Carousel 5.0.5 Release Notes
=========================================================

                * Bug 2396 | Caption data not saved in weather crawl bulletins.
-The web interface was "forgetting" to reload the caption for weather crawl bulletins.

      * Bug 2412 | Disable transitions on VIA hardware
-Force cross-fade transition on minimal VIA/S3 graphics hardware.

      * Bug 2413 | Simple graphics manager crashes with "Object disposed exception"
-Certain playback hardware caused the error in the simple graphics manager.

      * Bug 2415 | Installers throw an Adobe Flash error
-Installers have been updated to include the latest version of Flash.

      * Bug 2459 | Poorly quoted strings cause error to be thrown when deleting media
-Fixed code so that media is properly deleted.

      * Bug 2467 | EDS doesn't update on a regular schedule
-EDS bulletins now update their content every 15 minutes, in addition to every time an event "expires."

                * Bug 2664 | UI lets you delete a crawl zone that is still referenced by a channel
-You can no longer delete a crawl zone that is "in use" by a channel.  Previously, erratic display behavior would occur if the crawl zone was deleted.

      * Bug 2673 | Flash bulletins can erroneously accept video files
-The web ui no longer lets you upload video files as a Flash bulletin.  Files ending in ".swf" are the only format accepted by the Flash bulletin.

                * Bug 2758 | SimpleGraphicsManager has poor locking
-Strange deadlocking could sometimes occur in the simple graphics manager.  Locking has been improved to prevent deadlocks.

      * Bug 2759 | SimpleGraphicsManager does not obey monitor offset
-Simply put, the simple graphics manager never did monitor offset correctly.  This has been resolved, and you can offset the DisplayEngine in simple mode as expected.

      * Bug 2770 | Templates made with missing fonts are rendered poorly
-If a template was created with a font that no longer exists on the server, the text would be rendered with a default font and get clipped, resulting in missing text.  Now, the default font is still used, however the text is resized correctly to avoid clipping.

      * Bug 2827 | Background audio (still) doesn't fade up/down after several minutes/hours/cycles
-Poor multi-threading code would sometimes cause the DisplayEngine to "forget" what background audio it should or shouldn't be playing.

      * Bug 2828 | AudioHelper becomes erratic if DisplayEngine quits unexpectedly 
-When communication between the AudioHelper and the DisplayEngine was unexpectedly severed, the Helper would become unresponsive.  The Helper now detects the communication loss, and exits cleanly.

      * Bug 2837 | Overlay doesn't resize when changing font sizes
-Overlay now "poofs" out and back in with the new font size.
