<id>fef3aa3a7fff0e3b4745532a6b1a157b45cb9643</id>

- Fixed handling 'page down', which was broken in version 1.3.26 (thanks to Udo
  Richter).
- Modified page scrolling behaviour (based on a suggestion by Patrick Gleichmann).
- The new setup option "OSD/Scroll wraps" can be used to activate wrapping around
  in menu lists (based on a suggestion by Patrick Gleichmann).
- Removed the NPTL check at startup, since several users have reported that VDR
  now runs fine with NPTL.
- Fixed handling VPS timers, so that they only record if the event they are assigned
  to actually has the given VPS time.
- Disabled cVideoRepacker in remux.c, because it has caused several problems
  during recording. If you want to test (and maybe debug) it, activate the line

  //#define TEST_cVideoRepacker

  in remux.c.
- When drawing a bitmap to the OSD, the existing palette of the target can now be
  replaced with the new one instead of adding the new entries (thanks to Andreas
  Regel).

<id>a616d4b8597cfb69af7a8f0e0a96da2143970ffe</id>

- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling 'summary.vdr' files with more than two empty lines (thanks to
  Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one).
- Improved resetting CAM connections (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Implemented cVideoRepacker in remux.c to make sure every PES packet contains
  only data from one frame (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
  NOTE: currently this doesn't work with MPEG1, so if you use MPEG1 you may want
  to change line 1158 in remux.c to

  ts2pes[numTracks++] = new cTS2PES(VPid, resultBuffer, IPACKS);

  as it was before.
- EPG events without a title now display "No title" instead of "(null)" (thanks
  to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- A device can now detach all receivers for a given PID, as is necessary, e.g.,
  for the bitstreamout plugin (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Added the year (two digits) to recording dates in LSTR, and thus also in menus
  (suggested by Jan Ekholm).
- Fixed the call to Channels.Unlock() in cEITScanner::Process() (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling timers with a day given as MTWTF--@6, i.e. a repeating timer with
  first day not as full date, but just day of month (thanks to Henrik Niehaus for
  reporting this one).
- Removed an unnecessary #include from osd.c (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald).
- Fixed dropping EPG events that have a zero start time or duration, in case it's
  an NVOD event (thanks to Chris Warren).
- Fixed handling page up/down in menu lists in case there are several non selectable
  items in a row (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting this one).
- Added cOsdMenu::SetCols() to allow adjusting the menu columns.
- Modified cEITScanner::Process() so that it works on systems with only budget cards
  or a mix of DVB-S, DVB-C or DVB-T cards.

<id>f8367110245149a1333e47118c41827288c814c3</id>
<content type='text'>
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Some cable providers don't mark short channel names according to the standard,
  but rather go their own way and use "name&gt;short name". VDR now splits at this
  character for cable channels (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one).
- Added a check for Setup.DiSEqC in cDvbDevice::ProvidesTransponder(), otherwise
  the EPG scan didn't work on systems that don't use DiSEqC (thanks to Michael
  Reinelt for reporting this one).
- Made the Makefile patch friendlier (thanks to Ludwig Nussel).
- Made cOsd::isOpen an integer counter to avoid problems with messages when a
  cOsdObject uses the raw OSD (thanks to Andreas Regel for reporting this one).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- The file 'summary.vdr' has been replaced with 'info.vdr' and now contains the
  information about a recording, in the same format as the events are stored in
  'epg.data' (see man vdr(5) for details). Existing summary files can be converted
  to the new format by running the Perl script 'summary2info.pl', as in

  summary2info.pl /video

  (the parameter given has to be the video directory). If there is no 'info.vdr'
  file for a recording, an attempt is made to read a 'summary.vdr'.
- The "Summary" button in the "Recordings" menu has been renamed to "Info", and
  the page it brings up now shows the recording's information, much like the EPG
  event page. Therefore it now no longer uses the skin's SetText() function, but
  rather the SetRecording() function. Skin plugins may need to adjust that function
  accordingly (see skinsttng.c, for instance).
- The SVDRP command LSTR now lists the recording information in the same tagged
  format as the LSTE command lists the EPG data.
- The audio track menu now contains track descriptions when replaying (provided
  such descriptions were available in the EPG data when the recording was made,
  and are stored in the info.vdr file).
- Avoiding extra blanks at the end of names of instant recordings.
- Removed converting byte order on big endian systems from cDvbOsd::Flush(),
  which, according to Johannes Stezenbach and Paavo Hartikainen, is wrong.
- Added cPlayer::DeviceSetVideoDisplayFormat() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- No longer saving the setup in case of a fatal error, to keep the volume level
  from being set to a wrong value (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a possible hangup when ending a replay session while cIndexFile::CatchUp()
  is waiting (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The SVDRP command DELR no longer deletes recordings that are currently being
  written to by a timer (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for pointing out this one).
- Pressing the "Play" key in live viewing mode now resumes a previous replay
  session (thanks to Mirko Dölle).
- Now dropping EPG events that have a zero start time or duration (thanks to
  Oliver Endriss).
- No longer stopping Transfer Mode or replay immediately when the Power button
  is pressed (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Moved the NPTL and UTF-8 checks after the version and help output (thanks to
  Andreas Kool for pointing out that 'vdr --version' failed on an UTF-8 system).
- Made tChannelID::operator==() inline for better performance (thanks to Georg
  Acher).
- Introduced cListBase::count for better performance (thanks to Georg Acher).
- cEvent no longer stores the channelID directly, but rather has a pointer to
  the schedule it is in.
- Now using hash tables to speed up cSchedule::GetEvent() (partially based on
  a patch from Georg Acher).
- Avoiding unnecessary calls to getLength() in libsi/si.c, and avoiding the
  '&amp; 0xff' in CRC32::crc32() of libsi/util.c (thanks to Georg Acher).
- Speeded up deleting duplicate channels.
- Fixed listing recordings with empty episode names in the LSTR command (thanks
  to Stefan Huelswitt for pointing this out).
- Added cThread::SetPriority() and using it in cSectionHandler::Action() to
  reduce the priority of the section handler threads (as suggested by Georg Acher).

<id>c23522ade253e23b5bf6141d7d7e7335d6abcd1d</id>

- Now including the optional user defined Make.config from the 'libsi' Makefile
  (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Fixed a memory leak in tComponent (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt and Daniel Thompson).
- Fixed a memory leak in cDvbPlayer (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Added missing text internationalization for "Starting EPG scan" (thanks to
  Matthias Lötzke).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling transparent areas in cDvbSpuBitmap (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Now also considering the "EPG linger time" when saving the EPG data to file or
  listing it via LSTE (thanks to Roman Krenický).
- Fixed handling fragments of less than 4 byte in cPesAssembler (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed a bug in libsi's SubtitlingDescriptor::getLength() (thanks to Marco
  Schlüßler).
- When reading the channels.conf file, duplicate channels (i.e. ones that have
  the same channel ID) are now automatically deleted and only the first one is
  actually stored.
- Fixed handling lifetime when deciding whether to delete a recording (thanks to
  Udo Richter).
- Fixed timeout handling in cRwLock::Lock() (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting
  this one).
- Since there are several places in thread.c where a timeout value is calculated,
  this has been put into a separate function.
- The timer status now has a new bit that is set when that timer is currently
  recording (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). See man vdr(5) for details.
- Removed scaling coordinates in letterbox mode from cDvbSpu - the DVD plugin, which
  was the only one needing this, doesn't need it any more (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- No longer retuning or restarting a recording if only the language code of an
  audio or Dolby PID changes.
- Now preferring budget cards when selecting a DVB device for recording.
- Recordings now avoid zero sized video data files (thanks to Wolfgang Fitz).
- Some rearrangements in cDvbPlayer::Action() to avoid lockups on NPTL systems
  (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed a wrong inheritance in libsi's SubtitlingDescriptor::Subtitling (thanks to
  Marco Schlüßler).

- Fixed cDolbyRepacker to allow recording ProSieben HD broadcasts (thanks to Reinhard
  Nissl).
- Fixed cDvbDevice::SetVideoDisplayFormat() in case of 16:9 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The running status of a VPS event is now only taken seriously if that event has been
  seen within the last 30 seconds - otherwise recording is done as if no VPS was
  available.
- The day of a timer is now stored as a full date in ISO notation ("YYYY-MM-DD") in
  'timers.conf' and for the result of the SVDRP command LSTT (based in parts on a
  patch by Roman Krenický).
- Some fixes to avoid compiler warnings in gcc 4.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting
  these).
- Single shot timers are now reliably deleted when they have expired.
- Fixed setting the colored button help after deleting a recording in case the next
  menu entry is a directory (thanks to Steffen Beyer).
- Improved falling back to normal recording if the VPS data hasn't been seen for more
  than 30 seconds.
- Added a missing cMutexLock to cRemote::HasKeys() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald).

- Removed some unneeded code and fixed access to unallocated memory in
  cEvent::FixEpgBugs() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald).
- Avoiding unnecessary calls to SetPid() in cDvbDevice::SetAudioTrackDevice()
  (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- No longer calling EnsureAudioTrack() in cDevice::SetChannel() if a Transfer Mode is
  started, to avoid setting the audio PID on the primary device (thanks to Marco
  Schlüßler for pointing this out).
- Replaced the call to system("sync") in SpinUpDisk() with fdatasync(f) to avoid
  problems on NPTL systems (thanks to Chris Warren for pointing this out).
- Increased POLLTIMEOUTS_BEFORE_DEVICECLEAR in transfer.c to 6 to avoid problems
  with the larger buffer reserve (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed the call to SetVideoFormat() in cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice() (parameter is _bool_).
- Added support for setting the video display mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The new setup option "DVB/Video display format" can be used to define which display
  format to use for playing wide screen video on a 4:3 tv set.
- Changed MAXDPIDS to 16 (8xAC3 + 8xDTS) (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing this out).
- Completed Dutch language texts (thanks to Hans Dingemans).

<id>dbacda8274e2d76b0ea42f90b94353b672fa9343</id>
<content type='text'>
- Fixed cDvbDevice::SetAudioTrackDevice() to avoid a blank screen after switching
  back to live mode if a recording is currently active on the primary device.
- Fixed a possible freeze in pause mode in case a device's PlayPesPacket() function
  permanently returns 0 (thanks to Reinhard Nissl and Olaf Titz).
- Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Restricted the "setting audio track" log message to automatic changes during replay.
- Fixed handling Transfer Mode for radio channels (thanks to Andreas Regel for
  reporting this one).
- Fixed handling symbolic links in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() (thanks to Stefan
  Huelswitt).
- Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Forcing a new resync after a call to cRemux::Clear() (suggested by Marco Schlüßler).
- The cAudio::Play() function now has an additional parameter 'uchar Id' which tells
  the function the substream id of the given audio packet, so that a plugin can
  take the right action for the various kinds if audio data - which now also includes
  "normal" audio with ids 0xC0...0xDF (based on suggestions by Werner Fink and Macro
  Schlüßler).
- Removed the "Cleared/PlayPes(NULL, 0)" handling from cTransfer::Action(), since this
  is now done when attaching the player to the device (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Making sure the buffer reserve in cTransfer::Action() is re-established after
  clearing the buffer.
- Added DeviceClrAvailableTracks() and DeviceSetCurrentAudioTrack() to cPlayer
  (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a typo in detecting UTF-8 (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Now using twice the buffer reserve in cTransfer if the primary DVB card is an
  unmodified version with only 2MB of SDRAM, to avoid audio stuttering when
  playing Dolby Digital over the DVB card (thanks to Christian Jacobsen and Chad
  Flynt for suggestions and experiments in that area).
- Making sure the first audio packet is not dropped when switching to "pre 1.3.19
  Dolby Digital compatibility mode".
- The 'plugins-clean' target of the Makefile now only deletes the actual plugin
  library files from this version of VDR (suggested by Andreas Brachold).
- Added a missing 'resultSkipped = 0' to cRemux::Clear() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler
  for reporting this one).
- The new function cDvbDevice::SetTransferModeForDolbyDigital() can be used by
  plugins that implement Dolby Digital output and thus want to prevent the cDvbDevice
  from starting Transfer Mode in order to replay DD over the DVB device.
- Added missing reset of the 'repacker' to cTS2PES::Clear() (thanks to Marco
  Schlüßler for reporting this one).

- Fixed displaying the "Audio" menu with the "Green" button from the "Main" menu
  in case there is only one audio track (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting
  this one).
- Now setting primaryDevice = NULL before deleting the devices in cDevice::Shutdown()
  to avoid problems in case other threads access it (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald for
  pointing this out).
- Fixed a buffer overflow in case a station defines all 32 audio PIDs (thanks to
  Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one).
- Fixed masking SubStreamType in cDevice::PlayPesPacket() (thanks to Werner Fink
  for pointing out this one).
- The new function cPlugin::Stop() shall be used to stop any background activities
  of a plugin. Previously this was done in the plugin's destructor, but it is
  better to do this in a dedicated function that can be called early when shutting
  down.
- Moved the call to SetAudioChannel(0) into cDevice::ClrAvailableTracks() to have it
  executed also when starting a replay.
- Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Completed the French OSD texts (thanks to Olivier Jacques).
- The new setup option "OSD/Channel info time" can be used to define the time after
  which the channel display is removed if no key has been pressed (thanks to
  Olivier Jacques).
- Modified cDolbyRepacker to make sure PES packets don't exceed the requested length
  (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed several memory leaks that were introduced through the use of cString (thanks
  to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting these).
- Added CMD_SPU_CHG_COLCON to cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Making sure the current audio track is actually one of the ones available in a
  recording (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting a problem when starting
  replay of a recording that has no Dolby Digital audio after switching to a channel
  that has DD and selecting the DD audio track).
- Removed 'flags' from tTrackId (thought we would need this, but apparently we don't).
- Making sure the "Mute" and "Volume+/-" keys don't interfere with digital audio.
- Fixed the "pre 1.3.19" compatibility mode for old Dolby Digital recordings (thanks
  to Werner Fink for pointing out that this can be triggered in the default branch).
- Calling pesAssembler-&gt;Reset() in cDevice::AttachPlayer() to avoid problems with
  residual data in replay and Transfer Mode (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing this
  out).
- Added MPEG1 replay capability to cPesAssembler (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).

- Making sure at least the default skin is available at program start in case a
  plugin needs to issue an error message (thanks to Achim Tuffentshammer for
  reporting a crash in such a case). Also checking if there is a current skin
  in cSkins::Message().
- Completed the Finnish OSD texts and fixed internationalization of the text
  for "Setup/DVB/Audio language(s)" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Completed the Estonian OSD texts and switched to iso8859-13 character set
  (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Made cCondWait::SleepMs() sleep at least 3ms to avoid a possible busy wait.
- Fixed canceling the LIRC thread (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out
  this one).
- The "Green" button in the "Main" menu is now always "Audio", since the audio
  channel might be changed even if there is only one actual audio PID.
- Fixed handling the '-E' option which was broken in version 1.3.18 (thanks to
  Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one).
- Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Mainz (thanks to Michael Heyse).
- Implemented cDolbyRepacker for better handling of Dolby Digital PES packets
  (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed playing files with PES packets longer than 2048 byte through the full
  featured DVB card (thanks to Marco Kremer for reporting this one and providing
  a test sample).

  interfaces of the following functions have been changed:
  cTransferControl::cTransferControl()
  cTransfer::cTransfer()
  cRecorder::cRecorder()
  cReceiver::cReceiver()
  cRemux::cRemux()
- Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() and cTSBuffer::Action()

- Falling back to 'stereo' when switching channels in case the user had switched
  to 'left' or 'right' (suggested by Rolf Groppe).
- Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Recording and Transfer Mode can now handle up to 8 Dolby Digital tracks (thanks
  to Marco Schlüßler for a patch that implements substream handling into
  cDevice::PlayPesPacket(), and Reinhard Nissl for adding substream handling to
  cDolbyRepacker).
- Added PlayPes(NULL, 0) to cTransfer::Action() when clearing the transfer buffer

<id>fb5cccb2df60361a18fe3fd572b0fe18f3a4331c</id>
<content type='text'>
- Removed an unused variable from cTimer::GetWDayFromMDay() (thanks to Wayne Keer
  for reporting this one).
- Some more changes to the 'childTid' handling in cThread (based on suggestions by
  Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed the spelling of 'canceling' (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one).
- Re-introduced a sleep to cDvbPlayer::Action() to avoid high CPU load in still
  picture mode (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one).
- Fixed a possible race condition in generating the DVB device names (thanks to
  Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one).
- Changed the way PES packets are played to allow replay of AC3 sound over the
  full featured DVB cards (partially based on a patch from Werner Fink).
  + The new function cDevice::PlayPes() is now called with the complete PES data
    stream and calls PlayVideo() and PlayAudio() as necessary.
  + cDevice::PlayVideo() is now only called with actual video PES packets.
  + cDevice::PlayAudio() is now called with the actual audio PES packets, which
    can be either "normal" audio or AC3 data. You need at least firmware version
    0x261d to replay AC3 sound over a full featured DVB card. This function now
    has an 'int' return value.
  + PlayAudio() of derived cDevice classes shall no longer call the base class
    function. It shall just play the given data as audio.
  + cPlayer::PlayVideo() and cPlayer::PlayAudio() are now obsolete and have been
    replaced with cPlayer::PlayPes().
  + All StripAudioPackets() functions are now obsolete. The functionality has been
    moved into cDevice::PlayPes(), where only the video and audio packets that are
    actually required will be processed.
  + All audio track handling is now done by cDevice; cTransfer and cDvbPlayer no
    longer care about audio tracks. cPlayer, however, still has the virtual hooks
    for audio track handling in order to allow plugins to implement players that
    have their own idea about this.
  + cChannel::[AD]pid[12]() have been replaced with cChannel::[AD]pid(int i) to
    allow access to all available PIDs.
- Escaped the '-' and 'ö' characters in the man pages (thanks to Darren Salt for
  pointing this out).
- Completed the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Sean Carlos).
- Fixed setting 'synced' in cRemux when recording radio channels (thanks to
  Laurence Abbott).
- Removed the LOCK_THREAD from the LIRC thread (thanks to Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed genfontfile.c (sometimes the character width was wrong, and the codes were
  shifted one too far to the left).
- Fixed the character width and shifted the codes one to the right in all font
  files.
- Renamed font???.c to font???-iso8859-1.c for symmetry.
- Switched the character set to iso8859-15 for English, German and Finnish (thanks
  to Andreas Brugger for reporting the missing Euro sign in iso8859-1).
- Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Lübeck (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt).
- Fixed a race condition in starting a thread (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for
  reporting this one).
- Replaced non-threadsafe library functions with their threadsafe versions (thanks
  to Rainer Zocholl for pointing this out).
- Other non-threadsafe functions have been replaced by threadsafe classes that hide
  the actual buffering. In particular these are:
  readdir() -&gt; cReadDir
  readline() -&gt; cReadLine
- Several formerly non-threadsafe functions now have a return type of cString:
  cChannel::ToText()
  tChannelID::ToString()
  cEvent::GetDateString()
  cEvent::GetTimeString()
  cEvent::GetEndTimeString()
  cEvent::GetVpsString()
  cMark::ToText()
  cTimer::ToText()
  cSource::ToString()
  cTimer::PrintDay()
  cTimer::PrintFirstDay()
  PrefixVideoFileName()
  IndexToHMSF()
  ChannelString()
  strescape()
  AddDirectory()
  itoa()
  WeekDayName()
  DayDateTime()
  When using these functions in a 'const char *' context there is nothing special
  to consider, except that you can no longer have a pointer to the return value,
  as in
  const char *date = DayDateTime();
  Although this will compile without error message, the resulting 'date' will not
  be valid after this line. Use this instead:
  cString date = DayDateTime();
  In a 'const void *' context (as in printf() etc.) the result needs to be
  dereferenced with a '*', as in
  printf("%s", *DayDateTime());
  to make it a 'const char *'.
- Removed delay_ms(), using cCondWait::SleepMs() instead.
- Replaced time_ms() with a threadsafe and non-overflowing cTimeMs (thanks to Rainer
  Zocholl for pointing out this problem).
- Added cDevice::mutexReceiver to avoid a race condition when attaching/detaching
  receivers from different threads.
- The new remote control button "Audio" can be used to switch between different
  audio tracks. The "Green" button in the "Main" menu has been changed from "Language"
  to "Audio", since it now also controls switching between normal and Dolby Digital
  audio tracks (see MANUAL for details).
- The description of the audio tracks is now taken from the "component descriptors"
  that are broadcast in the EPG data. However (as no big surprise), not all channels
  actually provide useful data here, so there are now some additional EPG bugfixes,
  which can be activated by setting the "EPG bugfix level" to 3.
- The format of the 'epg.data' files has been extended by the new tag 'X', which
  contains the stream components of an event (see man vdr(5) for details).
- The cStatus class now has the new member function SetAudioTrack(), which can be
  used to get notified when the audio track has been switched, and the new member
  function SetAudioChannel() which is called when the audio channel is changed.
- Skins need to implement the new cSkinDisplayTrack class to display the audio
  track menu.
- The ST:TNG skin now displays the current audio track description (if any) at the
  botton left side.
- The new setup option "DVB/Audio languages" can be used to control which audio
  language shall be selected in case a channel broadcasts in different languages
  (see MANUAL for details).
- The "Left" and "Right" keys in the "Audio" menu can be used to switch between
  the left and right stereo channels in case there are different audio tracks
  in these channels (see MANUAL for details).
- Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() (thanks to Mattias Grönlund).
- Fixed the default quality value when grabbing a JPEG image (thanks to Patrick
  Gleichmann).
- Fixed deleting a menu item in case the next item is not selectable (thanks to
  Dino Ravnic).
- Implemented displaying mandatory subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco
  Schlüßler).
- The setup option "Recording/Record Dolby Digital" has been renamed and moved to
  "DVB/Use Dolby Digital". It now controls whether Dolby Digital is recorded and
  whether an available DD audio track will appear in the "Audio" menu.
- Added support for circular polarization (thanks to Jonan Santiago).
- Thanks to Werner Fink, Reinhard Nissl, Sascha Volkenandt and Bjørnar Nilsen for
  their support in testing and fine tuning this version.

    has an 'int' return value.
  + PlayAudio() of derived cDevice classes shall no longer call the base class
    function. It shall just play the given data as audio.
  + cPlayer::PlayVideo() and cPlayer::PlayAudio() are now obsolete and have been
    replaced with cPlayer::PlayPes().
  + All StripAudioPackets() functions are now obsolete. The functionality has been
    moved into cDevice::PlayPes(), where only the video and audio packets that are
    actually required will be processed.
  + All audio track handling is now done by cDevice; cTransfer and cDvbPlayer no
    longer care about audio tracks. cPlayer, however, still has the virtual hooks
    for audio track handling in order to allow plugins to implement players that
    have their own idea about this.
  + cChannel::[AD]pid[12]() have been replaced with cChannel::[AD]pid(int i) to
    allow access to all available PIDs.
- Escaped the '-' and 'ö' characters in the man pages (thanks to Darren Salt for
  pointing this out).
- Completed the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Sean Carlos).
- Fixed setting 'synced' in cRemux when recording radio channels (thanks to
  Laurence Abbott).
- Removed the LOCK_THREAD from the LIRC thread (thanks to Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed genfontfile.c (sometimes the character width was wrong, and the codes were
  shifted one too far to the left).
- Fixed the character width and shifted the codes one to the right in all font
  files.
- Renamed font???.c to font???-iso8859-1.c for symmetry.
- Switched the character set to iso8859-15 for English, German and Finnish (thanks
  to Andreas Brugger for reporting the missing Euro sign in iso8859-1).
- Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Lübeck (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt).
- Fixed a race condition in starting a thread (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for
  reporting this one).
- Replaced non-threadsafe library functions with their threadsafe versions (thanks
  to Rainer Zocholl for pointing this out).
- Other non-threadsafe functions have been replaced by threadsafe classes that hide
  the actual buffering. In particular these are:
  readdir() -&gt; cReadDir
  readline() -&gt; cReadLine
- Several formerly non-threadsafe functions now have a return type of cString:
  cChannel::ToText()
  tChannelID::ToString()
  cEvent::GetDateString()
  cEvent::GetTimeString()
  cEvent::GetEndTimeString()
  cEvent::GetVpsString()
  cMark::ToText()
  cTimer::ToText()
  cSource::ToString()
  cTimer::PrintDay()
  cTimer::PrintFirstDay()
  PrefixVideoFileName()
  IndexToHMSF()
  ChannelString()
  strescape()
  AddDirectory()
  itoa()
  WeekDayName()
  DayDateTime()
  When using these functions in a 'const char *' context there is nothing special
  to consider, except that you can no longer have a pointer to the return value,
  as in
  const char *date = DayDateTime();
  Although this will compile without error message, the resulting 'date' will not
  be valid after this line. Use this instead:
  cString date = DayDateTime();
  In a 'const void *' context (as in printf() etc.) the result needs to be
  dereferenced with a '*', as in
  printf("%s", *DayDateTime());
  to make it a 'const char *'.
- Removed delay_ms(), using cCondWait::SleepMs() instead.
- Replaced time_ms() with a threadsafe and non-overflowing cTimeMs (thanks to Rainer
  Zocholl for pointing out this problem).
- Added cDevice::mutexReceiver to avoid a race condition when attaching/detaching
  receivers from different threads.
- The new remote control button "Audio" can be used to switch between different
  audio tracks. The "Green" button in the "Main" menu has been changed from "Language"
  to "Audio", since it now also controls switching between normal and Dolby Digital
  audio tracks (see MANUAL for details).
- The description of the audio tracks is now taken from the "component descriptors"
  that are broadcast in the EPG data. However (as no big surprise), not all channels
  actually provide useful data here, so there are now some additional EPG bugfixes,
  which can be activated by setting the "EPG bugfix level" to 3.
- The format of the 'epg.data' files has been extended by the new tag 'X', which
  contains the stream components of an event (see man vdr(5) for details).
- The cStatus class now has the new member function SetAudioTrack(), which can be
  used to get notified when the audio track has been switched, and the new member
  function SetAudioChannel() which is called when the audio channel is changed.
- Skins need to implement the new cSkinDisplayTrack class to display the audio
  track menu.
- The ST:TNG skin now displays the current audio track description (if any) at the
  botton left side.
- The new setup option "DVB/Audio languages" can be used to control which audio
  language shall be selected in case a channel broadcasts in different languages
  (see MANUAL for details).
- The "Left" and "Right" keys in the "Audio" menu can be used to switch between
  the left and right stereo channels in case there are different audio tracks
  in these channels (see MANUAL for details).
- Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() (thanks to Mattias Grönlund).
- Fixed the default quality value when grabbing a JPEG image (thanks to Patrick
  Gleichmann).
- Fixed deleting a menu item in case the next item is not selectable (thanks to
  Dino Ravnic).
- Implemented displaying mandatory subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco
  Schlüßler).
- The setup option "Recording/Record Dolby Digital" has been renamed and moved to
  "DVB/Use Dolby Digital". It now controls whether Dolby Digital is recorded and
  whether an available DD audio track will appear in the "Audio" menu.
- Added support for circular polarization (thanks to Jonan Santiago).
- Thanks to Werner Fink, Reinhard Nissl, Sascha Volkenandt and Bjørnar Nilsen for
  their support in testing and fine tuning this version.
