5.2.0 - March 4, 2020
Although largely “under the hood,”significant changes made for this release justify a bump
in the minor version number.
Camera streaming code has been revised for performance and efficiency. By moving one
step “closer to the metal,” the goal here was to better support multiple high-bandwidth
cameras and to prepare for IPV6 connections. With a larger system, you should see modest
reductions in CPU demand as well. It’s still possible for the network receive buffer to
become overwhelmed if the CPU/GPU cannot keep up with decoding all frames in real-time
(when not using the limit decoding feature)—to better handle this we will be adding
support for dual-streaming main and sub-streams.

Web server code has been revised for performance and efficiency. By removing layers of
abstraction, the web server should be faster and more reliable overall.
The software will prompt for a user login when the “require admin run-as administrator”
has been unchecked on the Settings/Startup page, now even when BlueIris.exe is run with
Windows administrator rights.

One of the “under the hood items... rec’d from Ken today...

Next release today will have &ALERT and &PLATE possible for all alerts where macros are supported. The &ALERT is the path to the JPEG if this is being saved as a high-res file. Otherwise, it will be the DB locator like @23423 which may be used to open the image from the database.”

Check that... another update from Ken...

"Next version, all &ALERT_DB with be just the locator, &ALERT_PATH will be the path."

I've just confirmed these changes are working in 5.2.0.2 and are reflected in the help PDF.
