Change Release Notes

Face Detection has been re-written from the ground up - and now uses less processor and is more accurate. Also in this release is an update to the EZ-SDK. This is a major release update for the SDK, which includes new features and command syntax. You may receive errors with your code against the new DLL, but the online documentation and code examples should help you through

Face Detection v2 implemented (faster and increased accuracy)
Fixed documentation of IF command examples in EZ-Script
