This software version is need for MDMs with MDI-7 boards hardware revision 3 only, rev. 2 works as well.
Due to a new flash PROM for the firmware of the MDI-7 boards this software is needed. You can downgrade the software to other 2.5.x versions. After downgrading you have to upgrade to this version 2.5.5-8 before downgrading to any other version again.
Fixed a browser crash when segment resize was used.
Fixed an issue when resizing in the TouchUI was used.
Fixed an issue where a power down/screen saver on an MDI input could crash the MDM. We were not able to reproduce this issue, but made a fix from what we saw in the log-files.
Fixed a crash after many many REST commands received within a few seconds.
Fixed a crash after many REST commands GetScreenshot.
Fixed a problem when segments were swap and then not movable again.

Known issues:
Devices using Safari as a browser (iPhone, iPad) have a problem with double taps in recent updates of the browser. We hope Apple is correcting that.
In this version we tried to improve our code, that grew over the last 11 years.
Cropping, virtual inputs, streaming and resizing were the main focus.
We are using a newer Linux version with all kinds of new drivers including graphics drivers.
There is a new manual available see below.
We enhanced a few REST commands, so we do have a new version of the REST interface specification.
New Features:
The number of sub-screens can now be increased to 4. For details see new manual.
We enhanced the REST command ‘LoadLayouts’ to include layouts created on-screen and by the Touch-UI (ActivateProcedure).
If the aspect ratio of an input doesn’t fit the layout size, the window can now be centered.
Bug Fixes:
We improved the ‘Tester’ to test the REST commands.
Updated security features. i.e. we use SSH key for internal login.
Added detailed information of a stream.
We improved the handling of virtuell channels for streaming, loading images etc.
Improved the handling of the network setup.

Certain PCs connected to the inputs of the MDM can crash the MDM when they go to standby/sleep mode. Will be fixed in the next version. Short term fix: disable the power save/sleep at the PC.
