Release notes

New in 0.3.1
  • New options --sort, --dictionarySort and --dictStoplist for controlling sorting.
  • New options --folder and --recursive to select the folder(s) being accessed
  • New option --verbose=n to explicitly set the verbosity level of the output
  • The "Index name" entry is now only printed for --verbose=3 or greater
  • The "Index name" entry can be added to the output for --verbose=0 to --verbose=2 by using the new --index option (less cluttered output for normal verbosity levels).
  • The order in which extra information is provided with increasing verbosity has changed for --verbose=3 and above, and this is now documented.
  • Listing the recordings on the Beyonwiz is now faster, because of improvements in the "lazy loading" of data from the recording header files
  • The transfer rate for copy or move shown with --verbose=1 or greater is now averaged over the last 20MB transferred.


Fixed in 0.3.1
  • Some formatting problems in the documentation fixed.


Bugs in 0.3.1
  • Uses bignum package for 64-bit integers, even when the underlying Perl integers are 64 bits.
  • When resuming a download, may fetch up to 32MB more data than is necessary.
  • WizPnP device search is not supported when used in a Windows Command Prompt window. WizPnP search works correctly on Linux, MacOS X and Cygwin on Windows.
  • Minor know problems that deleting a recording can cause are documented in the BUGS section of the docuentation. It is not known whether deleting a recording using getWizPnP can cause any major problems on the Beyonwiz.
  • Does not allow operations on media files from the Beyonwiz contents folder (access to the contents folder is available only in Beyonwiz firmware versions 01.05.261 and later).
  • If a recording is copied or moved on the Beyonwiz, the moved recording "disappears" from getWizPnP, and the new copy cannot be accessed. This is a Beyonwiz firmware bug. Workaround is to make a new recording on the Beyonwiz, delete a recording on the Beyonwiz (not using getWizPnP[/i]), or to restart the Beyonwiz. This bug is expected to be fixed in the next public release of the Beyonwiz firmware (the one following 1.05.261).
  • Folder operations only work on firmware more recent than 1.05.261
  • Sort on title only works on firmware more recent than 1.05.261
