party GenTL producers now     (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          even though right now some of them will only work for a trial period. Get in touch    (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          with us if you have questions about that.
                        - New error codes added: DMR_BUSY and DMR_OUT_OF_MEMORY.                                (all shipped packages)
                        - New function added: 'OBJ_GetBinaryEx'. See PropertyS::readBinary for additional       (mvDeviceManager-lib)

                        - Added 'Default Acquisition Start/Stop Behaviour' menu.                                (wxPropView)
                        - The defective pixel filter learned how to process the following pixel formats:        (all shipped packages)

                        - Test image format 'vdtmHotAndColdPixelTestImageRGB888Packed' added.                   (mvVirtualDevice-lib)

                        UPDATES:
                        - Improved translation of GenTL error codes into mvIMPACT Acquire error ones.           (all shipped packages)
                        - Improved cache efficiency when accessing GenICam properties containing binary data.   (mvPropHandling-lib)

                        - In order to increase the awareness for the 'ImageRequestTimeout_ms' property          (wxPropView)
                          wxPropView will warn when buffer timeouts occur and will recommend to adjust the
                          timeout property then.
                        - All files (kernel mode and user mode) are signed with a DigiCert EV certificate now
                          as the new COMODO certificate still resulted in Windows SmartScreen warnings.
                          (Windows only)
                        - All installer scripts report errors and warnings in case of issues during             (all shipped Linux packages)
                          installation and their result at the end of the installation.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - The default value of 'ImageRequestTimeout_ms' has been changed from 2000 to 0
                          (infinite). In very rare cases this might result in the function
                          'imageRequestWaitFor' not returning anymore depending on how the application is
                          written. See 'Calling 'imageRequestWaitFor' never returns / An application no
                          longer terminates after upgrading to mvIMPACT Acquire 2.32.0 or greater' in the
                          'Known Issues' section of the documentation to make sure this does NOT affect you!
                        - Examples for Borland C++ Builder are no longer shipped as part of the installation.   (all shipped MSI-based packages)
                          However Borland Makefiles for the example applications can be generated with CMake
                          now. See documentation in the 'building and linking' section for details.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - wxPropView did not scale LUT values once they were copied within the LUT wizard.      (wxPropView)
                        - The LUT wizard calculates the correct gamma correction values instead of it's inverse (wxPropView)
                          values now.
                        - Firmware downgrade notifications showed incorrect version numbers in some cases.      (mvDeviceConfigure)

                          not apply the gain when exposure time and gain where changed at the same time and the
                          new exposure time was greater than the previous one.
                        - PFNC pixel formats 'Coord3D_A12p', 'Coord3D_B12p' and 'Coord3D_C12p' have been        (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          treated as 'ibpfMono12' instead of 'ibpfMono12Packed_V1' resulting in crashes and
                          all sorts of other problems.
                        - Some small changes in the interface header files in order to compile applications     (all shipped packages)
                          with Embarcadero C++ 7.40.
                        - The black level slider in the 'Quick Setup' wizard can be used again.                 (wxPropView)
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.31.0)

                          'FunctionInterface::getRequest' in between at least once did result in invalid        (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                          request properties and could result in exception being thrown at runtime.
                        - clGetSerialPortIdentifier returned portID without portIndex.                          (clsermv-lib)

                        - mvIMPACT Acquire is now shipped with CMake support! See the 'Building and linking'    (all shipped packages)
                          chapter of the documentation for details.
                        - mvIMPACT Acquire example applications will now be shipped with C++11 features. CMake  (all shipped packages)
                          users using an appropriate compiler and users using the Visual Studio 2013 solution
                          will automatically get the new versions of the example applications, all others will
                          continue to see the legacy C++03 code. As a result a lot of new example applications
                          are therefore available as part of the Linux installation as well now.
                        - 'RemoveImage' function added to 'ImageDisplay' class.                                 (mv.impact.acquire.display.dll)
                                                                                                                (mvIMPACT_acquire_display.h)
                        - New calibration modes added to defective pixel filter: 'dpfmCalibrateHotPixel' and    (all shipped packages)
                          'dpfmCalibrateHotAndColdPixel'.
                        - New example added to all packages: 'GenICamCommonSettingsUsage'.                      (all shipped packages)
                        - 'formatReinterpreterBayerMosaicParity' property added. This will allow to modify,     (all shipped packages)
                          add or remove the 'Bayer' attribute from an image buffer.
                        - The 'Quick Setup' wizard will display images coming from a polarized sensor in 2by2   (all shipped packages)
                          mode now and is able to display these image in color when they come from a color
                          sensor.
                        - mvDeviceConfigure learned to apply firmware updates by downloading the latest version (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          from the MATRIX VISION GmbH website.
                        - The flat field filter became AOI aware. It is now possible to calibrate only a part   (all shipped packages)
                          of the image and then only apply the flat field correction to that part of the image.
                          Furthermore a calibration AOI can be selected which basically defines the AOI that is
                          process. This results in reduced CPU load. Refer to the 'Image Processing' chapter
                          in the documentation.
                        - Color correction matrix for Sony IMX226 based products added.                         (all shipped packages)

                        - Updated integrated U3VBootProgrammer to 0.33.1693.2.                                  (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                        - Internal migration to Doxygen 1.8.15.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Test image format 'vdtmColdPixelTestImageBayer' changed to                            (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                          'vdtmHotAndColdPixelTestImageBayer'.
                        - Examples for Visual Studio 2008 are no longer shipped as part of the installation.    (all shipped MSI-based packages)
                          Project files for the example applications for arbitrary Visual Studio can be
                          generated with CMake now.
                        - The Linux example application 'SingleSnap' is no longer shipped as part of the        (all shipped packages for Unix/Linux systems)
                          installation. It has long been replaced by 'SingleCapture'.
                        - The Linux example application 'testserial' is no longer shipped as part of the        (all shipped packages for Unix/Linux systems)
                          installation.
                        - On Linux the driver will try to use the systems native libusb and libudev if possible (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          if an environment variable 'MVIMPACT_ACQUIRE_FAVOUR_SYSTEMS_LIBUSB' is specified now.
                          If no matching compatible pair can be detected the libraries that are installed
                          in the $MVIMPACT_ACQUIRE_DIR/Toolkits directory will be used(this was the previous
                          behaviour). See 'known issues' section in the API manuals for details.
                        - When saving a setting in GenICam interface layout without specifying that sequencer   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          or user set data shall be stored the old file format of GenApi 3.0.x and smaller will
                          be used in order to allow old software to load these settings as well.
                        - Internal buffer layout changed for U3V devices as certain USB3 host controllers       (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          due to bugs in their driver cannot deal with large (>16MB) transfer sizes. This e.g.
                          fixes potential problems when using certain sequencer sets with high resolution
                          devices.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - mvDeviceConfigure did not always allow to update the firmware of a device even if a   (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          suitable firmware was present in the selected archive(*.mvu).
                        - Random crashes when a U3V device was unplugged and closed more or less                (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          simultaneously.
                          (Linux only)
                        - Fixed a couple of small issues in the installation scripts.                           (all shipped packages for Unix/Linux systems)
                          (Linux only)
                        - The property mv.impact.acquire.ImageProcessing.flatFieldFilterCorrectionMode had an   (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                          invalid handle.
                        - Added missing build dependency which could result in the build of                     (samples.NET.VC12.sln)
                          'GenICamCommonSettingsUsage' to fail when building the .NET examples.

14.12.2018  2.30.1
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - New test image format added: 'vdtmColdPixelTestImageBayer'.                           (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                        - New example added to all packages: 'ContinuousCaptureQt'.                             (all shipped packages)

                        UPDATES:
                        - Updated integrated U3VBootProgrammer and U3VBootLoader to 0.32.1667.2.                (mvGenTLProducer.cti)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - From this version onwards on Windows the mvGenTL_Acquire installation package will    (mvGenTL_Acquire*.exe)
                          be shipped as an executable package. The underlying technology will still be the
                          same but the package is wrapper inside a bootstrapper now. Also when mvGigEConfigure
                          is launched after the reboot no more user interaction will be required by default.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - In rare cases when 'userControlledImageProcessingEnable' was active the processing    (all shipped packages)
                          result of the 'Decoupler' node was 'iprSkipped' instead of 'iprApplied'.

10.12.2018  2.30.0
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - New example added to all packages: 'GenICamSequencerUsageWithPaths'.                  (all shipped packages)
                        - Color correction matrix for Sony IMX183 based products added.                         (all shipped packages)

                        UPDATES:
                        - The driver no longer reads back gain and exposure time with the GenICam attribute     (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          'NoCache' when written. Instead a faster internal caching mechanism is used now.
                        - Internal migration to IPP 2019.1. This effectively changes the runtime installations  (all -x86_*.tgz packages)
                          on Linux systems slightly. Instead of linking statically all IPP related code has
                          been extracted into a dynamic library 'mvImageProcessing' which is now part of the
                          installation packages.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - The multi-AOI wizard will correctly restore the current camera AOI when exited with   (wxPropView)
                          'OK' now.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - mvIPConfigure did crash when mvGenTLProducer.cti was not located in the same folder.  (mvIPConfigure)
                          The crash no longer occurs and also the GENICAM_GENTL32_PATH or GENICAM_GENTL64_PATH
                          variable is evaluated when looking for the library.
                        - Raise condition that could result in an mvBlueFOX3 device to move into standby mode   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          while being in use by an application.
                        - When the NDIS filter driver was used for GEV devices, 'acquisitionStartStopBehaviour' (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          was set to 'assbUser' and the time that passed between the first 'imageRequestSingle'
                          call and the first 'acquisitionStart' call was higher than the value of the
                          property 'imageRequestTimeout_ms' for that buffer, the buffer was returned with a
                          timeout. Now the timeout period will start not until 'acquisitionStart' is called.
                        - Some mvBlueFOX devices (e.g. mvBlueFOX-121) did no longer deliver images.             (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.29.0)
                        - Cold pixel detection in the defective pixel filter did not work correctly with Bayer  (all shipped packages)
                          images. In case of error usually lots of cold pixels have been detected within the
                          first line of the image.

07.11.2018  2.29.1
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - 2 by 2 mode added to 'Polarized Data Extraction' filter.                              (all shipped packages)
                        - Color correction matrix for Sony IMX342 based products added.                         (all shipped packages)

                        UPDATES:
                        - Internal migration to CMake. All Linux based builds are generated using CMake now.    (all shipped packages for Unix/Linux systems)
                        - Internal migration to IPP 2019.0.                                                     (all shipped packages)
                          (Windows only)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - From this version onwards ppc603e based platforms will no longer be supported.        (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                        - From this version onwards the mvBlueCOUGAR-X/(D) and mvBlueFOX3 firmware will no
                          longer be shipped as part of mvIMPACT Acquire. However the firmware can of course
                          still be downloaded from the MATRIX VISION website separately. This is meant to
                          speed up the release cycle times for both the firmware and the mvIMPACT Acquire SDK.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Potential blue screen (BSOD) when working with the NDIS filter driver on Windows      (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.3.6.65)
                          with Stream Channel Packet Size (SCPS) values smaller than 576 bytes.                 (mvGigECapture2.sys, version 3.1.7.65)
                                                                                                                (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                        - On some systems where multiple network adapters did have multiple IP addresses        (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          assigned sometimes the MTU of the network adapter was reported incorrectly.
                        - Potential deadlock when calling updateDeviceList after another network adapter had    (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          appeared.
                        - Potential crash after another network adapter had appeared.                           (mvDeviceConfigure)
                        - Random crashes when at least on mvBlueFOX device was present in a Linux system.       (mvBlueFOX-lib)

                          the installation of the GEV filter driver when selecting 'No' when asked whether to
                          show NIC setup hints.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.11.3)
                        - From this version onwards on Windows 7 the NDIS 5.x based GEV filter driver will be   (mvGenTL_Acquire*.msi)
                          used again as since the last changes the NDIS 6.x based version did cause problems.
                          With version 2.29.0 after rebooting the system on Windows 7 the filter driver had to
                          be disabled and then enabled again to get a working network connection.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.29.0)

02.10.2018  2.29.0
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.31.1567.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.         (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)

                            - IMX: Improved frame rate exactness in continuous mode for all IMX sensors
                              except for IMX178.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD107G/C: AOI and binning/decimation can now be used with the
                              sequencer
                            - Support for new cameras mvBlueCOUGAR-X102kG/C with IMX432 sensor.
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2XXX: SmartFrameRecall can only be enabled if the image width is a
                              multiple of 8
                            - USB 3.0 devices will now act as USB 3.1 Gen 1 devices.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - Sequencered Binning had problems when the width changed and the height was also
                              scaled.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD102fG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104dG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104hG/C,

                              mvBlueCOUGAR-XD1012bG/C: fixed a bug, that led to corrupted images in
                              SmartFrameRecall mode if the image width was not a multiple of 16
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2XXX: SmartFrameRecall in combination with USB 2.0 / High Speed did
                              not work as expected.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD107G/C: Changing PixelFormat or mvSensorDigitizationBitDepth when
                              mvDualAdcMode is already on led to bad images.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - 'Polarized Data Extraction' filter added.                                             (all shipped packages)
                        - Color correction matrix for mvBlueCOUGAR-X102kC devices added.                        (all shipped packages)

05.07.2018  2.28.0
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.30.1463.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.         (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2XXX: Enabled SmartFrameRecall
                            - mvBlueFOX3-MXXXX: Enabled user i2c interface for module version
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2064G/C: GlobalReset mode implemented.
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - Additional flash space of mvBlueCOUGAR-X/XD, Rev.5 and mvBlueFOX3-2 is now
                              reserved, to ensure that the theoretic possible amount of defective pixel
                              positions of our larger sensors can be stored. IMX420, IMX428, IMX253 and IMX304
                              sensor now support up to 1536 defective pixel.
                            - Cameras with IMX sensors: First image after switching to TriggerMode 'Off' is
                              done faster.
                            - 'mvDeviceSensorName' became 'SensorName', 'mvDeviceSensorPixelWidth' became
                              'SensorPixelWidth' and 'mvDeviceSensorPixelHeight' became
                              'SensorPixelHeight' according to the SFNC 2.4. Also the features have been
                              moved from the 'DeviceControl' category into the 'ImageFormatControl'
                              category. 'mvDeviceSensorName' remains as an invisible property for backward
                              compatibility.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - BCX(D)s with IMX sensors when using LUTs in combination with Mono8/Bayer8
                              delivered reduced quality image (missing codes).
                            - Frame rate was halved when using ReverseY. Bug introduced in 2.29.1385.0.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD107G/C: fixed bug, that caused images being displaced by a few
                              lines when enabling vertical binning/decimation in comparison to the same image

                              mvBlueFOX3-1020G/C, mvBlueFOX3-1020aG/C:
                              LineScan mode did not work with OffsetX != 0.
                              FrameActive was not set correctly.
                            - SmartFrameRecall didn't work since 2.24, currently the user has to ensure that
                              thumbnail width is a multiple of 8.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X105G/C: Disturbed images could occur at high temperatures when
                              using maximum device clock frequency (98Mhz).
                            - mvBlueFOX3, mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D) all models: Code for mutual exclusion of triggers
                              FrameStart, FrameBurstStart and FrameBurstActive was triggered even if
                              one of these triggers was switched off.

                        NEW FEATURES:

                          report 'Unreachable' in the 'State' property of the current process.
                        - Potential crash when using the 'AdaptiveEdgeSensingPlus' Bayer conversion mode when   (all shipped packages)
                          the channel bit depth did change from one request to the next.
                        - Moving Mono12 packed test images did use a different start pixel value for each color (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                          color bar.
                        - Network interfaces with more than one IP address could lead to error messages         (all shipped Linux packages)
                          appearing on the console.
                        - Updating the DirectShow interface without uninstalling all previous versions of       (DirectShow_acquire.ax)
                          mvIMPACT Acquire did not install the latest version since version 2.17.0.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.17.0)
                        - Unchecking the 'automatically check for updates' checkbox within the MSI installer    (all shipped MSI based packages)
                          did result in an installation error.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.26.0)
                        - .NET 'Request' property hasProcessingBeenSkipped always returned false.               (mv.impact.acquire.dll)

12.04.2018  2.26.0
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.28.1323.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.         (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                            - Maximum exposure time increased to up to 20s for all ICX and IMX sensors
                              except the IMX178.
                            - New properties 'mvDeviceSensorRevisionMajor', 'mvDeviceSensorRevisionMinor',
                              'mvDeviceSensorPixelWidth', 'mvDeviceSensorPixelHeight' added.
                            - Support for multiple paths in sequencer using old properties
                              'SequencerPathSelector', 'SequencerTriggerSource' and new property
                              'SequencerTriggerActivation'. 'SequencerTriggerSource' now also supports
                              'UserOutput0' as a trigger.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD107: SONY IMX420 Dual Gain feature now available
                              Dual Gain feature is only usable in combination with Multi-AOI mode.
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - Nodes with attribute 'ValidValueSet' are no longer used in the GenICam XML
                              file. Therefore this and future versions can also be used with software
                              that is linked with the GenApi 2.0 - 2.3(e.g. mvIMPACT Acquire 1.10.95 -
                              2.6.3, MIL 9, etc..).
                            - 'mvFeatureMode' and 'ImageCompressionMode' will only be available if JPEG
                              compression is available now.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Cameras do no longer go into standby while streaming.
                            - CIECAM16 instead of WPPLS color correction matrices are now used in all
                              cameras.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D), mvBlueFOX3 (models with IMX sensors):
                              Improved AquisitionStart behaviour.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - UserOutputValues and LineSources were not set correctly when calling
                              UserSetLoad(). Bug introduced in 2.27.1231.0.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D) (all models): fixed bug that could crash the camera firmware
                              when enabling/disabling the serial interface
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D), mvBlueFOX3 (models with IMX sensors):
                              In random cases acquisition could stop when changing exposure time.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD107G/C: Sequencer could stop when changing image size.
                            - Sequencer frame rate no longer depends on exposure time of last configured
                              sequencer set.
                            - Writing to the binning/decimation registers sometimes did take quite some
                              time for some IMX sensor based cameras. Bug introduced in 2.27.1231.0.
                            - The 'device mode' register did contain an invalid value for 'current link
                              configuration' in static LAG mode resulting in invalid data in the
                              'GevCurrentPhysicalLinkConfiguration' property when a GEV device then.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - 'mvGainMode' and 'mvGainHorizontalZoneDivider' property added to the 'AnalogControl'  (mvIMPACT_acquire_GenICam.h)
                          class of the GenICam namespace.                                                       (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                        - Added a checkbox to allow to configure whether wxPropView shall automatically check   (all shipped MSI based packages)
                          for updates or not.
                        - All Linux installer scripts now support a minimal installation option, which can be   (all shipped Linux packages)
                          achieved with the '-m' or '--minimal' command line argument.
                        - The sequencer wizard can now cope with multiple sequencer paths per sequencer set.    (wxPropView)
                        - 'AdaptiveEdgeSensingPlus' Bayer conversion mode added for high quality debayering.    (all shipped packages)

                        UPDATES:
                        - Checking for updates now is 'proxy setting aware'.                                    (wxPropView)
                        - Migration to wxWidgets 3.0.4 (Windows only). All wxWidgets based applications         (all shipped MSI based packages)
                          are built using wxWidgets 3.0.4 now.
                        - Internal migration to IPP 2018.2.                                                     (all shipped packages)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - From this version onwards the initial mvBlueFOX kernel driver for 32-bit Windows      (mvBlueFOX.sys)
                          that was removed in version 1.10.66 can no longer be updated to the mvBlueFOX2.sys
                          driver that was added in version 1.6.10 (2006). When you still have 32-bit systems
                          using this old driver use mvDeviceConfigure to update the driver BEFORE migrating
                          to mvIMPACT Acquire 2.26.0 or newer.
                        - From this version onwards Windows XP is no longer supported by mvIMPACT Acquire.      (all shipped MSI based packages)
                          Official support stopped a while ago, since this release GUI applications as well as
                          some of the underlying libraries will no longer load on Windows versions older than
                          Windows Vista.
                        - The ColorTwist filters 'DeviceSpecific' input matrix now uses CIECAM16 color          (all shipped packages)
                          correction matrices, in contrast to WPPLS color correction matrices used until now.
                          Furthermore, CIECAM16 color correction matrices can now also be manually selected
                          for all products.
                        - The ColorTwist filter's output matrix default preset has been changed from            (all shipped packages)
                          XYZToAdobeRGB_D50 to XYZTosRGB_D50 since most use-cases use the sRGB colorspace.
                        - Writing a GenICam feature no longer blocks the acquisition engine. When writing to a  (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          device feature took a long time (e.g. did generate PENDING_ACKs) during that time
                          no new requests could be queued which could result in the acquisition engine to
                          starve.
                        - The default visibility of the infoFrameID property of a request has been changed from (all shipped packages)
                          'invisible' to 'visible'.
                        - Low level errors reported by a GenTL producer when reading and writing properties     (mvPropHandling-lib)
                          will be reported to the application now.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Updating mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D) devices running with firmware version 1.1.3.0 or smaller   (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          did not work properly and resulted in various messages with information that did not
                          actually apply.
                        - Some bugs and warnings fixed for mvIMPACT_Python wrapper scripts.                     (all shipped packages)
                        - Potential crash when no GenICam device has been detected, the 'warn on potential      (wxPropView)
                          firewall issues' option was active, and the user selected 'No' in the message dialog.
                        - On Linux systems the various settings of the options dialog could not be changed.     (wxPropView)
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.25.0)
                        - Crash when shutting down a Windows 7 system while wxPropView was still open.          (wxPropView)
                        - When moving wxPropView around or minimizing and then maximizing the application again (wxPropView)
                          the display overlay messages haven't been repainted. (Windows only)
                        - The example applications 'CaptureToUserMemory_C' and
                          'ContinuousCaptureOnlyProcessLatest' have been missing some files after the           (all shipped MSI based packages)
                          installation. (Windows only)
                        - Potential crash in defective pixel filter when feeding it with images with either the (all shipped packages)
                          width or the height being smaller than 20.

                            - mvBlueCOUGAR: FFC Calibration is now possible with configured AOI.
                              In this case the average value is calculated for the AOI only
                              while the FFC values are calculated for the full sensor area.
                            - New camera mvBlueCOUGAR-XD107C with sensor IMX420.
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2064G/C: Minimum AOI height is 320 now,
                              minimum AOI width is 376 now.
                            - Deprecated some features with respect to the latest SFNC 2.3:
                              'mvGevSCBWControl' (use 'DeviceLinkThroughputLimitMode' instead),
                              'mvGevSCBW'(use 'DeviceLinkThroughputLimit' instead)
                            - Removed support for features that have been declared deprecated for centuries.
                              All the information can be accessed using 'GevSupportedOptionSelector' and
                              'GevSupportedOption':

                              mvBlueCOUGAR-XD12xG/C:
                                Actual TimerDelay and TriggerDelay were too short by ~3.5%.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Users now can manually check or enable automatic weekly checking for updates. This    (wxPropView)

                        UPDATES:
                        - Added missing features to the 'mvFFCControl' class: 'mvFFCImageLoad',                 (mvIMPACT_acquire_GenICam.h)
                         'mvFFCImageSave' and 'mvFFCAutoLoadMode'.                                              (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                        - On Linux systems just like on windows systems, all GEV cameras with bad network       (mvIPConfigure)
                          configurations will now appear on the device list.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:

                            - Improved Interface of Flat Field Correction Feature: Loading/Storing the FFC data
                              in non-volatile can be done now manually too.
                            - The Flat Field Correction in mvBlueCOUGAR-X CMOS color cameras (all but CMV and
                              V034) is done now color aware and won't interfere with the normal white balance
                              settings anymore.
                            - The new feature 'mvTimestampPPSSync' allows synchronizing the Timestamp by a
                              'Pulse Per Second' signal. It is available in all mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D) and mvBlueFOX3
                              devices.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD107G: Upper and lower part of an image can be acquired with
                              different exposure times.
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2064G/C: Minimum width is 640 instead of 512 now.

                            - mvBlueFOX3: Sequencer can be used up to 500 fps.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - GevMCSP was always reported as 0.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X/XD: Loading of default user set could lead to wrong bandwidth
                              (mvGevSCBW) settings.
                            - AOI used for AEC, AGC, AWB algorithms was not updated when the actual capture
                              AOI was changed.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Added a 3rd part (Mono8 ramp) to the multi-part mode of the virtual device            (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                          for testing purposes.
                        - Interfaces can now be ignored as a group, based on their transport layer technology   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          type by using the properties 'mvInterfaceTechnologyToIgnoreEnable' and
                          'mvInterfaceTechnologyToIgnoreSelector'.
                        - mvDeviceConfigure can detect ignored GenICam interfaces, and recommend a fix.         (mvDeviceConfigure)
                        - mvIPConfigure can detect ignored GenICam interfaces, and recommend a fix.             (mvIPConfigure)

                        UPDATES:
                        - Some U3V devices set their 'event_size' in multi-event mode to invalid values (e.g.   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          0). This could result in an internal infinite loop resulting in no more events being
                          delivered to the application.
                        - For GEV devices supporting the message channel source port the driver will now send   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          dummy packets to the devices message channel in order to open up the message channel
                          if blocked by a firewall.
                        - Optimized packet size auto negotiation algorithm for GEV devices.                     (mvGenTLProducer.cti)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - The 'workerPriority' property of the SystemSettings class/category has been declared  (all shipped packages)
                          deprecated.
                        - Property 'mvIgnoreInterfaceWhenEnumerating', is no longer a bool but a tri-state      (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          enum, and it has been renamed to 'mvDeviceUpdateListBehaviour'. This change was 
                          necessary for seamless operation with the new 'mvInterfaceTechnologyToIgnoreEnable'
                          and 'mvInterfaceTechnologyToIgnoreSelector' features.
                        - When the 'Bayer' filter did return an incorrect result buffer if a device claimed     (all shipped packages)
                          to send one format but then did actually deliver a different one.
                        - The check for the presence of KB3033929 which is needed on Windows 7 and              (all shipped MSI based packages)

                          also done during silent installations.
                        - The Quick Setup Wizard no longer automatically changes any device settings if         (wxPropView)
                          manually started from the button or the menu. Furthermore, feature selectors as
                          well as scrollbar positions and zoom factor of the displayed image will be reverted
                          to their original setting when closing the wizard.
                        - The 'Driver Information dialog' now resides in the 'Action' category of the menu, and (wxPropView)
                          is called 'Interface Configuration and Driver Information' dialog. If there are
                          GenICam interfaces on the system the user can ignore or un-ignore them graphically
                          in this dialog.

                        BUGS FIXED:

                          the image after reducing the width/height of that area in the 'Multi AOI' wizard.
                        - Firmware update is possible again for mvBlueCOUGAR-S devices.                         (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.18.0)
                        - Potential BSOD when the operating system did run extremely low on resources.          (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.3.4.61)
                                                                                                                (mvGigECapture2.sys, version 3.1.4.61)
                        - Sometimes when opening/closing a GEV device while calling 'updateDeviceList' from a   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          separate thread opening the device the next time could fail.
                        - For some RGB packed to ibpfBGR101010Packed_V2 conversions the resulting image did     (all shipped packages)
                          incorrectly exchange the red and blue component.
                        - For internal pixel format conversions of buffers using a line pitch with padding      (all shipped packages)
                          bytes when the conversion was done on the fly (within the existing buffer) the
                          resulting image could have an incorrect pitch after the conversion.
                        - White balance calibration for multi-byte data did take the current gain into account  (all shipped packages)
                          resulting in the white balance gains to change every time 'CalibrateNextFrame' was
                          selected and applied to the next image.
                        - The Bayer filter did not process data if the final output format was set to           (all shipped packages)
                          'ibpfBGR101010Packed_V2'.'

                          not return an error. The returned data however was arbitrary memory content.
                        - When leaving the 'Color Correction' dialog without pressing 'OK' the previous         (wxPropView)
                          settings will be restored now.

18.10.2017  2.23.0
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.25.1029.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.         (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                            - New camera mvBlueCOUGAR-XD107G with sensor IMX420.
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - Improved configuration speed of sequencer.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-1020G/C, mvBlueFOX3-1020aG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X104eG/C: One corrupt
                              column could appear.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D)*: Block ID in legacy mode (16 bit) did not wrap correctly in
                              some special cases.
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2124G: In multi-AOI mode these cameras operated at a reduced frame
                              rate (half) and with slightly incorrect AOIs.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D) and mvBlueFOX3: When loading different trigger configurations
                              by use of "Load Active Device Settings -> From a File" it was not guaranteed
                              that the trigger settings were loaded correctly.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Opening multiple devices in parallel is much faster now.                              (all shipped packages)

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Added public interface for accessing the Opto Engineering Stepper and the Invenios    (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          Liquid Lens.                                                                          (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                        - Added new functions to load/store images in TIFF, JPEG, PNG and BMP format. TIFF and  (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                          PNG supports multi-byte thus lossless storage of formats like e.g. Mono12. For        (mvDeviceManager-lib)

                          adapters that currently receive data from at least one GEV device.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - The default value of the 'GEV_NDIS_DRIVER_INSTALL' parameter for the installer is now (mvGenTL_Acquire*.msi)
                          'yes' in order to restore the previous behaviour of custom installations.
                        - An EULA has been added to mvIMPACT Acquire that needs to be accepted before you can   (all shipped packages)
                          install the software.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Certain combinations of AOI and pitch could result in crashes in the mvDisplay        (mvDisplay-lib)
                          library on 32-bit Windows systems.
                        - Potential freeze when using mvBlueFOX devices with no on-board memory in parallel,    (DirectShow_acquire.ax)
                          in combinations that exceed the total bandwidth limit of the USB channel.
                        - Storing properties containing binary data in a setting did not always work.           (mvPropHandling-lib)
                          This did e.g. result in FFC calibration data not being written to a XML-file.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.15.1)
                        - When capturing data with 'ImageProcessingMode' set to 'ipmProcessLatestOnly' while    (all shipped packages)
                          the flat field filter or the dark current filter are in calibration mode dropped
                          frames did result in incomplete calibration results.

01.06.2017  2.21.0
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.21.833.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.          (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                            - 'BalanceWhiteAuto' and 'BlackLevelAuto' automatically switch back from
                              e.g. 'Once' to 'Off' once the calibration has been performed.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Added command to reset the PHY and LINK error counters.
                            - mvBlueFOX3, mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D): Added possibility to calculate SHA1
                              hash of firmware file currently saved in camera. 
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X105G/C: Minimum width changed from 16 to 80.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X, mvBlueCOUGAR-XD, mvBlueFOX3: cameras start with

                            - mvBlueFOX3: Show correct DeviceUserID and DeviceUserData after returning from
                              standby mode.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - All libraries now use thread local storage to store the last error information.       (all shipped packages)
                          As a result much better exception messages can be generated now.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Improved support for 3rd party GenICam devices when using the sequencer wizard.       (wxPropView)
                        - Improved support for 3rd party devices that did not change the 'chunk_layout_id' when (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          the PayloadSize did change.
                        - Improved support for 3rd party devices that did support the chunk mode without        (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          specifying at least one chunk feature and a chunk port in their XML file.
                        - Internal migration to libusb 1.0.21.                                                  (mvGenTL_Acquire-*.tgz )

                          device that has already been closed. (Linux only).
                        - For GEV streams where the trailer did arrive before the first payload packet these    (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          buffers have sometimes been tagged as incomplete even though all data has been
                          captured when the socket driver was used.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.20.0)
                        - Loading BMP files without the FreeImage library did fail when the bitmap file did     (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                          specify a negative height(which actually means the image is NOT stored upside down).

                        - Potential crash when closing a DirectShow application in which the properties dialog  (DirectShow_acquire.ax)
                          has been opened at least once.
                        - Lists below a selector can not be displayed correctly. This is a wxWidgets            (wxPropView)
                          limitation. Such lists are now treated like if 'Settings -> Property Grid -> Use
                          Selector Grouping' is switched off.

01.05.2017  2.20.0

                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - Reading CounterValueAtReset did not work without reading CounterValue first.
                            - mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-XD: CounterValueAtReset wasn't updated on

                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D)104/204(a(12)/b)G/C: mvResultingFramerate was not reached for
                              mvAcquisitionFrameRateLimitMode = mvDeviceMaxSensorThroughput.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X102eG/C/GE, mvBlueFOX3-1013G/C, mvBlueFOX3-1020aG/C: Due to
                              compatibility reasons former device clock frequencies are available again.
                              (Bug introduced in version 2.15.578.0)
                            - mvBlueFOX3-1012b/dG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X102b/dG/C: MaxValue for

                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X/XD: Camera could crash after writing userfile.
                            - Corrupt images could occur when changing width or height while sequencer mode
                              is on.

                        UPDATES:
                        - All the GenICam nodemaps of the GenTL Producer comply with the GenICam GenTL SFNC     (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          1.1.1 now. See 'Porting existing code' section in the manual for additional
                          information.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Examples for Visual Studio 2005 are no longer shipped as part of the installation.    (all shipped MSI-based packages)
                          Visual Studio 2005 is no longer supported by mvIMPACT Acquire.
                        - All modules belonging to mvIMPACT Acquire are now build with the /DYNAMICBASE and     (all shipped MSI-based packages)

                          'dpfm3x3Median' after calibrating or when defective pixel data is detected inside
                          the devices non-volatile memory while it used to be 'dpfmOff'.
                        - Timestamp_us in the request info is based on QueryPerformanceCounter now.             (low level mvHYPERION driver, Windows, version 2.1.45.53)
                        - Only supported request info features will be visible now. Features which are not      (all shipped packages)
                          supported will also have the 'cfInvisible' flag set for the corresponding property
                          within the 'RequestInfoConfiguration' class.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - New menu entry 'Settings -> Image Display -> Configure Images Per Display Count'      (wxPropView)
                          added. It allows to display multiple images displayed in a single large buffer. This
                          might e.g. be useful for line scan applications to reconstruct a large image showing
                          the complete object of interest.
                        - Added class mv.impact.acquire.GenICam.DevFileStream for convenient file access for    (mv.impact.acquire.dll)

                          the whole image.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - The minimum value of 'ValueCount' in 'LUTOperations/LUTs/LUT-<index>' in interpolated (all shipped packages)
                          was 1 instead of 2 and setting it to 1 could result in a crash.
                        - On some Linux system the ARP request mechanism did not function properly. This could  (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          lead e.g. to the auto-configure IP in mvIPConfigure to fail.
                        - Made NDIS 6.x based GEV filter driver 'header-data split' aware. This fixes problems  (mvGigECapture2.sys, version 3.0.3.57)
                          with jumbo frames on certain network interfaces where images could not be captured
                          when using large packet sizes.
                        - After canceling the 'Quick Setup' wizard, erroneous values were written into the      (wxPropView)
                          ColorTwist matrices, resulting in greyscale-like images when a ColorTwist matrix
                          was enabled again.
                        - Unhandled exception when using the 'Quick Setup' wizard, with mvBlueFOX devices.      (wxPropView)
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.19.0)
                        - Constantly calling DMR_Init and DMR_Close or creating and deleting instances of       (mvDeviceManager-lib)
                          mvIMPACT::acquire::DeviceManager did cause the 'Path' variable of the calling process
                          to get longer and longer(Windows only).
                        - When loading a stored setting the calibration data for the flat field and dark        (all shipped packages)

                          (Bug introduced in version 2.17.1)
                        - On Windows 8 or higher the 'DeviceLinkSpeed' property of the 'InterfaceModule' class  (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          did report USB2 speed for U3V devices connected with super speed.
                        - Bitshifting in 10-bit YUV pixel formats now only affects the luminance (Y) component. (mvDisplay-lib)
                          This eliminates wrong colors due to the shifting affecting the chroma components too.

21.03.2017  2.19.0
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.19.711.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.          (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                            - When not using ANY of the AOI affecting features 'OffsetX' and 'OffsetY' can
                              be modified at runtime when streaming with an activated sequencer now.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD204(a/a12/b)G/C, mvBlueFOX3-2024(a)G/C: DecimationVertical can be
                              used separate from BinningHorizontal or DecimationHorizontal.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Camera could crash if USB connection was disconnected and reconnected
                              while the camera was in standby mode.
                            - Changing area dimensions in mvMultiAreaMode or switching off mvMultiAreaMode led
                              to corrupt images.
                            - 'mvAreaEnable' as it affects the 'PayloadSize' must become read-only when
                              'TLParamsLocked' is set.
                            - 'mvMultiAreaMode' did not specify the 'streamable' attribute.
                            - Selecting zero areas in multi-area mode crashed the camera under some
                              conditions.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D): SequencerMode: Wrong exposure times could occur when using
                              very small exposure times.
                            - GEV test packets are send now even if the host application did not specify the
                              "don't fragment" bit in the SCPS register.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X1010C, mvBlueFOX-1100C: ReverseX led to wrong colors.

                              not be configured correctly in combination with BinningHorizontal.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Some function have been declared deprecated:                                          (mvDeviceManager.h)
                          - OBJ_IsSettingAvailable, use DMR_IsSettingAvailable instead.
                          - OBJ_DeleteSetting, use DMR_DeleteSetting instead.

                        UPDATES:
                        - When running in chunk mode with the 'Image' chunk disabled the driver will use less   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          memory now.
                        - Using mvMultiAreaMode of the camera can lead to corrupt images unless updating
                          firmware to 2.19.xxx.x or greater.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Initial version of the 'Multi AOI' wizard added.                                      (wxPropView)
                        - Added new command line parameters to enable/disable the filter driver on one or       (mvGigEConfigure)
                          multiple network interfaces. See tool output window for details.
                        - Added new command line parameter to configure whether the NDIS filter driver shall    (mvGenTL_Acquire*.msi)
                          be installed automatically or not. See 'Installation from private setup routines' and
                          search for 'GEV_NDIS_DRIVER_INSTALL' for details.
                        - Whenever a new log-file is created (or and old one is overwritten) the previous file  (all shipped packages)
                          will be moved to <fullPath.bak>. So now the log-output of the last 2 sessions of
                          mvIMPACT Acquire will be available.
                        - Added 'mvLensCalibrationEnable' property to
                          mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::AcquisitionControl (C++) and                              (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          mv.impact.acquire.GenICam.AcquisitionControl (.NET)                                   (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                        - 'SequencerSetStart' can now be explicitly set in the sequencer wizard.                (wxPropView)
                        - Capture settings can be stored in RAM now. See description of the function            (all shipped packages)
                          'saveCurrentSettingOnStack' of the FunctionInterface class for one way of using this.
                        - New functions added to API:
                          - C API: DMR_IsSettingAvailable, DMR_DeleteSetting                                    (mvDeviceManager-lib)
                          - C++ API: mvIMPACT::acquire::FunctionInterface got the following new member          (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                            functions: deleteSettingFromStack, deleteSetting, isSettingAvailable,
                            loadSettingFromStack, loadAndDeleteSettingFromStack, saveCurrentSettingOnStack.
                          - .NET API: mv.impact.acquire.FunctionInterface got the following new member          (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                            functions: deleteSettingFromStack, deleteSetting, isSettingAvailable,
                            loadSettingFromStack, loadAndDeleteSettingFromStack, saveCurrentSettingOnStack.
                        - New command line parameter added: 'fullscreen' or 'fs'.                               (wxPropView)

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Running the ColorTwist filter on Linux with RGB planar formats could result in        (all shipped Linux packages)
                          crashes.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.13.6)
                        - On some occasions when a mvBlueFOX camera would come out of the powered down state    (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                          the driver would fail to acquire images.
                        - Linux installer scripts now take unused memory into account before spawning multiple  (all shipped Linux packages)
                          threads for parallel compilation of mv sources during installation. This eliminates
                          potential hangs during installation of MATRIX VISION Linux drivers due to lack of 
                          free memory on the target platform.
                        - Starting the acquisition did reset the current scroll position of the display window  (wxPropView)
                          to the left upper corner of the image.
                        - When pressing 'Cancel' in the 'Quick Setup' wizard, the exposure time would be set    (wxPropView)
                          equal to the AutoExposureUpperLimit, instead of it's default value on some occasions.
                        - Potential crash when closing the device properties dialog from a DirectShow           (DirectShow_acquire.ax)   
                          application.

09.02.2017  2.18.3
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.18.651.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.          (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2024(a)G/C, mvBlueFOX3-2032(a)G/C, mvBlueFOX3-2051(a)G/C,
                              mvBlueFOX3-2089G/C, mvBlueFOX3-2124G/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D)104d/f/h/iG/C,
                              mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D)105a/bG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X109bG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X1012bG/C:
                              Multi area mode implemented as described in the respective sensor specification.
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2032(a)G/C, mvBlueFOX3-2051(a)G/C, mvBlueFOX3-2089(a)G/C,
                              mvBlueFOX3-2124(a)G/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D)104h/iG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D)105a/bG/C,
                              mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D)109bG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D)1012bG/C: Increments for Height and
                              OffsetY increased to 4.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueFOX3 (all models): cameras did not start correctly if the USB connection
                              was disconnected and reconnected while the camera was in standby; this could
                              also happen if the host was switched off and on again while an externally
                              powered camera was in standby mode.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Adapted firmware update procedure to new product naming scheme.                       (mvDeviceConfigure)

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - New properties published in API:
                          C++: mvIMPACT::acquire::Device::manufacturerSpecificInformation,                      (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          mvIMPACT::acquire::SystemSettings::featurePollingEnable,

                          mvIMPACT::acquire::SystemSettings::methodPollingMaxRetryCount.
                          .NET: mv.impact.acquire.Device.manufacturerSpecificInformation,                       (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                          mv.impact.acquire.SystemSettings.featurePollingEnable,
                          mv.impact.acquire.SystemSettings.featurePollingInterval_ms,
                          mv.impact.acquire.SystemSettings.methodPollingInterval_ms,
                          mv.impact.acquire.SystemSettings.methodPollingMaxRetryCount.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Data-streams coming from a GEV 2.x device with 64-bit block ID switched off have not  (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          not been decoded correctly when the socket driver was active.
                        - Legacy 16-bit block ID mode is only used when a GEV 2.x device actually claims to     (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          support it.
                        - It is no longer possible to assign an invalid persistent IPv4 address to a GEV        (mvIPConfigure)
                          device.

02.02.2017  2.18.2
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.17.641.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.          (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X104fG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X104iG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X105bG/C:
                              support for extended horizontal and vertical Binning/Decimation up to 16x16
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X104dG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X104fG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X105bG/C,
                              mvBlueCOUGAR-X104iG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X1012bG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X109bG/C,
                              mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104dG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-XD105aG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104hG/C,
                              mvBlueCOUGAR-XD1012bG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-XD109bG/C, mvBlueFOX3-2024G/C,
                              mvBlueFOX3-2024aG/C, mvBlueFOX3-2051G/C, mvBlueFOX3-2051aG/C,
                              mvBlueFOX3-2032G/C, mvBlueFOX3-2032aG/C, mvBlueFOX3-2124G/C,
                              mvBlueFOX3-2124aG/C, mvBlueFOX3-2089G/C, mvBlueFOX3-2089aG/C:
                              support for OffsetX and OffsetY in sequencer
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D), mvBlueFOX3: Added support for the 'chunk layout id'
                              feature. This update requires mvIMPACT Acquire 2.18.1 or greater!
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D): Added support for 'ExtendedChunk' mode. This update
                              requires mvIMPACT Acquire 2.18.1 or greater!
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - mvBlueFOX3: When the image itself is not transferred in chunk mode the
                              payload type will be 'Chunk' not 'Image Extended Chunk' now.
                            - All features that affect the payload size can no longer be disabled via
                              'SequencerFeatureEnable'. So if the sequencer is used, all these properties
                              are always part of the sequencer sets.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - When the sequencer was running the exposure time value was sometimes
                              taken from the stored sequencer set even if
                              'SequencerFeatureEnable[SequencerFeatureSelector]' for 'ExposureTime' was set
                              to false.
                            - mvBlueFOX3-1020aG/C: Frame rate was halved for special AOI and exposure time
                              settings.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - The 'mvIMPACT_AcquireExecutablesPrerequisites' merge module became a central          (all shipped MSI based packages)
                          requirement for all installations. As a consequence it will always be installed now.
                          This will make redistributing custom installations in need of the mvDisplay-lib much
                          easier but will not affect others.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Improved execution speed for GenICam property function calls. Previous versions did   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          sometimes read features selected by a selector when changing the selector value even
                          if the application never accessed the selected features.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - The settings of all devices currently opened in wxPropView will be added to the       (wxPropView)
                          ZIP-archive containing the log-files now.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Sometimes 'mvBlueFOX-MLC202bx' and 'mvBlueFOX-MLC202dx' devices did not start         (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                          properly on Windows 10. As a result no images could be acquired even though
                          communication with the sensor does work properly.
                        - In Linux systems, under some circumstances a libusb segmentation fault could occur.   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.17.3)
                        - When a 'SequencerFeatureEnable' property was read-only the sequencer wizard could     (wxPropView)
                          crash.
                        - Fixed an issue where the property grid did not receive the focus when expanding or    (wxPropView)
                          collapsing items in the tree. As a result using the scrollwheel of the mouse did not
                          scroll within the tree but e.g. did select another device
                        - The sequencer wizard did not dynamically respond to changes in the properties thus    (wxPropView)
                          e.g. changing 'BinningHorizontal' did not automatically update the limits for
                          'Width'.

20.01.2017  2.18.1
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.16.624.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.          (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)

                              mvBlueCOUGAR-XD109bG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-XD1012bG/C:
                              Added Support for Vertical Binning(SUM)/Decimation(AVERAGE)
                            - Added BinningHorizontalMode, BinningVerticalMode, DecimationHorizontalMode and
                              DecimationVerticalMode properties.
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-1031C, mvBlueFOX3-1100G/C:
                              For compatibility reasons: AcquisitionFrameRate is not used in trigger mode.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - 'SequencerMode' becomes read-only now when streaming is active.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: AcquisitionFrameRate was not handled correctly when using UserSets.

                        UPDATES:
                        - The GenTL producer is now fully compliant with the current GenTL validation           (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          framework.
                        - The DirectShow interface related header files will be installed by default now.       (all shipped MSI based packages)
                        - When using the merge modules supporting Windows 10 no longer needs special treatment. (all shipped MSI based packages)
                        - Improved performance when dealing with chunk data delivered by devices supporting the (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          chunk layout ID feature.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Multiple display windows can be created and deleted dynamically now(see               (wxPropView)
                          'Settings->Image Display->Configure Image Display Count'). The sequencer wizard has
                          an 'Auto-Assign Displays To Sets' button now.

                            - mvBlueFOX3-1100G/C : Enabling FrameStart trigger no longer switch to global reset
                              mode automatically.
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2024aG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X104fG/C: Minimal exposure time is now only
                              10 usec.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueFOX3 devices at certain temperatures sometimes did not boot correctly.
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2024G/C: BalanceWhiteAuto, GainAuto and ExposureAuto features no
                              longer reduce the maximum frame rate if activated.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Restored old (pre 2.17.0) bit shift behaviour.                                        (mvDisplay-lib)
                        - Added a check for the presence of KB3033929 which is needed on Windows 7 and          (all shipped MSI based packages)
                          earlier for the processing of SHA256 signatures introduced in version 2.16.0.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - ARMv8-a (Aarch64) support added for mvGenTL_Acquire and mvBlueFOX. This will add      (mvBlueFOX-ARM64_gnu-*.tgz)
                          support for various Aarch64 platforms running at least ubuntu 14.04 or a compatible   (mvGenTL_Acquire-ARM64_gnu-*.tgz )
                          system.
                        - For Windows 8 and greater the 'FullScreen' option in wxPropView became available.     (wxPropView)
                          The image will be rendered using Direct3D 9 now.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Splashscreen of GUI tools is now displayed correctly on Linux systems. Furthermore on (wxPropView)
                          both linux and windows systems it is no longer 'always-on-top', thus no longer hides  (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          clickable dialog boxes.                                                               (mvIPConfigure)
                        - Fixed potential crash when opening the Sequencer Wizard for GenICam devices.          (wxPropView)

                        - Fixed an issue where the property grid did not always receive the focus when clicking (wxPropView)
                          on it. As a result e.g. clicking on the property grid after selecting a device using
                          the scrollwheel of the mouse did not scroll within the tree but did select another
                          device.
                        - Switching to 'FullScreen' mode on Windows 7 or smaller or changing the setting        (wxPropView)
                          'Settings -> Property Grid -> Create Editors With Sliders' no longer raises an

                        - Firmware version 2.12.426.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.          (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D) (res. > 1600x1200): Storing of defective pixel positions
                              possible.
                            - New cameras: mvBlueFOX3-2124aG/C, mvBlueFOX3-2089aG/C,
                              mvBlueCOUGAR-X1012bG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X109bG/C,
                              mvBlueCOUGAR-XD1012bG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-XD109bG/C
                            - mvBlueFOX3: LED can be switched off
                            - mvBlueFOX3: camera can automatically switch to standby if inactive
                          Restrictions:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2024aG/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-X104fG/C: Minimal exposure time increased to
                              30 usec.
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - BF3-2xx: Enhanced sequencer mode: Sequencered images with BinningHorizontal
                              and/or BinningVertical may now be captured at higher frame rates if sensor
                              supports this increase.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: settings (except LUT values) are restored after standby
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2xxx devices at certain temperatures sometimes did not boot
                              correctly.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Incorrectly configured GigE Vision devices (no matching IPv4 address or netmask) do   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          no longer delay 'updateDeviceList' calls. As a result starting the applications like
                          wxPropView, mvIPConfigure and mvDeviceConfigure will start much faster now.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Changed name of NDIS 6.x based filter driver files from 'mvGigECapture.*' to          (mvGigECapture2.sys, version 3.0.2.56)
                          'mvGigECapture2.*' in order to allow easier switching between the NDIS 5.x and the
                          NDIS 6.x drivers.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Added 'mvDefectivePixelCorrectionControl' class to GenICam namespace                  (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                                                                                                                (mv.impact.acquire.display.dll)
                        - Added properties 'DefectivePixelOffsetX' and 'DefectivePixelOffsetY' and commands     (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          'DefectivePixelReadFromDevice' and 'DefectivePixelWriteToDevice' to class             (mv.impact.acquire.display.dll)
                          'ImageProcessing.

                        - New color correction matrices added: 'cticmmBlueCOUGAR_Xx09bC_WPPLS',                 (all shipped packages)
                          'cticmmBlueCOUGAR_Xx012bC_WPPLS', 'cticmmBlueCOUGAR_XDx09bC_WPPLS',
                          'cticmmBlueCOUGAR_XDx012bC_WPPLS', 'cticmmBlueFOX3_x124aC_WPPLS'. They will be used
                          by mvBlueCOUGAR-X_x09bC, mvBlueCOUGAR-X_x012bC, mvBlueCOUGAR-XDx09bC,
                          mvBlueCOUGAR-XDx012bC and mvBlueFOX3_x124aC devices respectively.
                        - MATRIX VISION GenICam devices supporting the 'mvDeviceStandbyTimeout' feature will    (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          exchange heartbeat messages with the device when this feature is active to prevent
                          the device from moving into power down mode while the application is running.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Changing features that have impact on the value of 'PayloadSize' AFTER queuing at     (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          least one buffer and BEFORE calling 'acquisitionStart' in chunk mode could result
                          in buffers being returned to the application with an incorrect 'Request::imageSize'
                          value (just the size of the image data without the additional chunk data space was
                          reported then).
                        - Unplugging or rebooting a U3V device with event support with an open driver instance  (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          could cause a handle leak on Windows.
                        - Potential blue screen (BSOD) when binding the filter driver didn't succeed.           (mvGigECapture2.sys, version 3.0.2.56)
                        - Removing the GigE Vision filter driver when uninstalling the mvIMPACT Acquire package (mvGenTL_Acquire*.msi)
                          did not work.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.6.3)
                        - downgrading the GigE Vision filter driver from the NDIS 6.x back to the NDIS 5.x      (mvGigECapture2.sys, version 3.0.2.56)

04.08.2016  2.17.0
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.11.383.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.          (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-1031C: HDR mode can be enabled
                            - New features published: 'mvU3VLNKErrorCount' and 'mvU3VPHYErrorCount'. Both
                              features can be found in the 'TransportLayer' category. They provide information
                              about the quality of the USB connection.
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - Deprecated some features with respect to the latest SFNC 2.3:
                              'GevGGVCPPendingTimeout' (use 'DeviceLinkCommandTimeout' instead),
                              'GevGVCPHeartbeatDisable'(use 'DeviceLinkHeartbeatMode' instead)
                              'mvAcquisitionFrameRateEnable' (use 'AcquisitionFrameRateEnable' instead)
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - BF3-2xx: BF3-2xxx: The first image after an acquisition start was sometimes
                              still using the old exposure time.
                            - BCX: Sometimes the camera could crash while streaming to a multicast address.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Migration to wxWidgets 3.x. All wxWidgets based applications are built using          (all shipped packages)
                          wxWidgets 3.x now. Apart from wxPropView all applications can still be built using
                          at least wxWidgets 2.6. However wxPropView uses the wxPropertyGrid classes which have
                          been added to wxWidgets 3.0 thus here at least this version is a hard requirement.
                          The old wxPropGrid is no longer shipped with mvIMPACT Acquire.
                        - Migration to an NDIS 6.x based GEV filter driver on Windows Vista or newer. This      (mvGigECapture.sys, version 3.0.1.55)
                          new filter driver can be used on Windows 10 as well now. The NDIS 5.x based driver    (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.2.0.54)
                          will still be installed on older Windows systems not supporting the NDIS 6.x
                          framework.
                        - Color correction matrices 'cticmmBlueCOUGAR_XDx04dC_WPPLS',                           (all shipped packages)

                          'cticmmBlueFOX3_x089C_WPPLS' and 'cticmmBlueFOX3_x089aC_WPPLS' updated.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Bit shifting images in wxPropView with multi-byte pixel formats now displays the      (mvDisplay-lib)
                          actual bit of the pixels. This might result in solarize effects.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Added support for pixel format RGB888Planar.                                          (all shipped packages)
                        - A new CameraLink configuration with 16bits per pixel and 2 pixels per clock that is   (mvHYPERION-lib)
                          not included in the CameraLink Standard is now supported.
                        - 'Copy To Clipboard' and 'Set From Clipboard' option added to the property grids       (wxPropView)
                          context menu.
                        - ContinuousCaptureToUserMemory can be built with OpenCV support now and has been added (all shipped packages)
                          to the Linux installation packages as well.
                        - New constructors added to mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::SystemModule                    (mvDeviceManager-lib)
                          and mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::InterfaceModule. They can be used without any valid   (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          pointer to a device.
                        - wxPropView and mvDeviceConfigure will warn on incorrectly set up GenICam devices when (wxPropView)
                          trying to open one of these devices. In previous versions these devices could only be (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          seen using mvIPConfigure which is not the first application you would normally
                          launch.
                        - New property 'StatusLEDEnable' published under 'SystemSettings' for mvBlueFOX         (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                          devices.
                        - New test image format added: 'vdtmMovingRGB888PlanarImage'.                           (mvVirtualDevice-lib)

                        BUGS FIXED:

                        - The 'GenICam' namespace now contains the full SFNC 2.3 feature set.                   (mvIMPACT_acquire_GenICam.h)
                                                                                                                (mv.impact.acquire.dll)

19.05.2016  2.16.0
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.9.284.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.           (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                            - Added SHA1 hash to the GenICam file name for GEV devices in order
                              to speed up device initialisation time by avoiding redundant file downloads.
                            - New cameras: mvBlueFOX3-2089G/C
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - Removed all impl-bits from the chunk data to allow offline processing of
                              chunk buffers.
                            - mvBlueFOX3 devices will automatically change their 'mvDevicePowerMode' property
                              back to 'mvActive' when opening the a device currently in standby mode.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2xxx: Some exposure times led to lower frame rates than expected.
                            - Sometimes, after booting host and a mvBlueCOUGAR-XD simultaneously (2 links),
                              opening the device will fail.
                            - 'SequencerSetNext' no longer requires an explicit call to 'SequencerSetSave'
                              in order to become effective.

                        UPDATES:
                        - *.msi and *.cat files are now signed with a SHA-256 certificate and is timestamped by (all shipped MSI based packages)
                          a SHA-1 timestamp server. All other files will be dual signed with SHA-1 and SHA-256
                          signatures as since 01.01.2016 tools like e.g. Internet explorer will issue a
                          warning otherwise. This may result in the 'Always trust software from MATRIX VISION'
                          question to be displayed again. This may require KB3033929 and KB2921916 to be
                          installed on Windows 7 and Windows server 2008. Please have a look in the 'Known
                          issues' section of the mvIMPACT Acquire manual.
                        - Initialisation speed for GenICam compliant devices improved. Opening a MATRIX VISION  (mvGenTLProducer)
                          GEV device is up to 350ms faster now when the GenICam file has been downloaded for    (mvGenTLConsumer)
                          the first time(requires a firmware update). For U3V devices supporting the SHA1 hash
                          the initialisation is up to 450ms faster now.
                        - Import speed for large LUTs from *.csv-files improved.                                (wxPropView)
                        - The display update frame rate can be configured via 'Settings -> Set Update           (wxPropView)
                          Frequency' now. This fixes the problem of a freezing GUI or missing status bar
                          updates at high frame rates.
                        - The 'Detailed Feature Information' dialogue contains informations about the binary    (wxPropView)
                          data size and the max. binary data size for properties specifying the
                          'cfContainsBinaryData' flag now.
                        - 'Show Feature Change Time Consumption' option added to 'Settings -> Property Grid'.   (wxPropView)
                        - Execution speed from and to 'ibpfYUV411_UYYVYY_Packed' format improved.               (all shipped packages)
                        - The capture pin property dialogue will automatically expand the device feature tree   (DirectShow_acquire.ax)
                          now as wxPropView does it when opening a device.
                        - mvHYPERION Linux kernel driver and the respective installers now support kernel 4.0.  (low level mvHYPERION driver, Linux)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Interface layout 'dilGeneric' has been removed from the public interface. It has been (all shipped packages)
                          declared deprecated for almost 4 years now. This might break existing binaries
                          and will require changes in the source during rebuilds. Systems depending on the
                          generic interface layout will NO LONGER WORK starting from this version of mvIMPACT
                          Acquire. Please update your code as described in the documentation.
                        - When opening a GenICam device, an AcquisitionStop command will now be sent, just in   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          case the previous process using the device crashed unexpectedly.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Automatically joining multicast groups of GEV devices can be disabled now via the     (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          property mvAutoJoinMulticastGroups.
                        - New color correction matrices added: 'cticmmBlueFOX3_x124C_WPPLS',                    (all shipped packages)
                          'cticmmBlueFOX3_x089C_WPPLS' and 'cticmmBlueFOX3_x089aC_WPPLS'. These will be
                          used by 'mvBlueFOX3_x124C', 'mvBlueFOX3_x089C' and 'mvBlueFOX3_x089aC' devices
                          respectively.
                        - Initial version of the 'Sequencer Control' wizard added. For devices running with the (wxPropView)
                          GenICam interface layout this wizard will allow convenient access to sequencer
                          control related features.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - The 'TapSort' filter for 1Y2 and 2YE data did not re-order the data correctly when    (mvTITANfg-lib)
                          operated in image processing mode 'ipoMinimizeMemoryUsage'.                           (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)
                                                                                                                (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                        - 'TLGetInfo' did return 'INFO_DATATYPE_INT32' instead of 'INFO_DATATYPE_UINT32' for    (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          the data type query of 'TL_INFO_GENTL_VER_MAJOR' and 'TL_INFO_GENTL_VER_MINOR'.
                        - Potential crash when running the de-Bayer filter on Linux.                            (all shipped packages)
                        - 'imageRequestReset' calls did not return until the current image has been generated   (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                          completely and the user defined frame delay (FrameDelay_us) did elapse, thus large
                          frame delays could block an application for a long time.
                        - Images that had a different resulting AOI than set for the device(e.g. because of an  (DirectShow_acquire.ax)
                          enabled rotation or scaling filter) have been delivered with incorrect width and
                          height.
                        - Calling 'FunctionInterface::getCurrentCaptureBufferLayout' when the rotation filter   (all shipped packages)
                          was active did return a width and height than was 1 pixel and line smaller than the
                          actual resulting image.
                        - Caching of the GenICam XML files did not work correctly on Linux systems.             (mvGenTLProducer.cti)

                              Bug introduced in version 2.6.148.0.
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2032G, mvBlueFOX3-2051G: Although mvAcquisitionFrameRateLimitMode =
                              mvDeviceLinkThroughput more than 380MByte/s were possible, which results in
                              delayed images.

                          references from your code.
                        - In case a U3V device did not recover from a reset on the control endpoint(e.g. when   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          the device firmware did crash/hang) the driver did hang when the device did continue
                          to send incorrect ACK-ids.

                        NEW FEATURES:

                              - mvBlueFOX3-2032aG/C (IMX265)
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-*: Increased event timestamp accuracy.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueFOX3: FWUpdate from 2.3 ( to 2.4 or 2.5 ) could result in unbootable
                              camera, when starting with saved UserSet.
                            - mvBlueFOX3, mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D): OffsetX and OffsetY appear correctly in the
                              image leader / image info chunk.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Migration to version 3.0.0 of the GenApi runtime.                                     (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                        - Migration to version 1.5 of the GenICam GenTL spec.                                   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                                                                                                                (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - mvDeviceConfigure will reset the 'UserSetDefault' (aka 'UserSetDefaultSelector') to   (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          'Default' during updates and will only restore the user selected values if the user
                          selects to persist the user sets during a firmware update.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - The x64 version of wxPropView no longer crashes on Windows 8.1 when opening the       (wxPropView)
                          editor for a property containing binary data. This was a bug in wxWidgets that
                          surfaced when migrating to Visual Studio 2013.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.8.0)
                        - GenICam URL cache is now properly invalidated during firmware updates and/or device   (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          resets.                                                                               (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                        - Some issues regarding auto and manual IP assignment on Windows XP systems.            (mvIPConfigure)
                        - Configuring IP settings with mvIPConfigure did fail when the GEV camera had been      (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          first recognized with an invalid IP address. This happened because some optional GEV
                          capabilities were not being recognised correctly due to the IP address mismatch.
                        - The 'Quick Setup' wizard did not always set minimum and maximum Pixelclock correctly. (wxPropView)

09.02.2016  2.14.3
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - New color correction matrices added: 'cticmmBlueFOX3_x032aC_WPPLS', 
                          'cticmmBlueFOX3_x051aC_WPPLS', 'cticmmBlueCOUGAR_Xx04iC_WPPLS'. They will be used by
                          mvBlueFOX3_x032aC, mvBlueFOX3_x051aC and 'mvBlueCOUGAR-Xx04iC' devices respectively.  (all shipped packages)

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - If working with medium or full CameraLink cameras trigger mode was not working.       (low level mvHYPERION driver, Linux)
                        - Correct error handling when requesting images larger than 512 MB.                     (low level mvHYPERION driver, Windows, version 2.1.44.52)

27.01.2016  2.14.2

                              - 'UserSetDefault' (Replaces 'UserSetDefaultSelector')
                              - All the 'GevSupported...' features (Replaced already by
                                'GevSupportedOptionSelector' and 'GevSupportedOption'.
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2024G/C, mvBlueFOX3-2051G/C, mvBlueFOX3-2032(a)G/C,

                              changed mapping of luminance LUT on grey cameras from
                              'map_10To12' to 'map_12To9' and
                              changed mapping of red,green and blue LUTs on color cameras from
                              from 'map_8To12' to 'map_10To9'
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X104eG/C, mvBlueFOX3-1020G/C, mvBlueFOX3-1020aG/C:
                              Constant time between trigger and exposure for all exposure times.
                            - Several mvBlueCOUGAR-X / mvBlueCOUGAR-XD / mvBlueFOX3:
                              CounterValueAtReset didn't yield the right value

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - In Linux systems, mknewappl.sh script no longer generates deprecated code.            (all shipped Linux packages)
                        - 'mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::ImageFormatControl::mvDigitizationMode' became           (mvIMPACT_acquire_GenICam.h)
                          'mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::ImageFormatControl::mvSensorDigitizationBitDepth' in     (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                          the public API. The Firmware did use that name anyway, thus the features in the API
                          did use an incorrect name before thus always have been invalid.
                        - DMR_ImageRequestReset did not return when a mvHYPERION board was operated in external (mvHYPERION-lib)
                          triggered mode and there was NO trigger signal on Linux.                              (low level mvHYPERION driver, Linux)
                        - Potential blue screen (BSOD) when requesting images larger than 512 MB on Windows.    (low level mvHYPERION driver, Windows)

21.12.2015  2.14.1
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.4.100.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.           (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - 'LUTValueAll' is no longer invalidated by 'LUTValue' but now set the 'noCache'
                              attribute. So now each read to 'LUTValueAll' actually reads data from the
                              device, but each write to 'LUTValue' no longer automatically reads
                              'LUTValueAll' speeding up LUT write operations significantly.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueFOX3: UserSets saved when connected to USB3 weren't available with USB2 and
                              vice versa.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Events do not have to be collected any more, even if they were
                              requested before.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X1010G/mvBlueFOX3-1100G:
                              AutoWhiteBalance to reduce chess board pattern did not work for
                              DefaultUserSet != Default.
                              AcquisitionStop at extremely small frame rates caused timeouts.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Slightly improved internal handling for the thread that updates features defining a   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          polling time in their XML file.
                        - Slightly improved color correction wizard.                                            (wxPropView)

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - New color correction matrix added: 'cticmmBlueCOUGAR_Xx05bC_WPPLS'. This will be      (all shipped packages)
                          used by 'mvBlueCOUGAR-Xx05bC' devices.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Boolean properties that specify the 'cfShouldBeDisplayedAsList' flag did not          (wxPropView)
                          correctly deal with the index parameter in wxPropView thus only element 0 could be
                          accessed correctly using the check box editors introduced in version 2.14.0.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.14.0)
                        - When enabling/disabling network or USB interfaces while pressing the 'Update Device   (wxPropView)
                          List' button in wxPropView sometimes error messages like 'An exception occurred:
                          NOT_A_PROPERTY while updating feature XYZ' was generated in the 'Output' Window.
                        - Fixed a small resource leak when interfaces did appear and vanish frequently between  (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          calls to 'DMR_UpdateDeviceList'.
                        - Potential deadlock when running a triggered acquisition with no trigger signal and    (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                          infinite timeouts for the buffers.
                        - IFOpenDevice did return a valid handle even if a particular device could not be       (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          opened and the GenTL error code was not GC_ERR_RESOURCE_IN_USE.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.12.2)
                        - Reconnect behaviour improved: Disconnecting a device and calling                      (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          'DMR_UpdateDeviceList' afterwards did result in devices not being properly            (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          reopened until 'DMR_UpdateDeviceList' was called again after plugging the device back
                          in.
                        - Minor memory leak when enumerating USB3 devices (e.g. when updating the device        (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          list).
                        - 'State' property now correctly describes a mvBlueFOX device as 'Absent' or 'Present'  (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                          after updating the device list on Linux systems.
                        - Framestart trigger in CameraLink devices will now always work, even if the camera has (mvHYPERION-lib)
                          a slow pixel clock (~20MHz).

01.12.2015  2.14.0
                        NEW FIRMWARE:
                        - Firmware version 2.3.73.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.            (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                            - New Property 'mvAcquisitionMemoryFrameCount' added. This property contains the
                              number of images currently stored in the frame buffer of the device. If this
                              value increases during normal streaming mode this could indicate a bandwidth
                              shortage.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: ColorCorrectionMatrix added.
                            - New Property 'ColorTransformationSelector' added.
                          Changed behaviour:
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Temperature resolution is .25 now.
                            - 'mvAcquisitionMemoryMaxFrameCount' declared deprecated. Use the maximum value
                              of 'mvAcquisitionMemoryFrameCount' instead.
                            - 'LUTValueAll' is no longer invalidated by 'LUTValue' but now set the 'noCache'
                              attribute. So now each read to 'LUTValueAll' actually reads data from the
                              device, but each write to 'LUTValue' no longer automatically reads
                              'LUTValueAll' speeding up LUT write operations significantly.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Negative temperature values were not shown correctly.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: DeviceLinkSpeed and mvResultingFramerate were not updated
                              correctly when switching from a USB2 connection to a USB3 connection.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X1010G/C: Camera could crash, when switching to trigger mode while
                              acquisition is on.
                            - mvBlueFOX3-1100G/C, mvBlueFOX3-1031G/C: Timeouts when switching to continuous
                              mode while acquisition is on.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X105G/C: Reducing the frame rate does no longer result in a 45
                              second interruption on the streaming channel.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Sometimes camera did not start after standby mode.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Events do not have to be collected anymore, even if they were
                              requested before.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Slightly improved update speed for cameras operated in device specific interface      (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          layout.
                        - Improved reconnection behaviour for GEV cameras that reconnect with a different       (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          IP address (e.g. LLA-configured devices ).

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - The 'Quick Setup' wizard preset "Best Quality" no longer initialises cameras at the   (wxPropView)
                          maximum possible frame rate, so that slower Interfaces (e.g. low performance 
                          USB controllers) can still show a delay-free live image.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - New attribute for features introduced: TComponentRepresentation. It can be used       (all shipped packages)
                          to create graphical user interfaces that use custom controls for features with a
                          certain behaviour(e.g. check boxes for features that only have 2 possible states or
                          sliders with logarithmic behaviour for features like exposure time). The following
                          new interface functions have been added:
                            C: OBJ_GetRepresentation, OBJ_GetRepresentationS, OBJ_RepresentationToString
                            C++: mvIMPACT::acquire::Component::representation,

                            .NET: mv.impact.acquire.Component.representation,
                                  mv.impact.acquire.Component.representationAsString.
                        - New features published:

                          ImageRequestSingle was delayed.
                        - Sometimes only parts of an image were captured when buffers where queued and then the (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          acquisition engine was stopped(e.g. due to a power cycle on the device). Then after
                          the connection to the device was re-established a new acquisition was set up with
                          smaller buffer sizes. Then when stopping and restarting the acquisition with a buffer
                          size requirement larger than the current one but smaller or equal to the initial one
                          only data up to the previous buffer size was captured.
                        - The status bar now correctly remembers its own visibility                             (wxPropView)
                        - Reset behaviour of U3V devices improved on Linux systems.                             (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                        - When working with multiple instances of the mvIMPACT::acquire::DeviceManager object   (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          the mvIMPACT::acquire::Device::isOpen function did not always return the correct

                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104G/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104a12G, mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104bG/C:
                              Additional FrameEndEvents could occur at AcquisitionStart.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104d, X104f, mvBlueFOX3-2024, 2024a:
                              In very rare cases booting could lead to corrupt images.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X1010, mvBlueFOX3-1100: Wrong exposure event, when switching to
                              trigger mode.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X1010, mvBlueFOX3-1100: First trigger failed when using exposure
                              times > 210 ms.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Writing invalid(unaligned) values to the streaming size registers
                              will properly return U3V_STATUS_SI_PAYLOAD_SIZE_NOT_ALIGNED now.

                        - Support for non-camera devices not supporting the usual set of mandatory features     (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          added.
                        - Legacy GenICam XML files specifying invalid register addresses (above the 32-bit      (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          range) are supported now if the upper bits of the address definitions can be ignored
                          for GigE Vision.
                        - New color correction matrices added: 'cticmmBlueCOUGAR_XDx05aC_WPPLS' and             (all shipped packages)
                          'cticmmBlueFOX3_x051C_WPPLS'. These will be used by 'mvBlueCOUGAR-XDx05aC' and 
                          'mvBlueFOX3_x051C' devices respectively.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Rounding of properties defining a minimum value that did not align with the step      (mvPropHandling-lib)
                          width was not done correctly. So a feature with a valid value range from 3 to 18 with
                          a step width of 5 did not allow to set values of 3, 8, 13 and 18 but only 5, 10 and
                          15.
                        - Fixed an internal issue resulting in tons of 'EProperty: Property 'PixelsPerCycle'    (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)
                          does not support this value type(-2016(PROPHANDLING_INVALID_PROP_VALUE_TYPE))' log    (mvTITANfg-lib)

                          (Bug introduced in version 1.11.1)
                        - If working with medium or full CameraLink cameras then the mvHYPERION needs to        (low level mvHYPERION driver, Linux)
                          synchronize the input channels. This will be done before enabling a request. Under
                          certain conditions Linux signalled a blocking function call inside the kernel
                          module during this synchronization step.
                        - mvLogFileViewer works with up-to-date browsers again.                                 (all shipped packages)

                        - Storing a setting in XML format without specifying a file extension did not add       (mvPropHandling)
                          '.xml' to the file name if a '.' was part of the path.
                        - GenICam devices defining the 'DeviceRegistersStreamingStart' and/or                   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          'DeviceRegistersStreamingEnd' features as 'not writeable' did cause a crash when
                          trying to load or store a setting.
                        - On Windows multiple entries in the list of network adapters with the same MAC but     (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          different IPv4 addresses did result in incorrect interface information after the 2nd
                          call to 'TLUpdateInterfaceList'. This could e.g. happen if a 'Microsoft Virtual WiFi
                          Miniport Adapter' was present in the system.

                          (Bug introduced in version 2.13.5)
                        - 'BandwidthConsumed' did not state the actual bandwidth consumed on the wire, but the  (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                          amount of data after the image processing on the host.
                        - Properties specifying the 'cfContainsBinaryData' flag did not always return the       (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          correct value when calling the 'binaryDataBufferMaxSize' function when the property
                          was not accessible when the device was initialised.
                        - If the image chunk was switched off after images have been captured sometimes the old (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          image data was displayed instead of an empty buffer with just chunk data.

                            - CCDs: SW-Trigger could fail if send immediately after enabling trigger mode.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Gamma filter in Windows and Linux systems has been optimized to run on multiple       (all shipped packages)

                        - The 'Quick Setup' wizard now provides color and greyscale pre-sets, tuned for quality (wxPropView)
                          or speed.

                        UPDATES:
                        - The 'LostImagesCount' property counts gaps in the block ID continuity for U3V devices (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          now.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Fixed bug introduced in version 2.13.0 with mvBlueFOX(-M)12x CCD gain settings update.        (mvBlueFOX-lib)

                          the device. Fixed in matrixfg.sys, version 1.114.
                        - When working with the socket implementation in setups where the first payload packet  (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          processed was the potential smaller one from the end of a block(e.g. in LAG mode
                          where data tends to arrive out of order) blocks sometimes did contain corrupt data
                          with no error being reported to the upper layers.
                        - When opening a U3V device with event support an error message was written to the      (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          log output because of an incorrect initialisation order.

03.09.2015  2.13.4
                        UPDATES:
                        - Detection of lost frames due to buffer under-runs improved.                           (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.1.1.52)

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Firmware version 1.6.475.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.           (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueFOX3: AGC value can now reach up to 48dB for IMX sensors.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD124a, XD126, XD129: maximum image height was incorrect
                              after closing and opening the camera.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104d, X104f, mvBlueFOX3-2024, 2024a:
                              - in very rare cases switching the image format led to corrupt images.
                              - when using LUT the output image no longer has a "solarize" effect.
                            - pending ACKs are now being sent when writing to 'mvUserData', 'DeviceUserName',
                              'UserSetDefaultSelector' IP-configuration registers etc.
                        - The 'Quick Setup' wizard can now be forcefully shown/hidden by using the 'qsw'        (wxPropView)
                          cmd-line parameter in wxPropView. This feature overrides the default settings for the
                          current session but it does not overwrite them.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - The 'TapSort' filter for 2X-2YE data did not re-order the data correctly when         (mvTITANfg-lib)
                          'ImageProcessingOptimization' was set to 'ipoMinimizeMemoryUsage'.                    (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)
                                                                                                                (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                        - Calling 'imageRequestReset' from a thread running in parallel to a thread calling     (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          'imageRequestSingle' could result in a deadlock on Windows for U3V devices.
                        - mvDeviceConfigure did not backup and restore settings correctly if a device e.g. had  (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          a valid UserSet2 and UserSet4, but no UsetSet1 and/or UserSet3.
                        - The 'Quick Setup' wizard now correctly disables features if they are not available on (wxPropView)
                          the running platform.

13.08.2015  2.13.3
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Firmware version 1.6.461.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.           (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          Changed Behaviour:
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD124aG/C: Internal pre-gain reduced by 5dB. This will result in
                              slightly darker but less noisier images after a firmware update.
                            - New default: BalanceWhiteAuto = Off.
                            - All sensors now have default white balance values corresponding to a light
                              temperature of 5000K.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X/XD: The 'UserFile', selectable in File Access Control, is be
                              preserved during firmware updates.
                            - AcquisitionFrameRate property does not change its value any more, only by user
                              input. New maximum values provided for this property. The maximum frame rate
                              that can be reached with the current settings may be read from the
                              mvResultingFrameRate property.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D): Device boot time reduced by 500 ms.
                          New Features:
                            - Full mvBlueSIRIUS support added.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: RGB/YUV modes enabled for devices with IMX249 sensors.
                            - Improved SequencerControl: 'CounterDuration' became a valid value for
                              'SequencerFeatureSelector', 'SequencerTriggerSource' and
                              'SequencerTriggerActivation' added.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X104fG/C: Some devices did not start correctly.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D): With certain SCPS payload size and AOI combinations in
                              chunk mode the device did crash.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: The data written to 'mvUserData' was not stored in non-volatile
                              memory.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Calling 'FileOperationExecute' with 'FileOperationSelector' set to
                              'Close' twice did result in a crash.
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Corrected device link speed to 5Gbps for USB super speed.
                            - IMX: Sometimes starting/stopping the acquisition took too long.
                            - IMX: Corrupt images when over-triggering and ExposureMode = TriggerWidth is used.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD124a, XD126, XD129: OffsetY was not set when the image height was 
                              set to the sensor maximum, leading to black stripes in the image
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X/XD: An upload of a 'UserFile' that exceeds the flash section size
                              could crash the camera.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X/XD: When a 'DeviceReset' was executed after a firmware update
                              the device could fail to reboot properly in very rare cases. The status LED
                              would show blueish white color then. Power-cycling the device did fix this.

                        UPDATES:
                        - U3V devices that specify the non-HEX version of the serial number in the U3V device   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          info serial string descriptor could not be initialised.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - When a faulty U3V device did not answer when reading the max. device response time    (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          the whole driver did lock up.
                        - When a request timeout for a U3V device did elapse the request result was returned    (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          as 'rrRequestAborted' instead of 'rrTimeout' on Linux.
                        - On Windows the link speed value of LAG groups has not always been reported            (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          correctly as added in version 2.5.17. This could result in incorrect resend
                          behaviour and/or frames being reported as incomplete even though no data was lost
                          on the link.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.6.0)

                        - Calling 'EventKill' for events of type 'EVENT_REMOTE_DEVICE' or 'EVENT_NEW_BUFFER'    (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          did not result in 'EventGetData' to return 'GC_ERR_ABORT' but 'GC_ERR_NO_DATA'.
                        - Payload type 'ExtendedChunk' for GEV devices was not handled correctly. The           (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          'image present' bit was ignored, thus the 'BUFFER_INFO_IMAGEPRESENT' query did return
                          0 even if an image was present in the payload.
                        - Unplugging a U3V device with event support on Linux no longer floods the log          (mvGenTLProducer.cti)

                          processes could lock up. This problem affects ALL mvIMPACT Acquire packages, thus
                          when running more than one driver package on a system ALL package should be updated!
                          (Bug introduced in version 1.12.70)
                        - Capturing images with more than 64 MByte memory consumption could lead to problems.   (low level mvHYPERION driver, Windows)
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.11.4)

13.05.2015  2.12.4
                        UPDATES:
                        - Firmware version 1.6.393.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.           (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          Changed Behaviour:
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Changed the status in case of a buffer too small from
                              'U3V_STATUS_DATA_DISCARDED' to 'U3V_STATUS_DATA_OVERRUN' as required by the
                              U3V specification version 1.0.1.
                          New Features:
                            - 'ChunkSequencerSetActive' for all devices supporting the sequencer control
                              category.
                            - Support for new product added: mvBlueFOX3-2024aG/C.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X125: FFC Calibration bug fixed.
                            - Missing invalidation of 'LineStatus' and 'LineStatusAll' when writing to
                              'LineInverter' or 'LineMode'.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - 'IAMCameraControl' feature 'CameraControl_Exposure' as well as the 'AMVideoProcAmp'   (DirectShow_acquire.ax)
                          features 'VideoProcAmp_Brightness' and 'VideoProcAmp_Gain' correctly handle the
                          'Auto' option as well as the runtime availability of these features.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Calling 'IAMCameraControl::Get' with 'CameraControl_Exposure' did return a value      (DirectShow_acquire.ax)
                          that was differed from the actual value by 1.
                        - Calling 'IAMCameraControl::GetRange' with 'CameraControl_Exposure' did return an      (DirectShow_acquire.ax)
                          invalid value for 'pSteppingDelta'.
                        - Devices specifying a category with a deprecated name as well as a category with the   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          name the deprecated one has been replaced within their GenICam file could not be
                          initialised.

08.05.2015  2.12.3
                        UPDATES:
                        - Detection of lost frames due to buffer under-runs improved.                           (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.1.0.51)
                                                                                                                (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                        - Status bar displays more statistics now.                                              (wxPropView)
                        - The GenICam nodemaps of the 'System Module' and the 'Interface Module' more closely   (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          comply with the GenICam GenTL SFNC 1.0 now.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - The mvGenTLProducer is now fully compliant with the GenICam GenTL validation          (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          framework. This however required some changes that might affect applications relying
                          on some MATRIX VISION specific GenTL producer behaviour:
                          - After calling 'GCUnregisterEvent' for a given event or after closing the module
                            associated with an event the event handle will become invalid now.
                          - DevicePort related function calls will now fail after closing the associated
                            device.
                          - Calling 'DSGetBufferID' with an invalid index will now fail.
                          - Calling 'DSStartAcquisition' with 'iNumToAcquire' set to 0 will now fail.
                          - Read from or writing to the device port of a device that has been closed will
                            now fail.
                          - Calling 'DSAnnounceBuffer' while an acquisition is running will now fail.
                        - On Windows 8 and greater less shortcuts will be created in the start menu now as      (all shipped MSI-based packages)
                          since Windows 8 nested folders in the start menus are no longer allowed.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - On Linux an internal thread pool is now used to speed up de-bayer processing time.    (all shipped Linux packages)
                          This will increase the number of threads created by the number of processors per
                          initialised device in a process.
                        - New properties published: mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::chunkSequencerSetActive,        (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::DataStreamModule::mvResendMode,
                          mvIMPACT::acquire::Statistics::bandwidthConsumed (C++),
                          mv.impact.acquire.Request.chunkSequencerSetActive,                                    (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                          mv.impact.acquire.GenICam.DataStreamModule.mvResendMode,
                          mv.impact.acquire.Statistics.bandwidthConsumed (NET)
                        - GenCP 1.1 multi-event support added. If supported by the device this will be enabled  (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          by the GenTL producer now.
                        - U3V event support for Linux added.                                                    (mvGenTLProducer.cti)

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - 'Quick Setup' wizard: Pressing 'Cancel'/'Factory Reset' will now correctly revert/set (wxPropView)
                          all relevant ColorTwist properties respectively.
                        - The original payload type from the underlying transport layer was reported instead of (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          the GenTL payload type for the 'BUFFER_INFO_PAYLOADTYPE' query. This could result in
                          problem when processing chunk data with 3rd party software.
                        - Accessing a data stream buffer through the GenICam node map now works properly.       (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                        - Constantly opening and closing U3V devices with event support did result in failures  (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          during open calls after some time.
                        - Calling mv.impact.acquire.FunctionInterface.imageRequestUnlock directly after         (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                          increasing the request count for a newly created request index did crash.
                        - When a device did stream image data in chunk mode the paddingX field from the leader  (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          of the transport layer specific data was not used to correctly set the line pitch of
                          the request buffer.
                        - When a device did stream image data in chunk mode the pixel format property from the  (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          leader of the transport layer specific data was not used to correctly set the pixel
                          format of the request buffer. This could cause problems when the pixel format did 
                          change from buffer to buffer (e.g. when using the SequencerControl).
                        - When a device implemented the 'TLParamsLocked' feature as an actual device register   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          and this register stayed set for whatever reasons when an application did terminate
                          opening the device again did not reset this parameter causing problems when trying
                          to configure the device.
                        - Updating chunk data in a request buffer could fail, if the chunk features did include (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          selectors, that are there but are not available at the given moment.
                        - When switching chunk mode off requests no longer display 'old' chunk data when        (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          streaming in image mode.
                        - mvHYPERION-SDI: Sometimes the first images captured were distorted. This could mainly (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)
                          be seen with 3G camera signals.                                                       (low level mvHYPERION driver, Linux and Windows)

26.03.2015  2.12.2
                        UPDATES: 
                        - Firmware version 1.6.360.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.           (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          Changed Behaviour:
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D)104(b)G/C, mvBlueCOUGAR-XD204(b)G/C: Exact frame rate.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X, mvBlueFOX3 with EV76Cxxx sensors: Correct YOffset in line-scan
                              mode. There was an offset of 5 lines compared to areas scan.
                          New Features:
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Chunk support added.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D): Action command support added.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D)104d/fG/C: Sequencer mode available.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D)104d/fG/C: LUT-bit-depth increased: 12bit to 9bit. 
                            - mvBlueFOX3: Device link throughput limitation mode added.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD126G/C: New clock frequency: 60 MHz
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X(D): Link speed change detection can fail sporadically when
                              booting some systems.
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X12x,mvBlueCOUGAR-XD12x: FrameBurstStart did not work correctly in
                              conjunction with SequencerMode. SequencerMode did not work correctly with very 
                              short exposure time in first SequencerSet.
                        - Support for newer kernel versions added to mvHYPERION modules.                        (low level mvHYPERION driver, Linux)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - mvGenTLProducer now dynamically adjusts the receive buffer memory, starting with      (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          12MiB and increasing it, if possible, up to 32MiB in 4MiB increments.
                        - Improved GenTL validation framework compliance. This did change the behaviour of
                          some of the functions exported by the mvGenTLProducer-lib:
                          - All 'GetInfo' function can no longer be called with an invalid 'INFO_DATATYPE'
                            pointer.
                          - Calling 'IFClose' causes all devices associated with this interface to be closed
                            as well.
                          - The deprecated 'StreamAcquisitionModeSelector' feature of the data stream module
                            has been replaced by the official 'StreamBufferHandlingMode'.
                          - The data type reported for 'BUFFER_INFO_PIXEL_ENDIANNESS' has been changed from
                            'INFO_DATATYPE_UINT32' to 'INFO_DATATYPE_INT32'.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - The property mvIMPACT::acquire::SystemSettings::imageProcessingOptimization (C/C++)   (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          or mv.impact.acquire.SystemSettings.imageProcessingOptimization (.NET) can now be     (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                          used to influence the behaviour of the internal image processing algorithms.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - On Linux when the same interface(same MAC address) was present more than once in      (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          the ifconfig table some internal list have not been updated correctly and therefore
                          devices connected to this interface could not be accessed. This could e.g. happen
                          when an avahi daemon was running on an interface already configured with e.g. dhcp
                          or static ip.
                        - The 'auto assign temp IP' option did only work if both the IP as well as the          (mvIPConfigure)
                          netmask where invalid.
                        - Crashes in the destructor of the classes                                              (mvIMPACT_acquire_GenICam.h)
                          mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::ODevFileStream or
                          mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::IDevFileStream when an attempt to open a file did fail.
                        - 'CaptureToUserMemory_C' did fail when requesting a single frame for devices with      (CaptureToUserMemory.c)
                          AcquisitionStartStopBehaviour' set to 'assbUser'.
                        - Potential crashes in the channel split filter when working with 'ibpfMono12Packed_V1' (all shipped packages)
                          or 'ibpfMono12Packed_V2' formats.

13.02.2015  2.12.1
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - mvIPConfigure can now auto-assign a valid and unused temporary IP Address to a device (mvIPConfigure)
                          which is not configured properly. The user no longer has to enter it manually.
                        - The 'GenICam' namespace now contains the full SFNC 2.2 feature set.                   (mvIMPACT_acquire_GenICam.h)
                                                                                                                (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                        - MATRIX VISION Linux installation scripts now support an unattended installation mode. (all shipped Linux packages)
                        - Linux installation script for mvVirtualDevices is available now.                      (all shipped Linux packages)

                        - Unplugging and the re-inserting mvBlueFOX USB2 devices to a USB3 host controller      (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                          on Windows 7 did not work properly. Afterwards no image capture was possible.
                        - Certain exposure times on mvBlueFOX-x00w did result in incorrectly exposed images.    (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                        - Division by 0 exceptions when trying to initialise various flavors of the mvBlueFOX2  (DirectShow_acquire.ax)
                          under DirectShow.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.11.9)
                        - When unicasting GEV Action commands only the first action command could be sent while (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          every additional command did report an error.
                        - The function mv.impact.acquire.helper.RequestProvider.acquisitionStart did fail when  (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                          called a second time even if mv.impact.acquire.helper.RequestProvider.acquisitionStop
                          has been called before.

30.01.2015  2.12.0

                        - Firmware version 1.6.306.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.           (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          Changed Behaviour:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-1031G/C: Minimum exposure has been set to 30 usec.
                          Bugs Fixed:

                          became fulfilled afterwards.
                        - The GenICam XML files returned by the various modules of the producer contained an    (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          additional '\0' character at the end and the consumer did rely on this when storing   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          the file.
                        - Potential crash when a GenICam device was disconnected shortly before reading the     (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          'PayloadSize' property.

                          reason. This did only happen for GenICam devices that support an event channel.
                        - When for some reason a device driver did forward a frame that did carry a width or    (all shipped packages)
                          height of 0 into one of the image processing functions (e.g. the LUT filter) the

                          call to 'DMR_CopyImageBuffer' with a source buffer where 'vpData' was != 0 but
                          'iSize' was 0.
                        - Payload type 'Image_ExtendedChunk' for GEV devices was not handled correctly.         (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                        - Payload type 'Chunk' was not handled correctly when the buffer did not carry the      (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)

                        UPDATES:
                        - Firmware version 1.6.230.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.           (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                            - mvBlueFOX3-2024G/C: New mvBlueFOX3 hardware added with support for IMX174 sensor.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                            - mvBlueCOUGAR-X100wG/C: Corrupt image in HDR-mode.
                            - mvBlueFOX3-1020G/C: Some sensors were showing stripes in saturated areas.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - When 'AcquisitionStartStopBehaviour' is set to 'assbUser' and 'AcquisitionMode' is    (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          set to 'SingleFrame' calling 'acquisitionStop' will also send a stop command to the
                          device now in order to properly terminate outstanding frame requests there.
                        - Loading a setting in 'GenICam' or 'Generic' interface layout will only work if the    (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          setting has been created with the same interface layout AND at least the same
                          product. Thus e.g. loading a setting created with a mvBlueCOUGAR-X122G will only work
                          for other mvBlueCOUGAR-X122G devices.
                        - For U3V devices the driver will access the 'MaxDeviceResponseTime' register first     (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          now.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Lens control wizard added to allow convenient configuration of a lens controllable by (wxPropView)
                          a GenICam device. This wizard will be available if the device supports the
                          'mvLensControl' category.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Update issue with some HDR parameter combinations for mvBlueFOX-x00w devices.         (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                        - 'imageRequestReset' calls are handled correctly now.                                  (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                        - Color correction matrices for 'cticmmBlueCOUGAR_Xx20aC_WPPLS',                        (all shipped packages)
                          'cticmmBlueFOX_x20aC_WPPLS', 'cticmmBlueCOUGAR_Xx05C_WPPLS' and
                          'cticmmBlueFOX_x05C_WPPLS' did use incorrect values.

                        - Firmware version 1.6.223.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.           (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                          - New camera mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104dG/C supported.
                          Changed Behaviour:
                          - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD: Link process with only one link now completes faster.
                          Bugs Fixed:
                          - mvBlueCOUGAR-X105G/C: mvShutterMode was not available.
                            (Bug introduced in Firmware version 1.6.129.0)
                          - Cameras with CMOSIS sensors: Changing ExposureTime did not work correctly.
                          - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD12xG/C: Wrong exposure time when using slow framerates (<2 fps).
                          - mvBlueCOUGAR-XD126C: Max Height could be set to wrong values if switching the
                            SensorTap property.
                          - Changing ExposureMode to TriggerWidth did not work correctly.
                          - mvBlueFOX3: In some cases e.g. after changing the exposure time BF3 sent 
                            corrupted frames.
                          - FrameStart signal wasn't correct.
                        - Support for third party GenICam devices that change the 'IsImplemented' feature of    (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          their features at runtime improved. These features will now be available, but when    (mvPropHandling-lib)
                          marked as 'not implemented' will have neither read nor write access.
    
                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - When the 'TestMode' property is set to 'ImageDirectory the following changes have     (mvVirtualDevice-lib)
                          been applied:
                          - The 'FrameId' property of a returned request object will contain the index of the
                            image file within the directory
                          - The 'UserData' property of a returned request object will contain the name of the
                            file that was loaded (or an error message) at index 0 and the 'True' if this file
                            is the last image file in this directory or 'False' otherwise at index 1.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Certain internal error codes could end up in the application layer (e.g. GenTL        (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          specific ones) but as these are  not part of the SDK the application could not
                          properly handle them.
                        - For GEV 2.x devices the driver now correctly switches on the '64bitBlockIdEnable' bit (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                        - For GEV the 'Image_ExtendedChunk' format is decoded correctly now.                    (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                        - For GEV 2.x devices the test packet validation was not always working correctly.      (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                        - Devices specifying a category with a deprecated name as well as a category with the   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          name the deprecated one has been replaced with in their GenICam file could not be
                          initialised.
                        - Devices specifying sub-lists within their chunk info features caused the driver to    (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          crash at runtime when streaming in chunk mode.

15.09.2014  2.11.0
                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Tooltips in the wxPropView Property tree now have a delay of 2 seconds.               (wxPropView)
                        - Format for storing settings to XML files changed. This change comes with some         (all shipped packages)
                          compatibility issues. XML files created from now on might not be usable with mvIMPACT
                          Acquire versions smaller than 2.11.0! XML files created with older versions will
                          still be readable. See documentation for details.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - mvDeviceConfigure compile errors in Linux systems.                                    (mvDeviceConfigure)
                          (bug introduced in version 2.10.1)
                        - When working with more than one U3V device on Windows processing the very first       (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          device removal event within the current process did not work correctly. This could
                          e.g. result in a devices 'State' property not going to 'Absent' when calling
                          'DeviceReset' for the very first time.

26.08.2014  2.10.1
                        UPDATES
                        - Firmware version 1.6.192.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.           (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          New Features:
                           - mvBlueFOX3: mvDevicePowermode function added.
                          Changed Behaviour:

                          Bugs Fixed:
                          - LineScan-trigger mode. First image with wrong blockID did lead to a stop of 
                            streaming after first the image.
                          - mvBlueCOUGAR-X104G/X104aG/X104bG/X125aG:
                            Wrong init values for LUT did result in 'mv::EValTooLarge' error upon reading.
                          - Gain(DigitalAll) value was set with factor 10 too high.
                            (Bug introduced in 1.6.173.0)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Firmware files for discontinued products (mvBlueCOUGAR-P, mvBlueCOUGAR-S and          (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)
                          mvBlueLYNX-M7) will no longer be shipped as part of the installation package.
                          The latest firmware versions are still available on the MATRIX VISION website.
                        - Merge modules (*.msm-files) to build custom MSI based installation packages are       (all shipped MSI based packages)
                          no longer part of the actual MSI package for a particular driver but can be
                          downloaded as a separate archive from the MATRIX VISION website. This was done to
                          reduce the size of a standard installation. As a result 64-bit packages now roughly
                          use 55% of their original size, 32-bit packages about 50%.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - mvDeviceConfigure can write a log file from the content of the log window now.        (mvDeviceConfigure)

                          'DMR_SaveSystemToDefault' was 'sGlobal' but must be 'sUser'. This did also result in
                          an error being reported in wxPropView when selecting
                          'Action -> Capture Settings -> Save Active Device Settings -> ... (Per User Only)'.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.5.9)
                        - XML Files stored in the folder 'CameraFiles' but not containing camera description    (all shipped frame grabber packages)
                          data but e.g. a device setting the name of the file did end up as a selectable camera
                          description but obviously did not behave correctly.

21.07.2014  2.10.0
                        UPDATES
                        - Firmware version 1.6.165.0 for mvBlueFOX3 and mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.           (all shipped packages for GenICam compliant devices)

                          be reconstructed safely as too much data is missing already (e.g. because at the
                          time the transmission of the frame did start there was no buffer to capture the
                          data into and the capture buffer did arrive inside the driver after large parts of
                          the buffer have already been lost) the remains of these frames are dropped now.
                          Previous versions did report these frames as incomplete with the remains of the data.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Improved GEV acquisition streaming start speed.                                       (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                        - Added 'daoUseRawSensorGain' to the 'Camera/AdvancedOptions' property for              (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                          mvBlueFOX-x05 devices.
                        - Some common functions, templates and classes used in various example applications     (all shipped packages)
                          moved into separate header files under $(MVIMPACT_ACQUIRE_DIR)/common.

                        NEW FEATURES:

                          'gevGetResultingBandwidth' and 'gevGetResultingPacketDelayadded' added to

                        - Functions 'gevGetEffectivePayloadPacketsPerImage', 'gevGetEffectiveBytesPerImage',    (mv.impact.acquire.dll)

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Some code did rely on the SFNC feature 'PixelFormat' using the 'real' numerical       (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          values as the integer representation of the enumeration entries, thus the entry for
                          'Mono8' for a GEV device was expected to have a numerical representation of
                          '0x01080001'. However the numerical values for SFNC enumerated features are not
                          covered by the standard thus in theory can be anything.
                        - Downloading the GenICam file from a device did align the amount of memory read to a   (mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          4-byte boundary. For transport layer technologies that are not restricted to a
                          certain alignment such as GenCP or U3V this could result in the device to complain

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - The buffers internally allocated used 1 byte too much memory. This could cause a      (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          decrease in the overall performance because of redundant reallocations.
                          (Bug introduced in version 2.0.9)
                        - Improved resend behaviour when working in LAG mode with 2 links or more. Sometimes    (mvGigECapture.sys, version 2.0.8.42)
                          parts of frames that already have been captured completely where requested for
                          resend.
                        - Timestamps for U3V devices will correctly be reported in us by the framework now.     (mvGenTLProducer.cti)

23.01.2013  2.3.2
                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Migration to the official version 1.0 of the USB3 Vision standard. This required some (mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          changes in internal data structures. Only devices compliant with version 1.0 of the

                        - mvBlueCOUGAR-msi packages have been renamed to mvGenTL_Acquire-msi. Some libraries    (mvBlueCOUGAR.msi -> mvGenTL_Acquire.msi)
                          belonging to these packages also changed their name: mvBlueCOUGAR-lib became          (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib -> mvGenTLConsumer-lib)
                          mvGenTLConsumer-lib, mvTLIClientGigE.cti became mvGenTLProducer.cti. This change      (mvTLIClientGigE.cti -> mvGenTLProducer.cti)
                          became necessary as by now a much wider range of products(e.g. mvBlueFOX3, 
                          mvBlueLYNX-X) is supported by this package and therefore the names became misleading.
                          The old files are still part of the package but are not installed by default any more.
                          See 'Installation from private setup routines' for details.

                          on the target system. See 'Installation from private setup routines' for details.
                        - Added some missing stuff to the documentation.                                        (all shipped packages)

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - When using the 'IID_IAMCameraControl' interface of the DirectShow support library     (DirectShow_acquire.ax)
                          certain devices could cause an invalid loop if they reported a minimum, maximum or
                          actual exposure time of '0 us'.

26.07.2012  2.0.0
                        UPDATES:
                        - using MATRIX VISION devices via the DirectShow_acquire.ax library under LabVIEW no    (DirectShow_acquire.ax)

                          (Windows only)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - mvIMPACT Acquire will use version numbers according to the 'Semantic Versioning       (all shipped packages)
                          Specification' starting from this version. See http://semver.org/ for details.

                        - Basic support for the 'IID_IAMCameraControl' interface added. So far only the         (DirectShow_acquire.ax)
                          exposure time can be controlled.
                        - New header file added: $(MVIMPACT_ACQUIRE_DIR)/DriverBase/Include/mvVersionInfo.h     (all shipped packages)

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Color twist matrices 'XYZToAdobeRGB_D50' and 'XYZToAdobeRGB_D65' internally used      (all shipped packages)
                          interchanged values, thus the D50 matrix did use the D65 values and vice versa.
                        - The last byte of the user EEPROM could not be accessed.                               (mvBlueFOX-lib)

                          calling the function.
                        - All the component iteration functions (parent, firstChild, firstSibling, nextSibling  (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - 'F5' is used instead of 'ALT+CTRL+U' to update device lists now.                      (wxPropView)

11.06.2012  1.12.69
                        DEPRECATED API CODE:
                        - The function 'mvDispSetWindow' is no longer declared in 'mvDisplay.h'. This function  (mvDisplay.h)
                          internally did only call 'mvDispSetImage'. For backward compatibility this function
                          however will still be exported by the library thus this will not break existing
                          applications at runtime.
                        - In order to have consistent function names several functions from the 'C' interface   (mvDisplay-lib)
                          have been renamed. The functions will still be exported with the old names as well
                          thus this will not break existing binaries but will require changes in the source
                          during rebuilds. The following functions have been renamed:
                          - mvDestroyImageWindow: Use mvDispWindowDestroy instead.
                          - mvGetDisplayWindowHWnd: Use mvDispWindowGetWindowHandle instead.
                          - mvGetDisplayStructure: Use mvDispWindowGetDisplayHandle instead.
                          - mvInitDisplayWindow: Use mvDispWindowCreate instead.
                          - mvSetDisplayWindowRefreshTime: Use mvDispWindowSetRefreshTime instead.
                          - mvShowDisplayWindow: Use mvDispWindowShow instead.
                          - mvInstallPreProcHandler: Use mvDispWindowSetMessageHandler instead.
                          If re-building your application please note that when linking against the new export
                          names, the display library on the target system must be updated as well.

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - 'mvIMPACT::acquire::ComponentIterator' is now just a typedef. All functions/features  (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          of this class has been moved to the base class 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Component'. This
                          does not cause any compatibility issues, but will slightly improve the way feature
                          iteration can be used.
                        - Class mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::mvACCControl added.                                 (mvIMPACT_acquire_GenICam.h)
                        - All camera description recognised by a certain frame grabber will be created during   (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)

                        - Missing calling convention added to typedef of 'CBOBJChanged'.                        (mvDeviceManager-lib)
                        - X-Offset and Y-Offset for analysis controls where interchanged.                       (wxPropView)

                        - Direct conversion of Bayer data to Mono8 improved. Border pixels are handled          (all shipped packages)
                          correctly now, RGB weighting uses the following formula now:

                        UPDATES:
                        - Color correction data for mvBlueCOUGAR specific sensors updated(EXPERIMENTAL!         (all shipped packages)
                          SUBJECT TO CHANGE!)

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Initial version with full .NET support that is independent from the mvIMPACT-SDK.     (mv.impact.acquire.dll)
                                                                                                                (mv.impact.acquire.display.dll)
                        - New protected method 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::getComponentLocator' added. This    (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          will make it a little easier to derive from 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request'.
                        - Functions 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::unlock' and                                    (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::configure' added. These functions result in the same
                          behaviour as calling 'mvIMPACT::acquire::FunctionInterface::imageRequestUnlock' and
                          'mvIMPACT::acquire::FunctionInterface::imageRequestConfigure' but allow to write
                          nicer code.
                        - Functions 'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::attachUserBuffer' and                          (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          'mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::detachUserBuffer' added. This will reduce the amount of
                          code needed to capture into user supplied memory.
                        - Function 'mvIMPACT::acquire::FunctionInterface::getCurrentCaptureBufferLayout' added. (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          This will offer a new more convenient way find out what kind of buffers are needed to
                          capture into user supplied memory.
                        - Functions mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyF::getTranslationDictValues,                 (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)

                          mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyI64::getTranslationDictValues added.
                        - Function 'mvDispGetWindowHandle' added.                                               (mvDisplay-lib)
                        - Functions 'mvDispSetImageFromImageBuffer' and 'mvDispSetImageFromRequest' added       (mvDisplayExtensions.h)

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - mvDispGetError did return a random error code until the first error did occur or the  (mvDisplay-lib)
                          function was called a second time(uninitialised internal variable).

                            - New devices: mvBlueCOUGAR-XD.
                            - CCDs: Smear reduction property.
                            - FFC Feature extended: FFC works for sensor sizes > 1.8 Mega-Pixel, however the 
                              FFC data can not be stored in flash. Instead the data is accessible
                              using the File Control feature (up- and download).
                            - MT9P031: New pixel clock frequency: 98 MHz.

                              DHCP/AutoIP, Discovery Process, GigE Vision Protocol, etc...)
                            - 'ExposureActive' signal is now internally ANDed with the 'AcquisitionActive'
                              signal, useful for controlling lighting systems. It is now equivalent to the
                              DEPRECATED 'mvExposureAndAcquisitionActive' signal. The previous behaviour can be
                              obtained by using the new signal 'mvExposureActive'.

                            - using more than one OR gate caused unexpected results.
                            - 'UserDefinedName' was lost after FW update.
                            - FrameAverager (only -2xx)
                            - First line for all CCD sensors did contain incorrect data.

                          counter now.
                        - Settings without a hierarchy table can be restored correctly from the Windows         (all shipped MSI based packages)
                          Registry again.
                          (Bug introduced in version 1.12.4)

28.04.2011  1.12.4
                        NEW FEATURES:

                          dialog now.
                        - Setting hierarchies can be stored and restored as part of a load/save setting         (all shipped packages)
                          operation now. XML based settings stored with the setting hierarchy included can only
                          be restored using mvIMPACT Acquire packages with version 1.12.4 or greater.

                        BUGS FIXED:

19.04.2011  1.12.3
                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - When attaching a user supplied buffer to a request the internal buffer previously     (all shipped packages)
                          attached to this request will be unlocked, which will result in memory being freed
                          in most cases. When removing the user supplied buffer later the internal request
                          memory will be re-allocated automatically.
                        - Prepared the GenICam GenTL producer to support other transport layer technologies.    (mvTLIClientGigE-lib)
                          The reported transport layer type of the system module now e.g. will be 'Mixed'.
                          This later might affect applications that assume only GEV devices devices to be
                          reported by the library. Therefore an application should then check the TLTYPE value
                          carefully.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Writing binary data to a string property and then reading it back could result in     (mvPropHandling)
                          in incorrect data if the size of the original binary buffer was not a multiple of 4
                          and one of the last 3 bytes did contain a value larger than 127.
                        - mvIMPACT::acquire::Request did always report either a single ChunkCounterValue or a   (mvIMPACT_acquire.h)
                          single ChunkTimerValue property no matter how many timers or counters have actually
                          been part of the chunk data.

                          applications to run on x64 bit versions of Windows. However this will still NOT allow

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Increased 'PoolSize' registry parameter from 256 MB to 640 MB for Cognex adapter.     (all shipped MSI-based packages)
                          This will fix certain timeout issues when running devices with high resolutions via

23.11.2010  1.11.37
                        DEPRECATED API CODE:
                        - The interface layout 'Generic' has been declared deprecated. Please use 'GenICam'     (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices)
                          instead, which offer a more flexible access to GenICam devices.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - The default interface layout became 'GenICam' if supported by the connected device.   (wxPropView)

                        - Firmware version 1.2.1.0 for mvBlueCOUGAR-X devices added.                            (all shipped packages for GigE Vision devices)
                          This firmware introduces massive changes in feature names and a lot of new features
                          like
                            - ChunkMode
                            - Extended Counter/Timer functionality
                            - New acquisition and trigger modes
                          However this firmware version is NOT fully backward compatible. If in doubt please
                          contact MATRIX VISION. Because of these changes it can also not be guaranteed that
                          older device driver will run in 'DeviceSpecific' interface layout when operated with
                          devices using a firmware version greater than 1.2.x thus updating the driver on these
                          systems is also highly recommended.
                        - Source code for mvIPConfigure added to MSI based installer                            (mvBlueCOUGAR.msi)

                          Please note that e.g. when doing single snaps and the sensor runs in autotrigger mode
                          this will currently result in the lost image counter to increase so don't use
                          this parameter as a proof that frames have actually been missed. This depends on the
                          point of view and the application.
                        - Support for ibpfMono10 and ibpfMono16 added.                                          (mvV4L-lib)

                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - 12 bit acquisition mode added to mvHYPERION-HD-SDI.                                   (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)
                        - Firmware version 49 for mvBlueFOX devices added. This will add motor focus control    (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                          related features.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Enhanced chunk processing added. All chunk features will be part of the request info  (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib)
                          now and will reside in a sublist 'Info/ChunkData' of each request object.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - The 64-bit Linux build of the GenICam GenTL producer did use an incorrect structure   (mvTLIClientGigE-lib)
                          alignment resulting in some registers returning an incorrect value when accessing
                          them via a GenApi nodemap.
                        - Fixed initialising of PulseStartConfiguration. Previous versions did program the      (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)
                          rotary decoder interface but not the default behaviour(trigger input signal).

08.10.2010  1.11.27
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Additional trigger delay added. Now it is possible to set also a trigger delay in     (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)
                          lines. The property delayAbs_usec is not affected from this new property. For working
                          with this new delay feature a mvHYPERION-CLm/CLf firmware upgrade to version 61 is 
                          required.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Improved detection of lost device access. If a device is no longer responding the     (mvTLIClientGigE-lib)
                          'State' property will be set to 'Absent'. When a device is responding again all       (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib)
                          communication channels will be re-created thus the device can be used again without
                          the need to close and re-open it.
                        - Request error handling improved, now error strings will be logged instead of error    (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)
                          codes.
                        - Further improved enhanced device discovery for misconfigured devices. A new detection (mvTLIClientGigE-lib)
                          mode has been added to mvIPConfigure. Switching it on and off enables and disables    (mvIPConfigure)
                          the usage of limited broadcasts for the device discovery. If a device is not visible
                          during 'normal' device discovery switching on limited broadcasts might help.

07.10.2010  1.11.26
                        UPDATES:
                        - Uncompressed versions of all the GenICam XML files processed will be written to       (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib)
                          a default directory automatically.
                        - Channel link reset improved if working with full CameraLink cameras.                  (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.21.29)

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - Potential memory corruption when changing from 'normal' operation to 'chunk' mode     (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib)
                          without changing the image resolution and then capturing data into a driver allocated
                          buffer that previously contained 'normal' image data.
                        - In interface layout 'dilGeneric' and 'dilGenICam' the 'ChunkModeActive' feature is    (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib)
                          no longer switched off automatically, when opening a device that supports the chunk
                          mode.

06.10.2010  1.11.25
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - 'AcquisitionStart' trigger added. Now it is possible to control acquisition start     (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)
                          independent from the 'FrameStart' trigger.
                        - Trigger counter read out added for 'FrameStart' and 'AcquisitionStart' trigger.       (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)
                                                                                                                (mvHYPERION2.sys, version 2.1.20.28)

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Previous trigger overlap mode(restart trigger mode) must be defined until now with    (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)
                          'FrameStart' and 'FrameStop' trigger. This change is not compatible with older
                          versions. Now both trigger lists must hold the same trigger signal definitions to
                          enable this restart mode.

                        UPDATES:
                        - Improved device discovery introduced in version 1.11.23 does no longer take more      (mvTLIClientGigE-lib)
                          time. It's even faster than all previous versions now.                                (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib)

30.09.2010  1.11.24
                        NEW FEATURES:
                        - Rotary encoder interface added to the pulsestartconfiguration list.                   (mvHYPERIONfg-lib)
                        - Additional Bayer conversion algorithms added to support enhanced raw modes. This      (all shipped packages)
                          special line scan acquisition modes are only available for certain line scan cameras.

                        BUGS FIXED:
                        - The x64 version of the DirectShow interface could connect to devices when running     (DirectShow_acquire.ax)
                          the capture application with elevated access rights only on some 64-bit versions of
                          Windows.
                        - wxPropView can be compiled with wxWidgets version smaller than 2.7.1 again.           (wxPropView)
                        - Potential crashes at start-up when wxPropView has been compiled with wxWidgets 2.6.x  (wxPropView)
                          on Debian.
                        - Small memory leak when constantly opening an closing a device.                        (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib)

24.09.2010  1.11.23
                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR:
                        - Discovery of misconfigured GEV devices improved. Now devices e.g. using a persistent  (mvTLIClientGigE-lib)
                          IP address connected to an adapter that resides in a different net can be discovered  (mvBlueCOUGAR-lib)
                          as well. However this increases the device enumeration time per adapter.
                        - Increased 'PoolSize' registry parameter from 64 MB to 256 MB for Cognex adapter.      (all shipped MSI-based packages)
                          This will fix certain timeout issues when running devices with high resolutions via
                          the mvIMPACTAcquire_Cognex_Adapter-lib. Please note that this memory is NOT 
                          automatically consumed unless truly needed.

17.09.2010  1.11.22
                        BUGS_FIXED:
                        - Changes from version 1.11.6 improved. Now internal multiplexer data is only           (low level mvHYPERION driver, Linux)
                          updated if it has changed. This load behaviour was changed in version 1.11.6.         (mvHYPERION.sys, version 1.0.47.49)
                        
10.09.2010  1.11.21

24.04.2006      1.5.0
                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: The mvBlueFOX specific property 'USBRetransmit' has                  (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                                been renamed to 'USBRetransmitCount'. See the corresponding 
                                'Porting existing code' section for details.

                        CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: The class mvIMPACT::acquire::Info has been renamed
                                to mvIMPACT::acquire::InfoBlueFOX. See the corresponding 'Porting
                                existing code' section for details.

                        NEW FEATURE: Support for frame grabbers added (mvTITAN (RGB-G4, RGB-G3, CL, G1, DIG))   (mvTITANfg-lib)
                                mvGAMMA (G, CL), mvSIGMA(SLC, SQ), mvDELTA).                                    (mvSIGMAfg-lib)
                                                                                                                (mvDeviceManager-lib)

                        NEW FEATURE/CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: mvPropView only checks for overlay (DD)                  (mvPropView)
                                when it needs it and displays a message on failure. DirectDraw
                                overlay is only needed/used for YUV422Packed images currently.
                                export/save operations can now be cancelled.

                        NEW FEATURE: Logging is now fully supported. See corresponding section
                                in the manual.

                        NEW FEATURE: A wxWidgets based version of mvPropView has been added to
                                the setup. It has some nice features(live histogram, line
                                profile) and a Linux version is available as well. However its
                                display performance is weaker than the MFC based mvPropView, which
                                is the reason, why no short cut will be created on the desktop.
                                However the higher CPU load is ONLY caused by the applications
                                way of displaying the images and has nothing to do with the
                                performance of the interface itself. It can be found in the
                                'bin' folder of the installation.

                        BUGFIX: Calling 'imageRequestSingle' from one and 'imageRequestReset' from              (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                                another thread could produce deadlocks.

16.02.2006      1.4.5
                        UPDATE: Internally the C++ interface now uses the class 'ExceptionFactory'
                                to create exceptions.

                        BUGFIX: long time integration sometimes produced incorrect images.                      (mvBlueFOX-lib)

                        BUGFIX: Return values of DMR_WriteUserDataToHardware corrected                          (mvBlueFOX-lib)

                        BUGFIX: Writing empty user data entries to the device could leed to a state             (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                                where the camera couldn't be accessed any more.
                                (Bug introduced in version 1.4.0)

                        BUGFIX: Crashes when selecting planar destination formats under mvPropView              (mvPropView)
                                (Bug introduced in version 1.4.0)

23.01.2006      1.4.4
                        BUGFIX: Function PropertyS::readBinary.

                        BUGFIX: Properties UserData::memoryAvailable_bytes and 
                                UserData::memoryConsumed_bytes bound correctly now.

                        UPDATE: Improved sensor timing and therefore image quality for certain sensor           (mvBlueFOX-lib)

                        NEW FEATURE: sfFile flag added to TStorageFlag enum to allow explicit                   (mvPropHandling-lib)
                                declaration of file I/O. Previous versions interpreted the sfNative
                                flag NOT set as file output. This method is now deprecated but still
                                supported. New applications should us the sfFile flag. This also 
                                allows to do file output AND native output with a single function
                                call (by combining(sfNative | sfFile)).

20.01.2006      1.4.3

                                and DefectivePixels Filter without changing the corresponding section 
                                in the Registry and/or the XML file. To restore these data rename
                                the list "DeficeSpeficData' to 'DeviceSpecificData'.

                        NEW FEATURE: PropertyS::writeBinary and PropertyS::readBinary overloads.

                        BUGFIX: Connecting a hot-plug device while mvPropView is already running                (mvPropView)

                                of entries, that allow a more flexible management of user data.
                                This is an incompatible change and might force you to modify existing
                                code. Data stored in the device EEPROM with the old format will still
                                be readable. See the corresponding 'Porting existing code' section
                                for details.

                        INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: The class ImageBufferDescriptor does no longer support 
                                the constructors
                                explicit ImageBufferDesc( ImageBuffer* p, bool boTakeOwnership = false )

                        BUGFIX: trigger mode 'OnHighExpose' fixed. This trigger mode also sets                  (mvBlueFOX-lib)
                                the flag cfInvisible for the properties 'expose_us' and 
                                'FrameDelay_us' now as modifying these properties in this

                        NEW FEATURE: TComponentFlag::cfShouldBeDisplayedAsList.                                 (mvPropHandling-lib)

                        UPDATE: C++ wrapper header structure reorganized. Now there is only one header
                                ( mvi_acquire.h ).

                        NEW BEHAVIOUR: Certain things in the interface have been changed. Some
                                will force you to recompile your application, some will
                                even force you to modify existing code. We are still in the 
                                beta stadium, but we are getting closer to a stable interface.
                                Some exported function modified or removed from mvPropHandling.h

                        BUGFIX: Destroying a DeviceManager object doesn't leave invalid windows                 (mvDeviceManager-lib)
                                and threads any more.

                        BUGFIX: mvDevMgrGetDevInfo, mvDevMgrSetParam made thread save.

                        NEW BEHAVIOUR: Component::canWrite renamed to Component::isWriteable()

                        NEW FEATURE: Component::isVisible, CameraSettingsBlueFOX, 
                                AutoControlParameters. (subject to change! See documentation!)

                        NEW BEHAVIOUR: Missing units added to some properties.

                        BUGFIX: Various minor fixes.

11.03.2005      1.1.1
                        NEW BEHAVIOUR: In mvPropHandlingDataTypes.h the unsigned int constants                  (mvPropHandling-lib)
                                for defining the operation mode of search functions have been
                                renamed to avoid confusion with the TStorageFlag type. The leading
                                'sf' has been renamed to 'sm'. The constant 'sfSearchSublists' has
                                been removed, as the underlying behaviour can be expressed by the
                                maximum search depth as well. This is an incompatible change which 
                                might force you to modify existing source.

                        NEW FEATURE: New TStorageFlag added: sfProcessInheritance.                              (mvPropHandling-lib)

                        BUGFIX: Deadlock removed when multiple threads accessed the property                    (mvPropHandling-lib)
                                module.

                        DOCUMENTATION UPDATED

                        NEW FEATURE: New sample program added (ContinuousCaptureAllDevices), to
                                demonstrate how to access all supported devices found in the
                                current system in a single application.

                        BUGFIX: PropertyS::read function caused an access violation when building
                                the result string when a NULL-pointer was returned by the function.

                        BUGFIX: Noisy images for certain sensor types of the mvBlueFOX.                         (mvBlueFOX-lib)

                        BUGFIX: Wrong colours in Bayer converted images for 1024*768 sensor.                    (mvBlueFOX-lib)
