- Moved the De-Interlace and the Rotate 180° commands from
  the Capture menu to Device Settings - General Tab

  registry (or INI file) when pressing OK. These settings were
  not lost because ContaCam saves everything to the registry
  (or INI file) when closing

  of Animated GIF, AVI and JPG attachments
- Animated GIFs are now entirely stored (before this version
  the engine stopped saving with the last detection frame)

  on first movement frame or after detection save,email,ftp
- Motion detector can now be set to: Off, Trigger File,
