2. A rare bug could break output connections to ibaPDA and make ibaVision stop sending data. #30630
3. After a physical network disconnect, ibaPDA inputs would sometimes not reconnect correctly and stop receiving data. #33337
4. Login as Windows user did not work correctly for ibaCapture video inputs. #26793
5. Offline processing: ibaVision would incorrectly report that certain DAT files did not contain any camera signals when configuring the master camera signal ID. #27508

2. ibaVision could sometimes hang when the configuration dialog was closed and video inputs were configured. #26406
3. Python plugin: Changing the Python home directory in the plugin settings could sometimes throw an unhandled exception. #25714
4. Python plugin: When using multiple video inputs and outputs in the same program, the inputs could sometimes be switched or duplicated (bug introduced in ibaVision v3.1.0). #25562

Version 3.1.0 - 2023-07-11

32-bit execution of ibaVision is no longer supported. All plugins and dependencies, e.g. HALCON, must support 64-bit.

5. The resolution in the video output module configuration could be set to values that are not supported (odd number for NVIDIA encoders and numbers not divisible by 16 for Intel). #24356
6. An uncaught InvalidOperationException could be thrown on the log tab.
7. Not all ibaVision programs would start automatically if one of them failed and/or the configuration contained inactive ibaVision programs.
8. The incorrect log level would be shown for certain log entries on the log tab.
9. ibaVision program processes did not exit because the ibaCapture Players, used to grab images, were not disposed. #24612
10. If ibaCapture was not installed on the system, ibaVision would always try to use ffdshow instead of LAVFilters for video decoding. #24880
11. Offline mode: Slave video modules would pass the timestamps from the master video module as control input value instead of the original image timestamps. #23021
12. Offline mode: When using a DAT file output module, the written values would have erroneous timestamps. #22976
13. Offline mode: Using a video input module as source for multiple parameters of the same procedure would result in processing timeouts. #24308
    Validation of such configurations will no longer succeed.
14. Halcon plugin: Validating HALCON programs without having the HALCON plugin installed would result in an error. #24167
15. Halcon plugin: Trying to view input video previews with the HALCON plugin without having HALON installed would result in a error. #23799
16. Python plugin: External Python modules placed directly in the Python script directory were not detected correctly. #22675
