New official release – Xeoma 23.8.10
View full list of changes | Download the new version | Subscribe to get notifications
The new official version of Xeoma is based on Xeoma Beta 23.8.10 which means that it focuses on fixing the operation of artificial intelligence options in the ‘Motion Detector’, ‘Object Recognizer’, ‘Cross-Line Detector’, ‘Visitors Counter’, ‘Parking Spots’ modules. That issue was that in old operating systems the modules would sometimes stop working after the Xeoma update, and in new UNIX-based systems Xeoma would sometimes display a false warning that a few more libraries were required for these features to function. This is fixed in the new release.
