====================

Upgrade the firmware according to the instructions given at
https://www.axis.com/ca/en/support/tecnical-notes/how-to-upgrade 
or howtoupgrade.txt, which is included in the firmware folder.


New features in 7.40.1
================================================================================

7.40.1:F1
Changed the behavior of the capture mode parameter. Changing capture mode
requires a reboot now.

7.40.1:F2
Support for Firmware Recovery under Settings -> System -> Maintenance. The
product is saving a restore point every time the firmware is updated, allowing
the user to rollback to a previous firmware and its configuration.

7.40.1:F3
Support for HTTP keep-alive connections via ONVIF. PTZ products can now be
controlled via HTTP keep-alive connections. This increases PTZ control accuracy,
reduces overhead communication and therefore lowers the risk for security
focused network infrastructure or unstable networks to block or drop PTZ control
commands.

7.40.1:F4
Support for browser stream statistics in Live View.

7.40.1:F5
Support for OPUS audio codec. The codec can be selected e.g. in the web-
interface under Settings -> Audio -> Encoding or via VAPIX API.

7.40.1:F6
Updated AXIS Video Motion Detection to version 4.1.8.

7.40.1:F7
Support for Password Security Confirmation Check. To increase overall
cybersecurity awareness, a user-configured password that is considered "weak"
need to be confirmed actively twice by the user.


Corrections in 7.40.1
================================================================================

7.40.1:C1
Corrected security vulnerability CVE-2016-2147 and CVE-2016-2148.

7.40.1:C2
Corrected an issue that let a configured overlay disappear when switching to
Image or View Area Tab.

7.40.1:C3
