2. Enhanced ONVIF Scope functionality for more precise system configuration.
3. Improved the GetStreamUri interface for easier stream retrieval.
4. Fixed an SSL_connect connection-blocking issue.
5. Added SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) video streaming support for external IP cameras.
6. Enhanced From File demuxer functionality.
7. Improved window capture on Linux.
8. Resolved various other issues to improve overall software stability and performance.

1. Added support for enabling HTTP and HTTPS services simultaneously.
2. Enhanced the ONVIF Video Analytics Service.
3. Improved the ONVIF token-generation process.
4. Enhanced the GetSupportedMetadata interface.
5. Improved media-file trick-play functionality.
6. Introduced an application-window capture media source for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
7. Resolved various other issues to improve overall software stability and performance.

1. Implemented the ONVIF OSD (On-Screen Display) Service and added support for control through an NVR (Network Video Recorder).
2. Fixed URL parsing for Hikvision NVR devices.

This release introduces ITVDesk 6.2 updates, including support for new audio encoders, improved Hikvision NVR/DVR support, and new RTSP features.
1. Implemented bidirectional audio streaming on macOS.
2. Implemented restreaming options for External IP Cameras, allowing direct streaming without transcoding to reduce CPU usage.
3. Added support for the Opus, G.711 A-law, and G.722 audio codecs.
4. Implemented epoll support on Linux for HTTPS and RTSP client connections.
epoll provides socket-data readiness notifications on Linux. SELECT mode is generally limited to 1,024 file descriptors, and one RTSP client session requires eight sockets.
epoll mode allows ITVDesk to support configurations that require more simultaneous RTSP client sessions than SELECT mode can handle.
5. Improved the Webcam media source on macOS for older MacBook and MacBook Air computers.
6. Improved RTSP bidirectional audio functionality.
7. Improved H.264 and H.265 RTP packet reception.
8. Improved IP Camera channel and profile handling.
9. Improved ONVIF Motion Detection support for older Hikvision, HiLook, and HiWatch NVR, DVR, and XVR devices.
10. Fixed various minor bugs.

1. Implemented Native Streaming for all media sources (Desktop, Webcam, From File, and External IP Camera).
(Native Streaming allows streaming without transcoding to reduce CPU usage when source parameters do not need to be changed. It supports suitable RTMP, RTSP, HTTP, From File, Webcam, and Desktop sources streamed through RTSP/ONVIF as part of an ITVDesk ONVIF IP Camera.)
2. Implemented stream closure when audio or video settings change.
3. Reduced CPU usage by approximately 8% and streaming I/O usage to approximately 0.1%.
4. Improved External IP Camera support on all platforms.
5. Improved the Audio media source on macOS for older MacBook and MacBook Air computers.
6. Optimized frame processing.
7. Fixed various minor bugs.

1. Added From File streaming support for JPEG image files (*.jpeg and *.jpg).
2. Added From File streaming support for MP3 audio files (*.mp3).
3. Improved Webcam, Desktop, and Audio capture stability and fluidity on all platforms.
4. Added MJPEG capture support to the Webcam media grabber.
5. Added support for receiving only the required channel data from an External IP Camera.
6. Improved ONVIF HTTP SOAP data transmission.
7. Updated the FFmpeg library.
8. Initialized multicast configuration.
9. Removed the five-second timeout for RTP data transmission.
10. Improved Alarm In and Alarm Out handling in the ONVIF Event Service.
11. Fixed an External IP Camera RTP sequence issue where the next sequence number increased by two after a complete packet, causing false packet-loss detection.
12. Fixed various minor bugs.

1. Implemented UDP media-port configuration.
2. Implemented automatic detection of audio parameters such as bitrate.
3. Improved ONVIF masking service interfaces.
4. Improved ONVIF time-zone settings.
5. Improved the From File demuxer.
6. Improved audio and video capture.
7. Fixed various minor bugs.

1. Improved the HTTPS web server.
2. Improved the HTTP web client.
3. Improved ONVIF server SOAP processing.
4. Improved private ITVDesk ONVIF utility functions.
5. Improved External IP Camera connections.
6. Improved and optimized RTSP over HTTP and RTSP over HTTPS.
7. Improved the HTTP client and HTTP web server.
