• Cameras: cameras with static image sources are now supported. If Camera.<id>.Type is set to "static", a single HTTP request is sent to acquire the image when a CAMERAREC action is executed. The live camerapanel display will not trigger HTTP requests to the source, but show the last recorded image. Events are grouped per day. For static cameras only, a variable name (starting with $) can be set in the configuration instead of the URL in order to allow dynamic URLs
• Program timers: if the program timer id starts with $, then the server will also automatically set a variable, with a name equal to the program timer's id, to the remaining number of seconds. Note that the variable is not guarateed to be uodated at every second, as some updates may be skipped due to timing constraints.
• Communication ports, serial gateways configuration: it is now possible to define a custom read timeout to override the 2 seconds default. Set using CommPort.<id>.Params = <timeoutmillis> in hsyco.ini
• Access control: new trustedUsers option: comma separated list of user IDs that are always considered trusted, even when connected from outside of the trusted network. Trusted users connecting to HSYCO are subject to the time-out defined in KeysTrustedValidityHours
