0686038af3 Version 1.1.29 
- Fixed detecting broken connection to the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel).
- Now sending CA descriptors to the CAM in the same sequence as they were originally
  received (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- The PCR PID can now be set separately from the video PID. The syntax in the
  'channels.conf' file is, for example, ...:164+17:..., where 164 is the video PID
  and 17 is the PCR PID. The separator is a '+' sign, not a comma or semicolon as
  with the audio PIDs, because this is not an alternate PID, but rather an
  additional, necessary PID. In order to use this feature you need a driver version
  dated 2003-04-27 or higher (setting the PCR PID didn't work in earlier versions).
- Fixed deleting the last recording in the "Recordings" menu, which started pausing
  live video (thanks to Christoph Friederich for reporting this one).
- Now setting the "broken link" flag for GOPs at the beginning of a new video
  sequence, which avoids artefacts when cutting (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Removed the Mute() call from cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (suggested by Andreas
  Schultz).
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Extended logging info when starting/stopping timers to show the channel number,
  start/stop time and the file name (suggested by Manuel Hartl).
- Added a note regarding non-VDR files in the /videoX directories to INSTALL
  (suggested by Benjamin Harling).
- Skipping keys that come in too fast from LIRC (thanks to Christian Jacobsen).
- Avoiding short display of the main menu if a plugin displays its own OSD and
  is started through a user defined key macro (thanks to Andreas Mair for reporting
  this one).
- Reduced the time to wait for EPG data when starting a recording to 3 seconds.
- The new SVDRP command STAT can be used to request information about the disk
  usage (thanks to Thomas Koch).
- Fixed faulty calculation of section length in eit.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).

b6e4637356 Version 1.1.25 
- Fixed high CPU load during replay (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out this
  one).
- Fixed margin handling in cRingBufferLinear.
- Now polling the output device in 'Transfer Mode' and retrying to put packets
  into the ring buffer.
- Resetting the CAM slot in case communication breaks down.
- Improved keyboard detection (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' (thanks to Andy Carter).
- Fixed broken support for raw OSDs of plugins (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for
  reporting this one).
- Broken CAM connections are now restored automatically.

fe9499ba90 Version 1.1.17 
- Added new entries to 'ca.conf'.
- Fixed closing unused PID handles (thanks to Stefan Schluenss for reporting this
  one).
- Added more examples to 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed disabling multiple recordings on a single DVB card (comment out the definition
  of the macros DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS in
  dvbdevice.c).
- Plugins can now have their very own OSD setup in the object they return from
  a call to cPlugin::MainMenuAction(). In order to implement this, the return type
  of cPlugin::MainMenuAction() had to be changed from (cOsdMenu *) to (cOsdObject *).
  So in case you are compiling an existing plugin with this version of VDR and you
  get an error message, simply change cOsdMenu to cOsdObject in the plugin's source
  for the MainMenuAction() function.
  Plugin authors who have so far (ab)used the cControl mechanism to implement their
  own raw OSD should take a look at the new demo plugin 'osddemo'. It implements
  a very primitive game that shows how a plugin can have its own raw OSD. Especially
  look into cLineGame and see how it implements the Show() function. See also
  the chapter on "User interaction" in PLUGINS.html.
- Added three new fields to the lines in 'channels.conf': NID, TID and RID. NID and
  TID are the Network and Transport Stream IDs, respectively. RID is an additional ID
  that can be used to tell apart channels that would otherwise be indistinguishable.
  This is typically the case with radio channels, which may have the same NID, TID
  and SID, but different "radio IDs". This new field is therefore called RID ("radio
  ID"). Currently NID and TID are not yet used by VDR and should always be 0. The
  RID is actually used when building the "unique channel ID", so if you have channels
  in your 'channels.conf' file that cause error messages when loading, you can set
  the RIDs of these channels to different values.
  When reading an old 'channels.conf' these new fields will be automatically
  initialized to 0 and once the file is written back to disk they will be appended
  to the channel definitions.
  Thanks to Régis Bossut for pointing out that with some providers the channels can
  only be distinguished through the RID.
- The "unique channel ID" now contains an optional 5th part (the RID). See man vdr(5).
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' and made some channels unique using the new RID
  (thanks to Andreas Kool for pointing out the problems).
- Made some channels unique in 'channels.conf.terr' using the new RID.
- Extended the '-l' option to allow logging to LOG_LOCALn (n=0..7) by writing, for
  instance, '-l 3.7' (suggested by Jürgen Schmidt).
- Now deleting stale lock files if they have a time stamp that is outside the window
  'now +/- LOCKFILESTALETIME'. This improves things in cases where the system time
  makes far jumps, so that a lock file might end up with a time stamp that lies
  in the distant future (thanks to Oliver Endriss).

8b5d404083 Version 1.1.16 
- Fixed saving the polarization parameter of channels that have a number in the
  'source' parameter (thanks to Peter Seyringer for reporting this one).
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' (thanks to Andy Carter).
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Achim Lange).
- First step towards a "unique channel ID". The channel ID is a human readable
  string, made up from several parameters of the channel's definition in the file
  'channels.conf' (see man vdr(5) for details).
  In order for the "unique channel ID" to work, all channel definitions now must
  be unique with respect to the combination of their Source, Frequency and SID
  parameters. You may have to fix your 'channels.conf' manually if there are error
  messages in the log file when loading it. BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR
  'channels.conf' AND 'timers.conf' FILE BEFORE SWITCHING TO THIS VERSION, AND CHECK
  VERY CAREFULLY WHETHER YOUR TIMERS ARE STILL SET TO THE RIGHT CHANNELS!
  When reading an existing 'timers.conf', the channels will be identified as before
  by their numbers. As soon as this file is written back, the channel numbers will
  be replaced by the channel IDs. After that it is possible to manually edit the
  'channels.conf' file and rearrange the channels without breaking the timers.
  Note that you can still define new timers manually by using the channel number.
  VDR will correctly identify the 'channel' parameter in a timer definition and
  use it as a channel number or a channel ID, respectively. Also, the SVDRP commands
  that return timer definitions will list them with channel numbers in order to
  stay compatible with existing applications.
  The channel ID is also used in the 'epg.data' file to allow EPG information from
  different sources to be stored, which would previously have been mixed up in case
  they were using the same 'service ID'. Note that the contents of an existing
  'epg.data' file from a previous version will be silently ignored, since it doesn't
  contain the new channel IDs. When inserting EPG data into VDR via SVDRP you now also
  need to use the channel IDs.
  Currently the EPG data received from the DVB data stream only uses the 'Source'
  and 'Service ID' part of the channel ID. This makes it work for channels with
  the same service IDs on different sources (like satellites, cable or terrestrial).
  However, it doesn't work yet if the service IDs are not unique within a specific
  source. This will be fixed later.
- Added missing SID parameters to 'channels.conf'. Some channels have been removed
  since they are apparently no longer broadcasted.
- Removed dropping EPG events from "other" streams that have a duration of 86400
  seconds or more (was introduced in version 1.1.10). This has become obsolete by
  the modification in version 1.1.13, which fixed fetching the current/next information
  to handle cases where the duration of an event is set wrongly and would last beyond
  the start time of the next event. Besides, the change in 1.1.10 broke handling EPG
  data for NVOD channels.
- Fixed a compiler warning regarding cMenuChannels::Del() and MenuTimers::Del() hiding
  the base class virtual functions.

1a8a081629 Version 1.1.15 
- Completely switched to the new CVS HEAD version of the linux-dvb driver.
  The NEWSTRUCT compile time switch is now obsolete. The required driver is now
  the CVS HEAD version dated 2002-11-01 or later.
- Adjusted the INSTALL file to the 1.1.x version.
- Only accepting key presses from the current remote control when learning (thanks to
  Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed the EPG scanner, which broke 'Transfer Mode' as soon as it kicked in
  (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling audio tracks in cDvbDevice.
- Updated channels.conf.terr (thanks to Uwe Scheffler).
- Fixed displaying the group separators in the channel display (thanks to Martin
  Hammerschmid for pointing out this one).
- The Makefile now includes the file Make.config (if present in the VDR source
  directory), which allows the user to overwrite several settings with individual
  values (suggested by Andreas Schultz). The VDR distribution archive does not
  contain this file in order to not overwrite a user defined file. There is a
  Make.config.template which contains the default values of the macros the user
  can overwrite.
- Since there have been changes to the 'newplugin' script authors of plugins
  may want to newly create their plugins' Makefiles with the new version of this
  script, and adapt them to their individual needs (make sure you don't overwrite
  your existing plugin directory - make a backup copy first!).
- Fixed reading EPG data via the SVDRP command PUTE (it changed the current
  service ID).
- Fixed closing all dup'ed file descriptors in cPipe.
- Implemented a plugin interface for additional audio processing (see PLUGINS.html
  under "Dolby Digital").
  The functionality of the '-a' command line option has been reactivated.
  Since the author doesn't have any Dolby Digital equipment this may or may not
  work as expected. There may still be some places where a call to cAudios::Clear()
  or cAudios::Mute() is necessary. Those with Dolby Digital equipment should please
  take a look at this and maybe send patches.
  Replaying Dolby Digital in ways other than through VDR's '-a' option will have to
  be implemented as plugins. Those who have written patches for VDR version 1.0.x
  should convert their work into the proper plugins for version 1.1.x.
  Note to authors of cPlayer derived plugins: please read the modified comments
  in device.h regarding the member functions cDevice::Clear(), cDevice::Mute() and
  cDevice::PlayAudio(). Derived classes must call these base class member functions
  to make sure all registered cAudio objects are properly handled. Also note that
  the return type of cDevice::PlayAudio() has been changed to 'void', since this
  function always has to accept the entire data block immediately and there is
  nothing that could be reasonably done in case an error occurs in one of the
  cAudio objects.
- Now checking the driver's DVB_API_VERSION in dvbdevice.h. Since VDR now requires
  a driver dated 2002-11-01 or later the MIN_DVB_DRIVER_VERSION_FOR_TIMESHIFT and
  DVB_DRIVER_VERSION stuff has been replaced with DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE,
  which can be used to disable simultaneous recording and replaying on the primary
  DVB device in case there are problems with this.

313e33539c Version 1.1.12 
- Fixed a missing Flush() call in the remote control learning procedure (thanks
  to Oliver Endriss).
- Modified channel handling to cover all parameters necessary for DVB-C and DVB-T
  (see man vdr(5) for the meaning of the additional parameters stored in the field
  previously named 'polarisation'). Thanks to Uwe Scheffler and Andy Carter for testing.
  If you have a system with different kinds of DVB cards, like DVB-T and DVB-C,
  for instance, there is no more need to distinguish the channels through the
  'Ca' parameter in order to assign them to the various DVB cards. This is now
  taken care of by the "source" parameter. So a channel marked as "terrestrial",
  for example, will only be received on DVB-T cards.
  Note that the cChannel class has been moved into a separate file (channels.[ch]),
  and that all data members have been made private and are now only accessible
  through member functions. You may have to change any plugin code that accesses
  cChannel data accordingly.
- The new configuration file 'sources.conf' contains the various signal sources
  (satellites, cable and terrestrial) which are used in 'channels.conf' and
  'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for adding some satellites to
  'sources.conf' and Oliver Endriss and Lauri Tischler for testing and debugging).
- The 'diseqc' parameter in the channel definitions has been redefined to hold the
  "source" of the given channel (which can be either a satellite, cable or terrestrial).
  For compatibility with channels.conf files from older versions, numeric values in
  this parameter will be tolerated, but they have no meaning. If you want to use
  DiSEqC you will need to replace these old values with the proper source identifiers
  defined in the new configuration file 'sources.conf'. See how this is done in the
  'channels.conf' file that comes with the VDR package.
- The new configuration file 'diseqc.conf' can be used to set up the individual
  diseqc configuration (see man vdr(5) for a description of the file format).
- The "Edit channel" menu has a new entry "Source:" in which the source of this
  channel can be selected (either a satellite, cable or terrestrial). The set of
  parameters at the end of this menu will change according to the type of source.
- The "Use DiSEqC" parameter in the "Setup/LNB" menu has been moved to the beginning
  of the list and disables the rest of the parameters when set to "yes", since these
  are now only meaningful if DiSEqC is _not_ used.
- Removed some unnecessary #includes from eit.c and changed cMenuRecordings::Del()
  to cMenuRecordings::Delete() to avoid warnings in gcc-3.2 (thanks to Andreas
  Schultz for pointing this out).
- Improved skipping channels that are (currently) not available (thanks to Stefan
  Huelswitt).
- Updated channels.conf.terr and channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler).
- Fixed a bug when pressing the "Blue" button in the main menu without having
  displayed it (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).

ae8a947367 Version 1.1.0 
- Begin of the 1.1 development branch. THIS IS NOT A STABLE VERSION!
  The current stable version for every day use is still the 1.0 branch.
- First step towards a universal plugin interface. See the file PLUGINS.html
  for a detailed description. The man page vdr(1) describes the new options '-L'
  and '-P' used to load plugins. This first step implements the complete "outer"
  shell for plugins. The "inner" access to VDR data structures will follow.
- The VDR version number is now displayed in the title line of the "Setup" menu.
