     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/FeatureRequest2006x06x06x123003

Bugfixes
   * Fixed problem related to fetching images from Network camera and error
     handling when it fails. Motion would end in infinite loops (Bill Brack).
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x03x10x000151
   * Improved reporting of thread numbers during startup in setup mode.
     (Peter Smith and Kenneth Lavrsen)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/SlightlyImprovedThreadCreationLogging
   * Ffmpeg code mutex locking fix (Peter Smith)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x04x07x164654

     handling code with regards to Ffmpeg (Peter Smith)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/LoggingEventFix
   * Implemented a fix for the rare problem where some experienced that the
     move file names would only consist of the extension .mpg or .avi with no
     name in front. The root cause was the use of sprintf for appending to
     strings. (Mike Kenney and Kenneth Lavrsen)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/SupportQuestion2005x09x05x133031
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/SupportQuestion2006x06x19x174238

     use with config strings that can become very long (Kenneth Lavrsen)
   * Removed annoying debug messages (v4l_set_input really needed ?) in the FreeBSD
     version (Angel Carpintero)
   * Fixed the check for ffmpeg version. In rev 5503 of ffmpeg the FFMPEG_VERSION_INT
     was removed from libavcodec/avcodec.h. Instead we now use the equivalent
     LIBAVFORMAT_BUILD >= 4616 which is the 0.4.9pre1 version of ffmpeg.

     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x07x10x111239
   * Put a new global mutex arround avcodec_close to avoid problems with not thread
     safe functions in ffmpeg (Angel Carpintero)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x04x07x164654
   * On FreeBSD configure defines a redundant freebsd for motion. Fixed by replacing
     -D__freebsd_ by BSD macro  included in sys/param.h for BSD platforms.
     (JukkaUkkonen and Angel Carpintero)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x07x08x070417
   * For BSD platforms changed to using native pthreads as default and adding
     linuxthreads as a optional parameter from configure. (Angel Carpintero)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x07x08x071646
   * Smartmask overlay feature did not set intensity correctly. (Kenneth Lavrsen)


3.2.6 Formal Bugfix Release.
   * Fixed bug where variables time_last_frame and time_current_frame had been
     extended to also be used for snapshot feature but declaration was hidden
     between #ifdef HAVE_FFMPEG. (Kenneth Lavrsen)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x03x09x012244
   * Fixed a bug that only allowed remote control of max 9 cameras. Now
     Motion can present up to 99 cameras in its http remote control interface
     (Angel Carpintero based on idea by Chuck Sheehan)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHttpManyThreads
   * text_changes now shows a '-' when motion detection is paused instead of
     just showing 0 (Kenneth Lavrsen)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/FeatureRequest2006x03x16x095713

3.2.5.1  Doc and man page correction
   * ffmpeg_filename has changed name to movie_filename to prepare for
     alternative movie encoding to the current ffmpeg based implementation
     and ffmpeg_filename will then be a bad name (Kenneth Lavrsen)
   * Man page corrected.
