#34542 Implemented user management endpoints in Watcher Admin API to allow user management in Watcher Admin UI in the future.
#34549 (UI) Added the ability to filter the episodes by the time of their creation (opened_at). With the filter enabled, the episodes are sorted by opened_at (ascending), and -opened_at (descending) without the filter.
#34564 Renamed the “Try new UI” option to “Watcher Client UI (PWA)” to highlight that Watcher Client UI does not include all the features available in Watcher UI because admin functions will be available separately.
#34607 Watcher Admin UI made available at http://WATCHER-IP/watcher/admin/ for trying out.
#34767 Implemented the GET /persons request in Watcher Client API to display person list in Watcher Client UI.

To solve the error, the person is always saved in Watcher’s database and then synchronized with the analytics module through Central. Note that the person can only be recognized when delivered to the analytics node.
#33922 Fixed the issue with excessive timing of the GET /episodes request which may have caused the delayed display of the event list in Watcher Client UI.
#34110 Fixed the issue with unlimited DVR limit for motion records not passed properly to Central resulting in deletion of motion records based on expiration value instead of episodes_expiration.
#34259 Fixed the memory leaks in the inference service.
#34367 Fixed the issue with watcher-episodes service not loading episodes created after its (re)start.
#34389 Fixed the issue with video analytics starting in Ubuntu 20.04.

#34547 Fixed the encoding error that appeared at PostgreSQL installation when installing Watcher in a newly installed operating system.
#34562 Supported the use of gt, lt, lte, gte filters for episode’s opened_at, episodes filtration by license plate, and the use of _is, _is_not, and _like filters for all respective fields. [Learn more about filtering in Flussonic API].
#34636 The minimum required version of the Central has been increased so that the use of the tag mechanism becomes mandatory. This will help our customers who want to precisely control the distribution of streams between streamers, for example prohibit redistribution by required tags.
#34652 Fixed the issue with incorrect analytics episode URLs in the exported .csv file.
#34662 Fixed the issue with forbidden episodes (returning HTTP 403) returned by Watcher Admin API. Even administrators shall access only the episodes allowed by their permissions.
#34701 Fixed the issue with the camera list not displayed when tags are set for the streams or streamers.
#34824 Fixed the issue with episodes not fetched from Central to Watcher.
#34893 Fixed the issue with Central not restarted by the postinst script at Watcher update.
#35007 Fixed the postinst script freezing when updating Watcher.

Новое

#34201 Implemented the logics of stream allocation based on tags.
#34500 The streamer_hostname is marked as deprecated. The tags should be used instead to manage the stream allocation process. If streamer hostname is specified, it is considered a required tag for backward compatibility.
#34554 Supported the conversion of already set deprecated streamer_hostname to the required tag for backward compatibility.
#34612 Supported the conversion of streamer_hostname in a newly created/updated/deleted stream to the required tag to allow the use of streamer hostname by Watcher until switching to tags.
#34706 When Central is installed with Watcher, the default password for accessing Central Admin UI is now generated randomly to ensure security; the previously set default password is replaced with a randomly generated one at update to Watcher 23.12 or later. You can check and change the password in the /etc/central/central.conf config file. Note that the password you set in the EDIT_AUTH environment variable will not be affected.

Улучшено

#34187 Improved GET /streams/{name}/layouts request to support cursor, limit, and filtering by layout creation date.
#34743 Improved the display of the status of connection between Central and vision or identification nodes with a green indicator and the number of provisioned streams.
#34753 Improved the person updating procedure so that the photo would not be sent to the identification server if face fingerprint already exists and passed by Watcher in the request. This will help reduce the load to the analytics server.
#35060 Fixed the issue with episodes not fetched from the analytics nodes to Central as mistakenly considered invalid.
#35177 Improved the Agent provisioning process to make the allocation to a streamer faster when there are any troubles with connection, for example when connection between Central and Agent breaks.

Исправлено

#33239 Fixed the issue with streams restarting on streamers in some cases when config changed on Central.
#34319 Fixed the “does not exist” error returned by GET /streams/{name}/layouts request instead of layout list.
#34462 Fixed the logics for required tags to make sure that all stream’s required tags are present on the streamer where the stream is to be allocated, and vice versa.
#34475 Fixed the issue with streams of cameras with Agents becoming unavailable after Flussonic restart while the Agents were alive. Now, if the connection to the streamer is lost, Central sends a message to the Agent to reconnect with the streamer.
#34719 Fixed the issue with stream tags disappearing after Central restart.
#34733 Supported _is_null and _is_not_null filters for the fingerprint field to filter out the episodes generated by the old analytics module that are not supported by the identification service.
#34790 The cluster_key parameter is no longer required for streamers with vision and identification types because analytics nodes do not have cluster keys.
#34804 Fixed the issue where a newly added camera with Agent could not connect to the server without changing the streamer or saving the settings.
#34836 Fixed the issue with thumbnail_quality parameter taking values greater than one in the responses from Central while the schema states the range of [0..1]. The episodes with invalid values will not be returned any more.
#35245 Fixed the issue with disconnecting agents from the Central.
