6f93a5f781 Version 1.3.14
- Fixed detecting transponder lock in cDvbTuner (based on a patch from Stefan
  Meyknecht).
- What was previously marked with WAIT_FOR_LOCK_AFTER_TUNING is now permanently
  active and uses a cCondVar to signal when a transponder is locked.
- Added some missing 'const' to cChannel.
- Added a sample setup for 'DisiCon-4 Single Cable Network' to 'diseqc.conf'
  (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed attaching a cPlayer to a cDevice, so that 'Operation not permitted'
  errors don't occur any more (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a case where the resultBuffer in cRemux ran full before getting a sync.
- Removed the usleep() call from cDvbPlayer::Action() to make VDR run on NPTL
  systems (thanks to Alfred Zastrow). The NPTL check at startup has also been
  removed.
- Taking the complete size of available data into account when deciding whether
  to clear the transfer buffer to avoid overflows (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Updated Romanian language texts and the iso8859-2 fonts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Now actually using the iso8859-15 fonts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Some minor code cleanups (thanks to Prakash K. Cheemplavam).
- Fixed missing cleanup at program exit in case there is a problem with a plugin
  (thanks to Mattias Grönlund for pointing this out).
- Increased the required free buffer space in the resultBuffer of cRemux to
  2 * IPACKS to avoid a buffer overflow in case a cTS2PES writes one complete
  packet and then (within processing the same TS packet) wants to write another
  small packet.
- Removed the signal handler and WakeUp() call from cThread (it is no longer
  needed).
- Added some checks when canceling a thread and removed the usleep() in
  cThread::Start() (suggested by Ludwig Nussel). Also removed 'running' from
  cThread and using only childTid to indicate whether a thread is actually
  running.
- Added cCondWait::Sleep() and using it to replace all usleep() calls (based
  on a suggestion by Werner Fink).
- Only assigning events to timers if the related schedule has actually been
  modified.
- When searching for the present event, the running status is now only taken
  into account if the event has been "seen" within the past 30 seconds.
  This avoids shortly seeing the wrong events in the channel display when
  switching to a channel that hasn't been tuned to in a while.

af483c11ae Version 1.3.13
- Fixed checking for the presence of NPTL (thanks to Jouni Karvo).
- Making sure section filters are only set if the device actually has a lock
  (thanks to Andreas Share for pointing this out).
- Fixed a possible NULL pointer assignment in cMenuText::SetText() (thanks to
  Marco Schlüssler).
- Fixed a crash in case the last line in channels.conf is a group separator and
  that group is selected in the channel display (thanks to Dick Streefland).
- Added cRingBufferLinear::Read() to read directly from a file handle into the
  ring buffer.
- Using timeouts in ring buffers to avoid 'usleep()'.
- Clearing the 'Transfer Mode' ring buffer after clearing the device to avoid
  an "almost full" ring buffer.
- Removed locking from cRingBufferLinear for better performance under high load.
- Using a cRingBufferLinear in cRemux to avoid unnecessary copying of data.
- Using a cRingBufferLinear in cTSBuffer and filling it in a separate thread
  to avoid buffer overflows. Plugins using cTSBuffer will need to remove the
  call to the now obsolete Read() function (see cDvbDevice::GetTSPacket() for
  the new usage of cTSBuffer).
- cRemux::Process() has been split into Put(), Get() and Del() to allow for a
  better decoupling of the remuxing and disk writing process. Plugins using
  cRemux will need to be modified accordingly.
- The actual disk writing in recordings is now done in a separate thread to
  improve the overall throughput.
- Changed cRemux so that it returns the maximum available amount of data with
  each call, not just 2048 byte.
- Added a visual display of all cRingBufferLinear buffers for debugging. To
  activate it, define DEBUGRINGBUFFERS in ringbuffer.h.
- Instead of cCondVar now using the new cCondWait (which also avoids a possible
  "near miss" condition; thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for pointing out this one).
  cCondVar is still present for plugins that use it (and VDR itself also still
  uses it in cRemote).
- The cRingBuffer now does EnableGet()/EnablePut() only if the buffer is more than
  one third full or empty, respectively. This dramatically improves recording
  performance and reduces system load (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for doing some
  testing regarding buffer performance and giving me some hints that finally led
  to finding out that this was the basic problem causing buffer overflows).
- Improved Transfer Mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for suggestions and testing).
- Fixed a possible crash with inconsistent SI data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Fixed showing the replay mode if the OSD is currently in use (thanks to Kimmo
  Tykkala for pointing out this problem).
- cOsdProvider::NewOsd() now always returns a valid pointer, even if the OSD is
  currently in use (it will then return a dummy cOsd object and write a message to
  the log file).
- Added Estonian language texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed 'newplugin' and libsi/Makefile to use the compiler defined in $(CXX) for
  generating file dependencies (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Moved the initialization of aPid1 and aPid2 to the beginning of cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice()
  to have them set in case a patch references them (thanks to Wayne Keer for pointing
  this out).
- Completed the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov).
- Avoiding unnecessary section filter start/stops (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Made the "Channel not available!" message and mtInfo instead of mtError (suggested
  by Wayne Keer).
- Made volume control more linear (thanks to Emil Naepflein and Udo Richter).
- Now skipping code table info in SI data (suggested by Milos Kapoun).
- Added missing Czech characters to fontosd-iso8859-2.c (thanks to Milos Kapoun).
- Fixed a crash in the time search mechanism (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- If one PID can't be added, the whole cDevice::AttachReceiver() will now fail
  and all PIDs added so far will be deleted (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for
  pointing out this one).
- Now only saving channels.conf after a modification made by the user (avoids
  lots of disk access due to automatic channel updates). Automatic channel
  modifications will be saved every 10 minutes if no recording is currently
  active.
- Removed the 'Log' parameter from the cChannel::Set... functions. Instead
  checking if the channel has a non-zero number.
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Hannover (thanks to Sven Kreiensen).

b81bf2d1c9 Version 1.3.9
- Completed Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor).
- New iso8859-2 font to fix the problem with program freezes (thanks to Drazen Dupor).
- Implemented a default cRemote::Initialize() that waits 10 seconds for a keypress
  in order to prevent a "hangup" in case, e.g., the LIRC driver is not loaded (thanks
  to Helmut Auer).
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Hannover (thanks to Peter Waechtler).
- cBitmap::DrawBitmap() now also resets the palette if the entire bitmap area is
  covered (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt).
- Fixed setting the title in the replay display of the "Classic VDR" skin in case
  a shorter title is set after a longer one (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for
  reporting this one).
- Now using more separate areas in the "ST:TNG Panels" skin to allow a theme to
  use more independent clrMenu* colors.
- Fixed removing the "scanning recordings..." message in case the video directory
  is empty (thanks to Andreas Regel for reporting this one).
- Added SetMessage() functions to the Replay and Channel skin functions. Plugins
  that implement skins will need to implement these functions. This fixes a missing
  "Editing process finished" message (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this
  one).
- Fixed the height of the channel display in the "Classic VDR" skin.
- Fixed handling descriptor loops in 'libsi', which had sometimes caused invalid
  CA ids to be added to the channel definitions (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting
  this one, and Marcel Wiesweg for fixing it).
- Fixed handling colors in cDvbSpuPalette::yuv2rgb() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Made some functions of cFont virtual to allow implementing dummy fonts for the
  'curses' skin.
- The new plugin 'skincurses' re-implements the functionality that was previously
  available by compiling VDR with DEBUG_OSD. Some things may not yet work as they
  should, but it's a starting point.

c80a53ff6e Version 1.3.7
- Fixed a memory leak in thread handling when using NPTL (thanks to Jon Burgess).
- Fixed handling Setup.RecordDolbyDigital, which was broken since version 1.1.6.
- Fixed handling text lengths for itemized EPG texts (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Fixed the help for LSTE and LSTR (was broken in 1.3.6).
- Improved iso8859-7 fonts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Added some 3-letter language codes (thanks to Marcus Mönnig).
- Added language code handling to the subtitling descriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to
  Pekka Virtanen).
- Moved several menu item classes from menu.c to menuitems.[hc] to make them
  available for plugins.
- The epg2html.pl script now handles '|' in description texts.
- The new setup option "OSD/Use small font" can be used to control the use of
  the small font (see MANUAL for details).
- Swapped osd.[hc] and osdbase.[hc] to have the virtual OSD base class named cOsd.
  Plugins may need to adjust their #include statements.
- Colors are now given as AARRGGBB instead of AABBGGRR. The values are mapped to
  the driver's (wrong) sequence in dvbosd.c (this should really be fixed in the
  driver, together with the endian problem).
- The new OSD setup parameters "Left" and "Top" can be used to define the top left
  corner of the OSD.
- The OSD size parameters are now in pixel (as opposed to formerly characters).
  When reading a 'setup.conf' file from an older version of VDR, the OSDwidth
  and OSDheight values will be converted to pixel automatically.
- The OSD is now fully device independent. See the comments in VDR/osd.h and the
  description in PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement an OSD
  display on arbitrary hardware.
- The OSD (actually its cBitmap class) can now handle XPM files. There are several
  XPM files in the VDR/symbols directory which can be used by skins (some of these
  have been taken from the "elchi" patch). See VDR/skinsttng.c for examples on how
  to use these.
- Due to the changes in the OSD handling the DEBUG_OSD option for a textual OSD
  has been dropped. There will be a plugin that implements a skin with this
  functionality later.
- The entire OSD display can now be implemented via "skins". See VDR/skins.[hc],
  VDR/skinclassic.[hc], VDR/skinsttng.[hc] and PLUGINS.html for information on how
  a plugin can implement its own skin. By default VDR comes with a "Classic" skin
  that implements the OSD display known from previous versions, and the new skin
  named "ST:TNG Panels", which is also the default skin now. The actual skin can
  be selected through "Setup/OSD/Skin".
- The colors used in a skin can now be configured using "themes". See PLUGINS.html
  for information on how a skin can make use of themes, and man vdr(5) for the
  structure of a theme file. The actual theme to use can be selected through
  "Setup/OSD/Theme".
- Added Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor).
  NOTE: there is apparently a problem with the newly introduced iso8859-2 font,
  because as soon as Setup/OSD/Language is set to Croatian (currently the last one
  in the list) everything freezes and the vdr processes have to be killed with -9
  and the driver needs to be reloaded. Maybe somebody else can find out what's
  going wrong here...
- Added missing NULL checks when accessing sectionHandler in device.c (thanks to
  Pekka Virtanen).
- Fixed setting the time from the DVB data stream (thanks to Helmut Auer for
  pointing out a frequency/transponder handling mixup). This now also takes the
  actual source (sat, cable etc.) into account. Please go into "Setup/EPG" and
  set the "Set system time" and "Use time from transponder" parameters accordingly
  (this is necessary even if you have already set them before!).
