	image does not produce this error).

4.40:21 When using DDNS (Windows Server 2003), the real IP-address is
	now registered in the DNS.

4.40:22 If primary dns-server is online but the DNS service is
	unavailable (e.g a standard Windows XP machine was set as primary
	dns server by mistake), the secondary dns server is now correctly
	contacted.

4.40:23 The DDNS (Windows server 2003) is now correctly updated when the
	IP-address of the DUT changes.

Known limitations in 4.40
=========================

4.40:01 If you set compression to 0% the frame rate may decrease substantially
	for Motion JPEG for certain scenes. This is because the image size
	may not exceed 128 KB.
	Workaround: Set the compression to 5% instead. The image quality will
	not suffer noticeably, but the image size will be much smaller.

4.40:02 Including format field #b or #B in text overlay will show incorrect
	bandwidth usage when frame rate is limited for Motion JPEG.

4.40:03 If viewing the image stream on Mac OS X with Mozilla Firefox or Camino
	using the AXIS Media Java Applet, a third party plugin may be needed to
	get the browser to use the correct Java version. The Java Embedding
	Plugin can be found at http://javaplugin.sourceforge.net/.

4.40:04 When saving a snapshot image, some Web browsers (e.g. Mozilla) will
	fetch a new picture and the saved picture will not match the displayed
	snapshot.

4.40:05 The Mozilla Web browser does not always close the image stream properly
	when leaving the Live View page. Restarting the stream can sometimes
	fail as well. Restarting Mozilla solves these two problems.

4.40:06 Some Korean translations are missing.
