 - Updated for vdr-1.7.15.
 
-2010-09-12: Version 0.4.3
+2010-09-15: Version 0.4.3
 
 - Renamed Sid scanner to section id scanner and added
   experimental Tid/Nid support into it.
-- Added validation for source addresses of socket data.
+- Added optional source address validation for UDP protocol.
 - Fixed audio pid detection in pid scanner.
 - Changed ProvidesChannel() to set the need of detaching
   receivers due to VDR's channel selection mechanism.

 - EIT scanning functionality can be disabled for all IPTV channels by applying
   the "disable_eitscan" patch to the VDR.
 
+- Source address validation can be enabled for UDP protocol separated by 
+  adding the source address after a ';' character: "U=239.192.0.1;239.192.0.2"
+
 Acknowledgements:
 
 - The IPTV section filtering code is derived from Linux kernel.
