WARNING:
========

This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive
environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.

Approaching version 2.0.0:
==========================

If there are no more serious bug reports, the final version 2.0.0 of VDR
shall be released on March 31, 2013.
So please test this developer version intensely and report any problems
you might encounter as soon as possible.

The following language files still have the given number of untranslated texts:

da_DK.po: 134
el_GR.po: 197
hr_HR.po: 134
lt_LT.po: 1
nn_NO.po: 262
pt_PT.po: 28
sl_SI.po: 1
sr_SR.po: 80
tr_TR.po: 134

If nobody takes care of these, they will remain untranslated in version 2.0.0.

From the HISTORY file:
- Updated the Hungarian OSD texts (thanks to István Füley).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Marek Nazarko).
- Fixed using PATH_MAX and NAME_MAX (+/-1 because the first one includes the
  terminating 0, while the latter doesn't).
- The 'plugins' target of the VDR Makefile now also copies files matching the wildcard
  "lib$$i-*.so" (previously only "libvdr-*.so") and also descends into subdirectories
  of the plugin source.
- The parameters PATH and NAME to the --dirnames command line option may now be left
  empty to use the default values if only ENC shall be set (thanks to Helmut Auer for
  some improvements to this change).
- Fixed a possible "Channel not available" if a recording starts on a system with
  bonded devices (thanks to Siegfried Bosch).
- Fixed stopping an ongoing recording on a system with bonded devices, if a timer with
  a higher priority requires a different band.
- Updated the introductory text of the vdr.1 man page.
- Added a note to the INSTALL file regarding multiple disk setup becoming deprecated
  in a future version of VDR.
- When switching to a less privileged user id, VDR now sets the environment variables
  HOME, USER, LOGNAME and SHELL accordingly (thanks to Manuel Reimer).
- Updated the help and man page entry about the location of the epg.data file (thanks
  to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed creating a new VPS timer with the SVDRP command NEWT (thanks to Johann
  Friedrichs).
