                 FIXES
===============================================================================
This release of SwitchView IP firmware contains the following fixes:
			
1. Several improvements from the 1.0.5.3 image

2. SwitchView IP Remote Access Device User level privileges could not install 
    viewer

	The SwitchView IP Remote Access Device security level ‘user’ was 
              fixed for “Viewer failed to install” problem onto a Windows client. 
	Note: The client security still needs to have administrator rights. 

3. Web Video Session  3DES encryption 

	Selecting 3DES encryption setting will now be persistent between 
	viewer sessions.

4. Unsupported resolution error message

	When a resolution that was not supported was detected, the 
	SwitchView IP viewer displayed a popup message.  
	If the user didn’t respond to this message, the viewer session would 
	timeout and sometimes could not reconnect.  
	A fix was made and the pop up message was moved to the status bar.

5. Manufacturing test support code

6. SwitchView IP Remote Access Device flash stability improvements
