90bc2f18e3 Version 1.4.1-1
- Added "-fPIC" to the compiler options in Make.config.template when compiling
  plugins (thanks to Udo Richter). If you use your own Make.config file, you may
  want to add these lines there, too.
- Added some comment to cDevice::GetDevice() to explain how the individual
  conditions are put together to make a decision on which device to use.
- Updated 'S13E' in 'sources.conf' (thanks to Antti Hartikainen).
- Now making sure VPS timers don't get stuck with outdated events, and that the
  actual device isn't used for updating a VPS timer's event as long as other
  free devices are available.
- Modified rcu.c to better handle RC5 codes.
- Added a missing variable initialization in cRingBufferLinear::cRingBufferLinear()
  (thanks to Prakash Punnoor).
- Fixed handling relative link targets in the ReadLink() function (reported by
  Patrick Cernko).
- Now making sure a VPS timer has a schedule in case the epg.data file didn't
  contain one when VDR was started.

5d8e3b18dc Version 1.4.0-1
- Updated 'S110W' in 'sources.conf'.
- Adjusted the 'runvdr' script so that the user can fill in the functions to
  detect, load and unload the necessary driver modules (thanks to M. Kiesel for
  reporting that it still used DVBDIR).
- Added 'eval' to the $VDRCMD call in 'runvdr' to avoid problems with quoting
  (suggested by Udo Richter).
- Fixed missing ',' in the Italian and Polish OSD texts (thanks to Marko Mäkelä).
- Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta).
- Fixed handling the "Power" key in case a timer is about to start recording
  (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Fixed the character 'r' in fontosd and fontsml for iso8859-2 (thanks to Vladimír
  Bárta).
- When checking whether a VPS timer has entered the "VPS margin", the event's start
  time is now used instead of the timer's start time, because otherwise events that
  start way off of their VPS time wouldn't be recorded correctly.
- If VPS timers are active, their events are now being kept up to date if there
  are any free devices available.
- Fixed the character #207 in fontosd for iso8859-2 (thanks to Vladimír Bárta).
- Fixed handling unknown codes when learning LIRC remote control codes (reported
  by Helmut Auer).
- Since some channels (especially the Austrian ORF) randomly change the ids of their
  EPG events, VDR now gives the start time precedence when searching for existing
  events.
- Fixed automatically updating the CAM menu in case the whole operation (for
  instance a firmware update) takes longer than the menu timeout.

293ed4027e Version 1.3.47
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed a crash when setting the time transponder in the Setup menu, caused by the
  new 'noneString' in cMenuEditChanItem (reported by Thomas Günther).
- Added NULL checks to some strdup() calls in menuitems.c (suggested by Darren
  Salt).
- Removed the unnecessary 'value' member from cMenuEditItem.
- Fixed the initial setting of the time transponder setup parameter (reported
  by Thomas Günther).
- Fixed unnecessary Set() calls in cMenuEditIntItem::ProcessKey().
- Allowing a tolerance for symbol rate values that are off by one (thanks to
  Richard Lithvall).
- Added VBITeletextDescriptorTag, TeletextDescriptorTag, LocalTimeOffsetDescriptorTag
  and PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor to 'libsi' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Using geteuid() to check whether VDR is running as user 'root' (suggested by
  Tobias Grimm).
- Added a missing "Key$" in skincurses.c (reported by Darren Salt).
- Reintroduced the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (upon
  request by Ville Skyttä, as in the initial patch from Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed the vdr.1 man page (a single DVB card can record and do live tv).
- The preferred audio language is now automatically selected when starting replay.
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- The new function cPlugin::Active() can be used by a plugin to indicate that it
  is still busy and the system should not shut down or restart (based on a patch
  from Sascha Volkenandt). See PLUGINS.html for details.
- Fixed setting the 'Delta' parameter when calling the shutdown script with
  no active timer (reported by Helge Lenz).
- In order to make sure that plugins are compiled with the same DVB driver header
  files as VDR itself, the definition of DVBDIR has been removed from the VDR
  Makefile. If you are using a driver version that has its header files at a location
  other than /usr/include/linux/dvb, you can define DVBDIR in the Make.config
  file (see also INSTALL). Note that if you already have a Make.config file of your
  own, you should add the lines

  ifdef DVBDIR
  INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include
  endif

  to its end, as in the new Make.config.template.
  Any reference to DVBDIR should be removed from all plugins' Makefiles, like this:

- If a timer is newly created from within the "Schedule" menu, and its event is
  already running or has its start time within the next two minutes, it now goes
  directly into the "Edit timer" menu in order to allow the user to make further
  changes to timer parameters before the actual recording starts (inspired by
  Christian Wieninger's "epgsearch" plugin).
- Added format check to syslog_with_tid().
- Updated the INSTALL file's section about non-VDR files in the video directory
  (since version 1.3.38 disk access is done in a separate thread, so the watchdog
  timer won't hit).
- Changed the behaviour of the "Use small font" setup option to *always* use the small
  font if set to '2' - even if it would have been a fixed font (suggested by Ronny
  Kornexl).
- No longer using characters 0x01 and 0x02 for mapping single quote and slash in
  recording names (thanks to Patrick Fischer for reporting that this was a problem
  with XML). The single quote is not mapped at all, and the slash is interchanged
  with the tilde. Existing recordings will be handled like before, so there is
  no need to actually rename them.
- The cRemote::CallPlugin() function now has a boolean return value that tells
  the caller whether initiating the plugin call was successful (suggested by
  Reinhard Nissl). If it returns false, another plugin call is currently pending
  and the caller should try again later. This also means that the SVDRP command
  PLUG can now return an error code is the call fails.
- The new function cPlugin::MainThreadHook() can be used by plugins to perform
  actions in the context of the main program thread. Use this function with great
  care and only of you absolutely have to! See also PLUGINS.html.

396d0ad367 Version 1.3.46
- Fixed handling broken PMT records (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out how
  to detect these).
- Added a missing "Button$" for the Timer button and "Key$" in skinclassic.c
  (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed broken entry 'A111.1W' in sources.conf (reported by Luca Olivetti).
- Replaced the obsolete entry 'S21.5E' in the default 'diseqc.conf' with 'S13.0E'
  (reported by Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed learning keys when VDR is already running (thanks to Jurij Retzlaff).
- Fixed handling the system time transponder setting in the Setup/EPG menu, which
  was broken by the min/max fix in cMenuEditIntItem.
- VPS timers now record only events that have exactly the given start time.
  This fix also implements recording several subsequent events that have the
  same VPS time (like a sports event with intermittent news breaks).
- When checking for timers that have entered the "VPS margin", any free devices are
  now used to switch to the needed transponder. This improves cases where more than
  one VPS timer is about to start.
- Fixed handling the VPS margin in case the event's duration is shorter than the
  margin.
- Fixed handling VPS timers in case the primary device needs to switch to the
  timer's transponder.
- Now avoiding the 'actual' device when starting a recording, so that a Transfer
  Mode for live tv isn't interrupted.
- Fixed a typo in skins.h (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- cSkins::QueueMessage() called from a background thread with an empty message
  now clears all messages that have been previously queued by that thread and have
  not yet beed displayed (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Fixed handling the color button texts when switching from the 'Schedule' menu of
  a channel without EPG info to the 'What's on now' menu (reported by Rolf
  Ahrenberg).
- cMenuEditIntItem and cMenuEditChanItem can now be given strings to label the
  minimum and maximum values, and the case that no channel has been selected,
  respectively.
- The initial channel and volume can now be defined in the "Setup/Miscellaneous"
  menu (based on a patch from Thomas Keil).
- When hitting the end of a recording in fast forward mode, VDR no longer switches
  back to normal speed if the recording is already finished (thanks to Reinhard
  Nissl).
- No longer calling cPlugin::ProcessArgs() if VDR is run with the --help or
  --version option, to avoid error messages from plugins (reported by Udo Richter).
- Now checking whether there is any text before calling cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem()
  (reported by Joachim Wilke).

49b561fcad Version 1.3.45
- Fixed updating the "Info" button in the "Timers" menu.
- Reduced the number of events to actually check when setting events to timers.
- cMenuEditIntItem now checks the given value and forces it to be between the
  given min and max limits.
- The status changes of EPG events are now logged for all channels that have timers.
- Removed the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (thanks to
  Christoph Haubrich for reporting that this is irritating when calling "vdr --help").
- Fixed cReadLine::Read() for lines that end with the infamous "\r\n" (thanks to
  Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed cDvbDevice::SetAudioBypass() in case setTransferModeForDolbyDigital is false
  (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Updated 'sources.conf' (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Fixed the shutdown timeout (thanks to Alexander Wenzel).
- Only calling RemoveEmptyVideoDirectories() once in case a recording has been
  deleted (reported by Hardy Flor).
- Fixed deleting recordings that have been removed externally when running out of
  disk space (reported by Jan Lenz).
- Fixed handling repeating VPS timers (they stopped recording too early).
- Timer log messages now show "VPS" if this is a VPS timer.
- Fixed getting the present EPG event in case none is currently 'running' (it
  then returns the one that just ended).
- Fixed calling a plugin's main menu function while a message is being displayed
  (reported by Helmut Auer).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Made cMenuRecordings::GetRecording() 'protected' (suggested by Marius Heidenstecker).
- Speeded up cRemux::ScanVideoPacket() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Enhanced logging EPG event data.
- Fixed format string handling (thanks to Darren Salt).
- The new function cDevice::ForceTransferMode() can be used to force the primary
  device into transfer mode (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- The 'version' of EPG events is now ignored when reading EPG data from 'epg.data'
  or via SVDRP/PUTE to avoid problems with double EPG events.
- The 'running status' of EPG events is now only set to SI::RunningStatusNotRunning
  for events before the present event.
- Fixed some #include sequences.
- Single shot VPS timers are now only considered 'expired' if their associated
  EPG event has been explicitly set to SI::RunningStatusNotRunning.
- The check for timers to be deleted is now done only every 30 seconds.

99e3c093f4 Version 1.3.35
- Updated 'sources.conf' (thanks to Philip Prindeville).
- Now using daemon() instead of fork() to run VDR in daemon mode (thanks to
  Enrico Scholz).
- Fixed a possible endless loop in a menu with no selectable items if
  Setup.MenuScrollWrap is true (thanks to Enrico Scholz).
- Making sure no item is displayed as "current" if Up, Down, Left or Right is
  pressed in a menu with no selectable items.
- Added '__attribute__' to functions that use printf() like parameters (thanks
  to Darren Salt).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed a leftover 'summary.vdr' in vdr.1 (reported by Christoph Hermanns).
- Added more error messages and line numbers when reading EPG data and info.vdr
  (thanks to Peter Bieringer).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Added missing mutex locks to cCiMenu::Abort() and cCiEnquiry::Abort() (reported
  by Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed lock handling in CAM communication to avoid problems with multiple CAMs
  per device or CAMs with more than one smart card.
- Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Nicolas Huillard).
- Fixed the cFilter example in PLUGINS.html (reported by Patrick Fischer).
- The new class cUnbufferedFile is used for the recording files to avoid
  trashing the file system cache (based on a patch by Ralf Müller).

57bd7eeed1 Version 1.1.14
- Fixed some faulty default parameter initializations (thanks to Robert Schiele).
- Added further satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner
  and Oliver Endriss).
- Updated Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti).
- Fixed a small glitch when switching channels (thanks to Dennis Noordsij for
  reporting this one).
- Fixed handling multiple 'CaCaps' entries in 'setup.conf'.
- Group separators in 'channels.conf' may now be given like ':@201 My Channels',
  where '@201' indicates the number to be given to the next channel. This can be
  used to create 'gaps' in the channel numbering (see 'man 5 vdr'). BE CAREFUL
  TO UPDATE YOUR 'timers.conf' ACCORDINGLY IF INSERTING THIS NEW FEATURE INTO YOUR
  'channels.conf' FILE!
- Timers now internally have a pointer to their channel (this is necessary to
  handle gaps in channel numbers, and in preparation for unique channel ids).
- Fixed slow reaction on SVDRP input (thanks to Guido Fiala for reporting this one).
- Added KI.KA to channels.conf.cable (thanks to Robert Schiele).
- Frequency values for cable and terrestrial channels in 'channels.conf' can
  now be given either in MHz, kHz or Hz. The actual value given will be multiplied
  by 1000 until it is larger than 1000000.
- Fixed skipping unavailable channels when zapping downwards.
- Fixed checking the Ca() status of a cDevice (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed switching audio tracks in 'Transfer Mode' on the primary DVB device
  (thanks to Steffen Barszus and Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one and
  helping to fix it).
- Fixed channel switching in case of an active 'Transfer Mode' on the primary
  device ('Transfer Mode' is now launched with priority '-1').
- Fixed a ternary expression in dvbspu.c.
- Fixed handling 'Transfer Mode' on single device systems when recording an
  encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed blocking replaying in case an encrypted channel is being recorded on
  the primary device.
- Now the name of the remote control is displayed when learning the keys.
- Fixed learning remote control keys in case there is more than one remote
  control (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
- Implemented additional dedicated keys for "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Record",
  "FastFwd", "FastRew", "Channel+" and "Channel-". If your remote control supports
  any of these keys you can delete your 'remote.conf' file and restart VDR to
  go through the key learning procedure again in order to assign these new keys.
  See MANUAL for more information.
  Authors of player plugins should update their ProcessKey() functions so that
  the new player keys have the same functionality as the "Up", "Down", "Left",
  "Right" and "Blue" keys, respectively. Note that the existing functionality
  of these keys should by all means be retained, since VDR (and any plugins)
  shall be fully usable with just the basic set of keys. These new keys are only
  for additional comfort in case the remote control in use supports them.
- Implemented new keys to directly access the VDR main menu functions "Schedule",
  "Channels", "Timers", "Recordings", "Setup" and "Commands". If your remote
  control provides keys you want to assign these functions to, you can delete
  your 'remote.cof' file and restart VDR to  go through the key learning procedure
  again in order to assign these new keys. See MANUAL for more information.
- The new configuration file 'keymacros.conf' can be used to assign macros to
  the color buttons in normal viewing mode, as well as to up to 9 user defined
  keys. See MANUAL and man vdr(5) for more information. The default 'keymacros.conf'
  implements the functionality of the "color button patch".
- Fixed a crash when learning the keys of several remote controls and pressing
  buttons of those that have already been learned (thanks to Oliver Endriss for
  reporting this one).

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).
