- Added a missing reset of maxNumber in cChannels::Renumber() (reported by Sundararaj Reel). - Revoked the fixed change of the default character set for SI data and introduced an environment variable to control it (thanks to Ales Jurik for reporting broken SI data on the Czech/Slovak channels, which actually do follow the standard). Users who want to set the default character set to something different can do this by setting the environment variable VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE to something like ISO-8859-9. - Fixed a signed character used as index in cBase64Encoder::NextLine() (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Updated the Spanish and Catalanian OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti). - Fixed automatically selecting the preferred subtitle language (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Michael Rakowski). - Fixed formatting the name section in the VDR man pages (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Magnus Andersson). - Added Russian translations to the 'skincurses' and 'pictures' plugins (thanks to Alexander Gross). - Fixed displaying the free disk space when entering the recordings menu where the last replayed recording was in a subdirectory, and pressing Back (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed tuning to a live channel after a recording has been stopped using the 'Back' key. - Resetting a timer's 'pending' flag when it has ended.
Video Disk Recorder ('VDR')
---------------------------
These files contain the source code of the "Video Disk Recorder",
which is based on the DVB driver of the LinuxTV project (http://linuxtv.org).
For details about the "Video Disk Recorder" project please
refer to http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr.
There is also a remote control unit described on those
Web pages, which can be used within this program.
Please see the INSTALL file for details on how to install
this program on your computer.
The MANUAL file describes how to operate the VDR.
The CONTRIBUTORS file lists all the people who have contributed to the
development of VDR.

Yet another "set-top box"?
--------------------------
The "set-top boxes" available from commercial companies all have
one major drawback: they are not "open". This project's goal is
to build an "open" digital satellite receiver and timer controlled
video disk recorder, based upon open standards and freely available
driver software (of course, the hardware still has to be bought).
The on screen menu system is simple, but shall provide all the
possibilities necessary to perform timer controlled recording,
file management and even "on disk editing". The menus
of commercial set-top boxes usually are a lot more fancy than
the ones in this system, but here we have the full source code
and can modify the menus in whatever way desired.
