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.

*** PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN USING THIS DEVELOPER VERSION, ESPECIALLY
*** IF YOU ENABLE THE NEW SVDRP PEERING! KEEP BACKUPS OF ALL YOUR TIMERS
*** AND OBSERVE VERY CLOSELY WHETHER EVERYTHING WORKS AS EXPECTED. THIS
*** VERSION INTRODUCES SOME MAJOR CHANGES IN HANDLING GLOBAL LISTS AND
*** LOCKING, SO ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

The main focus of this developer version is on the new locking mechanism
for global lists, and the ability to handle remote timers.
Any plugins that access the global lists of timers, channels, schedules
or recordings, will need to be adjusted (see below for details). Please
do initial tests with plain vanilla VDR and just the output plugin you
need.

Known bugs/problems:

- After deleting the last recording in a sub folder, the cursor may not
   be positioned correctly.
- Instant recordings and pausing live video don't (yet) use the default
   SVDRP host for recording.

From the HISTORY file:
 - The new function cOsd::MaxPixmapSize() can be called to determine the maximum size
  a cPixmap may have on the current OSD. The 'osddemo' example has been modified
  accordingly. Plugin authors may want to use this function in case they use pixmaps
  that are larger than the full OSD size. The default implementation sets this limit
  to 2048x2048 pixel.
- The Setup/CAM menu now displays which device an individual CAM is currently
  assigned to (suggested by Frank Neumann).
- Added detection of 24fps (thanks to Thomas Reufer).
- Added a note about the VDR User Counter and VDR's facebook page to the README file.
- The dvbhddevice plugin is no longer part of the VDR source archive.
  You can get the latest version of this plugin from the author's repository at
  https://bitbucket.org/powARman/dvbhddevice.
- The dvbsddevice and rcu plugins are no longer part of the VDR source archive.
  You can get the latest versions of these plugins from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Plugins.
- Added a section about Output Devices to the INSTALL file.
- Fixed setting the source value of newly created channels, in case the NIT is
  received from a different, but very close satellite position (reported by Daniel
  Ribeiro). The code for handling different NITs has been removed from nit.c, because
  according to the DVB standard table id 0x40 carries only the NIT of the actual
  network.
- Added some comment to cPixmap about the relation between OSD, ViewPort and DrawPort
  (suggested by Thomas Reufer).
- Improved syncing on sections when parsing the NIT and SDT.
- Fixed scaling subtitles (their areas could sometimes extend outside the actual OSD).
- Reduced the priority of the "video directory scanner" thread (suggested by Thomas
  Reufer) and checking cIoThrottle::Engaged() when it is running.
- The script that gets called for recordings is now also called right before a
  recording is edited, with the first parameter being "editing" (suggested by
  Dieter Ferdinand).
- The new setup option "OSD/Default sort mode for recordings" can be used to define
  how recordings shall be sorted by default (either by time or by name, with "by time"
  being the default). If a particular sort mode has been selected for a folder by
  pressing '0', the default no longer applies to that folder. Repeating timers no
  longer write a ".sort" file into a recordings folder to have the recordings sorted
  by time.
- The command line option -D now accepts the value '-' (as in -D-), which prevents
  VDR from using any DVB devices (suggested by Dietmar Spingler).
- The -V and -h options now list the plugins in alphabetical order (suggested by
  Dietmar Spingler).
- Fixed a compiler warning in font.c.
- Commented out the line
  #define DEPRECATED_VIDEOSYSTEM
  in device.h. If a plugin doesn't compile with this version of VDR, you can uncomment
  this line as a quick workaround. In the long run the plugin will need to be adapted.
- The function cOsd::GetBitmap() is now 'protected'. If a plugin doesn't compile with
  this version of VDR, you can uncomment the line
  //#define DEPRECATED_GETBITMAP
  in osd.h as a quick workaround. In the long run the plugin will need to be adapted.
- The -u option now also accepts a numerical user id (suggested by Derek Kelly).
- The SVDRP port now accepts multiple concurrent connections. You can now keep an
  SVDRP connection open as long as you wish, without preventing others from
  connecting. Note, though, that SVDRP connections still get closed automatically
  if there has been no activity for 300 seconds (configurable via
  "Setup/Miscellaneous/SVDRP timeout (s)").
- The SVDRP log messages have been unified and now always contain the IP and port
  number of the remote host.
- SVDRP connections are now handled in a separate "SVDRP server handler" thread,
  which makes them more responsive. Note that there is only one thread that handles
  all concurrent SVDRP connections. That way each SVDRP command is guaranteed to be
  processed separately, without interfering with any other SVDRP commands that might
  be issued at the same time. Plugins that implement SVDRP commands may need to take
  care of proper locking if the commands access global data.
- VDR now sends out a broadcast to port 6419/udp, which was assigned to 'svdrp-disc'
  by the IANA. VDRs listening on that port will automatically initiate an SVDRP
  connection to the broadcasting VDR, and in turn send out a broadcast to make
  other VDRs connect to them. That way all VDRs within the local network will
  have permanent "peer-to-peer" SVDRP connections between each other. The
  configuration in the svdrphosts.conf file is taken into account when considering
  whether or not to respond to an SVDRP discover broadcast.
- The new SVDRP command PING is used by automatically established peer-to-peer
  connections to keep them alive.
- The new function GetSVDRPServerNames() can be used to get a list of all VDRs
  this VDR is connected to via SVDRP.
- The new function ExecSVDRPCommand() can be used to execute an SVDRP command on
  one of the servers this VDR is connected to, and retrieve the result.
  The helper functions SVDRPCode() and SVDRPValue() can be used to easily access
  the codes and values returned by ExecSVDRPCommand().
- The cTimer class now has a new member named 'remote', which holds the name of the
  remote server this timer will record on. If this is NULL, it is a local timer.
- Timers from other VDRs that are connected to this VDR via SVDRP are now
  automatically fetched and stored in the global Timers list. In order for this
  to work, all of the channels used by timers on the remote VDR must also be
  defined on the local VDR (however, not necessarily in the same sequence).
  Automatic channel syncing will be implemented later.
- The main menu of the LCARS skin now displays a small rectangle on the left side
  of a timer if this is a remote timer. The color of that rectangle changes if
  the timer is currently recording on the remote VDR.
- Accessing the global Timers list now has to be protected by proper locking,
  because SVDRP commands are now executed in a separate thread.
  The introduction of this locking mechanism required the following changes:
  + The new classes cStateLock and cStateKey are used to implement locking
    with quick detection of state changes.
  + cConfig::cConfig() now has a parameter that indicates whether this list
    requires locking.
  + The global lists of Timers, Channels, Schedules and Recordings are no longer
    static variables. They are now pointers that need to be retrieved through
    a call to cTimers::GetTimersRead/Write(), cChannels::GetChannelsRead/Write(),
    cSchedules::GetSchedulesRead/Write() and cRecordings::GetRecordingsRead/Write(),
    respectively.
  + References from/to link channels are now removed in cChannels::Del() rather
    than cChannel::~cChannel(), to make sure the caller holds a proper lock.
  + cChannel::HasTimer() has been removed. This information is now retrieved
    via cSchedule::HasTimer().
  + Several member functions of cChannel, cTimer, cMarks and cRecording have
    been made 'const', and some of them are now available as both 'const' and
    'non-const' versions.
  + The cChannel::Set...() functions are now 'bool' and return true if they have
    actually changed any of the channels's members.
  + cChannels::SetModified() has been renamed to cChannels::SetModifiedByUser().
  + cChannels::Modified() has been renamed to cChannels::ModifiedByUser(), and
    now has a 'State' parameter that allows the caller to see whether a channel
    has been modified since the last call to this function with the same State
    variable.
  + The macros CHANNELSMOD_NONE/_AUTO/_USER have been removed.
  + cMarks now requires locking via cStateKey.
  + cSortedTimers now requires a pointer to the list of timers.
  + cEvent::HasTimer() no longer scans the list of timers to check whether an event
    is referenced by a timer, but rather keeps score of how many timers reference
    it. This was necessary in order to avoid having to lock the list of timers from
    within a cEvent.
  + The new class cListGarbageCollector is used to temporary store any objects deleted
    from cLists that require locking. This allows pointers to such objects to be
    dereferenced even if the objects are no longer part of the list.
  + cListBase::Contains() can be used to check whether a particular object is still
    contained in that list.
  + Outdated events are no longer "phased out", but rather deleted right away and thus
    taken care of by the new "garbage collector" of the list.
  + Deleted cRecording objects are no longer kept in a list of "vanished" recordings,
    but are rather taken care of by the new "garbage collector" of the list.
  + cSchedules::ClearAll() has been removed. The functionality is now implemented
    directly in cSVDRPServer::CmdCLRE().
  + tEventID has been changed to u_int16_t in order to make room for the new member
    numTimers in cEvent.
  + cSchedule now has a member Modified(), which can be used with a State variable
    to quickly determine whether this schedule has been modified since the last call
    to this function with the same State variable.
  + cSchedulesLock has been removed. Locking the list of schedules is now done via
    the cList's new locking mechanism.
  + The 'OnlyRunningStatus' parameters in cEpgHandler::BeginSegmentTransfer() and
    cEpgHandler::EndSegmentTransfer() are now obsolete. They are still present in
    the interface for backward compatibility, but may be removed in a future version.
    Their value is always 'false'.
  + The constant tcMod is no longer used in cStatus::TimerChange(). The definition is
    still there for backward compatibility.
  Plugins that access the global lists of Timers, Channels, Recordings or Schedules
  will need to be adapted as follows:
  + Instead of directly accessing the global variables Timers, Channels or Recordings,
    they need to set up a cStateKey variable and call the proper getter function,
    as in
      cStateKey StateKey;
      if (const cTimers *Timers = cTimers::GetTimersRead(StateKey)) {
         // access the timers
         StateKey.Remove();
         }
    and
      cStateKey StateKey;
      if (cTimers *Timers = cTimers::GetTimersWrite(StateKey)) {
         // access the timers
         StateKey.Remove();
         }
    See timers.h, thread.h and tools.h for details on this new locking mechanism.
  + There are convenience macros for easily accessing these lists without having
    to explicitly set up a cStateKey and calling its Remove() function. These macros
    have the form LOCK_*_READ/WRITE (with '*' being TIMERS, CHANNELS, SCHEDULES or
    RECORDINGS). Simply put such a macro before the point where you need to access
    the respective list, and there will be a pointer named Timers, Channels, Schedules
    or Recordings, respectively, which is valid until the end of the current block.
  + If a plugin needs to access several of the global lists in parallel, locking must
    always be done in the sequence Timers, Channels, Recordings, Schedules. This is
    necessary to make sure that different threads that need to lock several lists at
    the same time don't end up in a deadlock.
  + Some pointer variables may need to be made 'const'. The compiler will tell you
    about these.
- cSectionSyncer has been improved to better handle missed sections.
- Added a missing initialization of 'seen' in cChannel's copy constructor.
- Background modifications of channels, timers and events are now displayed immediately
  in the corresponding menus.
- cEIT now checks the version of the tables before doing any processing, which saves
  a lot of locking and processing.
- If a timer is newly created with the Red button in the Schedule menu, and the timer
  is presented to the user in the "Edit timer" menu because it will start immediately,
  it now *must* be confirmed with "Ok" to set the timer. Otherwise the timer will not
  be created.
- Recordings and deleted recordings are now scanned in a single thread.
- The new SVDRP command POLL is used by automatically established peer-to-peer
  connections to trigger fetching remote timers.
- You can now set DumpSVDRPDataTransfer in svdrp.c to true to have all SVDRP
  communication printed to the console for debugging.
- Added a missing 'const' to cReceiver::Receive(), to protect the given Data from
  being modified.
- The SVDRP commands that deal with timers (DELT, LSTT, MODT, NEWT, NEXT and UPDT)
  as well as any log messages that refer to timers, now use a unique id for each
  timer, which remains valid as long as this instance of VDR is running. This means
  that timers are no longer continuously numbered from 1 to N in LSTT. There may be
  gaps in the sequence, in case timers have been deleted.
- The Timers menu now displays the name of the remote VDR in front of the timer's
  file name, if this is a remote timer.
- The new options "Setup/Miscellaneous/SVDRP peering", ".../SVDRP host name" and
  ".../SVDRP default host" can be used to configure automatic peering between VDRs
  in the same network. Peering is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting
  "SVDRP peering" to "yes".
- The function cTimer::ToText() no longer returns a newline character at the end of
  the string. The newline is now added by the caller as necessary. This was changed
  because cTimer::ToText() is now also needed in a context where the terminating
  newline can't be used. Consequently, cChannel::ToText() and cMark::ToText() have
  been modified accordingly.
- All timer related response strings from SVDRP commands now use the channel ID
  instead of channel numbers.
- The "Edit timer" menu now has a new parameter "Record on", which can be used to
  select the VDR on which this timer shall record. Timers can be freely moved
  between connected VDRs by simply selecting the desired machine in this field.
- The SVDRP command DELT no longer checks whether the timer that shall be deleted
  is currently recording.
- The character 0x0D is now stripped from EPG texts (reported by Janne Pänkälä).
- The EPG scanner no longer moves the dish if there is a positioner.
- The 'newplugin' script now creates the 'po' subdirectory for translations (thanks
  to Thomas Reufer).
- Skins can now implement cSkinDisplayMenu::MenuOrientation() to display horizontal
  menus (thanks to Stefan Braun).
- Fixed a possible stack overflow in cListBase::Sort() (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Changed the description of the --chartab option in the INSTALL file to refer to
  "DVB SI table strings" instead of "EPG data".
- The width and height of the OSD are now limited to the actual maximum dimensions
  of the output device, taking into account the top and left offset.
- The new setup option "Recording/Record key handling" can be used to define
  what happens if the Record key on the remote control is pressed during
  live tv (suggested by Dietmar Spingler).
- Empty adaptation field TS packets are now skipped when recording (thanks to
  Christopher Reimer, based on the "AFFcleaner" by Stefan Pöschel).

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.

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).

c37734080c Version 1.3.41
- EPG events from epg.data or SVDRP's PUTE command now have their Title set to
  "No Title" if none was set.
- Fixed checking toFile in cCuttingThread::Action() (found in a larger patch from
  Artur Skawina).
- Fixed a crash when pressing '0' in the "Schedule" menu on a channel that doesn't
  have any EPG data (reported ny Alexander Hans).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Fixed a missing ',' in the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed handling the tfRecording flag when reading timers (bug reported by Andreas
  Mair).
- Now checking whether the channel exists before setting the PMT filter in
  cPatFilter::Process() (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl).
- Now trying to reestablish the connection to the LIRC daemon in case it breaks
  (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed channel switching with the Down (Up) key in case the current channel is
  already the first (last) in the list (reported by Frank Krömmelbein).
- Removed the "buffer reserve" in Transfer Mode - it's no longer necessary with
  recent driver/firmware versions.
- The epg.data file is now written when VDR exits (suggested by Daniel Karsubka).
- Fixed cTimers::GetNextActiveTimer() so that it won't return an expired timer
  (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Changed DVBS_TUNE_TIMEOUT and DVBC_TUNE_TIMEOUT to 9000ms to avoid problems with
  channels that have low symbol rates (reported by Suur Karu).
- Fixed displaying the current audio track in the channel display.
- When reading epg.data (or data from PUTE), the version number of events with
  table IDs smaller than 0x50 is now ignored because otherwise the current
  running status would not be set after a restart of VDR.
- Implemented a timeout for remote controls that don't deliver "repeat" keypresses
  very fast (based on a suggestion by Luca Olivetti; problem with the new handling
  of k_Repeat keypresses in channel switching reported by Udo Richter).
- When looking for the present or following EPG event, the running status is now
  always taken into account.
- Now initializing the channels' schedule pointers when reading the epg.data file,
  so that the first WhatsOn menu will come up faster.
- If a shutdown is requested, but the shutdown script doesn't actually halt the
  system, it is now tried again after 5 minutes (suggested by Helmut Auer).
- Separated the 'install' target into several individual targets; renamed the
  'plugins-install' target to 'install-plugins' (thanks to Helmut Auer).

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).

- The CAM is now accessed only if the current channel actually has a non-zero Ca
  value, and CAM access is completely suppressed during replay, which avoids
  problems in case the CAM is attached to the primary DVB device.
- The "Left" and "Right" buttons now set the cursor to the first or last list item
  even if the list consist only of a single page, like, for instance, the Main menu
  (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Made the log message "OSD window width must be a multiple of 4..." a debug message
  instead of an error message, so it can be avoided by using a log level less than 3.
- Updated Greek language texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Fixed faulty behaviour of the "Mute" key in case the channel display is visible
  (thanks to Florian Bartels for reporting this one and Sascha Volkenandt for
  helping to fix it).
- Modified LOF handling to allow for C-band reception (thanks to Malcolm Caldwell).
- Added some missing cAudio handling calls (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Replaced the 'for' loops in StripAudioPackets() with memset() calls (thanks to
  Werner Fink).
- Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be
  written.
- Fixed a crash in case the index file can't be accessed any more during replay
  (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).
- Fixed displaying messages in the status line in case they exceed the OSD width
  (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one).
- Avoiding high CPU load in case the connection to LIRC gets lost (thanks to
  Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed handling repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed handling min/max borders when entering integer values (thanks to Andy
  Grobb for reporting this one).
- Implemented a "resume ID" which allows several users to each have their own
  resume.vdr files (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). This parameter can be set in
  the "Setup/Replay" menu (see MANUAL for details).
- Now using 'libdtv' version 0.0.5 (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for the new version
  and Stefan Huelswitt for adapting VDR to it).
- If no device with an MPEG decoder can be found at startup, the first device
  is now used as primary device (just to have some device).
- Adjusted some Premiere channels in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Thomas Koch).
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt).
- The 'epg.data' file is now read after all plugins have been started (thanks
  to Sascha Volkenandt).
- The LIRC remote control no longer tries to learn keys if it can't connect to
  the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for reporting this one). The same
  applies to the RCU remote control in case of errors during startup.
- Fixed handling of Ca parameters with values <= MAXDEVICES, which don't indicate
  an actual encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).

- Fixed an incomplete initialization of the filter parameters in eit.c (thanks
  to Jeremy Hall).
- Fixed the 'newplugin' script for use with the NEWSTRUCT driver (thanks to
  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.
