Ethernet - LAN Audio - AES67 & Livewire firmware changelog
2.0
Compatible with new GUI (Need Server/Remote 4.0.0)
2.0.35
(Preview 2025-03-31)
- Advertising : Correct Livewire sending unstable information, Logs improvements
2.0.34
(2024-10-14)
- Advertising : Can choose to automatically disable unused advertisement
- Advertising : better automatic memory limitation
2.0.33
(Testing - 2024-10-10)
- Advertising : limit stored sessions to ~4000 to avoid out of memory
- More aggressive input filter of multicast packets to avoid drops due to unwanted packets
2.0.32
(2023-12-01)
- Correct multicast failure break initialization (Livewire No clock received) [BUG in 2.0.30 and 2.0.31]
2.0.31
(2023-02-16)
- Protect booting with slow switches (Cisco) which results in "Nothing received".
BUG: When multiple inputs are on the same channel at boot, the Livewire clock is not received.
2.0.30
(Testing - 2022-11-28)
- Protect some unlikely errors, for fixing startup nonworking streams
BUG: When multiple inputs are on the same channel at boot, the Livewire clock is not received.
2.0.29
(2021-04-09)
- Fix PTP timestamp race condition, which can lead to reboot when traffic is too heavy
2.0.28
(2021-03-24)
- Can specify PTP Announce/Request Interval and Timeout
- Support IGMP v3 (Experimental)
2.0.27
(2021-02-23)
Livewire GPIO: reversed hardware level logic from previous version
- Revert the GPIO logic level for Livewire. For Axia, a Low level is active (and not high)
2.0.26
(2020-06-19)
- Corrected: AES67 Slave clock does not switch from a Master to another
2.0.25
(2019-12-02)
- Corrected: Default broadcast is not applied
- Correct scale so upgrading from old version does not remove AES67 input settings.
2.0.24
(2019-11-26)
- Corrected handling of 1-channel stream (copy left channel to right)
- Better PTP timestamping (rx timestamp pool empty)
2.0.23
(2019-10-10)
- Corrections for Dante compatibility (constant o= in SDP for reconnexion after reboot ; accept numbers in Session name)

- Avoid to save volatile data in flash
- Other minor changes
2.0.20
(2019-03-28)
- Change DSP for Dante compatibility.
- Corrected SAP session name check
- Corrected Livewire GPO snake reconnect
