Watcher 23.08

• #29926 (new) The identical API for managing persons is now provided by both Flussonic Vision and Flussonic Central. The primary database for persons is on Central's side while Vision module synchronizes with it.
• #29183 (fixed) Fixed the issue with inability to add a new person due to "MultipleFacesDetectedError".
• #31320 (fixed) Fixed the issue with streams not deleted from Central when corresponding cameras were deleted from Watcher. However, the streams that were not deleted before we fixed this issue will remain in Central; we recommend you to delete them manually or (for advanced users only!) delete all streams from Central and re-provision them from scratch.
• #31422 (fixed) Fixed the issue with DVR player not being available when the camera was offline.
• #32072 (fixed) Fixed the issue with crashes and freezes of the license plate recognition.

Watcher 23.07

• #23563 (new) The database records of old events (motion, LPR, face recognition) are now cleaned up automatically based on the new episodes mechanism. Re-save all the cameras where those events are enabled in order to make sure that this feature works correctly.

• #31226 (new) The episodes_expiration parameter is now provisioned from Watcher to Central according to the configured DVR depths for records with detected motion events.
