- Fixed several channel definitions in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Thilo
  Wunderlich).
- Added MPEG audio support for DVD (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Implemented DVB-T support (thanks to Dave Chapman).
  This currently works only for UK channels.
- Removed the range limits for the Frequency and Srate parameters of channel
  definitions.
- Changed the maximum value for PIDs in channels.conf from 0xFFFE to 0x1FFF.
- Fixed DVD audio sync problems (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Fixed external AC3 replay for DVDs (thanks to Andreas Schultz).

- Completed storing the current audio volume in the setup.conf file (thanks
  to Andy Grobb).
- Fixed closing the progress display with the "Back" key when in trick mode
  and Setup.ShowReplayMode is enabled (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- New SVDRP commands LSTR and DELR to list and delete recordings (thanks to
  Thomas Heiligenmann).
- Fixed a crash when pressing the '2' button while replaying a DVD.
- Updated 'channels.conf' for the "Bundesliga" channels of Premiere World
  (thanks to Mel Schächner).
- Changed the tuning code to use FrontendInfo to detect the type of DVB card.
- Removed the recursion stuff from cThread (cMutex already does this).
- Fixed handling the repeat function in the channel display.
- Avoiding multiple EPG entries for the same event (thanks to Rolf Hakenes
  for some valuable information on how to do this).
- A recording on the primary interface can now be stopped to make it continue
  on an other free DVB card (if one is free at the moment). See MANUAL for
  details.
- Added some missing teletext PIDs (thanks to Norbert Schmidt).
- Added PTS to the converted PCM audio when replaying a DVD (thanks to Andreas
  Schultz). Now the audio and video of a DVD replayed over the DVB card's A/V
  out should always be in sync.
- Fixed handling the "Power" key in case Setup.MinUserInactivity is set to 0 to
  disable automatic shutdown.
- Added a fifth parameter to the 'shutdown' call that indicates the reason for
  this shutdown request (see INSTALL).
- Fixed releasing 'index' memory after recording or playback.
- Fixed ejecting a DVD while it is being replayed.
- Removed all video overlay stuff from cDvbApi and SVDRP. Guido Fiala's new
  'kvdr' version 0.4 now does these things itself. As a consequence of this you
  will now need to use kvdr 0.4 or later.
- The device /dev/video is now opened only if necessary (to GRAB an image),
  allowing other programs (like 'kvdr', for instance) to use that device.

- Implemented a lock file to prevent more than one instance of VDR from removing
  files from the video directory at the same time.
- The new setup parameter SplitEditedFiles can be used to control whether or
  not the result of an editing process shall be written into separate files.
- Fixed handling repeat function when using LIRC (thanks to Matthias Weingart).
- The shutdown program (defined with the '-s' option) now also gets the channel
  number and recording title of the timer (see INSTALL).
- New channel data for 'Premiere One', 'Premiere X-Action', 'Fox Kids Türkce'
  and 'N24' (thanks to Andreas Share, Ulrich Röder, Uwe Scheffler and Simon
  Bauschulte). Note that if you are using the default 'channels.conf' or
  'channels.conf.cable' files you may need to check any exiting timers to see
  whether they still use the correct channel number.
- Fixed the "EPG bugfix" (sometimes had duplicate information in Subtitle and
  Extended Description).
- Fixed checking for valid video device when setting the video mode.
- The external command 'sort' is no longer required. VDR now sorts the list of
  recordings itself, making sure that recordings that stem from repeating timers
  are sorted chronologically. Sorting is done according to the setting of the
  current locale, so you may want to make sure LC_COLLATE is set to the desired
  value (see INSTALL).
- Fixed handling 'newline' characters in EPG texts (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for
  an improved version of his 'libdtv').
  Newline characters are always mapped to a single "blank" in VDR, because they
  would otherwise disturb the Title and Subtitle layout in the channel display
  (where these are assumed to be single line texts) and would have to be
  specially handled in the 'epg.data' file and the LSTE command in SVDRP.
- Mapping ` ("backtick") characters in EPG texts to ' (single quote).
- Fixed timers starting and ending at unexpected times. 'localtime()' was not
  thread safe, now using localtime_r().
- Removed the "system time seen..." message.
- Fixed a bug in the replay mode display when pressing the Green or Yellow
  button while in trick mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt)
- Closing all open file descriptors when calling external programs.
- The menu timeout now also works when pressing the "Back" button during replay
  to enter the "Recordings" menu.
- Updated 'channels.conf' for the "Bundesliga" channels of Premiere World
  (thanks to Helmut Schächner).
- Fixed reading timers.conf and channels.conf that contain blanks after numeric
  values.
- Fixed handling trick modes near the beginning and end of a recording.
- Pressing the "Back" button while replaying a DVD now leads to the DVD menu.

- Made VDR compile with libdvdread-0.9.1 (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
  Note that you now _need_ version 0.9.1 of libdvdread to compile VDR with
  DVD support!
- Several fixes to the replay mode display (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt):
  no more replay mode display when pressing the "Green" or "Yellow" button
  (Skip +/-60s); fixed timeout when pressing '0' to set an editing mark while
  the progress display is not shown; mode display is shown after progress
  display is closed; pressing "Ok" while the mode display is on brings up
  the progress display; no more unnecessary display of "normal play mode".
- Supplying the new frontend parameter 'Inversion' (currently it is always
  set to INVERSION_AUTO, which should work with all channels on Astra).
- Removing unnecessary double quotes from EPG Subtitle in EPGBugfixLevel >=1.
- EPG info is now updated if the contents changes but the ID remains the same.
- Fixed handling SVDRP commands whith more than one blank between the command
  word and the options.
- The current volume setting is now saved to setup.conf and restored at the
  next program start.
- New command line option '-r' to define a command that gets called before and
  after each recording (see INSTALL for details).
- Implemented a check to see whether the system time is running linearly.
- Writing the current time (as seen by VDR) into the log file when starting
  a timer recording (this may help debugging cases where timers don't start
  at the expected time).
- Made the volume, mute and power keys work when a menu is active, too (thanks
  to Matthias Weingart).

- Fixed behaviour in case the shutdown didn't take place (there were many
  "next timer event at..." messages in that case).
- Reduced the default value for MinEventTimeout to 30 minutes.
- Fixed detecting manual start in shutdown feature.
- An error message is now displayed in case the Transfer Mode can't be
  started because the necessary DVB card is currently recording (or there
  is no DVB card that can access this channel).
- Fixed toggling channels with the '0' key in case the "Ok" button has been
  pressed to display the current/next information.
- Pressing the "Power" key now always initiates the shutdown sequence (after
  user confirmation in case of a recording timer), event if there is currently
  a menu or a replay session active. Note the additional remarks in INSTALL
  regarding the values of the two parameters given to the shutdown program
  in case of a currently recording timer.
- Switching through channel groups with the "Left" and "Right" keys now
  always starts at the group that contains the current channel.
- Implemented "Multi Speed Mode" (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Implemented backtracing to hit the right spot after fast forward/rewind
  (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Implemented replay mode display (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt, with a few
  rewrites by kls).
- Changed the size of all input buffers used to parse config files or receive
  SVDRP commands to the same value of 10KB. This allows long strings to be
  used in the 'summary' field of a timer, for instance.
- The pipe to the Dolby Digital replay command (option '-a') now closes all
  unused file descriptors in the child process to avoid crashing when the
  OSD is used (thanks to Andreas Vitting).
- Switched to the driver's new tuning API (VDR now requires a driver version
  dated 2001-09-14 or higher).
- Changed obsolete macro VIDEO_WINDOW_CHROMAKEY to VID_TYPE_CHROMAKEY (thanks
  to Guido Fiala).
- New version of the "Master-Timer" tool (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer).
- Better error handling when writing configuration files.
- Fixed putting the final editing mark into the edited version's marks file.
- Fixed manipulating an editing mark at the very end of a recording.
- Fixed starting a new replay immediately after stopping a previous one (had
  caused a mix between live video and replay).
- Three new keys ("Volume+", Volume-" and "Mute") to control the DVB card's
  audio output volume.
- New version of the 'epg2timers' tool (thanks to Carsten Koch).

- Implemented automatic shutdown (see INSTALL and MANUAL for details).
- New SVDRP command NEXT to show the next timer event.
- The new remote control key "Power" can be used to turn the VDR machine
  off (this requires the presence of the '-s' option).
- Fixed code for the default "Ok" button on the PC keyboard (was 0x162 on
  the "good old" keyboards (with the F-keys at the left side), while it changed
  to 0x15E on the newer keyboards).
- When a recording is edited, the summary information (if present) is now
  also copied.
- When a recording is running on the primary interface, any attempt to change
  the current channel will now lead to a "Channel locked" message.
- The main program loop now first checks whether any timer recordings are
  finished, before starting a new timer recording. This is important in case
  one timer ends at the same time another timer starts.
- New setup parameter OSDMessageTime to define how long an OSD message shall
  be displayed.
- The "File" parameter of a timer can now contain the '~' character to store
  the recording in a hierarchical directory structure. The '~' character has
  been chosen since the file system's directory delimiter '/' may be part of
  a regular programme name (showing the directory hierarchy in the "Recordings"
  menu will follow later).
- Repeating timers now create recordings that contain the 'Subtitle' information
  from the EPG data in their file name. Typically (on tv stations that care
  about their viewers) this contains the episode title of a series. The
  subtitle is appended to the timer's file name, separated by a '~' character,
  so that it results in all recordings of this timer being collected in a
  common subdirectory. You can disable this with the 'UseSubtitle' parameter
  in the "Setup" menu.
- The summary information is now taken from the EPG data at the actual time of
  recording (no longer at the time the timer is created in the "Schedule" menu).
  If a timer already has summary data, that data will be used. If you have
  repeating timers in your 'timers.conf', you may want to make sure they do
  NOT contain any summary information (that's the last field in the timer
  definitions). Use your favourite text editor to delete that information.
  That way every recording will store the actual summary data at the time of
  the recording.

- The menus and the channel display now show the current date and time.
- The new Setup parameter MaxVideoFileSize can be used to customize the
  maximum size of the recorded video files.
- Fixed a bug in handling repeating timers that record over midnight (the
  calculation of matching timers has been completely rewritten).
- Timers that are currently recording are now marked with '#' in the "Timers"
  menu.
- Timers are now sorted in the "Timers" menu, showing the sequence in which
  they will be recording. This can be disabled in the "Setup" menu. Note
  that the "Mark" button doesn't work if timers are displayed sorted.

- The "channel not sync'ed" log message now also lists the card number.
- Now using the EIT services from 'libdtv' (thanks to Rolf Hakenes), which
  provides EPG information for NVOD ("Near Video On Demand") channels.
- Doing some bug fixing on the EPG data (some tv stations apparently have
  their own idea on how to fill in the data...). The level up to which EPG
  bugs are fixed can be controlled with the EPGBugfixLevel parameter in the
  "Setup" menu (see MANUAL for details, and cEventInfo::FixEpgBugs() in eit.c
  for the actual implementation).
- Fixed broken recordings after a driver buffer overflow.
- Fixed the chirping sound after Pause/Play of a DVD (thanks to Andreas
  Schultz).

- Fixed displaying colored button texts that are too long.
- Suppressing replay progress display when replaying a DVD.
- Updated channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler).
- Updated French OSD texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto).
- Improved AC3 decoding when replaying DVDs (thanks to Matjaz Thaler).
- Fixed handling DVB card indexes when using only one card in a multi-card
  system.
- Changed the 'Eject DVD' button text to a simple 'Eject' (the German text
  was too long...).
- Made the font file generation more stable (thanks to Artur Skawina).
- Changed the default value for the "DiSEqC" setup parameter to "off".
- The new command line option '-E' can be used to define where the EPG data
  shall be written to. This is especially useful if VDR runs in a system
  that turns off the video disk when it is not used, and therefore needs
  to write the EPG file to a ramdisk (or turn off writing it alltogether).
  See 'vdr --help' for details.
- Making sure the disk is up and running before starting recording (this
  is important for systems that turn off the video disk when it is not used).
- Added the "Jump" function in replay mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
  See the description of the "Red" key in MANUAL under "Replay Control" for
  details.
- Fixed displaying editing marks when toggling a mark in "pause" mode.
- If there is no free DVB device to record, the log message will now be given
  only once.
- Made I/O more robust by handling EINTR (thanks to Werner Fink).

- Modified the display of the channel group separators (thanks to Markus Lang
  for this suggestion).
- Added support for replaying DVDs (thanks to Andreas Schultz). See INSTALL for
  instructions on how to compile VDR with DVD support.
- Fixed replay progress display in case replay is paused while watching an
  ongoing recording.
- Ringbuffer uses semaphores to signal empty/full conditions.
- Fixed calculating the timeout value in cFile::FileReady() (thanks to
  Wolfgang Henselmann-Weiss).
