Resolved Issues in MainConcept Live Encoder V3.1.2

• [NDE-253]: The web client browser session no longer expires.

• [NDE-420]: Resolved an issue where certain interlaced and “Top field first” order streams would crash when a frame was suddenly in “Bottom field first” order.
  
• [NDE-422]: Fixed occasional green frame blinks in preview when using AJA 2SI mode.
  
• [NDE-423]: Updated the name/sourceName parameter in the REST API to make the Set and Get requests consistent.
  
• [NDE-424]: Multibyte characters now works as expected in URLs pointing to the Akamai CDN.
  
• [NDE-425]: The offline activation scripts can now run from other folders in addition to their own.

• [NDE-428]: Issue resolved that was causing a crash on Linux when encoding multiple HEVC layers on one GPU.
  
• [NDE-429]: Specifying a network path as an output directory for MP4 archiving files now works as expected.
  
• [NDE-430]: The web interface no longer occasionally freezes when outputting multiple streams to a CDN.
