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.

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:
- Added maximum SNR value for PCTV Systems nanoStick T2 290e (thanks to Antti
  Hartikainen).
- Added a remark indicating that the coordinates of Rect in a call to
  cDevice::CanScaleVideo() are in the range of the width and height returned by
  GetOsdSize() (suggested by Reinhard Nissl).
- Modified the Makefiles (thanks to Christopher Reimer).
  By default VDR is now built according to the FHS ("File system Hierarchy Standard"),
  and a plain "make" in the VDR source directory just builds everything, but doesn't
  copy it to ./PLUGINS/lib and ./locale any more. You can use a Make.config file
  (copied from Make.config.template) and set the parameter LCLBLD=1 to have everything
  built and installed under the VDR source tree (as was the default in previous
  versions). If you already have your own Make.config file, you may want to copy the
  new Make.config.template and adapt it to your needs. If you don't want VDR's data
  files to be spread around your system according to the FHS, you can set the
  parameter ONEDIR=1 (using Make.config) to have all files in one /video directory as
  before.
- Fixed the example for cReceiver in PLUGINS.html.
- Fixed sorting recordings in case two folders have the same name, but one of them
  ends in an additional digit, as in "abc" and "abc2" (reported by Andreas Mair).
- Added "repeat" function when using the keyboard to control VDR (thanks to Reinhard
  Nissl).
- The SVDRP command LSTR now knows the additional parameter "path", which can be
  given to get the actual file name of a recording's directory (suggested by
  Stefan Stolz).
- Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there
  are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (reported by Andreas
  Mair).
- Absolute jumps when replaying a recording (via the Red key) are now only performed
  if an actual value has been entered (suggested by Ulf Kiener).
- The last replayed recording is now stored in setup.conf, which allows the blue
  "Resume" key in the main menu to work even after a restart of VDR.
- The SVDRP command NEWT no longer checks whether a timer with the given data already
  exists (suggested by Malte Forkel).
- Implemented scaling of SPU bitmaps (thanks to Johann Friedrichs).
- Improved cutting MPEG-2 video (thanks to Sören Moch).
- Reduced the number of retries in cTransfer::Receive() to avoid blocking recordings
  in case the primary device can't handle the current live signal.

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

WARNING:
========

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

From the HISTORY file:
- Now checking for NULL in cOsd::AddPixmap() (suggested by Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed the German translation of "VDR will shut down in %s minutes" (thanks to
  Frank Neumann).
- The replay progress display is now turned on whenever a mark is toggled (not
  only when one is set).
- Toggling a mark now restarts the timeout of the replay progress display.
- Fixed a possible race condition with the SVDRP commands CLRE and PUTE, where
  EPG data from the transponder could be handled even though it shouldn't be
  handled for 10 seconds.
- Added some missing member initializations in cBitmap.
- Improved displaying the play mode in the ST:TNG skin.
- Made the ST:TNG skin the default in case the user selected skin is not available.
- Improved displaying signal strength and quality in the ST:TNG skin's channel
  display.
- Fixed switching devices to the transponders of VPS recordings in case there
  are only bonded devices. The cDevice's "avoid device" mechanism has been replaced
  by using "occupied".
- Fixed selecting devices for the EPG scan in case the primary device is bonded
  with an other one.
- Removed the calls to EITScanner.UsesDevice(this) from dvb[hs]ddevice.c, because
  the code following these calls is only executed if LiveView is true, which is
  never the case when the EITScanner switches to a channel.
- Removed the obsolete function cEITScanner::UsesDevice(). If a plugin has used this
  function to find out whether a call to its cStatus::ChannelSwitch() function was
  due to a live channel switch, it can use that function's new parameter LiveView.
  Any plugins that implement cStatus::ChannelSwitch() need to add the parameter
  'bool LiveView' to that function.
- Fixed parsing channel data in case the audio pid is 0. On channels that only
  broadcast Dolby Digital audio there were sometimes log entries like
  "changing pids of channel ... from ... to ..." with no apparent difference
  between the old and new set of pids.
- Fixed checking pids in case a channel has only Dolby Digital audio.
- The Green button in the "Edit timer" menu can now be used to toggle between single
  shot and repeating timers. This is the same as pressing '0' when the "Day" field
  is selected, but it works at any time (and is more obvious).
- Revoked "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".
- Added a new plugin interface for implementing EPG handlers.
  + A plugin can implement an EPG handler by creating an object derived from
    cEpgHandler and implementing the necessary member functions.
  + The special handling of events with table id 0x00 has been dropped.
    For backwards compatibility EPG events with table ids lower than 0x4E will
    be treated as if they had a table id of 0x4E, and the new plugin 'epgtableid0'
    can be used to have them handled like in previous versions.
  + The default table id for a newly created cEvent has been changed to 0xFF,
    which is higher than any normal table id that is broadcast in the EIT data.
  See PLUGINS.html, section "Electronic Program Guide" for more information.

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.
