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.

IMPORTANT:
==========

This version comes with revised versions of the Makefiles for VDR itself
and all of its standard plugins. As a result of this, existing plugins
will no longer build with this version of VDR, unless their Makefiles are
properly adapted. To do so, please follow the instructions given below.
There is also a generic patch (see below) that might help you update your
plugin's Makefile. If you do want to build this version of VDR with plugins
that don't have their Makefiles adapted yet, you can simply copy the Makefile,
Make.global and Make.config (if applicable) files from a previous version
of VDR into this source and use them. Note, though, that you cannot mix
old and new Makefiles. All Makefiles for VDR and all plugins must be either
old or new!
PLEASE GIVE THE PLUGIN DEVELOPERS SOME TIME TO ADAPT THEIR MAKEFILES
ACCORDINGLY. AFTER ALL, IT'S CHRISTMAS, SO THEY PROBABLY HAVE BETTER
THINGS TO DO THAN SIT AT THEIR COMPUTERS ;-).

From the HISTORY file:
- Changed the type of the TimerMatch parameter in cSkinDisplayMenu::SetItemEvent() from
  'int' to 'eTimerEvent' (reported by Christoph Haubrich).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed cOsd::GetBitmap() to always return NULL if a non-exising area is requested.
- Added several missing "`ls $^`" in the calls to xgettext in plugin Makefiles and the
  "newplugin" script.
- Fixed setting the --package-name and --package-version options in the calls to
  xgettext in several plugin Makefiles.
- Added "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE" to the
  DEFINES in the Makefile (somehow got lost from Make.config.template in version 1.7.13).
- Removed some redundancy in the Makefile/Make.global/Make.config mechanism (suggested
  by Christopher Reimer). The file Make.global is no longer used, and plugin Makefiles
  don't include the file Make.config any more. Instead they now retrieve all necessary
  information through calls to pkg-config.
- The plugin Makefiles now have a separate 'install' target (suggested by Christopher
  Reimer). In order to still allow the normal building of VDR (with all plugins in its
  ./PLUGINS/src subdirectory, the plugin libraries in ./PLUGINS/lib and the i18n files in
  ./locale) the VDR Makefile checks the settings of LIBDIR and LOCDIR when building the
  plugins from within the VDR source directory. If these macros have their default values,
  then the 'install' targets of the plugins' Makefiles are called. Otherwise the 'all'
  targets are called and the plugins are merely built, and will have to be installed by a
  call to 'make install-plugins'. This now also allows a user to copy a plugin source to
  any directory, change into that directory and do 'make' and 'make install' to have the
  plugin installed to wherever the local installation of VDR expects them.
- Plugin Makefiles now use DESTDIR and the 'install' program (thanks to Christopher Reimer).
- Due to the changes to the plugin Makefiles, existing plugins will not build with this
  version of VDR any more. You can either use the new 'newplugin' script to generate a
  dummy plugin directory and use the Makefile from there (adapting it to your particular
  plugin), or apply the patch from
  ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.33-pluginmakefile.diff
  to your Makefile to make the necessary changes (see comments in that file for details).
- Added the new menu categories mcChannelEdit, mcTimerEdit, mcScheduleNow, mcScheduleNext,
  mcRecordingInfo, mcPluginSetup, mcSetupOsd, mcSetupEpg, mcSetupDvb, mcSetupLnb,
  mcSetupCam, mcSetupRecord, mcSetupReplay, mcSetupMisc and mcSetupPlugins.
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed replay stuttering close to the end of an ongoing recording (reported by Andreas
  Regel).
- Fixed cIndexFile::GetNextIFrame() to properly handle the case where the very last frame
  is an I-frame (which normally shouldn't occur).
- Fixed replaying ongoing recordings from other VDR instances.

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.

From the HISTORY file:
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Changed the Green button in the "Edit timer" menu from "Once" to "Single"
  (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed some typos in HISTORY and CONTRIBUTORS (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- The channel name column in the "What's on now/next" menu now adjusts its width
  to display the full short name of each channel (suggested by Dominic Evans).
- Dropped the meanwhile obsolete script 'i18n-to-gettext'.
- Removed the obsolete function cPlugin::RegisterI18n().
- Removed the obsolete typedef tI18nPhrase.
- Adapted menu column widths of 'skincurses' to the wider HD OSD sizes.
- Deactivated definition of __RECORDING_H_DEPRECATED_DIRECT_MEMBER_ACCESS (recording.h)
  and LEGACY_CRECEIVER (receiver.h) to trigger an error for any plugin that still
  uses the respective code. You can reactivate these to quickly make your plugin
  compile again, but beware that these code parts will be removed in one of the next
  versions.
- Made the "overloaded-virtual" warning an error to detect hidden overloaded
  virtual functions (thanks to Anssi Hannula for pointing out -Werror=...).
  Plugin authors may want to change -Woverloaded-virtual to -Werror=overloaded-virtual
  in their Makefiles.
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Improved fast forwarding to the end of a timeshift recording.
- The new function cDevice::DeviceName() returns a string identifying the name of
  the given device.
- When toggling a timer between "Single" and "Repeating", the previous setting is now
  retained in case the user toggles back to the original value.
- When estimating the remaining disk space (in hours), the average data rate of all
  existing recordings is now taken into account. If this value can't be determined,
  the previous value of 25.75 MB/min is taken.
- No longer using GetFont() (which is not thread safe) in the 'osddemo' plugin.
- No longer using GetFont() (which is not thread safe) in cSubtitleRegion::UpdateTextData().
- Fixed a memory leak in cSubtitleRegion::UpdateTextData().
- Moved setting LC_NUMERIC further up to make sure any floating point numbers use a
  decimal point (suggested by Tobias Grimm).
- Added missing channel locking to cEIT.
- Fixed reduced bpp support for DVB subtitles (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Reverted some improvements to Make.config.template (thanks to Christian Ruppert).
- Fixed handling IDLEPRIORITY in cDvbDevice::ProvidesChannel() (thanks to Frank
  Schmirler).

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.

From the HISTORY file:
- The fps value for channels where it differs from the default is now set correctly
  when pausing live video.
- Increased the average character estimate for calculating tab positions in skins,
  to better suit wide fonts (reported by Rudi Hofer).
- Fixed getting the subsystem ids of DVB devices in case they have been rearranged
  via udev rules.
- Added several cTimer::Set...() functions (suggested by Alexander Rieger).
- Changed the return value of cTimer::SetFile() to 'void'.
- Revoked "Fixed a possible deadlock in time shift mode" because it caused trouble with
  output on vdr-xine and dxr3, and also short glitches when replaying on any output
  device.
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling subtitle color palettes on channels where subtitles appear
  "word by word" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed upscaling cBitmaps with anti-aliasing (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting
  a problem with color palettes in subtitles).
- Fixed getting the video aspect ratio for scaling subtitles.
- Removed the "PrimaryLimit". Old "full featured" DVB cards can be run with the
  --outputonly option to avoid problems with recording high bandwidth channels.
  Besides, with HDTV becoming ever more popular those cards are pretty much obsolete
  by now (the TT S2-6400 has no problems recording and replaying high bandwidth
  channels simultaneously). And, last but not least, people using software players
  won't notice this change, anyway.
- Since cReceivers can have priorities between -99 and 99, the priority
  for an unused device has been changed from -1 to -100.
- If the first event in a schedule has a table id of 0x00, any incoming EIT data for
  that schedule from the DVB stream will be completely ignored. This way an external
  EPG source can fill the schedules with EPG data that will not be messed up with
  that from the DVB data stream. Note, though, that this means VDR can not do VPS
  controlled recordings with such events!
- Added some typecasts to silence gcc compiler warnings (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling overlapping timers in case a VPS timer with higher priority needs
  to interrupt a timer with lower priority.
- The code for the RCU remote control unit has been moved into a separate plugin
  named "rcu".
  The REMOTE=RCU option in the 'make' call for VDR is now obsolete.
  The command line option --rcu is now obsolete. Use -Prcu instead. If you have
  used --rcu with a device path, use -P"rcu -d<device>".
- Added support for automatically selecting subtitles when playing old PES
  recordings made with the subtitles plugin (thanks to Anssi Hannula).
- Revised priority handling to allow receivers with a priority that is lower than
  that of live viewing (with suggestions from Frank Schmirler):
  + An idle device (one that is not used for live viewing and has no receiver
    attached to it) now has priority IDLEPRIORITY (-100).
  + An unused CAM slot now has priority IDLEPRIORITY.
  + The default priority of a cReceiver is now MINPRIORITY (-99).
  + A device that is used only for live viewing (no matter whether it's in Transfer
    Mode or real live mode) now has priority TRANSFERPRIORITY (-1).
  + The function cDevice::Receiving() now returns true if there is any receiver
    attached to the device. Its boolean parameter has no meaning any more.
  + The default value for the Priority parameter of the function cDevice::ProvidesChannel()
    has been changed to IDLEPRIORITY.
- Added a Query parameter to cDevice::GetDevice(), so that devices can be queried
  without side effects when zapping.
- Replaced min(max()) calls with the new function constrain().
- Fixed handling OSD color button texts in case a menu item has texts of its own
  (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). If a plugin creates derived cMenuEditItems that set
  color button texts, these should not set the texts directly by calling
  cSkinDisplay::Current()->SetButtons(), but rather call the new member function
  cMenuEditItem::SetHelp().
- Moved the call to cStatus::MsgChannelSwitch(this, 0) to the beginning of
  cDevice::SetChannel(), so that any receivers that have been attached to the
  device by plugins may be detached before the final call to GetDevice().
  This actually reverts "Only calling cStatus::MsgChannelSwitch() if a channel
  is actually going to be switched or has actually been switched successfully"
  which was made in version 1.1.10, so please report if this has any unwanted
  side effects.
