 VDR Plugin 'streamdev' Revision History
 ---------------------------------------
  
+- The patches intcamdevices and ignore_missing_cam are no longer required
+  on VDR >= 1.7.30. The localchannelprovide patch became obsolete with VDR
+  1.7.21.
 - Added option to suspend live TV when the server starts
 - Set device occupied when streamdev switches away LiveTV on the server, to
   reduce the risk that the VDR main loop immediately switches back, resulting
