- Fixed a buffer overflow in initializing the system character table (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed handling single byte characters >0x7F in Utf8ToArray() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Improved numdigits(), isnumber() and strreplace() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Fixed clearing color buttons in the 'curses' skin (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed a typo in the function name of cOsd::SetOsdPosition() and added a range check to it (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Improved cControl::Launch() to keep 'control' from pointing to uninitialized memory (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Made skipspace() an inline function (suggested by Tobias Bratfisch) and changed it to handle the most common case of 'no leading space' very fast, and avoid calling isspace(), which made the whole function a lot faster. - Fixed detection of Premiere NVOD channel links (thanks to Markus Hahn). - Added a table of the used trick speed values to the description of cDevice::TrickSpeed() (suggested by Martin Dauskardt). - Added a missing 'P' to vdr.c's SHUTDOWNCANCELROMPT macro (reported by Marco Schlüßler).
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.
