We have released a new Software Capture for PC version (9.1.0) that introduces the SmartUpload algorithm for recording uploads, improved error alerts for remotely scheduled captures and 15+ smaller improvements and fixes. Please note that this release has been pushed out to all instances within the United States, Canada and European Union zone.

1. New Software Capture Confidence Monitor User Interface
   Matching the recently released user interface on Apple, the PC-based Capture application now has a similar look-and-feel with larger Action Buttons for key actions.
   
2. SmartUpload Capability Introduced for PC
   Implemented SmartUpload algorithm that is able to perform better on low-bandwidth, rural and high-latency connections. This should reduce situations where weak or intermittent connections result in slow uploads due to frequent disconnections.
3. Default Location for Recorded Media Changed to My Media Top-Level Folder
   Changed the default location where captures go to the top-level Media Collection rather than the Default Collection. This change was made so that novice users who record will see their recording available immediately after clicking on My Media, rather than having to go into the Default Collection sub-folder.
4. Highlights of Smaller Fixes and Improvements

• #168906166 – Reduced the file size of the raw audit log information used for troubleshoot or debug purposes.
