- Changed thread handling to make it work with NPTL ("Native Posix Thread Library").
  Thanks to Jon Burgess, Andreas Schultz, Werner Fink and Stefan Huelswitt.
- The cThread class now accepts a 'Description' parameter, which is used to log
  the beginning and end of the thread, together with its process and thread id.
  For descriptions that need additional parameters you can use the function
  cThread::SetDescription(), which accepts 'printf()' like arguments.
  Existing plugins that use threads should be changed to use this functionality
  instead of explicit 'dsyslog()' calls inside their Action() function in order
  to support logging the thread ids.
- Added "Slovak Link" and "Czech Link" to 'ca.conf' (thanks to Emil Petersky).
  However, 'ca.conf' is now pretty much obsolete due to the automatic CA handling.
- Mutexes are now created with PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP, which makes the
  'lockingTid' stuff obsolete (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Changed font handling to allow language specific character sets.
- Adopted the small font character set from the "Elchi" patch (originally
  provided by Alessio Sangalli).
- Greek language texts now use iso8859-7 character set (thanks to Dimitrios
  Dimitrakos).
- Rearranged section data handling, so that the actual data handling can be done
  separately, even from within plugins.
- The EPG data structures have been moved from eit.[hc] to epg.[hc] and have been
  adapted to the general VDR coding style. Plugins that use these data structures
  may need to change some function names (which should be obvious).
  The name 'subtitle' has been changed to 'shortText' to avoid clashes with actual
  subtitles that are part of a movie. The name 'extendedDescription' has been
  shortened to 'description'.
- Replaced 'libdtv' with 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg), which is thread
  safe and can be used by multiple section filters simultaneously.
- Added 'cRwLock' to 'thread.[hc]'. Note that all plugin Makefiles need to
  define _GNU_SOURCE for this to work (see the example plugin Makefiles and
  'newplugin').
- Fixed a problem with crc32 in SI handling on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro
  Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one).
- Fixed an alignment problem in CAM access on 64bit systems  (thanks to Pedro
  Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one).
- Added 'StreamType' setting to CAM communication, which is important for
  Aston/SECA CAMs (thanks to Antonino Sergi).
- Now the CA descriptors are sent to the CAM in the 'program' or 'ES level'
  sections, depending on where they are found in the PMT (thanks to Hans-Peter
  Raschke for reporting this one). This should make SkyCrypt CAMs work.
- Now using the 'version number' of EPG events to avoid unnecessary work.
- Channel data is now automatically derived from the DVB data stream (inspired
  by the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz).
- The current channel is now automatically re-tuned if the PIDs or other settings
  change. If a recording is going on on a channel that has a change in its
  settings, the recording will be stopped and immediately restarted to use the
  new channel settings.
- EPG events now use the complete channel ID with NID, TID and SID.
- Channel names in 'channels.conf' can now have a short form, as provided
  by some tv stations (see man vdr(5)). Currently channels that provide short
  names in addition to long ones are listed in the OSD as "short,long name",
  as in "RTL,RTL Television". The short names will be used explicitly later.
- The Ca parameter in 'channels.conf' has been extended and now contains all the
  CA system ids for the given channel. When switching to a channel VDR now tests
  for a device that provides one of these CA system ids. The devices automatically
  get their supported ids from the CI handler.
- The values in 'ca.conf' are currently without any real meaning. Whether or not
  a channel with conditional access can be received is now determined automatically
  by evaluating its CA descriptors and comparing them to the CA system ids
  provided by the installed CAM. Only the special values 1-16 are used to assign
  a channel to a particular device.
- Increased the maximum number of possible OSD colors to 256.
- Limited the line length in the EPG bugfix report, which appears to fix a buffer
  overflow that caused a crash when cleaning up the EPG data (at 05:00 in the
  morning).

0b283547ac Version 1.2.6pre6
- Fixed handling Priority -1 in cDvbDevice::ProvidesChannel() (thanks to
  Torsten Herz).
- Fixed processing EPG data in case there is no title (thanks to Torsten Herz).

17c5b4169e Version 1.2.6pre5
- Added cDevice::GetSTC() (suggested by Sven Goethel).
- Added Asia-Pacific satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Richard Scobie).
- Added North American satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Luke Jenkins).
- Fixed getting the list of recordings in case VDR is started from a directory
  where it doesn't have access to (thanks to Dirk Mueller).

c84022554a Version 1.1.31
- Introduced the new function cPlugin::Initialize(), in order to be able to separate
  the startup of a plugin into an "early" (Initialize()) and "late" (Start()) phase
  (suggested by Andreas Schultz). Plugin authors should please read the section
  about "Getting started" in PLUGINS.html and adapt their code if applicable.
- Implemented the CableDeliverySystemDescriptor and TerrestrialDeliverySystemDescriptor
  in libdtv (thanks to Sven Grothklags and Andreas Schultz).
- Fixed keeping live video active in case the primary device doesn't have an MPEG
  decoder (thanks to Wolfgang Goeller for reporting this one).
- Implemented cDevice::ActualDevice(), which returns the actual receiving device in
  case of 'Transfer Mode', or the primary device otherwise. This may be useful for
  plugins that want to attach a cReceiver to the device where the current live video
  is actually coming from.
- Added VDRVERSNUM to config.h, which can be used by the preprocessor to check the
  actual VDR version (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Removed the WaitForPut/WaitForGet stuff from cRingBuffer, since it appears to
  no longer be necessary due to the implementation of cNonBlockingFileReader in
  dvbplayer.c. Also, the long timeout in WaitForPut caused problems with cReceivers
  that use a ring buffer and didn't immediately return from their Receive() function
  if the buffer runs full (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling EPG data where the "extended event descriptor" comes before the
  "short event" or a "time shifted event" (thanks to Jonan Santiago).
- Disabled the "Received stuffing section in EIT" log message.
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Juri Haberland).
- Avoiding short display of the "Main" menu when pressing the "Recordings" button
  or the "Back" button during replay.
- Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be
  written.
- Implemented separate PausePriority and PauseLifetime parameters for the recordings
  created when pausing live video (suggested by Alfred Zastrow).
- Changed C++ style comments in libdtv into C style to avoid warnings in gcc 3.x
  (thanks to Andreas Schultz).

48fd2b04e9 Version 1.1.20
- Now checking if there is a connection to the keyboard (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti)
  and only creating the KBD remote control if VDR is running in the foreground.
- Fixed taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown (thanks
  to Gregoire Favre for reporting this one).
- Changed setting of CXX and CXXFLAGS variables in Makefile, so that an externally
  defined value will be taken if present (suggested by Robert Schiele).
  Plugin authors should please change the lines

  CXX      = g++
  CXXFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual

  in their Makefile to

  CXX      ?= g++
  CXXFLAGS ?= -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual

- Fixed recording overlapping timers on the same channel in case
  DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and/or DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS is not defined
  (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti).
- No longer stopping/restarting the DMX when switching audio channels (thanks to
  Sven Goethel).
- Fixed high CPU load in 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- If a PC keyboard is used as remote control, the string entry fields in the
  menus now accept character input directly (however, this works only for keys that
  are not otherwise defined as remote control keys). Also, plugins can switch the
  cKbdRemote class into "raw mode", where all keyboard input will be made available
  through the new 'kKbd' key code and none of it will be processed as normal remote
  control functions (thanks to Jan Rieger for suggestions and testing).
- Fixed deleting characters in string entry fields in 'insert' mode.
- Now using "Doxygen" to generate source documentation (thanks to Walter Stroebel
  for providing an initial 'Doxyfile' configuration and adjusting some comments).
  See INSTALL for information how to do this. Some function descriptions have
  already been adapted to Doxygen, more will follow.

96ebdbf4b1 Version 1.1.18
- Fixed missing initialization of 'number' in cChannel (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid
  for reporting this one).
- Fixed a misplaced ')' in the fix about the stale lock files (thanks again to
  Oliver Endriss for pointing this out - it was my fault).
- Group delimiters in the 'channels.conf' file that have no text (like a simple ":"
  or ":@201") no longer show up in the Channels menu (suggested by Guy Roussin).
- Added "Tele 5" to 'channels.conf' (thanks to Georg Hitsch).
- Changed the source directory name for plugins from 'SRC' to 'src' (suggested by
  Clemens Kirchgatterer).
- Removed transponders 10788, 11739 and 12266 from 'channels.conf' (apparently they
  are no longer active).
- Deactivated some templates in tools.h in case some plugin needs to use the STL
  (suggested by Gerald Berwolf).
- Timers now accept channel IDs even if the 'source' is 0 (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt
  for reporting this one).
- Now taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown or
  housekeeping (suggested by Emil Naepflein).
- Macros in 'keymacros.conf' can now use "@plugin" to directly access the main menu
  function of a given plugin (see man vdr(5) for details).
- The new plugin 'sky' can be used to integrate a Sky Digibox into the VDR system,
  using a Kfir MPEG2 encoder card (see PLUGINS/src/sky/README for details).

fe9499ba90 Version 1.1.17
- Added new entries to 'ca.conf'.
- Fixed closing unused PID handles (thanks to Stefan Schluenss for reporting this
  one).
- Added more examples to 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed disabling multiple recordings on a single DVB card (comment out the definition
  of the macros DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS in
  dvbdevice.c).
- Plugins can now have their very own OSD setup in the object they return from
  a call to cPlugin::MainMenuAction(). In order to implement this, the return type
  of cPlugin::MainMenuAction() had to be changed from (cOsdMenu *) to (cOsdObject *).
  So in case you are compiling an existing plugin with this version of VDR and you
  get an error message, simply change cOsdMenu to cOsdObject in the plugin's source
  for the MainMenuAction() function.
  Plugin authors who have so far (ab)used the cControl mechanism to implement their
  own raw OSD should take a look at the new demo plugin 'osddemo'. It implements
  a very primitive game that shows how a plugin can have its own raw OSD. Especially
  look into cLineGame and see how it implements the Show() function. See also
  the chapter on "User interaction" in PLUGINS.html.
- Added three new fields to the lines in 'channels.conf': NID, TID and RID. NID and
  TID are the Network and Transport Stream IDs, respectively. RID is an additional ID
  that can be used to tell apart channels that would otherwise be indistinguishable.
  This is typically the case with radio channels, which may have the same NID, TID
  and SID, but different "radio IDs". This new field is therefore called RID ("radio
  ID"). Currently NID and TID are not yet used by VDR and should always be 0. The
  RID is actually used when building the "unique channel ID", so if you have channels
  in your 'channels.conf' file that cause error messages when loading, you can set
  the RIDs of these channels to different values.
  When reading an old 'channels.conf' these new fields will be automatically
  initialized to 0 and once the file is written back to disk they will be appended
  to the channel definitions.
  Thanks to Régis Bossut for pointing out that with some providers the channels can
  only be distinguished through the RID.
- The "unique channel ID" now contains an optional 5th part (the RID). See man vdr(5).
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' and made some channels unique using the new RID
  (thanks to Andreas Kool for pointing out the problems).
- Made some channels unique in 'channels.conf.terr' using the new RID.
- Extended the '-l' option to allow logging to LOG_LOCALn (n=0..7) by writing, for
  instance, '-l 3.7' (suggested by Jürgen Schmidt).
- Now deleting stale lock files if they have a time stamp that is outside the window
  'now +/- LOCKFILESTALETIME'. This improves things in cases where the system time
  makes far jumps, so that a lock file might end up with a time stamp that lies
  in the distant future (thanks to Oliver Endriss).

1a8a081629 Version 1.1.15
- Completely switched to the new CVS HEAD version of the linux-dvb driver.
  The NEWSTRUCT compile time switch is now obsolete. The required driver is now
  the CVS HEAD version dated 2002-11-01 or later.
- Adjusted the INSTALL file to the 1.1.x version.
- Only accepting key presses from the current remote control when learning (thanks to
  Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed the EPG scanner, which broke 'Transfer Mode' as soon as it kicked in
  (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling audio tracks in cDvbDevice.
- Updated channels.conf.terr (thanks to Uwe Scheffler).
- Fixed displaying the group separators in the channel display (thanks to Martin
  Hammerschmid for pointing out this one).
- The Makefile now includes the file Make.config (if present in the VDR source
  directory), which allows the user to overwrite several settings with individual
  values (suggested by Andreas Schultz). The VDR distribution archive does not
  contain this file in order to not overwrite a user defined file. There is a
  Make.config.template which contains the default values of the macros the user
  can overwrite.
- Since there have been changes to the 'newplugin' script authors of plugins
  may want to newly create their plugins' Makefiles with the new version of this
  script, and adapt them to their individual needs (make sure you don't overwrite
  your existing plugin directory - make a backup copy first!).
- Fixed reading EPG data via the SVDRP command PUTE (it changed the current
  service ID).
- Fixed closing all dup'ed file descriptors in cPipe.
- Implemented a plugin interface for additional audio processing (see PLUGINS.html
  under "Dolby Digital").
  The functionality of the '-a' command line option has been reactivated.
  Since the author doesn't have any Dolby Digital equipment this may or may not
  work as expected. There may still be some places where a call to cAudios::Clear()
  or cAudios::Mute() is necessary. Those with Dolby Digital equipment should please
  take a look at this and maybe send patches.
  Replaying Dolby Digital in ways other than through VDR's '-a' option will have to
  be implemented as plugins. Those who have written patches for VDR version 1.0.x
  should convert their work into the proper plugins for version 1.1.x.
  Note to authors of cPlayer derived plugins: please read the modified comments
  in device.h regarding the member functions cDevice::Clear(), cDevice::Mute() and
  cDevice::PlayAudio(). Derived classes must call these base class member functions
  to make sure all registered cAudio objects are properly handled. Also note that
  the return type of cDevice::PlayAudio() has been changed to 'void', since this
  function always has to accept the entire data block immediately and there is
  nothing that could be reasonably done in case an error occurs in one of the
  cAudio objects.
- Now checking the driver's DVB_API_VERSION in dvbdevice.h. Since VDR now requires
  a driver dated 2002-11-01 or later the MIN_DVB_DRIVER_VERSION_FOR_TIMESHIFT and
  DVB_DRIVER_VERSION stuff has been replaced with DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE,
  which can be used to disable simultaneous recording and replaying on the primary
  DVB device in case there are problems with this.

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

d08073815d Version 1.1.11
- Fixed an incomplete initialization of the filter parameters in eit.c (thanks
  to Jeremy Hall).

  Andreas Schultz for reporting this one). If you have already created a plugin
  directory and Makefile with 'newplugin', please apply the following patch to it:

   ### The object files (add further files here):
  -------------------------------------------------------

  This is the diff for the 'setup' example that comes with VDR, so your line
  numbers may be different.
- Added a missing 'public' keyword in device.h (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid).
- Fixed a race condition when starting 'Transfer Mode'.
- Rearranged the remote control key handling to allow plugins to implement
  additional types of remote controls (see PLUGINS.html, section "Remote Control").
  The previously used files 'keys.conf' and 'keys-pc.conf' have been replaced
  by the file 'remote.conf', which holds the key definitions of all remote controls.
- The LIRC remote control keys are now handled just like the keyboard and RCU keys.
  This means that you can use the lircd.conf file as is for your remote control,
  without the need of editing it to make the key names the same as used in VDR.
  When first starting VDR it will go into the "Learning keys" mode and ask you
  to press the various keys. The resulting key assignment will be stored in
  the file 'remote.conf'.
  Since I have no way of testing the LIRC support, I hope I didn't break it in
  the process...
- While learning the remote control keys it is now possible to press the 'Menu'
  key to skip the definition of keys that are not available on your particular
  RC unit.
- Fixed handling DVD subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Avoiding restarts due to 'panic level' when switching channels on the primary
  device during EPG scan.

523c4a07aa Version 1.1.9
- Fixed the 'newplugin' script to make it name the target for creating the
  distribution package 'dist', as stated in the PLUGINS.html documentation.
  If you have already created a plugin source directory and Makefile you may
  want to check it and replace the 'package' target with 'dist' if necessary.
- Changed device handling for being able to do simultaneous recording and
  replay on the same device (Time Shifting). In order for this to work you need
  to use a driver with a firmware version that has this feature implemented.
- cDevice::ProvidesCa() is no longer virtual. The new function
  cDevice::ProvidesChannel() is now used to determine whether a device can
  receive a given channel, and by default this function returns false. So a
  device that is a pure replaying device doesn't need to do anything here.
- Increased the recorder buffer size to 5MB in order to be able to better handle
  multiple recordings.
- Implemented cTSBuffer for better handling TS packet buffering in derived
  cDevice classes.
- Changed the interface if cDevice::GetTSPacket() to avoid unnecessary copying
  of data.
- Removed cDevice::Channel(), since this makes no more sense with devices
  receiving multiple channels.
- Switching through channels with the 'Up' and 'Down' keys now skips channels
  that are currently not available (for instance because all devices are
  recording and these channels are on different transponders).
- Implemented an SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Fixed a crash when entering an integer value outside the limits (thanks to
  Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).
- Added play mode pmAudioOnlyBlack (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).

f06d2c27fc Version 1.1.3
- Improved the VDR Makefile to avoid a warning if the '.dependencies' file does
  not exist, and also using $(MAKE) to call recursive makes.
- Changed the name of the 'package' target in the plugin Makefiles to 'dist'
  (following the suggestions in the "GNU Make" manual). If you already have started
  a plugin project, you may want to change this in your Makefile accordingly.
- Improved the plugin Makefile to avoid a warning if the '.dependencies' file does
  not exist, and also using $(shell...) to get the version numbers. If you already have
  started a plugin project, you may want to change this in your Makefile accordingly.
- Fixed some function headers to make them compile with gcc 3.x (thanks to
  Gregoire Favre).
- Fixed the cutting mechanism to make it re-sync in case a frame is larger than the
  buffer (thanks to Sven Grothklags).
- Added an error message if the directory specified in the '-L' option can't be
  accessed (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Rearranged OSD class names to make 'cOsd' available for the main OSD interface.
- Completely moved OSD handling out of the cDvbApi class, into the new cOsd.
- Implemented cStatus to allow plugins to set up a status monitor.
  See PLUGINS.html for details.
- Moved the cEITScanner out of dvbapi.h/.c, into the new eitscan.h/.c.
- Added Swedish language texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil).
- Fixed parsing 'E' records in epg2html.pl (thanks to Matthias Fechner for pointing
  out this one).
- Removed compiler option '-m486' to make it work on non-Intel platforms. If you
  have already started a plugin project, you may want to make sure you remove this
  option from your existing Makefile.
- Completely rearranged the recording and replay functions to make them available
  to plugins.
- Replay is now done in a single thread (no more syncing between input and output
  thread necessary).
- It is now possible to record several channels on the same transponder with "budget
  cards". VDR automatically attaches a recording timer to a card that already
  records on the appropriate transponder. How many parallel recordings can actually
  be done depends on the computer's performance. Currently any number of recordings
  gets attached to a card, so you should carefully plan your timers to not exceed
  the limit. On a K6-II/450 it was possible to record three channels from transponder
  12480 with a single WinTV NOVA-S.
- Timers that record two successive shows on the same channel may now overlap and
  will use the same DVB card. During the time where both timers record the data
  is simply saved to both files.
- The following limitations apply to this version:
  + Transfer mode doesn't work yet.
  + The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet.
  + Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet.
  + Cutting doesn't work yet.

d07e3829f7 Version 1.1.2
- Changed the cPlugin::Start() function to return a boolean value that indicates
  if the plugin will not be able to perform its task (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Added the cPlugin::Housekeeping() function (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Updated channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler).
- Added 'insert' capabilities to cList (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Changed the 'package' target in the plugin's Makefile to produce a package that
  expands to a directory with just the plugin name and version number (suggested
  by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Made the config directory available to plugins (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
  See PLUGINS.html, section "Configuration files" for details.
- Improved the [eid]syslog() macros, so that the LOG_... macros don't need to be
  given any more.

ae8a947367 Version 1.1.0
- Begin of the 1.1 development branch. THIS IS NOT A STABLE VERSION!
  The current stable version for every day use is still the 1.0 branch.
- First step towards a universal plugin interface. See the file PLUGINS.html
  for a detailed description. The man page vdr(1) describes the new options '-L'
  and '-P' used to load plugins. This first step implements the complete "outer"
  shell for plugins. The "inner" access to VDR data structures will follow.
- The VDR version number is now displayed in the title line of the "Setup" menu.
