Version 1.5.1

- Added cDevice::HasCi() so that devices with Common Interface can be avoided
  when tuning to an FTA channel, thus preserving the CAM resources even on budget
  DVB cards (suggested by Petri Helin).
- Fixed i18n characters for the Hungarian texts (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Now using cPipe instead of popen() in cCommand::Execute() to avoid problems
  with open file handles when starting background commands (thanks to Reinhard
  Nissl).
- Removed 'assert(0)' from cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a possible crash when loading an invalid XPM file (thanks to Martin Wache).
- Updated satellite names in 'sources.conf' (thanks to Thilo Wunderlich).
- Adapted 'libsi' to DVB-S2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed handling error status in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Shutdown handling has been rewritten (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Plugins can now implement the new function WakeupTime() to request VDR to wake
  up at a particular time (thanks to Udo Richter).
- The HUP signal now forces a restart of VDR (thanks to Udo Richter).
- cThread::EmergencyExit() has been replaced by ShutdownHandler.RequestEmergencyExit().
- Several references to "button" in a remote control context have been changed
  to "key" (based on a report from Marko Mäkelä regarding the "Menu button closes"
  text). The "MenuButtonCloses" parameter in 'setup.conf' has therefore been
  renamed to "MenuKeyCloses", accordingly. This will result in an "unknown config
  parameter: MenuButtonCloses" error message in the log file, so you may want to
  remove that entry from your 'setup.conf' file.
- Simplified the error handling in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (based on a
  discussion with Reinhard Nissl).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Increased the maximum number of DVB devices to 8 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The new Setup parameter "Channel entry timeout" can be used to customize the time
  since the last keypress until a numerically entered channel number is considered
  complete, and the channel is switched (suggested by Helmut Auer). Setting this
  parameter to 0 turns off the automatic channel switching, and the user will
  have to confirm the entry by pressing the "Ok" key.

(see the Setup parameters in MANUAL).
The command given in the '-s' option will be called with five parameters.
The first one is the time (in UTC) of the next timer event (as a time_t
type number), and the second one is the number of seconds from the current
time until the next timer event. Your program can choose which one to use
for programming some sort of hardware device that makes sure the computer
will be restarted in time before the next timer event. Your program must
also initiate the actual shutdown procedure of the computer. After this
your program should return to VDR. VDR will not automatically exit after
calling the shutdown program, but will rather continue normally until it
receives a SIGTERM when the computer is actually shut down. So in case
the shutdown fails, or the shutdown program for some reason decides not to
perform a shutdown, VDR will stay up and running and will call the shutdown
program again after another five minutes.
If there are currently no timers active, both parameters will be '0'.
In that case the program shall not set the hardware for automatic restart
and only perform the system shutdown. A program that uses the second parameter
to set the hardware for restart must therefore also check whether the first
parameter is '0'.
The first one is the time (in UTC) of the next timer event or plugin wakeup
time (as a time_t type number), and the second one is the number of
seconds from the current time until the next timer event. Your program can
choose which one to use for programming some sort of hardware device that
makes sure the computer will be restarted in time before the next timer

program, but will rather continue normally until it receives a SIGTERM when
the computer is actually shut down. So in case the shutdown fails, or the
shutdown program for some reason decides not to perform a shutdown, VDR
will stay up and running and will call the shutdown program again after a
while. The command will be started in a separate background session, so it
can continue to run even after VDR has terminated.
The third parameter contains the number of the channel that will be recorded
by the next timer (or 0 if no timer is present), and the fourth parameter
contains the file name of the recording as defined in the timer (or an empty
string if no timer is present). These can be used by the shutdown program to
show that information on some display interface etc.
If there are currently no timers active and there is no plugin wakeup
time, both parameters will be '0'. In that case the program shall not set
the hardware for automatic restart and only perform the system shutdown.
A program that uses the second parameter to set the hardware for restart
must therefore also check whether the first parameter is '0'.
If the wakeup time is given by a timer, the third parameter will be the
number of the channel that will be recorded, otherwise it will be 0. The
fourth parameter contains the file name of the recording as defined in the
timer, the name of the plugin that requested the wakeup time, or an empty
string if no wakeup time is present. These can be used by the shutdown
program to show that information on some display interface etc.
The fifth parameter indicates the reason why the shutdown was requested.
'0' means this is an automatic shutdown due to some timeout, while '1' means
