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:
- Revoked "Fixed some compiler warnings with Clang 3.4.1" from ci.c, because this
  did not compile with older versions of gcc (thanks to Sören Moch).
- Fixed keeping the current position in the Recordings menu if a recording was
  deleted in a sub folder.
- Fixed handling transfer mode on full featured DVB cards for encrypted channels
  that have no audio pid (reported by Christian Winkler).
- Fixed a possible endless loop in cH264Parser::GetGolombUe(), which caused recordings
  on some HD channels to get stuck and resulted in buffer overflows.
- Fixed handling PAT packets when detecting frames, so that they can be properly
  taken into account when regenerating the index of a recording.
- Fixed adding new source types in case they are already registered (reported by Rolf
  Ahrenberg).
- Removed an unnecessary assignment from cMenuRecordings::~cMenuRecordings().
- The Recordings menu now remembers the last recording the cursor was positioned on,
  independent of the last replayed recording. When a replay ends, however, the cursor
  will initially be positioned to the last replayed recording again when the menu
  is opened.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Antti Hartikainen).
- Fixed drawing the live indicator in the LCARS skin in case there are no devices.
- When checking for obsolete channels, those with an RID that is not 0 are now
  ignored (suggested by Oliver Endriss).
- The SDT is now only parsed *after* the NIT has been read, and it explicitly uses
  the source value derived from the NIT. This should prevent new channels from being
  created with the wrong source.
- Added a log message in case a receiver is detached from its device because the
  assigned CAM can't decrypt the channel.
- Refactored setup parameter handling for output devices:
  + The function cDevice::GetVideoSystem() has been deprecated and will be removed
    in a future version. In order to check whether a particular plugin needs to be
    modified if this function is removed, you can comment out the line
    #define DEPRECATED_VIDEOSYSTEM
    in device.h.
  + Handling the "video (display) format" (things like 16:9, 4:3, pan&scan, letterbox
    etc) shall now be done by the individual output devices, because the types and
    numbers of parameters are too device specific. The Setup/DVB parameters
    "Video format" and "Video display format" are still there for now and can be used
    by SD devices. HD devices, however, shall not use these parameters (any more),
    but rather implement their own setup menu with the necessary parameters for
    controlling output.
  + The dvbhdffdevice plugin has been modified accordingly.
  + Made it clear that cDevice::SetDigitalAudioDevice() merely tells the output device
    that the current audio track is Dolby Digital. This function was only used by the
    original "full featured" DVB cards - do not use it for new developments!
    If an output device has several ways of replaying audio (like HDMI or analog jack)
    it shall implement the proper options in its plugin's SetupMenu() function.
- Added support for "Pilot", "T2-System-Id" and "SISO/MISO" parameters (thanks to
  Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Now initializing the isOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem member of cRecording when
  scanning the video directory, so that it won't cause a delay when opening the menu
  on a system with a large number of recordings.
- Now resetting the isOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem member of a cRecording to -1 after
  renaming it, so that it will be re-checked upon the next call to
  IsOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem().
- Added support for systemd (thanks to Christopher Reimer). To activate this you
  need to add "SDNOTIFY=1" to the 'make' call.

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:
- Now checking whether the primary device actually has a decoder before retuning the
  current channel after a change in its parameters. This fixes broken recordings on
  the primary device on "headless" systems.
- Increased MIN_TS_PACKETS_FOR_FRAME_DETECTOR to 100 and introduced counting the number
  of actual video TS packets in cTsPayload in order to be able to record channels that
  sometimes need even more than 10 TS packets for detecting frame borders (reported by
  Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed sorting recordings by time in the Recordings menu if "Setup/OSD/Recording
  directories" is set to "no".
- Fixed clearing non-editable members in the channel editor (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Further clarified the semantics of cCamSlot::Decrypt().
- Fixed flickering if subtitles are active while the OSD demo is running.
- Fixed numbering frames. Previously they were numbered starting from 1, while it
  is apparently standard to number them from 0. Any existing recordings with editing
  marks (which will now be off by one) can still be cut with all VDR versions from
  1.7.32, because these will automatically adjust editing marks to I-frames.
  Users of stable releases shouldn't notice any problems.
- Fixed a possible crash in the OSD demo (reported by Christopher Reimer).
- Fixed some compiler warnings with Clang 3.4.1 (reported by Paul Menzel).
- Added LinkageTypePremiere to libsi/si.h and eit.c to avoid a compiler warning with
  Clang 3.4.1 (suggested by Tony Houghten).
- Replaced the NULL pointer assignment in ~cReceiver() to force a segfault with
  a call to abort() (suggested by Tony Houghten).
- Fixed learning keyboard remote control codes (thanks to Lars Hanisch).
- Improved PAT/PMT scanning to speed up initial tuning to encrypted channels on
  transponders with many PAT entries (reported by Mariusz Bialonczyk).
- Fixed the replay progress display for very long recordings.
- Fixed detecting broken video data streams when recording.
- Fixed handling frame detection buffer length (reported by Eike Sauer).

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 'sources.conf' (thanks to Antti Hartikainen).
- cFont::CreateFont() now returns a dummy font in case there are no fonts installed.
  This prevents a crash with the LCARS skin on a system that has no fonts.
- Improved locking for CAM slots and made the pure functions of cCiAdapter have
  default implementations, to fix a possible crash with CI adapters and CAM slots
  that are implemented in a plugin.
- Added logging the supported system ids of a CAM.
- Increased MIN_TS_PACKETS_FOR_FRAME_DETECTOR to 10 in order to be able to record
  channels that need more than 5 TS packets for detecting frame borders (reported by
  Eike Sauer).
- Fixed deleting the source recording after moving it to a different volume (reported
  by Christoph Haubrich).
- Now waiting explicitly until all CAM slots are ready before switching to the
  initial channel when VDR is started. This is necessary in case CI adapters are
  used that are not physically connected to a dedicated device. The respective checks
  in cDvbDevice have been removed to avoid redundancy.
- Fixed detecting frame borders in MPEG-2 streams that have "bottom fields" or varying
  GOP structures (reported by Christian Paulick, with help from Helmut Auer).
- Now unassigning CAMs from their devices when they are no longer used.
- Now making sure the primary device goes into transfer mode for live viewing if the
  CAM wants to receive the TS data.
- Fixed a wrong alignment in cCiDateTime::SendDateTime().
- Since the new cRecordingsHandler that was introduced in version 2.1.2 not only
  handles "cutting", but also "moving" and "copying" recordings, the German word
  "Schnitt" has been replaced with the more generic "Bearbeitung", which covers all
  three variations of "editing" a recording (suggested by Christoph Haubrich).
  Maintainers of translations for other languages may want to change their *.po files
  accordingly.
- The new function cStatus::ChannelChange() can be implemented by plugins to be
  informed about changes to the parameters of a channel that may require a retune.
  This may, for instance, be useful for plugins that implement live streaming, so that
  they can react on changes to a channel's PIDs or CA descriptors (problem reported
  by Mariusz Bialonczyk).
- Fixed a superfluous call to the skin's SetRecording() function after renaming a
  recording (reported by Christoph Haubrich).

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.

The main focus of this version is on adding basic support for positioners
to control steerable satellite dishes. Manually controlling the dish position
and storing individual positions will follow later.

The fixes contained in this version will be released in a stable version 2.0.3
later, if there are no problems.

From the HISTORY file:
- Fixed initializing cDevice::keepTracks.
- Fixed an endless loop in cTextWrapper::Set() in case the given Width is smaller than
  one character (reported by Stefan Braun).
- Removed all "modified since version 1.6" markers from PLUGINS.html.
- Added definitions for older DVB API versions, back until 5.0 (based on a patch from
  Udo Richter).
- Changed cThread::SetIOPriority() from "best effort class" to "idle class" in order to
  improve overall performance when an editing process is running (thanks to Jochen
  Dolze).
- Fixed handling '/' and '~' in recording file names in case DirectoryEncoding is
  used (thanks to Lars Hanisch).
- Changed the sign of the satellite position value in cSource to reflect the standard
  of western values being negative. The new member function cSource::Position() can be
  used to retrieve the orbital position of a satellite.
- Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there
  are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (was broken by
  "Fixed selecting the last replayed recording in the Recordings menu in case there
  are folders and plain recordings with names that differ only in non-alphanumeric
  characters" in version 1.7.36).
- Fixed displaying the frame number when setting an editing mark (thanks to Thomas
  Günther).
- Fixed no longer generating any editing marks if the edited recording results in just
  one single sequence (reported by Halim Sahin).
- Fixed an error message when parsing SCR values in diseqc.conf.
- Fixed an unexpected RCS version tag in the newplugin script.
- Fixed an endless loop in the DrawEllipse() functions for very small ellipses (reported
  by Stefan Braun).
- Fixed a crash in the LCARS skin's main menu in case there is no current channel
  (reported by Dominique Dumont).
- Added basic support for positioners to control steerable satellite dishes (based on
  a patch from Seppo Ingalsuo and Ales Jurik).
  + Supports GotoN (aka "DiSEqC 1.2") and GotoX (aka "USALS").
  + The new DiSEqC command code 'P' can be used to instruct a positioner to move the
    dish to the required satellite position. When a 'P' code is processed, further
    execution of the remaining DiSEqC sequence (if any) is postponed until the positioner
    has reached the new satellite position.
  + The new special source value of "S360E" can be used in diseqc.conf to indicate that
    an entry using a positioner can move the dish to any requested position within its
    range. Think of it as "full circle".
  + The devices a particular cDiseqc or cScr applies to are now stored directly in each
    cDiseqc or cScr, respectively.
  + A plugin can implement a custom positioner control (see PLUGINS.html, section "Positioners").
  + The new function cSkinDisplayChannel::SetPositioner() can be implemented by skins to
    show the user a progress display when the dish is being moved. The default implementation
    calls SetMessage() with a string indicating the new position the dish is being moved to.
    The LCARS skin shows a progress bar indicating the movement of the dish.
  + The new parameters "Site latitude", "Site longitude", "Positioner speed", and
    "Positioner swing" in the "Setup/LNB" menu can be used to configure the necessary
    values for a steerable dish.
  + The cDvbTuner now has a new status tsPositioning, in which it waits until a steerable
    dish has reached its target position. Parsing SI data is paused until the target
    position has been reached.
- The LCARS skin now shows the source value of the current channel in its channel display.
- Fixed asserting free disk space in the cutter.
- No longer trying to delete old recordings in AssertFreeDiskSpace() if the given
  Priority is less than 1.
- Fixed handling LIRC events in case repeated events are lost.
- Fixed a possible crash when shutting down VDR while subtitles are being displayed
  (reported by Ville Skyttä).
- cDevice::IsPrimaryDevice() now also checks whether the primary device actually has
  a decoder and returns false otherwise. This should improve device allocation on
  systems that are only used as a receiver and don't actually display anything.
- Increased the value of MAXRETRIES to 20 to reduce the probability of disturbances
  in transfer mode.
- All bonded devices (except for the master) now turn off their LNB power completely
  to avoid problems when receiving vertically polarized transponders (suggested by
  Manfred Völkel and Oliver Endriss).
- Reverted the change from version 1.5.7 that made all logging go to LOG_ERR (thanks
  to Christopher Reimer).
- Added Begin/EndSegmentTransfer() to the EPG handler interface (thanks to Jörg Wendel).
- The code for distributing recordings over several video directories is now
  deprecated and disabled by default.
  You can re-enable this feature by removing the comment sign ('//') from the beginning
  of the line
  //#define DEPRECATED_DISTRIBUTED_VIDEODIR // Code enclosed with this macro is ...
  in the file videodir.c. Note, though, that this can only be a temporary workaround.
  This feature will be completely removed in one of the next developer versions.
  Distributing the video directory over several disks was a useful feature in times
  when disks were still relatively small, but it also caused serious problems in case
  one of the disks failed. Nowadays hard disks come in sizes measured in terabytes,
  and tools like "mhddfs" can be used to combine several disks to form one large volume.
  A recommended method for a relatively safe disk setup in a VDR system is to use two
  1TB (or larger) disks and use them as a RAID-1 (mirrored). That way, if one disk
  fails, you can replace it without data loss.

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

If all goes well, there will be just one more developer version after
this one, and then it's going to be version 2.0.0.

From the HISTORY file:
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Marek Nazarko).
- Modified handling user inactivity in the shutdown handler to avoid a problem in case
  the system time is changed after VDR has been started (thanks to Udo Richter, reported
  by Sören Moch).
- Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Ales Jurik).
- Changed the template for PLGCFG to $(CONFDIR)/plugins.mk (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Richard Lithvall).
- Now clearing device bondings for devices that don't provide DVB-S in the Setup/LNB
  menu (reported by Juergen Lock).
- Fixed a possible deadlock in handling the tuners of bonded devices (thanks to
  Juergen Lock).
- Improved working around the broken driver values for SNR in case of a "TT-budget
  S2-3200" receiving DVB-S2.
- The demos in the "osddemo" plugin can now also be ended with the "Back" key.
- Fixed flashing OSD in "high level OSD" mode of the TT S2-6400 in case a menu is open
  while subtitles are being displayed.
- Fixed stuttering or asynchronous audio after changing the audio track. This is done
  by doing a "jump" to the current position, which clears all buffers. However, this
  only works with TS recordings. With PES recordings it causes a segfault - haven't
  been able to figure out why.
- Added a manual page for 'svdrpsend' (thanks to Tobias Grimm).
- Fixed immediately disappearing subtitle track menu in "high level OSD" mode of the
  TT S2-6400 when selecting "No subtitles".
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Bernard Jaulin).
- Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Carel Willemse).
- Removed all "fuzzy" translations from the files ar.po, hu_HU.po and sr_SR.po, because
  more often than not they are just wrong.
- Now calling DeviceClear() in cTransfer::Receive() if the output device blocks, instead
  of not retrying for 10 seconds (reported by Andreas Mair, with help from Oliver Endriss).
- Updated the Spanish OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti).
- Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley).
- Changed the calls to Skins.QueueMessage() in vdr.c that are related to reporting the
  status of the editing process back to Skins.Message() in order to have them appear
  immediately.
- When sorting recordings by name, folders are now always at the top of the list.
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).

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

If all goes well, there should be no more functional or API changes
before the final version 2.0.0. There will just be a few more fixes.

From the HISTORY file:
- Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Marc Perrudin, Bernard Jaulini and Peter
  Münster).
- Updated the Macedonian OSD texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski).
- Fixed moving editing marks, so that they don't get overwritten with old values
  through an update of the marks file.
- Removed an invalid line from channels.conf.terr (reported by Lars Hanisch).
- Fixed an unexpected k_Repeat key event after a k_Release in lirc.c.
- Fixed permissions of po/sr_SR.po (reported by Dominic Evans).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed using "Pause" and "Slow motion" near the end of a recording (replay stopped
  a few seconds after the end of the recording file has been reached).
- Fixed selecting the last replayed recording in the Recordings menu in case there
  are folders and plain recordings with names that differ only in non-alphanumeric
  characters (reported by Andre Weidemann).
- Fixed the description of the OSD drawing functions DrawEllipse() (the values -5...-8
  for the Quadrants parameter are not implemented).
- Made cOsd::DestroyPixmap() "NULL proof".
- Now deleting any previously allocated pixmaps in cOsd::SetAreas().
- Added demos of the DrawEllipse() and DrawSlope() function to the 'osddemo'
  plugin (press '1' or '2', respectively).
- Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras).
- The timeout for trying to switch to a valid programme is now reset immediately once
  a programme has been found.
- No longer checking for EOPNOTSUPP in cDvbTuner::GetSignalQuality() to avoid breaking
  this function in case the driver suddenly decides to return a different errno value
  if an operation is not supported.
- Moved the definition of TIMERMACRO_TITLE and TIMERMACRO_EPISODE from recording.h to
  config.h and using them to initialize Setup.NameInstantRecord (avoids having the same
  information in two places).
- Fixed the return value of cOsdProvider::StoreImage() in case there is no OSD provider.
- Fixed a crash in cMenuEditChanItem::Set() when entering a channel number that
  doesn't exist (reported by Mikael Hübsch).
- Fixed displaying pending timers in "alert" mode in the LCARS skin.
- Added missing $(LDFLAGS) to the Makefile of the dvbhddevice plugin (thanks to Ville
  Skyttä).
- Fixed some spellings in PLUGINS.html and Doxyfile (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Added '-p' to the cp command in the install-conf target of the Makefile (thanks to
  Ville Skyttä).
- Added missing 'const' to cDevice::HasProgramme() and cDevice::HasLock().
- Fixed determining the priority of the primary device in case it is neither replaying
  nor receiving a live channel (thanks to Matthias Senzel for reporting a problem with
  switching back to live viewing after replay in a setup with device bonding).
- Removed all \return and \param tags from comment lines marked with "///<" for Doxygen.
  There was only a rather small number of these, and I would probably always forget to
  put them in place when writing future comments, so I decided to drop them entirely.
- Added Doxyfile.filter to have special characters escaped that would otherwise be
  dropped by Doxygen (reported by Ville Skyttä).
- Using 'cat' instead of 'cp' to copy the Doxyfile to avoid problems in case Doxyfile
  is write protected.
- Updated the Doxyfile with a newer version of Doxygen.
- Turned off following symlinks in the Doxyfile.
- Removed trailing whitespace.
- Expanded tabs in PLUGINS/src/dvbhddevice/setup.c.
- Some formatting fixes.

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 of VDR no longer sets LC_NUMERIC to "C" in order to make
sure any floating point numbers written to configuration files use a
proper decimal point. It rather explicitly converts such numbers using the
new functions atod() and dtoa().
IF YOU USE PLUGINS THAT STORE FLOATING POINT NUMBERS IN THEIR OWN CONFIGURATION
FILES, YOU SHOULD SET
export LC_NUMERIC=C
BEFORE RUNNING VDR, UNTIL THESE PLUGINS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY UPDATED.

From the HISTORY file:
- In order to be able to play TS recordings from other sources, in which there is
  more than one PMT PID in the PAT, 'int cPatPmtParser::PatPmt(void)' has been changed
  to 'bool cPatPmtParser::IsPatPmt(int Pid)'.
- Fixed learning remote control keys with the LCARS skin.
- Updated the Macedonian OSD texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski).
- Fixed getting only non-video packets in cCuttingThread::GetPendingPackets() (reported
  by Sören Moch).
- Changed all occurrences of MPEG4 to H264 (pointed out by Sören Moch).
- Fixed getting the number of editing sequences in case the last sequence has no actual
  end mark.
- The cutter now only increments the TS continuity counter for packets that have a
  payload (pointed out by Sören Moch).
- Fixed adjusting the DTS values in the cutter, to compensate for dropped B-frames
  (pointed out by Sören Moch).
- Fixed a typo in skins.h (thanks to Lars Hanisch).
- Simplified calculating the PTS offset in cPtsFixer::Fix() and fixed the overflow
  handling of PCR values (thanks to Sören Moch).
- Fixed calling iconv_close() only with a valid iconv_t value (thanks to Juergen Lock).
- Fixed faulty opening of the Recordings menu when pressing the Play key during normal
  live viewing mode in case there is a "last viewed" recording.
- Fixed some #include statements in plugins to use <vdr/...> instead of "vdr/..."
  (thanks to Lars Hanisch).
- Fixed some spellings in osd.h and svdrp.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed handling lowercase polarization characters in channel definitions if no DiSEqC
  is used (reported by Mike Hay, actual bug pointed out by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Synchronizing system time to the transponder time is now done using adjtime() in order
  to avoid discontinuities (suggested by Manuel Reimer). If the time difference is more
  than 10 seconds, stime() is still used to do the initial sync.
- The '7' and '9' keys now jump to the very beginning or end, respectively, of the
  recording, even if there is no mark set at that point (following a request from
  Andre Weidemann).
- Now always setting the TDT EIT filter, because otherwise when turning on using the
  transponder time in the Setup menu, it would only be used after the next restart
  of VDR (thanks to Sundararaj Reel).
- The new functions cDevice::CanScaleVideo() and cDevice::ScaleVideo() can be used by
  derived output devices to implement scaling the video to a given size and location
  (based on a suggestion by Lucian Muresan).
- The SVDRP command HITK now discards any keys if the remote control is currently
  turned off (thanks to Alexander Hans).
- The new remote control key "Play/Pause" can be used with remote controls that don't
  have separate keys for "Play" and "Pause", but rather have a single key for both
  functions (thanks to Stefan Hofmann for suggesting to implement support for such
  remote controls).
- The new option "Setup/Replay/Pause on mark set" can be used to activate automatically
  going into Pause mode if an editing mark is set during replay (suggested by Andre
  Weidemann).
- When regenerating the index of a recording, the frame rate stored in the info file
  is now automatically fixed if it differs from the value detected by the frame
  detector.
- Fixed creating the edited version directory if a relative file name is given in
  the call to 'vdr --edit' (the '/video' part was stripped from the given file name
  even if it wasn't there).
- The new option "Setup/Replay/Progress display time" can be used to activate
  automatically displaying the progress display whenever replay of a recording is
  started (suggested by Stefan Blochberger).
- Changed reading and writing of floating point numbers into configuration files to
  make it independent of the decimal point used in the current locale. All calls to
  atof() have been replaced with the new function atod(), which makes sure the string
  representation of a floating point number using a '.' as decimal point will be
  handled correctly, even if the locale in use expects a ',' as the decimal point.
  Plugins that read floating point numbers from their own configuration files will
  also need to use atod() for this, or use a method of their own (this is not necessary
  if values are stored in VDR's setup.conf file, because VDR takes care of this).
  The reason for these changes is that floating point numbers presented to the user
  shall be displayed in the way defined by the current locale (suggested by Stefan
  Blochberger).
  If you use plugins that store floating point values in configuration files of their
  own and have not yet been adapted to this change, you should set
  export LC_NUMERIC=C
  before running VDR. Otherwise your plugin's configuration data may not be read or
  written correctly.
- The new functions SetItemEvent(), SetItemTimer(), SetItemChannel() and
  SetItemRecording() of the cSkinDisplayMenu class can be reimplemented by skin
  plugins to display these items in a more elaborate way than just a simple line of
  text.

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.

The main focus of this version is on an improved frame detection code,
and improvements to the cutting process. When cutting a recording, VDR
now removes any "dangling" TS packets from the beginning of an editing
sequence and pulls in any "pending" TS packets at the end of a sequence.
It also fixes all timestamps and continuity counters.
However, while the results look much better now in, for instance, Kaffeine,
the TT S2-6400 still shows some video artifacts at the editing points, and
the Mac video player sometimes totally chokes on edited material.
I did spend a lot of time trying to find out what could still be wrong here,
but couldn't come up with any new ideas. So I think it's now time to invite
others to test this new cutting code, read the source code and try to find
out what's still going wrong here. Maybe (hopefully ;-) it's just some stupid
little error... ;-)

From the HISTORY file:
- Pressing the Play key during normal live viewing mode now opens the Recordings menu
  if there is no "last viewed" recording (thanks to Alexander Wenzel).
  The same behavior has been implemented for the Blue key in the main menu.
- cIoThrottle::Engaged() is now also checked in cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread::Action(),
  to suspend removing deleted recordings in case this is necessary to make room for
  new, ongoing recordings (suggested by Udo Richter).
- The cThread constructor now has an additional boolean parameter that can be set to
  true to have this thread run at a lower priority. Plugin authors that use low
  priority threads may want to use this instead of the calls to SetPriority(19) and
  SetIOPriority(7). The priority of a thread ("low" or "high") is now logged when the
  thread starts.
- Changed DTV_DVBT2_PLP_ID to DTV_STREAM_ID in dvbdevice.c to adapt to an incompatible
  change in DVB API 5.8 (reported by Derek Kelly).
  Removed the meanwhile obsolete definition of FE_CAN_TURBO_FEC.
- Fixed some compiler warnings under gcc version 4.7.1.
- Fixed setting the video format in the dvbhdffdevice (thanks to Torsten Lang).
- Fixed 'make install' to not overwrite existing configuration files (thanks to Peter
  Münster).
- Added including the Make.global and Make.config files to the dvbdhffdevice's
  libhdffcmd/Makefile.
- Added options to build a 32-bit version of VDR on a 64-bit machine to
  Make.config.template.
- Fixed handling VPS timers in case the running status of an event goes to '1' (not
  running) and later goes to '4' (running).
- If a frame position in the 'marks' file of a recording doesn't point to an I-frame,
  it will now be shifted towards the next I-frame, either up or down, whichever is
  closer (suggested by Udo Richter).
- Fixed a possible memory leak in SI::StructureLoop::getNextAsPointer() (reported by
  Sundararaj Reel).
- Fixed handling timers in case an event is modified and "phased out" while the timer
  is recording.
- Improved frame detection by parsing just far enough into the MPEG-4 NAL units to get
  the necessary information about frames and slices.
- The initial syncing of the frame detector is now done immediately after the first
  complete GOP has been seen. This makes recordings and especially pausing live video
  start up to twice as fast as before.
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Fixed handling the very last entry in a recording index.
- The return type of cMarks::Add() has been changed to void, since due to the sorting
  of the list of marks the returned pointer might have pointed to a totally different
  mark. Besides, the return value was never actually used.
- Improved editing TS recordings by
  + stripping dangling TS packets from the beginning of a sequence
  + including pending TS packets at the end of a sequence
  + fixing all timestamps and continuity counters
  + generating editing marks for the edited version in such a way that each cutting
    point is marked by an "end" and "begin" mark with the same offset
  + no longer generating an editing mark at the "end" of the edited recording (this
    was actually generated at the beginning of the last GOP, so that a subsequent
    edit would have cut off the last GOP)
  + no longer generating any editing marks if the edited recording results on just
    one single sequence
  + ignoring pairs of editing marks that are placed at exactly the same position of
    a recording when actually cutting the recording
  + not doing anything if the editing marks in place would result in the edited
    version being the same as the original recording
- Editing marks can now be placed directly on top of each other, in which case they
  simply mark a position, but have no effect on the actual cutting process.
- When positioned at an offset where two (or more) editing marks are placed on top
  of each other, the '4' key moves the first one of them to the left, while the '6'
  key moves the last one of them to the right. The '7' and '9' key handle multiple
  marks at the same place as if it were one single mark.
- Modified editing marks are now written to disk whenever the replay progress display
  gets hidden (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).

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.

The default skin "LCARS" displays the signal strengths and qualities of
all devices in its main menu. For devices that have an stb0899 frontend chip
(like the TT-budget S2-3200) retrieving this information from the driver is
rather slow, which results in a sluggish response to user input in the main
menu. To speed this up you may want to apply the patches from

   ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/Driver-Patches

to the LinuxDVB driver source.

The changes since version 1.7.30:

- If regenerating an index file fails and no data is written to the file, VDR now
   reports this error and removes the empty index file.
- The setup parameter "Recording/Instant rec. time (min)" can now be set to '0',
   which means to record only the currently running event (based on a patch from Matti
   Lehtimäki).
- Decreased the ring buffer put/get trigger sizes from 1/3 to 1/10.
- The script given to VDR with the '-r' option is now also called whenever a
   recording is deleted (thanks to Alexander Wenzel).
- Improved detecting frames in MPEG 4 video (reported by Andrey Pridvorov).
- cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() now also recognizes stream type 0x81 as "AC3", so that
   recordings that have been converted from the old PES format to TS can be played
   (suggested by Jens Vogel).
- Fixed a leftover frame counter in the LCARS skin's replay display after jumping to
   an editing mark and resuming replay.
- The new class cIoThrottle is used to allow I/O intense threads to temporarily
   suspend their activities in case buffers run full (suggested by Torsten Lang).
   Currently the cutter thread is suspended if the TS or Recorder buffer use more
   than 50% of their capacity. Plugin authors may want to participate in this
   mechanism if they use intense background I/O.
- Increased the size of the TS buffer to 5MB and that of the Recorder buffer to
   20MB to better handle HD recordings (suggested by Torsten Lang).
- Moved cleaning up the EPG data and writing the epg.data file into a separate
   thread to avoid sluggish response to user input on slow systems (based on a patch from
   Sören Moch).
- Fixed sorting folders before recordings in case of UTF-8 (thanks to Sören Moch).
- Reactivated stripping control characters from EPG texts and adapted it to UTF-8.
- Added missing decrementing of 'len' in libsi/si.c's String::decodeText() functions.
- When checking whether a video directory is empty, file names that start with a
   dot ('.') are no longer automatically ignored and implicitly removed if the directory
   contains no other files. Instead, RemoveEmptyDirectories() now has an additional
   parameter that can be given a list of files that shall be ignored when considering
   whether a directory is empty. This allows users to continue to use files such as
   ".keep" to prevent a directory from being deleted when it is empty. Currently the
   only file name that is ignored is ".sort".

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.

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

From the HISTORY file:
- Removed the '.pl' suffix from svdrpsend.pl (sorry, I missed that one).
- Fixed bonding more than two devices.
- Fixed handling symbolic links in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() (reported by
  Sundararaj Reel).
- Fixed a memory leak in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() in case there are too many
  link levels (reported by Sundararaj Reel).
- Removed redundant memset() in the ctor of cSatCableNumbers (triggered by
  Ville Skyttä pointing out that the argument sequence in the call was wrong).
- Removed a redundant NULL check in cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Added HasSnr to the DEBUG_SIGNALQUALITY output in cDvbTuner::GetSignalQuality()
  (triggered by Ville Skyttä pointing out that the variable HasSnr was unused).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added support for HbbTV to libsi (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- Added support for devices with more than one delivery system per frontend.
  This requires a DVB driver with version 5.5 or higher that can handle the
  DTV_ENUM_DELSYS call. With older drivers it will fall back to one delivery
  system per frontend.
- Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley).
- cDvbTuner::ExecuteDiseqc() now makes sure only one tuner sends SCR commands
  at any given time (reported by Frank Neumann).
- cEvent::FixEpgBugs() now replaces any newline characters in stream component
  descriptions with blanks (thanks to Torsten Lang for reporting a problem with
  EPG data from BSkyB's "MTV MUSIC", S28.2E-2-2010-7012).
- Fixed cDvbSubtitleConverter::SetOsdData() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed cListBase::Move() in case From and To are equal (reported by Sundararaj
  Reel).
- Added support for DVB-T2 to libsi (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added support for handling DVB-T2 transponders.  This requires a DVB driver
  with version 5.3 or higher that can handle the DTV_DVBT2_PLP_ID call (thanks
  to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed cConfig::Load() for g++ version 4.7.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed a possible memory corruption in cTsToPes::GetPes() in case of broken
  TS packets, e.g. when switching channels.
- Fixed the SVDRP command CLRE for a single channel in case there are events
  that have a timer (thanks to Timo Eskola).
- BIDI support now checks at runtime whether the system runs with UTF-8 (suggested
  by Torsten Lang).
- Added member functions Adapter() and Frontend() to cDvbDevice (suggested by
  Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The parameters that are only used by "second generation" delivery systems (DVB-S2
  and DVB-T2) are no longer written into channels.conf for "first generation"
  delivery systems (DVB-S and DVB-T).
- Changed IndexToHMSF() so that it can handle negative Index values.
- Added option -N to the msgmerge call in the Makefile, because fuzzy translation
  mostly resulted in useless strings.
- The new setup option "Replay/Show remaining time" can be used to switch between
  showing the total length or the remaining time of the recording that is currently
  replayed.
- Fixed wrongfully displaying the length of a recording in the title of the replay
  progress display.
- Fixed frozen live view with device bonding in case the bonded master is used for
  live viewing (reported by Uwe Scheffler).

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.

This version contains functions to determine the "signal strength"
and "signal quality" through cDevice. If you are using a DVB card that
contains an stb0899 frontend chip (like the TT-budget S2-3200) you may
want to apply the patches from

   ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/Driver-Patches

to the LinuxDVB driver source in order to receive useful results from
that frontend.

From the HISTORY file:
- Fixed detecting frames for channels that split frames into several payloads
  (reported by Derek Kelly).
- Now initializing Setup.InitialChannel to an empty string to avoid problems in
  case there is no setup.conf.
- The start time of an edited recording is now set to the time of the first
  editing mark (thanks to Udo Richter).
  This obsoletes the CUTTIME patch.
- Direct access to the members start, priority, lifetime, and deleted of cRecording
  as well as to position and comment of cMark is now deprecated. Plugin authors
  should switch to the new access functions for these members. For now the macro
  __RECORDING_H_DEPRECATED_DIRECT_MEMBER_ACCESS is defined in recording.h, which
  exposes these members, so that existing plugins will still compile. Comment out
  this #define to check whether a particular plugin needs to be modified.
  This #define may be removed in a future version.
- The new functions cRecording::NumFrames() and cRecording::LengthInSeconds() return
  the number of frames and length (in seconds) of a recording (suggested by Steffen
  Barszus).
- The subtitle PIDs are now stored in the channels.conf file as an extension to the
  TPID field (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The new function cDevice::ProvidesEIT() is used to determine whether a device can
  provide EIT data and will thus be used in cEITScanner::Process() to receive EIT
  data from the channels it can receive (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). Note that by
  default it is assumed that a device can't provide EIT data, and only the builtin
  cDvbDevice returns true from this function.
- The Audio and Subtitles options are now available through the Green and Yellow
  keys in the Setup/DVB menu (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). This is mainly for remote
  controls that don't have dedicated keys for these functions.
- The SVDRP command HITK now accepts multiple keys (up to 31).
- The Recordings menu now displays the length (in hours:minutes) of each recording
  (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). Note that the "new" indicator has been moved from the
  recording time to the length column. This new format is also used by the SVDRP
  command LSTR, so in case you have an application that parses the LSTR output,
  you will need to adjust it to the new format.
- The dvbsddevice plugin now supports the new option --outputonly, which disables
  receiving on SD FF devices and uses the device only for output (thanks to Udo
  Richter).
- Fixed detecting frames on radio channels (reported by Chris Mayo).
- Revoked the changes to cFrameDetector that have been introduced in version 1.7.19.
  Detecting frames in case the Picture Start Code or Access Unit Delimiter
  extends over TS packet boundaries is now done by locally skipping TS packets
  in cFrameDetector.

From the HISTORY file:
- Added some missing 'const' to tChannelID (reported by Sundararaj Reel).
- The isnumber() function now checks the given pointer for NULL (thanks to Holger
  Dengler).
- Now checking Setup.InitialChannel for NULL before using it (reported by
  Christoph Haubrich).
- cSkins::Message() now blocks calls from background threads (thanks to Michael
  Eiler for reporting a crash in such a scenario).
- Fixed the return value of the svdrpsend.pl script in case of an error (thanks to
  Jonas Diemer).
- Increased MAXCAIDS to 12 (thanks to Jerome Lacarriere).
- Fixed handling DiSEqC codes (thanks to Mark Hawes for reporting the bug, and
  Udo Richter for suggesting the fix).
- Added a mechanism to defer timer handling in case of problems (reported by
  Frank Niederwipper).
- Fixed distortions that happened when splitting recording into several files
  (was a side effect of "Fixed detecting frames in case the Picture Start Code or
  Access Unit Delimiter extends over TS packet boundaries" in version 1.7.19).
  cRecorder::Action() now buffers TS packets in case the frame type is
  not yet known when a new payload starts. This adds no overhead for channels
  that broadcast the frame type within the first TS packet of a payload; it only
  kicks in if that information is not in the first TS packet.
- Fixed handling the channelID in cMenuEditChanItem (thanks to Udo Richter).
- cStringList::Sort() can now be called with a boolean parameter that controls
  case insensitive sorting (suggested by Sundararaj Reel).
- Now scanning new transponders before old ones, to make sure transponder changes
  are recognized (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Implemented static cIndexFile::IndexFileName().
- The length (as number of frames) of a recording's index file can now be determined
  by a call to cIndexFile::GetLength() (suggested by Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed some crashes in subtitle display (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Made DELETENULL() thread safe (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The pic2mpg script of the 'pictures' plugin now generates HD images (thanks to
  Andre Weidemann for his support in using convert/ffmpeg). The old SD version is
  still available as pic2mpg-sd.
- Added a mutex to protect cOsd::Osds from simultaneous access from different threads
  (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The cutter now sets the 'broken link' flag for MPEG2 TS recordings (thanks to
  Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed language code entry for Portuguese.
- The new command line options --filesize (suggested by Marco Göbenich) and --split
  can be used together with --edit to set the maximum video file size and turn on
  splitting edited files at the editing marks. These options must be given before
  --edit to have an effect.
- cTimeMs is no longer initialized to the current time if the value given to the
  constructor is negative (avoids the "cTimeMs: using monotonic clock..." log message
  before VDR's starting log message).

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.

This version introduces functions to determine the "signal strength"
and "signal quality" through cDevice. If you are using a DVB card that
contains an stb0899 frontend chip (like the TT-budget S2-3200) you may
want to apply the patches from

   ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/Driver-Patches

to the LinuxDVB driver source in order to receive useful results from
that frontend.
Since apparently the various frontend drivers return different maximum
values in their FE_READ_SIGNAL_STRENGTH and FE_READ_SNR functions (some
deliver a value in the range 0x0000...0xFFFF, while others return values
as "dB/10" or "dBm/10" (the latter with an offset to make the value positive,
since the parameter is unsigned), the functions cDvbTuner::GetSignalStrength()
and cDvbTuner::GetSignalQuality() use the device's "subsystem ID" to
map these values into the range 0...100, which is the normalized return
value of these functions.
Take a look at these two functions and maybe remove the comment characters
from the lines
//#define DEBUG_SIGNALSTRENGTH
//#define DEBUG_SIGNALQUALITY
in dvbdevice.c to get some debug output if your device doesn't return any
directly useful values and may have to be added appropriately to the
'switch (subsystemId)' statement.
The channel display of the 'sttng' skin uses these values to implement
a signal strength/quality display.

From the HISTORY file:
- Fixed cString's operator=(const char *String) in case the given string is the
  same as the existing one (thanks to Dirk Leber).
- Avoiding a gcc 4.6 compiler error in the skincurses plugin (thanks to Tobias Grimm).
- TsGetPayload() now checks if there actually is a payload in the given TS packet
  (reported by Dirk Leber).
- Now sorting the source file names in the call to xgettext, to make sure the results
  are not dependent on the sequence of the files.
  Plugin authors may want to change the line containing the xgettext call in their
  Makefile accordingly by changing "$^" to "`ls $^`".
- The primary device is now only avoided for recording if it is an old SD full
  featured card. This is done through the new function cDevice::AvoidRecording().
- Subtitle PIDs are now also decrypted (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed a possible race condition in cDiseqc::Execute() (reported by Marco Göbenich).
  The return value of cDiseqcs::Get() is now const, so plugin authors may need to
  adjust their code if they use this function.
- The new functions cDevice::SignalStrength() and cDevice::SignalQuality() can be
  used to determine the signal strength and quality of a given device (thanks to
  Rolf Ahrenberg for some input on how to use BER and UNC values to generate a
  "quality" value).
- The 'sttng' skin now displays two colored bars at the bottom of the channel display,
  indicating the strength (upper bar) and quality (lower bar) of the received signal.
  The number to the left of these bars indicates the actual device the current
  channel is being received with.
- Fixed detecting frames in case the Picture Start Code or Access Unit Delimiter
  extends over TS packet boundaries (reported by Johan Andersson).
  In order to fix this, the semantics of cFrameDetector had to be changed a little.
  See cRecorder::Action() and cIndexFileGenerator::Action() on how to use the new
  cFrameDetector::NewPayload() function.
- The frame detector now only starts collecting PTS values after it has seen the
  first I-frame, otherwise it might get MaxPtsValues values and stop analyzing
  even though the incoming data is still garbage (reported by Derek Kelly).
- The info file of a recording is now only overwritten with a new fps value if
  that new value is not the default value (thanks to Derek Kelly for reporting a
  problem with the fps value being overwritten in case a recording was interrupted
  and resumed, and the fps value could not be determined after resuming recording).
- The initial channel is now stored by the channel ID in the setup.conf file, in
  order to avoid problems in case channels are reordered or deleted (reported by
  Lars Bläser).
- Added support for "content identifier descriptor" and "default authority descriptor"
  to 'libsi' (thanks to Dave Pickles).

8b9350c091 Version 1.7.18
- Changed -O2 to -O3 in Make.config.template (reported by Matti Lehtimäki).
- Added a missing 'default' case in cPixmapMemory::DrawEllipse().
- Fixed some direct comparisons of double values.
- Fixed detecting frames on channels that broadcast with separate "fields" instead
  of complete frames.
- Made updating the editing marks during replay react faster in case the marks
  file has just been written (with a patch from Udo Richter).
- Fixed horizontal scaling of subtitles (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- Stripped the note "The data returned by this function is only used for informational
  purposes (if any)" from the description of cDevice::GetVideoSize(). The VideoAspect
  is now used to properly scale subtitles.
- Fixed cUnbufferedFile::Seek() in case it is compiled without USE_FADVISE (thanks
  to Juergen Lock).
- Fixed the Language header of the Serbian translation file (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Added anti-aliasing when upscaling bitmaps, which improves the display of SD subtitles
  when replayed on an HD OSD (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for his help in debugging).
- Renamed cBitmap::Scale() to Scaled(), because it doesn't modify the bitmap itself,
  but rather returns a scaled copy.
- Fixed the description of cReceiver in PLUGINS.html, regarding detaching a receiver
  from its device before deleting it (reported by Winfried Köhler). This change in
  behavior was introduced in version 1.5.7.
- Fixed scaling subtitles in case the OSD size is exactly the same as the display
  size of the subtitles.
- Added a missing initialization to sDvbSpuRect (reported by Sergiu Dotenco).
- Replaced "%lld" and "%llX" print format specifiers with "PRId64" and "PRIX64" to
  avoid compiler warnings with gcc 4.5.2 (thanks to Sergiu Dotenco).
  On a personal note: I find it a step in the totally wrong direction that there
  have been macros introduced to work around this problem in the first place. There
  should have been "real" format specifiers defined that address this. These macros
  are nothing but an ugly workaround.
- Added Cancel(3) to ~cTrueColorDemo() in the "osddemo" plugin (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added a missing font deletion in cTrueColorDemo::Action() in the "osddemo" plugin
  (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed a buffer overflow in cFont::Bidi() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added HD stream content identifiers to vdr.5 (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- Made cRecordingInfo::Read(FILE *f) private to avoid calls to it from outside
  cRecordingInfo or cRecording (reported by Mika Laitio).
- The dvbhddevice plugin is now part of the VDR distribution archive (thanks to
  Andreas Regel).
- Removed an obsolete local variable in dvbsdffosd.c (thanks to Paul Menzel).
- Fixed a possible NULL pointer dereference in osddemo.c (reported by Paul Menzel).
- Now using pkg-config to get fribidi, freetype and fontconfig cflags and libs (thanks
  to Ville Skyttä).
- The Makefile now also installs the include files (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Added handling of "ANSI/SCTE 57" descriptors (thanks too Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Avoiding an unecessary call to Recordings.ResetResume() (thanks to Reinhard
  Nissl).

5619c0602b Version 1.7.17
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed following symbolic links in RemoveFileOrDir() (cont'd) (thanks to
  Steffen Barszus).
- Changed the description of cDevice::GetSTC() to make it mandatory for devices
  that can replay.
- Removed the check for positive STC values from cDvbSubtitleConverter::Action().
- Added cString::operator=(const char *String) (suggested by Antti Seppälä).
- Some spelling fixes (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Passing package name and version to xgettext (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Made 'dist' target dependent on up to date *.po (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Added Language and fixed Language-Team header of *.po (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras).
- Fixed detecting frames on channels that broadcast with 50 or 60 fps.
  This avoids artifacts during fast forward/rewind when replaying recordings from such
  channels. To fix the index of existing recordings from such channels, just delete the
  'index' file of the recording and VDR will generate a new one the next time you play it.
  You should also change the line "F 25" to "F 50" in the 'info' file of that recording.
- Added support for "registration descriptor" to 'libsi' and using it in pat.c (thanks
  to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed unjustified log entries about changed channel pids (reported by Derek Kelly).
- Added an include of VDR's 'Make.global' to libsi's Makefile (thanks to Rolf
  Ahrenberg).
- Removed displaying the "contents" information from the "Classic VDR" and
  "ST:TNG Panels" skins, because it is often wrong and nothing but irritating.
- Added typecasts to avoid gcc 4.5 warnings in switch statements on eKeys
  variables where additional 'k_...' flags are used.
- Fixed inclusion of <stdarg.h> (thanks to Henning Heinold).
- Changed "frame duration" to "frame rate" in vdr.5 (reported by Tobias Grimm).
- Removing a cRemote from the Remotes list in case its initialization failed (thanks
  to Dominik Strasser).
- Added LDFLAGS to the linker calls in the Makefiles (thanks to Joerg Bornkessel and
  Paul Menzel).
- Now updating the 'frames per second' data in the list of recordings when a new
  recording is started that has a frame rate other than the default.
- The include path to the freetype2 header files is now retrieved via a call to
  'pkg-config --cflags freetype2' (suggested by Andreas Oberritter).
- The OSD now has full TrueColor support. There can be several "pixmaps" that can
  be overlayed with alpha blending. All existing skins should work out of the box
  with the TrueColor OSD - the only exception being cOsd::GetBitmap(). Since the
  TrueColor OSD doesn't use bitmaps, this function will return a dummy bitmap, which
  may not be what the plugin expects. As long as this bitmap is only used for setting
  the palette, there is no problem. However, any other operations on this bitmap will
  have no effect. See the description of the cPixmap functions in osd.h for details
  about the new functionalities.
  The "ST:TNG Panels" skin has been enhanced to automatically use the TrueColor OSD
  if available.
  The "osddemo" plugin has been extended to show some of the possibilities of the
  TrueColor OSD if it is run on a system that actually provides TrueColor support.
  Thanks to Reinhard Nissl for some valuable input, help with debugging, and an
  implementation of the AlphaBlend() function.
- Updated the Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala).
- Added Serbian language texts (thanks to Milan Cvijanovic).
- Fixed reallocating memory in the "pictures" plugin (reported by Paul Menzel, with
  input from Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed reallocating memory in cTsToPes::PutTs() (suggested by Oliver Endriss).
- Now checking the result of all realloc() calls.
- Fixed setting up the 'Recordings' menu in case there are several recordings
  with exactly the same name (reported by Marcus Hilbrich).
- Setting the audio type of language descriptors to 0x00 in the PAT/PMT generator
  (thanks to Anssi Hannula).
- Changed the compiler optimization flag to -O3, which gives quite a performance
  boost in the AlphaBlend() function.
- While replaying, the editing marks are now updated every 10 seconds (based on a
  patch from Manuel Reimer).
- Now reducing the thread and I/O priority cCuttingThread::Action() to make the
  foreground process more responsive (suggested by Frank Neumann).
- Removed checking for minimum line length of 21 characters in the LIRC receiver code
  (reported by Gerald Dachs).
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Now storing the original display size when handling DVB subtitles (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- The original display size of subtitles is now used to scale them properly when
  displaying them on an HD OSD.

Klaus Schmidinger
c2c45d68c6 Version 1.7.15
- Added Macedonian language texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added handling of EnhancedAC3DescriptorTag (thanks to Eric Valette).
- The default SVDRP port is now 6419 (registered with ICANN/IANA by Christian Tramnitz).
  Use '-p 2001' to switch back to the old port if necessary.
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- cDvbDevice::ProvidesTransponder() now checks the modulation capabilities of the
  device (as far as the driver allows this).
- Fixed cFrameDetector::Analyze() in case part of the data has been processed and
  there is less than MIN_TS_PACKETS_FOR_FRAME_DETECTOR left (reported by Derek Kelly).
- Added a note about not deleting cDeviceHook objects to device.h.
- Added user defined key kUser0 (suggested by Ulf Kiener).
- Include paths are now added instead of overwriting INCLUDES in the Makefile (thanks
  to Paul Menzel).
- The various modulation types are now taken into account when selecting a device for
  a recording or live viewing, so that devices that provide more capabilities are
  spared.
- Fixed generating PMT language descriptors for multi language PIDs (thanks to Rolf
  Ahrenberg).
- Transponders that use "8psk turbo fec" (a non-standard mode used by North American
  providers) are now identified by assuming that all 8psk transponders on DVB-S use
  "turbo fec". In order to determine whether a certain device can handle "turbo fec",
  the new driver flag FE_CAN_TURBO_FEC is checked. If your device can handle "turbo
  fec", and your driver doesn't have that flag, yet, you can apply the patch from
  ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/v4l-dvb-add-FE_CAN_TURBO_FEC.diff. A temporary
  macro in dvbdevice.c defines the flag for all those who don't need this in the
  driver, so that they can continue using an unmodified driver.
  Thanks to Derek Kelly for testing this.
- Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk).
- Fixed handling "none" color entries in XPM files (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Fixed a crash when creating a new channel if the channel list is empty (reported
  by Halim Sahin).
- Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Radek Stastny).
- Fixed a possible out of buffer memory access in case of bad TS data (reported
  by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Implemented handling of HD resolution subtitles according to v1.3.1 of
  ETSI EN 300 743, chapter 7.2.1 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The EPG data now handles stream components 5 (H.264-video) and 6 (HEAAC-audio).
- Fixed a problem with external Dolby Digital processing via the '-a' option in live
  mode and with TS recordings (reported by Christopher Reimer).
- Added handling MPEG audio types "ISO/IEC 14496-3 Audio with LATM transport syntax"
  and "ISO/IEC 13818-7 Audio with ADTS transport syntax" (suggested by Luis Fernandes).
  See man vdr(5) on how the APID section of channels has been extended to store
  this information.
- Added detecting channels that use service type 0x16.
- Added full handling of the stream types of Dolby Digital pids
  (thanks to Jose Alberto Reguero).
- The new setup option "OSD/Number keys for characters" can be used to control whether
  the number keys can be used to enter characters in a text input field (suggested
  by Stefan Huskamp).

Klaus Schmidinger
5ce592e54a Version 1.7.13
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Changed the position of Sirius 4 to S4.8E in sources.conf (thanks to Alexander Gross).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Moved the declaration of cMenuCommands to menu.h, so that plugins can use it.
- Added a note to the MANUAL, saying that adding new transponders only works if the
  "EPG scan" is active (suggested by Halim Sahim).
- Improved handling frames at the beginning and end of a recording in cDvbPlayer for
  devices with large buffers (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Implemented cDeviceHook to allow plugins more control over which device can
  provide which transponder (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Implemented cDevice::GetCurrentlyTunedTransponder() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Moved strictly necessary Makefile options into Make.global, which is included
  by all plugins (thanks to Paul Menzel). The Makefiles of existing plugins should be
  modified like this:

- Added device definitions to the diseqc.conf file format, so that certain satellite
  positions can be limited to a given list of devices.
  This obsoletes the SOURCECAPS patch.
- Keeping subtitles visible when pausing replay (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed adding new transponders in case there is only a single channel in the
  channel list (reported by Halim Sahin).
- The file name in the "Timers" menu now shows only the base name of the recording
  without the folder path (if any). Otherwise with long folder paths the actual
  recording name was not visible at all.
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Exported some libsi functions (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Improved scalability of the default skins.
- Fixed the German translation of "Folder name must not contain '%c'!" (thanks to
  Frank Schmirler).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Plugins can now define new sources. In order to implement this, the following
  changes were made:
  + The transponder parameter string is no longer interpreted by cChannel, but rather
    stored as is and used only by the respective device. That way plugins can use a
    channel's parameter string to store arbitrary data (see vdr.5).
  + The new class cSourceParam can be used by plugins to define new sources, and to
    implement OSD items that will be used in the channel editor for editing the source
    specific parameters of a channel (see dvbdevice.c for an example of how this is
    done for the default DVB devices).
  + Purely numerical values are no longer accepted in the 'source' parameter of a
    channel.
  This obsoletes the PLUGINPARAM patch.
- Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras).
- cSafeFile::Close() now flushes the file (suggested by Stephan Austermühle).
- The option "Setup/DVB/Use Dolby Digital" now only controls whether Dolby Digital
  tracks appear in the "Audio" menu. Dolby Digital is always recorded.
  This obsoletes the DOLBYINREC patch.

Klaus Schmidinger
09a17d56e2 Version 1.7.12
- Changed the EVCONTENTMASK_* macros to enums and changed "mask" to "group".
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- The "Edit timer" menu can now set the folder for the recording from a list of
  folders stored in "folders.conf".
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- If svdrphosts.conf contains only the address of the local host, the SVDRP port
  is opened only for the local host (thanks to Manuel Reimer).
- Renamed 'runvdr' to 'runvdr.template' and no longer copying it to the BINDIR
  in 'make install' (thanks to Martin Dauskardt).
- Added plain text error messages to log entries from cOsd::SetAreas() (suggested
  by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- cPalette::ClosestColor() now treats fully transparent colors as "equal"; improved
  cDvbSpuBitmap::getMinBpp() (thanks to Matthieu Castet and Johann Friedrichs).
- The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Channels wrap" controls whether the current
  channel wraps around the beginning or end of the channel list when zapping (thanks
  to Matti Lehtimäki).
- Fixed determining the frame duration on channels where the PTS deltas jitter by
  +/-1 around 1800.
- The PCR pid in generated PMTs is now set to the channel's PCR pid again.
- Fixed determining the frame duration on channels where the PTS deltas jitter by
  +/-1 around 3600.
- The PCR pid is now recorded for channels where this is different from the video
  PID. To facilitate this, the interfaces of cTransfer, cTransferControl, cRecorder
  and cReceiver have been modified, so that the PIDs are no longer given in separate
  parameters, but rather the whole channel is handed down for processing. The old
  constructor of cReceiver is still available, but it is recommended to plugin authors
  that they switch to the new interface as soon as possible.
  When replaying such a recording, the PCR packets are sent to PlayTsVideo()
- The files "commands.conf" and "reccmd.conf" can now contain nested lists of
  commands. See vdr.5 for information about the new file format.

Klaus Schmidinger
939081e274 Version 1.7.11
- Fixed resetting the file size when regenerating the index file.
- The new function cDevice::PatPmtParser() can be used in derived devices to access
  the PAT/PMT of the currently replayed material.
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- The PCR pid in generated PMTs is now set to 0x1FFF ("no PCR pid") in
  cPatPmtGenerator::GeneratePmt(), because VDR doesn't record the PCR pid.
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- The 'sky' plugin is no longer part of the VDR source.
- Improved SPU handling on devices with limited OSD capabilities (thanks to
  Matthieu Castet).
- Several code modifications to avoid compiler warnings (thanks to Winfried Köhler).
- Added stream type 11172 AUDIO to cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to Johann
  Friedrichs).
- Removed debug output of '-' from cTransfer::Receive().
- Added defines for large files to the 'newplugin' script (reported by Udo Richter).
- Removed the workaround for short channel names of "Kabel Deutschland", because
  apparently they now have their data according to the DVB standard (thanks to
  Johann Friedrichs).
- Some fixes to dvbspu.[hc] (thanks to Johann Friedrichs).
- Fixed a busy loop when moving editing marks (thanks to Johann Friedrichs).
- Updated sources.conf (thanks to Derek Kelly).
- Modified cCharSetConv so that it can be used to convert from "whatever VDR uses"
  to a given code (thanks to Joachim Wilke).
- Channel names containing commas are now handled correctly in channels.conf.
  If a channel's short name contains a comma, it is replaced with a '.'.
- cDevice now logs the device number when a new device is created.
- Fixed handling STREAMTYPE_11172_AUDIO in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt().
- cParsePatPmt now has functions to retrieve the audio, dolby and subtitle pids.
- cPatFilter::Process() now only stores CA descriptors for video and audio pids
  (thanks to Francesco Saverio Schiavarelli for reporting a problem with channels
  that have some encrypted components that VDR doesn't use).
- cDevice::AddPid() now stores the stream type of the given pid (thanks to Andreas
  Regel).
- Added cFont::FontName() and cFont::Size() (thanks to Andreas Regel).
- cPatPmtParser now also stores the audio stream types.
- The support for full featured DVB cards of the TT/FuSi design has been moved
  into the new plugin 'dvbsddevice'. On systems that use such a card as their
  primary device, this plugin now needs to be loaded when running VDR in order
  to view live or recorded video. If the plugin is not loaded, the card will
  be treated like a budget DVB card, and there will be no OSD or viewing
  capability.
- Fixed handling the "CA PMT" generation (revised a change not mentioned in version
  1.7.9's changes, which caused a malfunction with Conax and Viaccess CAMs).
- Fixed stopping subtitle display when switching the primary device (thanks to
  Anssi Hannula).
  IMPORTANT NOTE TO PLUGIN AUTHORS: a plugin that implements a derived cDevice
  class that can replay video must now call the MakePrimaryDevice() function of
  its base class.
- Fixed compiler warnings "format not a string literal and no format arguments"
  in some syslog calls (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The new command line options --edit and --genindex can be used to edit a
  recording or generate its index without actually starting the entire VDR
  (based on a patch from Helmut Auer).
- Improved the description of the transponder parameters in vdr.5 (thanks to
  Winfried Köhler).
- Avoiding setting the video stream type to 2 if the vpid is 0 (problem reported
  by Arthur Konovalov).
- Implemented handling the "Content Descriptor" (based on a patch from Rolf
  Ahrenberg). The 'classic', 'sttng' and 'curses' skins display the textual
  representation of the content descriptors as "genre". The epg.data file stores
  the genre using the tag character 'G'.
- Implemented handling the "Parental Rating Descriptor" (based on a patch from Rolf
  Ahrenberg). The 'classic', 'sttng' and 'curses' skins display the parental
  rating (if given) in their event displays. The epg.data file stores
  the parental rating using the tag character 'R'.
  IMPORTANT NOTE: if VDR doesn't display a parental rating, this does not
  necessarily mean that the given programme is suitable for all audiences!
- Rearranged cEvent members to minimize memory waste.
- After a CLRE command, no further EPG processing is now done for 10 seconds,
  so that data sent with subsequent PUTE commands doesn't interfere with data
  from the broadcasters (suggested by Helmut Auer).
- Added support for DVB cards with multiple fontends. Note that this only
  works for DVB cards where each frontend can be used independently of all
  the others on the same adapter.
- Fixed plugin arguments corruption with glibc 2.11 on x86_64 (thanks to
  Anssi Hannula).

Klaus Schmidinger
ea01358b3b Version 1.7.10
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed wrong bracketing in cChannel::SubtitlingType() etc.
  (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed not logging changes for channels that have no number
  (reported by Timothy D. Lenz).
- Changed the project's URLs and email to tvdr.de.
- Added Lithuanian language translations (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras).
- Updated Chinese language texts (thanks to Nan Feng).
- Only checking DVB_API_VERSION to be >=5 in order to stay compileable in case
  the DVB API version number is increased (the API claims to always be backward
  compatible).
- Fixed saving terminal settings when running in background (thanks to Manuel
  Reimer).
- Fixed cFrameDetector::Analyze() to handle video streams where the frame type
  is not detectable from the first TS packet of a frame.
- Fixed writing the PCR pid into the PMT in cPatPmtGenerator::GeneratePmt()
  (reported by Rene van den Braken).
- Added Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala).
- Fixed EntriesOnSameFileSystem() to avoid using f_fsid, which may be 0 (thanks
  to Frank Schmirler).
- Fixed starting a recording at an I-frame.
- Fixed generating the index for recordings from channels that put a whole
  GOP into one payload unit.
- The index file for TS recordings is now regenerated on-the-fly if a
  recording is replayed that has no index. This can also be used to
  re-create a broken index file by manually deleting the index file and then
  replaying the recording (at least until the index file has been generated).
- The cRingBufferLinear::Read() function now returns -1 and sets errno to
  EAGAIN if the buffer is already full.
- Fixed handling DVB subtitles for PES recordings (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added the audio id to the call of PlayAudio() in cDevice::PlayTsAudio()
  (thanks to Andreas Schaefers).
- Fixed references to old *.vdr file names in MANUAL (reported by Arthur Konovalov).
- Reverted "Removed limitation to PAL resolution from SPU handling" because it
  cause nothing but trouble. Besides, the core VDR doesn't use this, anyway.
- Fixed the default value for "Pause key handling" in the MANUAL (reported by
  Diego Pierotto).

06bf4c453e Version 1.7.9
- Fixed storing the current OSD size in case the device has
  changed it in its setup menu (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed cDevice::PlayTsVideo() and cDevice::PlayTsAudio() in case only part of the
  buffer has been accepted by the device (reported by Udo Richter).
- Changed the EIT filter setup to save a few handles on devices that do hardware
  filtering.
- Fixed deleting expired timers if they have the VPS flag set, but the event they
  are assigned to doesn't have a VPS tag.
- Fixed handling file name length on VFAT systems in case they
  contain UTF-8 characters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed generating CaPmts in case audio and video are encrypted using different
  ECM pids.
- Updated vdr.1 to use the new file names in recording directories.
- Fixed cRecordings::DelByName() to avoid compilation errors with gcc 4.4
  (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott).
- Increased the value of MAXFRAMESIZE to better suit HD recordings (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Implemented full handling of subtitling descriptors (thanks to Mikko Tuumanen).

Klaus Schmidinger
ab6f2ccf42 Version 1.7.8
- The name of the function cDevice::GetVideoSize() wasn't very well chosen
  for its purpose of defining the optimum size of the OSD for the current
  output device. Therefore a new function named cDevice::GetOsdSize() has
  been introduced (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). Plugin authors should
  implement this function in classes derived from cDevice, if they are able
  to replay video. cDevice::GetVideoSize() still exists and should return the
  actual size of the video material that is currently replayed. Note that
  because of the many possible aspect ratios for video material, the type
  of the Aspect parameter of GetVideoSize() has been changed to 'double',
  and the Aspect parameter in both functions is named differently, because
  it returns different values (suggested by Reinhard Nissl).
  Thanks to Oliver Endriss for his input on calculating the Aspect factor in
  GetOsdSize().
- Fixed the way the OSD size is determined on full featured DVB cards (thanks
  to Oliver Endriss).
- Increased MAXOSDHEIGHT to 1200 (suggested by Nicolas Huillard).
- Removed limitation to PAL resolution from SPU handling.
- Checking fd_video in cDvbDevice::GetVideoSize() to avoid error messages on
  systems with no real primary replay device (reported by Martin Neuditschko).
- Added a note to cTsToPes::GetPes() about having to call it repeatedly, once
  it has returned a non-NULL value.
- Added MPEG 1 handling to remux.c (thanks to Ales Jurik).
- Fixed use of time_t in cEIT::cEIT() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).
- Added missing update of lastOsdSizeUpdate.
- EIT events are now only processed if a plausible system time is available, to
  avoid wrong handling of PDC descriptors (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).
- Removed unused 'synced' member from cTsToPes (reported by Christoph Haubrich).
- Added a note to cTsToPes about all TS packets having to belong to the same PID,
  and that for video data GetPes() may only be called if the next TS packet that
  will be given to PutTs() has the "payload start" flag set (suggested by Christoph
  Haubrich).
- Added a note about the meaning of PERCENTAGEDELTA in cRingBuffer::UpdatePercentage()
  (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The new setup option "Recording/Pause key handling" can be used to define
  what happens if the Pause key on the remote control is pressed during
  live tv (thanks to Timo Eskola).
- Added a note about cFont::GetFont() not being thread-safe.
- Fixed generating PAT/PMT version numbers in case the PIDs change during
  recording (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk).
- Fixed a memory leak when reaching the end of a recording during replay (reported
  by Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed calling close(-1) in cUnbufferedFile::Close() (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- Added a workaround for the broken linux-dvb driver header files (based on a patch
  from Tobias Grimm).
- Fixed handling the length of DiSEqC command sequences (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed cOsdMenu::Display() in case the menu size has changed (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Added some missing 'const' keywords to avoid compilation errors with gcc 4.4
  (thanks to Ville Skyttä and Ludwig Nussel).
- Modified cSVDRP::CmdGRAB() to avoid writing into const data (reported by
  Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed calculating menu colum widths in case the font has a size other than the
  default size (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- Added a plausibility check for the OSD percentage parameters
  to avoid problems in case the values are stored in the setup.conf
  file in a  wrong way.
- Fixed variable types in cIndexFile (reported by Udo Richter).
2009-06-14 13:49:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger
991eda0067 Version 1.7.7
- The new function cDevice::GetVideoSize() returns the size and aspect ratio
  of the video material currently displayed. This function is used to determine
  the proper size of the OSD. Plugin authors should implement this function in
  classes derived from cDevice, if they are able to replay video.
- The OSD and font sizes are now defined in percent of the actual video display
  size. The maximum OSD size has been raised to 1920x1080, to allow full
  screen OSD on HD systems.
- The OSD size is now automatically adjusted to the actual video display
  (provided the output device implements the GetVideoSize() function).
- cFrameDetector::Analyze() now syncs on the TS packet sync bytes (thanks to
  Oliver Endriss for reporting broken index generation after a buffer overflow).
2009-05-03 17:15:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger
733a2becc4 Version 1.7.6
- cDevice::PlayTs() now syncs on the TS packet sync bytes.
- Made MAXFRAMESIZE a multiple of TS_SIZE to avoid breaking up TS packets.
- No longer resetting the patPmtParser in cDevice::PlayTs(), because this
  caused the selected audio and subtitle tracks to fall back to the default.
- The SVDRP command PUTE now supports reading the EPG data from a given file
  (thanks to Helmut Auer).
- Added cThread::SetIOPriority() and using it in cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread
  (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed the MEGABYTE() macro to make it correctly handle parameters resulting in
  values larger than 2GB.
- Added cDevice::NumProvidedSystems() to PLUGINS.html (was missing since it had
  been implemented).
- Fixed distortions when switching to the next file during replay.
- Fixed detecting the frame rate for streams with PTS distances of 1800, which
  apparently split one frame over two payload units.
- Added missing 'const' to cRecording::FramesPerSecond() (thanks to Joachim Wilke).
- Any TS packets in the first "frame" after a cut in an edited recording that don't
  belong to a payload unit that started in that frame now get their TEI flag set,
  so that a decoder will ignore them together with any PES data collected for that
  PID so far (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting chirping sound disturbences at
  editing points in TS recordings).
- cDvbPlayer::Empty() subtracts 1 from readIndex, because Action() will first
  increment it.
- Only storing non-zero Pts values in ptsIndex.
- Added a note to the INSTALL file about using subdirectories to split a large
  disk into separate areas for VDR's video data and other stuff (suggested by
  Udo Richter).

Klaus Schmidinger
1aadb31fb3 Version 1.7.5
- Fixed a hangup when replaying a TS recording with subtitles activated (reported
  by Timo Helkio).
- Fixed handling the 'new' indicator in the recordings menu for TS recordings
  (thanks to Derek Kelly).
- Added cap_sys_nice to the capabilities that are not dropped (thanks to Rolf
  Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Added cRecordingInfo::GetEvent() (thanks to Marcel Unbehaun).
- Improved synchronizing the progress display, trick modes and subtitle display
  to the actual audio/video. This now works independent of any buffer sizes the
  output device might use.
  + The cBackTrace class has been replaced with cPtsIndex, which keeps track
    of the PTS timestamps of recently played frames.
  + cDevice::GetSTC() is now required to deliver the STC even in trick modes.
    It is sufficient if it returns the PTS of the most recently presented
    audio/video frame.
  + The full-featured DVB cards need an improved firmware in order to return
    proper STC values in trick modes (thanks to Oliver Endriss for enhancing the
    av7110 firmware).
- Adapted cFrameDetector::Analyze() to HD NTSC broadcasts that split frames over
  several payload units (thanks to Derek Kelly for reporting this and helping in
  testing).
- Modified cFrameDetector::Analyze() to make it process whole frames at once, so
  that file I/O overhead is minimized during recording (reported by Günter
  Niedermeier).
- Added command line help for the '-i' option.
- Fixed cDvbPlayer::NextFile() to handle files larger than 2GB (thanks to Jose
  Alberto Reguero).
- Improved replay at the begin and end of a recording. The very first and very last
  frame is now sent to the output device repeatedly until GetSTC() reports that it
  has been played. cDvbPlayer::Action() no longer calls DeviceFlush() (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl for making sure vdr-xine no longer needs this).
- Added missing '[]' to the delete operator in cMenuEditStrItem::~cMenuEditStrItem().
- Added missing virtual destructor to cPalette.
- Now freeing configDirectory before setting it to a new value in
  cPlugin::SetConfigDirectory().
- Fixed a crash when jumping to an editing mark in an audio recording.
- Fixed the 'VideoOnly' condition in the PlayPes() and PlayTs() calls in
  cDvbPlayer::Action() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- cDevice::PlayTs() now plays as many TS packets as possible in one call.
- Making sure any floating point numbers written use a decimal point (thanks to
  Oliver Endriss for pointing out a problem with the F record in the info file of
  a recording).
- Fixed detecting the frame rate for radio recordings.
- Added missing AUDIO_PAUSE/AUDIO_CONTINUE calls to cDvbDevice (thanks to Oliver
  Endriss).
- No longer writing the video type into channels.conf if VPID is 0 (thanks to
  Oliver Endriss for reporting this).
- Improved efficiency of cEIT::cEIT() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).
2009-04-12 11:39:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger
084e16c057 Version 1.7.4
- Removed the '#define FE_CAN_2ND_GEN_MODULATION', since it was wrong and the
  flag is now in the driver, anyway.
- The full-featured DVB cards are now given the TS data directly for replay
  (thanks to Oliver Endriss for enhancing the av7110 driver to make it replay
  TS data). The patch from ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/av7110_ts_replay__1.diff
  implements this change in the driver.
  The patch av7110_v4ldvb_api5_audiobuf_test_1.diff mentioned in version 1.7.2
  is still necessary to avoid audio and video glitches on some channels.
- Added a typecast in cUnbufferedFile::Write() to avoid an error message when
  compiling on 64 bit systems.
- Added some missing 'const' statements to cBitmap (thanks to Andreas Regel).
- Fixed returning complete PES packets in cTsToPes::GetPes() (thanks to Reinhard
  Nissl).
- Added a missing Detach() in cTransfer::Activate() (thanks to Marco Schller).
- Added clearing the TS buffers in cDevice::Detach() (thanks to Marco Schller).
- Fixed incrementing the continuity counter in cPatPmtGenerator::GetPmt() (thanks
  to Johann Friedrichs).
- Fixed removing deleted recordings in case there is a problem. Once a recording
  caused a problem with removing, no others were removed any more and an ongoing
  recording could fill up the disk and cause other recordings to be deleted
  automatically (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- Added "DEFINES += -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE"
  to Make.config.template (thanks to Johann Friedrichs for pointing this out).
  Plugin authors should add this line to their Makefile or Make.config if they use
  file access functions that need special versions for 64 bit offsets.
- The new command line option -i can be used to set an "instance id", which will
  be used to distinguish recordings of the same broadcast made by different instances
  of VDR (suggested by Frank Schmirler). This replaces the use of the "resume id"
  that was introduced in version 1.7.3.
- Added checking mutexCurrentAudioTrack to cDevice::PlayTs() (thanks to Reinhard
  Nissl for pointing this out).
- Fixed handling the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to Frank
  Schmirler - sorry I swapped two lines when adopting the original patch).
- Checking the remaining packet length after processing the pointer field in
  cPatPmtParser::ParsePat() and cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (suggested by Frank
  Schmirler).
- Checking the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() only in 'payload start'
  packets (suggested by Frank Schmirler).
- Changed cPatPmtGenerator to make sure the PMT pid doesn't collide with any of
  the actual pids of the channel.
- Fixed cDevice::PlayTsAudio() and made cDevice::PlayTsVideo() return 0 if
  PlayVideo() didn't play anything.
- Added an 'int' typecast to calculations involving FramesPerSecond() to avoid
  compiler warnings (reported by Winfried Koehler).
- Fixed detecting frames for pure audio recordings.
- Fixed editing PES recordings. The frame type in the index.vdr file generated for
  the edited PES recording is set to 1 for I-frames and 2 for all others (P- and
  B-frames). The exact frame type doesn't matter for VDR, it only needs to know if
  it's an I-frame or not.
- The PAT/PMT is now only processed if its version changes (reported by Reinhard
  Nissl).
- Fixed handling the maximum video file size (reported by Udo Richter).
- Improved fast-forward/-rewind for audio recordings. The actual data is now sent
  to the output device, so that it can be replayed and thus cause the proper delay.
  For pure audio recordings the audio is no longer muted in fast-forward/-rewind
  mode, so that some orientation regarding the position within the recording is
  possible. There may still be some offset in the replay position displayed by the
  progress indicator when switching from fast-forward/-rewind to play mode, as well
  as in the current position during normal play mode. This is due to the various
  buffers between the player and the output device and will be addressed later.
  Note the new function cDevice::IsPlayingVideo(), which is used to inform the
  player whether there is video data in the currently replayed stream. If a derived
  cDevice class reimplements PlayTs() or PlayPes(), it also needs to make sure this
  new function works as expected.

Klaus Schmidinger
c296647594 Version 1.7.3
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Fixed handling the 'pointer field' in generating and parsing PAT/PMT (thanks to
  Frank Schmirler).
- Fixed handling modulation types for DVB-S transponders when processing the NIT.
- Changed cDvbDevice::GrabImage() to use V4L2 (thanks to Marco Schller).
- Added a poll to cDvbDevice::PlayVideo() and cDvbDevice::PlayAudio() to avoid
  excessive CPU load (this is just a makeshift solution until the FF DVB cards
  can play TS directly).
- The recording format is now Transport Stream. Existing recordings in PES format
  can still be replayed and edited, but new recordings are done in TS.
  All code for recording in PES has been removed.
  The following changes were made to switch to TS recording format:
  + The index file format has been changed to support file sizes of up to 1TB
    (previously 2GB), and up to 65535 separate files per recording (previously
    255).
  + The recording file names are now of the form 00001.ts (previously 001.vdr).
  + The frame rate is now detected by looking at two subsequent PTS values.
    The "frame duration" (in multiples of 1/90000) is stored in the info.vdr
    file using the new tag F (thanks to Artur Skawina for helping to get the
    IndexToHMSF() calculation right).
  + Several functions now have an additional parameter FramesPerSecond.
  + Several functions now have an additional parameter IsPesRecording.
  + The functionality of cFileWriter was moved into cRecorder, and cRemux is
    now obsolete. This also avoids one level of data copying while recording.
  + cRemux, cRingBufferLinearPes, cTS2PES and all c*Repacker classes have been
    removed.
  + A PAT/PMT is inserted before every independent frame, so that no extra
    measures need to be taken when editing a recording.
  + The directory name for a recording has been changed from
    YYYY-MM-DD-hh[.:]mm.pr.lt.rec (pr=priority, lt=lifetime) to
    YYYY-MM-DD-hh.mm.ch-ri.rec (ch=channel, ri=resumeId).
    Priority and Lifetime are now stored in the info.vdr file with the new
    tags P and L (if no such file exists, the maximum values are assumed by
    default, which avoids inadvertently deleting a recording if disk space
    is low). No longer storing Priority and Lifetime in the directory name
    avoids starting a new recording if one of these is changed in the timer
    and the recording is re-started for some reason.
    Instead of Priority and Lifetime, the directory name now contains the
    channel number from which the recording was made, and the "resume id" of
    this instance of VDR. This avoids problems if several VDR instances record
    the same show on different channels, or even on the same channel.
    The '-' between channel number and resumeId prevents older versions of
    VDR from "seeing" these recordings, which makes sure they won't even try
    to replay them, or remove them in case the disk runs full.
  + The semantics of PlayTs*() have been changed. These functions are now
    required to return the given Length (which is TS_SIZE) if they have
    processed the TS packet.
  + The files "index", "info", "marks" and "resume" within a TS recording
    directory are now created without the ".vdr" extension.
  + The "resume" file is no longer a binary file, but contains tagged lines
    to be able to store additional information, like the selected audio or
    subtitle track.
  + cDevice::StillPicture() will now be called with either TS or PES data.
  + cDvbPlayer::Goto() no longer appends a "sequence end code" to the data.
    If the output device needs this, it has to take care of it by itself.
- Fixed cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() to reset vpid and vtype when switching from
  a video to an audio channel (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- cDvbDevice now uses the FE_CAN_2G_MODULATION flag to determine whether a device
  can handle DVB-S2. The #define is still there to allow people with older drivers
  who don't need DVB-S2 to use this version without pathcing.
2009-01-06 20:31:53 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger
1834751c45 Version 1.7.2
- Added a note about 'Id' being obsolete to the description of cDevice::PlayAudio().
- Switched to the new S2API driver API, which was decided to become the official
  DVB API in the kernel (based on patches from Igor M. Liplianin, Niels Wagenaar
  and Edgar Hucek). VDR now uses the S2API driver from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb.
  In order to correctly detect DVB-S2 capable devices, you need to apply the patch
  from ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/v4l-dvb-s2api-add-s2-capability.diff to
  the driver source, because the S2API doesn't provide a way of telling whether a
  device can handle DVB-S2 transponders.
- The cDvbTuner::IsTunedTo() function now also checks the symbol rate in case of
  DVB-S and DVB-C.
- Improved handling PES video packets with zero length when converting from TS to PES.
  For good replay in Transfer Mode on full featured DVB cards you may want to apply
  the patch from ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/av7110_v4ldvb_api5_audiobuf_test_1.diff
  to the driver (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
2008-12-14 16:54:12 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger
c848ab793a Version 1.7.1
- Adapted the tuning code to the new DVBFE_SET_DELSYS API (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
  VDR now uses the driver from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto_plus.
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Removed obsolete $(NCURSESLIB) from the Makefile.
- Implemented handling the standard component descriptor for AC3 (stream=4), as it
  will soon be used by the German ARD channels (thanks to Michael Pennewiß for
  advance information about this change). The previously used "Premiere pseudo
  standard" (stream=2, type=5) still works, but has apparently been wrongfully used
  by broadcasters from the beginning.
- Added missing description of the 'S' channel parameter to vdr.5 (reported by
  Reinhard Nissl).
- The SVDRP signon message now indicates the character encoding in use, as in
  "220 video SVDRP VideoDiskRecorder 1.7.1; Fri May  2 16:17:10 2008; ISO-8859-1".
  This may be useful for instance for external tools that provide EPG data, so that
  they can correctly encode the strings.
- No longer calling FcFini() to avoid problems with older (broken) versions of
  fontconfig (suggested by Edgar Toernig).
- Removed the compile time option VFAT to allow users of precompiled binary
  distributions to have full control over whether or not to use the --vfat option
  at runtime (suggested by Michael Nork).
- First step towards switching to TS (Transport Stream) as recording format:
  + The new function cDevice::PlayTs() is used to play TS packets.
  + The new functions cDevice::PlayTsVideo() and cDevice::PlayTsAudio()
    are used to play video and audio TS packets, respectively.
  + The new function cAudio::PlayTs() is used to play audio TS packets.
  + The new class cPatPmtGenerator is used to generate a PAT/PMT pair that precedes
    the TS data in Transfer Mode.
  + The new class cPatPmtParser is used by cDevice to parse the PAT/PMT data in a
    TS in order to find out which streams it contains.
  + The new class cTsToPes is used to convert TS packets to a PES packet.
  + cTransfer no longer uses cRemux, and doesn't run a separate thread any more.
    It just generates a PAT/PMT and sends all received TS packets to the primary
    device's PlayTs().
  + Live subtitle display no longer uses a ring buffer and separate thread.
  + cPesAssembler has been removed. Old VDR recordings only contain complete PES
    packets.
  + Since a TS needs to have a PAT/PMT, which requires the video stream type to
    be explicitly given, the format of the VPID field in the channels.conf file
    and the SVDRP commands NEWC/MODC/LSTC has been extended. The video stream type
    now follows the VPID and optional PPID, separated by an '=' sign.
- Updated the sources.conf file (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Fixed a possible integer overflow in GetAbsTime() (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Fixed a problem with calling isyslog() from within the SignalHandler() (thanks
  to Udo Richter).
- Replaced the Finnish language code "smi" with "suo" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed wrong value for TableIdBAT in libsi/si.h (thanks to Winfried Köhler).
- Errors in config files no longer keep VDR from starting.
- Removed unneeded include files <linux/dvb/dmx.h> und <time.h> from remux.h
  (reported by Tobias Grimm).
2008-09-06 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger
771986b89f Version 1.7.0
- Re-implemented handling of DVB-S2, which first appeared in version 1.5.14, but was
  revoked in version 1.5.15 in favor of making a stable version 1.6.0. VDR now
  requires the "multiproto" DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto.
  Note that the channels.conf file now supports additional parameters, so you may
  want to make sure you have a backup of this file in case you need to go back to
  the previous version of VDR!
- Fixed displaying transponder data when it is modified (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling the counter in detection of pre 1.3.19 PS data (thanks to Reinhard
  Nissl).
- Improved logging system time changes to avoid problems on slow systems under
  heavy load (suggested by Helmut Auer).
- Now setting the thread name, so that it can be seen in 'top -H' (thanks to Rolf
  Ahrenberg).
- Fixed initializing the timer's flags in the cTimer copy constructor (thanks to
  Andreas Mair).
- Fixed setting the OSD level in the 'osddemo' example (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald).
- Increased the time between checking the CAM status to 500ms to avoid problems
  with some CAMs (reported by Arthur Konovalov).
2008-04-13 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger
fc4c8740a7 Version 1.5.13
- Fixed the declaration of cSubtitleObject::Decode8BppCodeString() (thanks to
  Gregoire Favre).
- The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Emergency exit" can be used to turn off
  the automatic restart of VDR in case a recording fails for some reason.
- The kInfo key is now propagated to any open menu, so that it can react to it
  in a context sensitive manner (suggested by Andreas Brugger). If there is
  no menu open it will show the info of the current broadcast or replay.
- cTimeMs now uses the monotonic clock, if available (thanks to Petri Hintukainen).
- Fixed cVector::Clear() and cStringList::Clear().
- Added cString::Truncate().
- Fixed the "i18n:" target in the "newplugin" script, so that it can create the
  initial *.pot file.
- Fixed handling the '-l' option.
- Fixed error handling in cCuttingThread::Action() (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Fixed a loss of the date display in the "classic" skin's main menu (reported by
  Andreas Brugger).
- Added a missing setting of lastFreeMB in cMenuMain::Update() (reported by
  Andreas Brugger).
- Added '-Wno-parentheses' to the compiler options in order to avoid silly compiler
  warnings for expressions like 'a || b && c', where GCC 4.3 wants to force the
  programmer to write 'a || (b && c)', while everybody knows that '&&' links
  stronger than '||' (reported by Tobias Grimm).
- Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley).
- Fixed displaying weekday names in the Schedule menu if the system uses UTF-8
  (reported by Jiri Dobry).
- The new plugin "pictures" implements a simple picture viewer.
  See PLUGINS/src/pictures/README for details.
- The automatic shutdown is now suppressed if the remote control is currently
  disabled (suggested by Helmut Auer, implemented by Udo Richter).
- Added a section about "Logging" to PLUGINS.html (suggested by Torsten Kunkel).
- Enhanced the SVDRP command CLRE to allow clearing the EPG data of a particular
  channel (thanks to Benjamin Hess).

29b2d48bb5 Version 1.5.12
- Fixed assembling PS1 packets in cTS2PES::instant_repack() (thanks to Reinhard
  Nissl).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Fixed handling small PES packets that caused subtitles to be displayed late
  in live mode (based on a patch from Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed stopping live subtitles when a player is attached to the device.
- Fixed suddenly stopping subtitles in live mode.

Klaus Schmidinger
182cd78af0 Version 1.5.11
- Fixed checking compatibility mode for old subtitles plugin (thanks to Marco
  Schlüßler).
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Michael Nival).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- The "Play" key now starts replay of the selected recording in the Recordings
  menu (thanks to Ville Skyttä);
- Improved shutdown handling (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Housekeeping now waits for a while after a replay has ended (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Added more special characters to the list of allowed characters when entering
  strings (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Added Ukrainian language texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk).
- Added a workaround for recovering from wrongfully interpreted "pre 1.3.19 PS1 packets".
- Fixed a possible blocking in replay when subtitles are active.
- Fixed displaying subtitles in live mode.
- Fixed handling CONFDIR (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added some missing 'const' keywords (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt).
- The 'Allowed' parameter in cMenuEditStrItem() is now NULL by default, which results
  in using tr(FileNameChars) (suggested by Thomas Günther).
- Added a missing '.' to the date returned by DayDateTime() (thanks to Lauri Nurmi).
- Improved the 'i18n' target in the Makefile to avoid unnecessary work (thanks to
  Stefan Huelswitt). The 'newplugin' and 'i18n-to-gettext.pl' scripts have been
  changed accordingly. Plugin authors may want to adjust the 'i18n' target
  of their Makefiles.
- Fixed a crash if no fonts are found (thanks to Mario Ivankovits and Clemens
  Kirchgatterer).
- Fixed decoding filename characters in case there are not two hex digits after
  the '#' (reported by Helmut Auer).

Klaus Schmidinger
dbf38b7c68 Version 1.5.10
- Implemented handling DVB subtitles (thanks to Marco Schlüßler, and also to
  Pekka Virtanen for writing the subtitle plugin, which helped in implementing
  subtitle handling in VDR).
- The new remote control key "Subtitles" can be used to bring up the list
  of available subtitles.
- The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle languages" can be used to define the
  preferred languages for subtitles.
- Fixed selecting the audio track when pressing Ok in the Audio menu (thanks
  to Marco Schlüßler).
- Implemented display of DVB subtitles in live viewing mode.
- Implemented subtitle track selection.
- Implemented bitmap color reduction and shrinking to display subtitles even
  on devices that can't display the necessary number of colors.
- Added compatibility mode for playback of recordings made with the subtitles
  plugin (with some help from Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle offset" can be used to shift the location
  of the subtitles in the vertical direction.
- The new setup options "DVB/Subtitle foreground/background transparency"
  define an additional level of transparency for the foreground and background
  color of subtitles.
- Existing recordings made with the subtitle plugin can be given an 'X' record
  in their info.vdr file, so that subtitles can be automatically selected upon
  replay, according to the preferred language setup, as in
  X 3 03 ger deutsch
  (see vdr.5). Note that these entries need to be added in the proper sequence,
  so that they correspond with the actual track languages in the recording.
- Now generating translation files without line numbers to avoid unnecessarily
  large diffs. Plugin authors may want to replace the -F option with
  --no-location in the xgettext and msgmerge calls in their Makefiles.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added a missing Channels.SetModified(true) call when deleting or moving a
  channel in the Channels menu (reported by Halim Sahin).
- Fixed a missing '-' at the next to last line of SVDRP help texts (reported by
  Denis Knauf).
- Added a missing SetVolumeDevice() call in cDevice::SetPrimaryDevice() (reported
  by Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed a crash when pressing Left while at the first character of a cMenuEditStrItem
  (thanks to Christian Wieninger).
- Only creating a new cDvbOsdProvider in cDvbDevice::MakePrimaryDevice() if 'On'
  is true (i.e. this device is being made the primary device).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed handling reallocated memory in cCharSetConv::Convert() (reported by Udo
  Richter).
- Fixed a new[]/delete mismatch in cMenuEditStrItem::LeaveEditMode() (thanks to
  Udo Richter).
- Implemented sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward
  trick speeds (thanks to Timo Eskola).
- Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Fixed description of DeviceSetAvailableTrack() and cReceiver(), and added an
  example ~cMyReceiver() in PLUGINS.html (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Improved the description of where logging goes in the INSTALL file (thanks to
  Elias Luttinen).
- Added a note about how to initiate internationalization support to the
  README.i18n file. The Makefile generated by the 'newplugin' script now has the
  'i18n' target automatically create an initial 'po/pluginname.pot' file.
  Plugin authors may want to add the '$(I18Npot)' dependency to the 'i18n'
  target in their Makefiles, as in
  i18n: $(I18Npot) $(I18Nmo)
  (based on a suggestion by Torsten Kunkel).
- Removed a duplicate ',' from the ca_ES.po file (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Added the 'ß' character to the "allowed characters" in the de_DE.po file
  (suggested by Thomas Günther).
- Made the default copy ctor of cRecording private (thanks to Markus Hahn).
  Same for the assign operator.
- Added cRecording::Undelete() (based on a patch from Markus Hahn).
- Added cDevice::CloseFilter() to allow a device to have complete control over
  both opening and closing section filters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Some fixes to PLUGINS.html (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).

Klaus Schmidinger
9f42c33ef6 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.

Klaus Schmidinger
287cd613a1 Version 1.4.4-1
- Some improvements to the man pages (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed a possible segfault in cSkins::Message() (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Made the getskyepg.pl script of the 'sky' plugin send a user agent message to
  the server, according to the rules at http://bleb.org/tv/data/listings.
  If your version of 'wget' doesn't support the -U option to set the user agent,
  use the new option -U of getskyepg.pl to have the information added to the URL
  as a query string.
- The getskyepg.pl script now replaces "&amp;" with "&".
- Fixed a possible crash in remux.c on 64-bit machines (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed a typo in the change to the "Use small font" setup option in version 1.3.47
  in the HISTORY and CONTRIBUTORS file (reported by Andreas Brugger).
- Added a missing 'const' to cRecordingInfo::ChannelID() (reported by Andreas
  Brugger). This required the APIVERSION to be increased, so plugins will have to
  be recompiled.
- Now calling cPluginManager::Active() only if VDR is really trying to shut down,
  and waiting for 5 minutes before calling it again (thanks to Jörg Wendel for
  reporting that cPlugin::Active() was called too often, and to Udo Richter for
  some hints on how to improve this).
- Replaced 'unsigned long' with 'uint32_t' and 'uint64' with 'uint64_t' to
  avoid problems on 64-bit machines.

Klaus Schmidinger
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:

- Implemented kNext and kPrev keys (based on a patch from Peter Juszack).

- Implemented kChanPrev (from a patch from Darren Salt).
- The "Update channels" parameter in the "Setup/DVB" menu has been extended to

- 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.

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.

Klaus Schmidinger
c23992b807 Version 1.3.42
- Removed leftover 'needsBufferReserve' variable from cTransfer (thanks to Marco
  Schlüßler).
- Fixed setting "No title" for broken event data (reported by Ronny Kornexl).
- Fixed channel up/down switching on single card systems (reported by Stefan
  Huelswitt).
- Fixed handling "pending" timers that blocked others that actually could record
  (reported by Thomas Koch).
- Speeded up cVideoRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added an 'Id' parameter to cDevice::PlayAudio() to allow plugins to easier
  process the audio data (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added Czech language texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta).
  Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact
  the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 21
  different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 21 versions for each of
  your texts.
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
- Fixed auto advance in string entry fields when pressing Up/Down in insert mode
  (reported by Udo Richter).
- Fixed handling the "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" option when set to 'yes' in
  case a replay is active (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Improved cUnbufferedFile; USE_FADVISE is now defined in tools.c by default, so
  if you don't want to use "fadvise" you need to comment out that line (thanks to
  Artur Skawina).
- Fixed a missing ',' in the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- cDevice::Transferring() can now be used to determine whether the (primary)
  device is currently playing in Transfer Mode (based on a suggestion by
  Reinhard Nissl).
- The 'runvdr' script no longer uses the $VDRUSR environment variable to set
  the user id under which 'vdr' shall run. Just add the '-u username' option
  when you call 'runvdr'.
- Fixed multiple entries of the same subdirectory in the "Recordings" menu
  (reported by Christian Jacobsen).
- Enabled generating a core dump if VDR is run with a different user id (thanks
  to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed handling the "Blue" key in the "Schedule" menu for the current channel
  (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Renamed the Makefile target 'plugins-clean' to 'clean-plugins' (suggested by
  Sebastian Frei).
- Made all font and image data 'const' (thanks to Darren Salt).
- Fixed scrolling with Up/Down in case there are non-selectable items at the
  beginning or end of the menu (reported by Helmut Auer).
- Added cSkin::GetTextAreaWidth() and cSkin::GetTextAreaFont(), so that a plugin
  that wants to do special text formatting can do so (thanks to Alexander Rieger).

Klaus Schmidinger
da948a50d2 Version 1.3.38
- Fixed handling second audio and Dolby Digital PIDs for encrypted channels
  (was broken in version 1.3.37).
- Improved TS/PES conversion to better handle lost TS packets (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Limited the frequency of log messages from the cRepackers.
- Now using the gettid() syscall to get a thread's pid, so that we get a
  useful value on NPTL systems (suggested by Johannes Stezenbach).
- Fixed the RCU remote control handling to avoid problems with NPTL (thanks
  to Andreas Share for reporting a lockup with the RCU on NPTL systems).
- When displaying the amount of free disk space, the space consumed by
  recordings that have been "deleted" but not yet actually "removed" is now
  taken into account (suggested by Christian Vogt).
- Now avoiding unnecessary disk access when checking if there are deleted
  recordings that need to be removed (reported by Carsten Koch).
- Fixed handling the DELETEDLIFETIME when removing deleted recordings. Now
  a deleted recording is retained at least DELETEDLIFETIME seconds before
  actually removing it.
  The value of DELETEDLIFETIME has been changed to 300. So after (possibly
  inadvertently) deleting a recording, there will be at least 5 minutes
  in which it can be recovered (unless a new recording immediately requires
  the disk space). The count starts again at 0 every time VDR is started.
- Fixed a possible crash when displaying the "Low disk space!" message from
  a background thread (thanks to Christof Steininger).
- Fixed handling OSD areas that have invalid sizes (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added a mutex to AssertFreeDiskSpace() to make sure calls from foreground
  and background threads won't interfere.
- The main menu now dynamically updates its contents in case an instant
  recording or replay stops, etc.
- The version number of EPG events is now also stored in the epg.data file
  (thanks to Kendy Kutzner).
- EPG events that are no longer in the currently broadcasted data stream are
  now automatically deleted.
- Removed an invalid access to Event->schedule in cSchedule::DelEvent().
- Modified cSchedule::Cleanup() (events are always sorted by time).
- Schedules are now cleaned up once every hour (not only at 05:00).
- The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus are now updated if a timer
  is set or modified.
- cTimer no longer has its own 'schedule' member, it rather uses that of the
  event it has been set to.
- The "Red" button in the "Schedule", "What's on now/next?" and "Event" menus
  now immediately creates a timer for the selected event and marks it with 'T'.
  If the event is already marked with 'T', the "Red" button opens the "Edit
  timer" menu for that timer.
- Removing deleted recordings is now done in a separate thread.
- Dropped the unused "stop recording on primary interface" stuff.
- Converting a grabbed image to JPEG is now done with the new function
  RgbToJpeg() (see tools.h).
- The SVDRP command GRAB now determines the image type (JPEG or PNM) from the
  extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm") of the given file name. The explicit
  'jpeg' or 'pnm' parameter is still accepted for backward compatibility, but
  has no meaning any more.
- The function cDevice::GrabImage() no longer writes the grabbed image to a
  file, but rather returns a pointer to the image in memory. The wrapper
  function cDevice::GrabImageFile() can be used to write the grabbed image
  directly to a file. Plugins that used the old version of cDevice::GrabImage()
  need to be adapted to the new interface.
- The new class cBase64Encoder (see tools.h) can be used to encode data in
  base64 (thanks to Bob Withers for publishing his Base64 class).
- The SVDRP command GRAB now writes the image data to the SVDRP connection
  (encoded in base64) if the given file name consists of only the file
  extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm"), or if only "-" is given as file
  name (based on a suggestion from Darren Salt).
  A simple way of viewing a grabbed image on a remote host is:

  svdrpsend.pl -d <hostname> 'grab -' | sed -n -e 's/^216-//p' -e '1ibegin-base64 644 -' -e '$a====' | uudecode | display -

- The new command line option '-g' must be given if the SVDRP command GRAB
  shall be allowed to write image files to disk. The parameter to this option
  must be the full path name of an existing directory, without any "..", double
  '/' or symlinks. By default, or if "-g- is given, grabbing to files is
  not allowed any more because of potential security risks.
- Modified the way the SVDRP command GRAB writes the grabbed image to a file
  to avoid a security hole (CAN-2005-0071, reported by Javier Fernández-Sanguino
  Peña):
  + The file handle is now opened in a way that it won't follow symbolic links
    (suggested by Darren Salt).
  + The given file name is now canonicalized, so that it won't contain any
    ".." or symlinks (suggested by Darren Salt).
  + Grabbing to files is limited to the directory given in the the command
    line option '-g'. By default grabbing to files is not allowed any more.
- Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Changed all "illegal" to "invalid" in error messages (there's nothing "illegal"
  in VDR ;-).
- When started as user 'root' VDR now switches to a lesser privileged user id,
  keeping the capability to set the system time (based on a patch from Ludwig
  Nussel). By default the user id 'vdr' is used, which can be changed through
  the new command line option '-u'. Note that for security reasons VDR will no
  longer run as user 'root' (unless you explicitly start it with '-u root',
  but this is not recommended!). The 'runvdr' script has been changed to
  use the '-u' option.
- Changed the API of the functions cStatus::Recording() and cStatus::Replaying(),
  so that they can provide the full file name of the recording. Plugins that use
  these (or the related cStatus::Msg...() functions) need to be adapted
  (suggested by Andreas Brugger).
- The DVB devices now retune (and, if applicable, resend the DiSEqC data) if
  the lock is lost (based on a patch from Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling multi byte key sequences in cKbdRemote (based on a patch from
  Jürgen Schneider).
- Removed unused variables in skinclassic.c and skinsttng.c (thanks to Marco
  Schlüßler).
- Made the static cControl functions thread safe (thanks to Patrick Fischer).
- Fixed initializing pthread_mutexattr_t and pthread_rwlockattr_t to avoid
  warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed incrementing the 'state' variables in the repacker classes in remux.c
  to avoid warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (reported by Ville Skyttä).
- The Makefile now reports a summary of failed plugins (thanks to Udo Richter).
- The cTimer constructor can now take an optional cChannel (suggested by
  Patrick Fischer).
- Fixed setting the main thread id if VDR is running as a daemon.
- Fixed handling TS packets in cTS2PES (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added cTimer::SetPriority() to set a timer's priority (suggested by Kendy Kutzner).
- Added cMenuEditStrItem::InEditMode() (suggested by Christian Wieninger).
- Now using FE_READ_STATUS to read the current frontend status (suggested by
  Holger Wächtler).
- The "Menu" key now behaves consistently. If there is anything on the OSD, it
  is closed when the "Menu" key is pressed, and if there is nothing on the OSD,
  the "Menu" key opens the main menu (suggested by Luca Olivetti).
- The new option "Setup/OSD/Timeout requested channel info" can be used to turn
  off the automatic timeout of the channel display in case it was invoked by
  a press of the "Ok" key (suggested by Thiemo Gehrke).
- A message is now given when an instant recording is started (suggested by
  Helmut Auer). Actually the code was already there, just commented out - don't
  remember why it wasn't active...
- Removed an obsolete "Summary" text from i18n.c and preceded all key definition
  texts with "Key$" to avoid duplicates (reported by Lucian Muresan).
- Preceded all button texts with "Button$".
- Removed obsolete "Eject", "Language" and "scanning recordings..." texts.
- Added missing #include "thread.h" to dvbspu.c (reported by Gavin Hamill).
- Disabled the use of "fadvise" in cUnbufferedFile because there have been
  several reports that it causes more problems than it solves (suggested by
  Petri Hintukainen). If you want to use "fadvise", you can activate the line
  //#define USE_FADVISE
  in tools.c.
- Removed unused 'offset' member from cOsdItem.
- In the "Channels" menu the numeric keys now position the cursor to the channel
  with the given number (see MANUAL, section "Remote Control Keys", note (3) for
  details).
- The "Mark/Move" function in the "Channels" menu now also works in the non-numeric
  sort modes.
- The default cOsdObject::Show() now automatically calls cOsdMenu::Display() if
  this is a menu.
- The new "Info" key brings up information on the currently viewed programme
  or recording. For a live programme this is the same as "Schedule/Ok", i.e. the
  description of the current EPG event. For a recording this is the same as shown
  by the "Info" button in the "Recordings" menu. Plugins that implement players
  can overwrite their cControl::GetInfo() function to show their own info (see
  PLUGINS.html for details). Pressing the "Info" key again while the info is
  displayed will close the OSD. In order to assign this new key to an existing
  remote control setup, the remote.conf file needs to be deleted and VDR has
  to be restarted to go through the process of learning the remote control keys.
- Any cReceivers still attached to a cDevice when that device switches to a
  different transponder are now automatically detached (suggested by Patrick
  Fischer).
- The "flags" of a timer are now handled as an unsigned integer value. In order
  to do this, the interface of cMenuEditBitItem also had to be changed.
- In string entry fields (like, e.g., the file name of a recording) the characters
  can now be entered by pressing the numeric keys, the same way as on a
  telephone keypad (based on the "Easy Input" patch from Marcel Schaeben).
- Fixed the "Day" field of the "Edit timer" menu when pressing '0' to switch
  from "single shot" to "weekly", followed by the "Right" key (reported by
  Andreas Böttger).
- The file 'ca.conf' is obsolete and has been removed.
- Revised all descriptions regarding CICAM.
- Adapted c(Dvb)Device::ProvidesCa() to the dynamic CA handling.
- Added a mutex to synchronize cDevice::PlayPesPacket() and SetCurrentAudioTrack()
  (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added a SleepMs() in cRecorder::Action() to avoid a busy loop (thanks to Ingo
  Schneider).
- Cleaned up some trailing white space.

d5c85f5ff8 Version 1.3.32
- Added some missing braces in remux.c (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one).
- Removed unused MAINMENUENTRY from svdrpdemo.c (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting
  this one).
- Fixed appending sequence end code in cDvbPlayer::Goto() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed syncing in cRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Now always using stream id 0xE0 for the video stream, to avoid problems with
  post processing tools that choke on different ids (suggested by Reinhard Nissl).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed cDvbPlayer::SkipFrames() to properly handle radio recordings (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil).
- Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Made LIRC command parsing more robust (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Introduced a separate 'plugins-install' target in the Makefile (thanks to Daniel
  Thompson).
- Re-introduced the code that waits for a tuner lock in VDR/device.c, since
  apparently some users actually need it. It's not active by default, you'll have
  to define the WAIT_FOR_TUNER_LOCK macro in that file if you need it (suggested
  by Malcolm Caldwell).
- Adjusted the Makefile to the dvb-kernel driver on kernel 2.6 and up (thanks to
  Lauri Tischler).
- Repeat keys are now ignored when waiting for a keypress to cancel an operation
  (thanks to Marko Mäkelä).
- The main menu function of a plugin can now be activated through a key macro of
  the form "@plugin" even if that plugin doesn't have a main menu entry (using
  part of a patch by Hardy Flor, which originally implemented calling plugins from
  SVDRP).
- The menu timeout handling is now done centrally in the main program loop.
- Added missing help for the 'help' keyword in the SVDRP command PLUG.
- The main menu function of a plugin can now be called programmatically through
  the static function cRemote::CallPlugin().
- The SVDRP command PLUG now has a new option 'main' which can be used to initiate
  a call to the main menu function of a plugin (using part of a patch by Hardy Flor).
- The new command line option '--vfat' can be used to make VDR encode special
  characters in recording file names, even if it wasn't compiled with VFAT=1
  (suggested by Peter Bieringer). The compile time option VFAT still exists and
  creates a VDR that always behaves as if it were called with '--vfat'.
- Replaced the ':' delimiter between hour and minute in recording file names with
  a '.' under Linux, too. Existing recordings with ':' as delimiter will still work.
- Implemented the SVDRP command MOVC (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Added support for multiple audio language codes in ISO639LanguageDescriptors to
  'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Changed the audio PID language codes to hold up to two 3 letter codes, separated
  by '+', to store separate languages broadcast in two channel audio mode.
- If the preferred audio language is broadcast on a PID that has two different
  languages in the two stereo channels, the audio channel is now properly set when
  switching to such a channel (thanks to Mogens Elneff for his help in testing this).
- Fixed some typos in MANUAL (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed the default value for "Setup/EPG bugfix level" (thanks to Ville Skyttä for
  reporting this one).
- Fixed defining timers that only differ in the day of week (thanks to Patrick
  Rother for reporting this one).
- Fixed converting summary.vdr files that would result in a very long 'short text'
  (thanks to Carsten Koch).
- Implemented a hash for the channels to reduce the system load in the EIT scanning
  thread (based on a patch by Georg Acher).

Klaus Schmidinger
ad40eaa28e Version 1.3.31
- Added missing German OSD texts for 'Audio language'.
- The Setup/CICAM menu now only contains the devices that actually have a CI and
  dynamically detects the number of slots a CI provides.
- Implemented cAudioRepacker for better handling of audio PES packets (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Modified handling of audio packets for radio channels in remux.c (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Fixed the EPG scan, so that it doesn't use the primary device if that is
  currently in Transfer-Mode from itself (thanks to Marcus Hilbrich for a bug
  report that lead to this).
- Removed the TUNER_LOCK_TIMEOUT in cDevice::AttachReceiver() since it caused more
  trouble than it fixed.
- Fixed detecting short channel names for "Kabel Deutschland", who uses a comma
  as delimiter (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Moved cMenuEditTimer and cMenuEvent to menu.h so that plugins can use it (suggested
  by Thomas Günther).
- The new static function cString::sprintf() can be used to easily create a formatted
  string.
- Plugins can now implement their own SVDRP commands (based on a patch from Hardy
  Flor). See PLUGINS.html, section "SVDRP commands" for details. The SVDRP commands
  of a plugin are accessed through the new SVDRP command PLUG.
  See PLUGINS/src/svdrpdemo for an example of how to use this feature.
- The new SVDRP command PLAY can be used to start replaying a recording (thanks to
  Hardy Flor).
- The new SVDRP command EDIT can be used to start the editing process of a recording
  (based on the CUTR patch by Harald Milz).
2005-08-28 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger
dab203efe9 Version 1.3.30
- Improved responsiveness inside CAM menus.
- Added handling of the 'Close MMI' tag to avoid error log messages with CAMs
  that actually use it.
- Now waiting at startup until all DVB devices are ready. This includes having
  all CAMs initialized and ready to decrypt, so that no more "channel not
  available" happens if VDR is started with the current channel being an encrypted
  one, or a timer on such a channel hits right after starting VDR.
- Fixed cVideoRepacker to better handle errors in data (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed cDvbTuner to avoid lockups on NPTL systems (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Added 'Service' functions to the plugin interface (thanks to Udo Richter).
  See PLUGINS.html, section "Custom services" for details.
- Replaced the get/put_unaligned() macros from <asm/unaligned.h> with own inline
  functions to avoid problems on platforms that don't provide these (thanks to
  David Woodhouse for his help).
2005-08-21 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger
4c5de28883 Version 1.3.28
- Added a sleep in cDvbPlayer::Action() in case there is no data to send to the
  device, which avoids a busy loop on very fast machines (thanks to Martin Wache).
- Modified the description of cDevice::Poll() to avoid misunderstandings.
- Updated Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor).
- cDvbPlayer::Goto() now appends a Sequence End Code to get the image shown
  immediately with softdevices (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Reactivated cVideoRepacker in remux.c after some fixes (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Removed the fix for handling VPS timers, so that they only record if the event
  they are assigned to actually has the given VPS time. This has caused repeating
  VPS timers to stop recording prematurely.
- Avoiding duplicate components in EPG events when reading epg.data or in the
  PUTE SVDRP command (thanks to Olaf Titz for reporting this one).
- Added the command line options '--lirc', '--rcu' and '--no-kbd' to allow setting
  the remote control at runtime (based on a patch by Darren Salt).
- Now checking whether timers or channels are currently being edited via the menu
  before making changes through SVDRP (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting a
  problem with this).
- Files and directories are now created with rights according to the shell's
  umask settings (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Fixed the cChannel copy constructor (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out
  a problem with it).
- Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access with audio language ids (thanks to
  Matthias Lenk for reporting, and Udo Richter for suggesting a fix).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added missing storing of the MenuScrollPage parameter (thanks to Frank Krömmelbein).
- Added cRemux::SetTimeouts() for better use of cRemux in a single thread (thanks
  to Udo Richter for reporting a problem with this).
- Modified cEITScanner::Process() so that it uses the primary device if it is
  replaying and is the only device that provides the given transponder, and that
  a forced EPG scan works even if EPG scan timeout is set to 0 (thanks to
  Bernhard Stegmaier for reporting a problem with this).
- Fixed cDvbSpuBitmap::putPixel() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed setting system time to avoid time jumps in case of faulty data (thanks
  to Andreas Böttger).
- Fixed a memory leak in the SVDRP command LSTE (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
2005-08-07 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger
fef3aa3a7f Version 1.3.27
- Fixed handling 'page down', which was broken in version 1.3.26 (thanks to Udo
  Richter).
- Modified page scrolling behaviour (based on a suggestion by Patrick Gleichmann).
- The new setup option "OSD/Scroll wraps" can be used to activate wrapping around
  in menu lists (based on a suggestion by Patrick Gleichmann).
- Removed the NPTL check at startup, since several users have reported that VDR
  now runs fine with NPTL.
- Fixed handling VPS timers, so that they only record if the event they are assigned
  to actually has the given VPS time.
- Disabled cVideoRepacker in remux.c, because it has caused several problems
  during recording. If you want to test (and maybe debug) it, activate the line

  //#define TEST_cVideoRepacker

  in remux.c.
- When drawing a bitmap to the OSD, the existing palette of the target can now be
  replaced with the new one instead of adding the new entries (thanks to Andreas
  Regel).
2005-06-19 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger
a616d4b859 Version 1.3.26
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling 'summary.vdr' files with more than two empty lines (thanks to
  Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one).
- Improved resetting CAM connections (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Implemented cVideoRepacker in remux.c to make sure every PES packet contains
  only data from one frame (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
  NOTE: currently this doesn't work with MPEG1, so if you use MPEG1 you may want
  to change line 1158 in remux.c to

  ts2pes[numTracks++] = new cTS2PES(VPid, resultBuffer, IPACKS);

  as it was before.
- EPG events without a title now display "No title" instead of "(null)" (thanks
  to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- A device can now detach all receivers for a given PID, as is necessary, e.g.,
  for the bitstreamout plugin (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Added the year (two digits) to recording dates in LSTR, and thus also in menus
  (suggested by Jan Ekholm).
- Fixed the call to Channels.Unlock() in cEITScanner::Process() (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling timers with a day given as MTWTF--@6, i.e. a repeating timer with
  first day not as full date, but just day of month (thanks to Henrik Niehaus for
  reporting this one).
- Removed an unnecessary #include from osd.c (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald).
- Fixed dropping EPG events that have a zero start time or duration, in case it's
  an NVOD event (thanks to Chris Warren).
- Fixed handling page up/down in menu lists in case there are several non selectable
  items in a row (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting this one).
- Added cOsdMenu::SetCols() to allow adjusting the menu columns.
- Modified cEITScanner::Process() so that it works on systems with only budget cards
  or a mix of DVB-S, DVB-C or DVB-T cards.

Klaus Schmidinger
782b517c51 Version 1.3.23
- The setup option "DVB/Video display format" is now only available if "Video format"
  is set to "4:3" (suggested by Mikko Salo).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov).
- Dropped CA support for the old '-icam' firmware.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil).
- Fixed a few French OSD texts that were in the wrong place.
- Improved matching timers to EPG events, especially in case there are several events
  with the same VPS time.
- Fixed cDolbyRepacker to allow recording ProSieben HD broadcasts (thanks to Reinhard
  Nissl).
- Fixed cDvbDevice::SetVideoDisplayFormat() in case of 16:9 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The running status of a VPS event is now only taken seriously if that event has been
  seen within the last 30 seconds - otherwise recording is done as if no VPS was
  available.
- The day of a timer is now stored as a full date in ISO notation ("YYYY-MM-DD") in
  'timers.conf' and for the result of the SVDRP command LSTT (based in parts on a
  patch by Roman Krenický).
- Some fixes to avoid compiler warnings in gcc 4.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting
  these).
- Single shot timers are now reliably deleted when they have expired.
- Fixed setting the colored button help after deleting a recording in case the next
  menu entry is a directory (thanks to Steffen Beyer).
- Improved falling back to normal recording if the VPS data hasn't been seen for more
  than 30 seconds.
- Added a missing cMutexLock to cRemote::HasKeys() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald).
- All log entries regarding timers now contain a short description of the timer.
2005-03-20 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger
dbacda8274 Version 1.3.21
- Fixed cDvbDevice::SetAudioTrackDevice() to avoid a blank screen after switching
  back to live mode if a recording is currently active on the primary device.
- Fixed a possible freeze in pause mode in case a device's PlayPesPacket() function
  permanently returns 0 (thanks to Reinhard Nissl and Olaf Titz).
- Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Restricted the "setting audio track" log message to automatic changes during replay.
- Fixed handling Transfer Mode for radio channels (thanks to Andreas Regel for
  reporting this one).
- Fixed handling symbolic links in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() (thanks to Stefan
  Huelswitt).
- Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Forcing a new resync after a call to cRemux::Clear() (suggested by Marco Schlüßler).
- The cAudio::Play() function now has an additional parameter 'uchar Id' which tells
  the function the substream id of the given audio packet, so that a plugin can
  take the right action for the various kinds if audio data - which now also includes
  "normal" audio with ids 0xC0...0xDF (based on suggestions by Werner Fink and Macro
  Schlüßler).
- Removed the "Cleared/PlayPes(NULL, 0)" handling from cTransfer::Action(), since this
  is now done when attaching the player to the device (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Making sure the buffer reserve in cTransfer::Action() is re-established after
  clearing the buffer.
- Added DeviceClrAvailableTracks() and DeviceSetCurrentAudioTrack() to cPlayer
  (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a typo in detecting UTF-8 (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Now using twice the buffer reserve in cTransfer if the primary DVB card is an
  unmodified version with only 2MB of SDRAM, to avoid audio stuttering when
  playing Dolby Digital over the DVB card (thanks to Christian Jacobsen and Chad
  Flynt for suggestions and experiments in that area).
- Making sure the first audio packet is not dropped when switching to "pre 1.3.19
  Dolby Digital compatibility mode".
- The 'plugins-clean' target of the Makefile now only deletes the actual plugin
  library files from this version of VDR (suggested by Andreas Brachold).
- Added a missing 'resultSkipped = 0' to cRemux::Clear() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler
  for reporting this one).
- The new function cDvbDevice::SetTransferModeForDolbyDigital() can be used by
  plugins that implement Dolby Digital output and thus want to prevent the cDvbDevice
  from starting Transfer Mode in order to replay DD over the DVB device.
- Added missing reset of the 'repacker' to cTS2PES::Clear() (thanks to Marco
  Schlüßler for reporting this one).
2005-02-13 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger
4d477cd144 Version 1.3.20
- Fixed displaying the "Audio" menu with the "Green" button from the "Main" menu
  in case there is only one audio track (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting
  this one).
- Now setting primaryDevice = NULL before deleting the devices in cDevice::Shutdown()
  to avoid problems in case other threads access it (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald for
  pointing this out).
- Fixed a buffer overflow in case a station defines all 32 audio PIDs (thanks to
  Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one).
- Fixed masking SubStreamType in cDevice::PlayPesPacket() (thanks to Werner Fink
  for pointing out this one).
- The new function cPlugin::Stop() shall be used to stop any background activities
  of a plugin. Previously this was done in the plugin's destructor, but it is
  better to do this in a dedicated function that can be called early when shutting
  down.
- Moved the call to SetAudioChannel(0) into cDevice::ClrAvailableTracks() to have it
  executed also when starting a replay.
- Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Completed the French OSD texts (thanks to Olivier Jacques).
- The new setup option "OSD/Channel info time" can be used to define the time after
  which the channel display is removed if no key has been pressed (thanks to
  Olivier Jacques).
- Modified cDolbyRepacker to make sure PES packets don't exceed the requested length
  (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed several memory leaks that were introduced through the use of cString (thanks
  to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting these).
- Added CMD_SPU_CHG_COLCON to cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Making sure the current audio track is actually one of the ones available in a
  recording (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting a problem when starting
  replay of a recording that has no Dolby Digital audio after switching to a channel
  that has DD and selecting the DD audio track).
- Removed 'flags' from tTrackId (thought we would need this, but apparently we don't).
- Making sure the "Mute" and "Volume+/-" keys don't interfere with digital audio.
- Fixed the "pre 1.3.19" compatibility mode for old Dolby Digital recordings (thanks
  to Werner Fink for pointing out that this can be triggered in the default branch).
- Calling pesAssembler->Reset() in cDevice::AttachPlayer() to avoid problems with
  residual data in replay and Transfer Mode (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing this
  out).
- Added MPEG1 replay capability to cPesAssembler (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
