- Revoked the change to cDevice::GetDevice() that was introduced in version 1.4.1-2,
  which made it prefer any device that's already receiving and doesn't require
  detatching receivers. This change has caused some unwanted behavior, so further
  testing is necessary.

- Replaced the "quick workaround for additional live audio PIDs" in
  cDvbDevice::SetChannelDevice() with an actual solution in
  cDvbDevice::SetAudioTrackDevice() in order to prevent sticky PIDs in CAMs,
  which caused long switching times or completely blank screens when switching
  between encrypted channels on the same transponder (reported by Tomas Berglund).
- Adapted cThread::ThreadId() to recent kernels (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Added --remove-destination to the 'cp' command for binaries in the Makefile to
  avoid a crash in case a new version is installed on a running system (suggested
  by Petri Hintukainen).
- Fixed handling "Ca Info" in case the CAM sends this again if the smart card is
  replaced with a different one.

- Fixed converting the port number in the "connect from..." log message of SVDRP
  (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Made the cCiSession members sessionId and resourceId uint16_t and uint32_t,
  respectively, to match their types in the CI session data (thanks to Ville Skyttä
  for reporting that there are places where ntohs() is assigned to different types).
- Changed the way a device is selected for receiving in order to keep devices with
  CAMs better available, even if this means recording on the primary device (reported
  by Jörn Reder; thanks to Anssi Hannula for improving handling Transfer Mode devices
  in this).
- No longer stopping removing empty directories if an error occurs (thanks to
  Oliver Endriss).
- Added a log error message to cPlugin::ConfigDirectory() in case a plugin calls it
  from a separate thread (reported by Udo Richter).

- Fixed assigning schedules to channels in case there is no initial EPG information
  (thanks to Frank Schmirler).
- Increased the APIVERSION to allow plugins that relied on the cStatus::MsgSetVolume()
  bug to react properly (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed cDevice::ToggleMute() (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed deleting the last character of a string menu item in insert mode (thanks
  to Udo Richter).
- The /video/.update file is now touched _after_ an editing process is finished
  in order to avoid excessive disk access (thanks to Artur Skawina).
- Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one,
  in case they are added after the current event (cont'd from version 1.4.1-2).
- Modified the shutdown mechanism, so that the shutdown script is never given a
  time in the past (reported by Helmut Auer). If a timer is currently recording,
  or a recording would start within the next 30 minutes (default for the "Min.
  event timeout" setup parameter), and the user insists in shutting down now, the
  reboot time given to the shutdown script will correspond to a time that is
  "Min. event timeout" minutes (default is 30) in the future.
- Avoiding shutdown message "Recording in ... minutes, shut down anyway?" with
  a negative number of minutes (reported by Udo Richter).
- Fixed getting the next active timer when shutting down (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Modified the cSVDRP::Close() function to avoid code duplication.

- Fixed the Makefile of the 'servicedemo' plugin, so that it defines the
  PLUGIN macro, which allows the Make.config file to react properly when
  compiling the plugin (reported by Bernd Melcher).
  Note to all plugin developers: a plugin's Makefile *must* define the PLUGIN
  macro, even if it doesn't use it itself!
- Added a comment regarding the PLUGIN macro to the 'newplugin' script.
- Added '--vfat' to the vdr.1 man page (reported by Udo Richter).
- Removed a double fdopen() in cPipe::Open() (reported by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one,
  in case they are added after the current event.
- cEIT::cEIT() now calls pSchedule->SetPresentSeen() even if OnlyRunningStatus is
  true.
- Newlines in title and short text of an EPG event are now changed into blanks only
  after all other fixes, because a short text might become a description.
- Fixed handling network masks in the svdrphosts.conf file (thanks to Patrick
  Maier).
- Fixed handling relative volume settings in the call to cStatus::MsgSetVolume()
  (reported by Norbert Wentz).
- Added a missing initialization of 'mutex' in cCiMenu::cCiMenu() and removed
  some superfluous semicolons in ci.c (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed handling client side termination of SVDRP connections (thanks to Frank
  Schmirler).
- cDevice::GetDevice() now prefers any device that's already receiving and doesn't
  require detatching receivers (suggested by Anssi Hannula).
- Fixed handling numeric keys in the channel display after switching channel groups
  (thanks to Andreas Regel).
- Menu items derived from cMenuEditIntItem now loop though their values if they
  have a dedicated minimum or maximum limit (suggested by Andy Grobb). Looping is
  only done for normal keypresses, not for repeated ones. This allows the user to
  scroll the value all the way to the limit by keeping the key pressed.

- Added "-fPIC" to the compiler options in Make.config.template when compiling
  plugins (thanks to Udo Richter). If you use your own Make.config file, you may
  want to add these lines there, too.
- Added some comment to cDevice::GetDevice() to explain how the individual
  conditions are put together to make a decision on which device to use.
- Updated 'S13E' in 'sources.conf' (thanks to Antti Hartikainen).
- Now making sure VPS timers don't get stuck with outdated events, and that the
  actual device isn't used for updating a VPS timer's event as long as other
  free devices are available.
- Modified rcu.c to better handle RC5 codes.
- Added a missing variable initialization in cRingBufferLinear::cRingBufferLinear()
  (thanks to Prakash Punnoor).
- Fixed handling relative link targets in the ReadLink() function (reported by
  Patrick Cernko).
- Now making sure a VPS timer has a schedule in case the epg.data file didn't
  contain one when VDR was started.

- Changed the log messages when grabbing an image from 'isyslog()' to 'dsyslog()'
  so that they can be suppressed in normal operation mode to avoid clogging the
  log file in case this function is used frequently (suggested by Helmut Auer).

- Fixed the PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to Stefan
  Huelswitt).
- Removed all the compatibility '#if APIVERSNUM...' stuff and instead increased
  the API version number - plugins will have to be recompiled.
- Removed the call to pthread_setschedparam(childTid, SCHED_RR, 0) in thread.c,
  because it caused a compiler warning with post-2.4 glibc (reported by Ville Skyttä).
  Since the third parameter has to be non-null to have any effect, the call was
  presumably a NOP, anyway.
- Fixed the 'clean-plugins' target in the Makefile to also remove additional
  plugin libraries (thanks to Wayne Keer).
- Applied the fixes to moving and deleting channels from version 1.4.0-2 to the
  SVDRP commands MOVC and DELC as well.
- Fixed handling the display of the '*' indicator in the "What's on now/next?"
  menu, so that events that haven't been "seen" in the data stream within 30
  seconds won't be shown as "running".
- Fixed handling tabbed item display in 'skincurses'.
- Increased the column spacing in the "Recordings" menu (was too small for the
  'skincurses' plugin).
- When the 'skincurses' plugin is loaded, it automatically sets the 'curses'
  skin as the current one. This doesn't modify the Setup.OSDSkin parameter, so
  that after using 'skincurses' (for instance for debugging) the previously
  selected skin will be used again.
- Added some log messages when setting the current skin.
- Only making a second attempt to set the current skin at startup if the first
  attempt has failed.
- Now switching to non-VPS timers' channels 60 seconds before the timer starts
  (if a free device is available), to allow for the updating of EPG data and CA
  descriptors before the actual recording starts.

- Removed leftover LSMOD=... line from 'runvdr'.
- Modified the Makefile to copy additional libraries a plugin might provide (suggested
  by Wayne Keer). See PLUGINS.html for details.
- Fixed handling Transfer Mode when replaying Dolby Digital audio and the option
  '-a' was given (based on a patch from Werner Fink). To avoid having to increment
  the API version, several #if checks have been introduced around this. These will
  be removed once the API version actually needs to be incremented.
- Fixed deleting the 'skinDescriptions' in cMenuSetupOSD::~cMenuSetupOSD() (thanks
  to Tobias Grimm).
- Fixed calculating the start time of repeated timers with "first day" (thanks to
  Udo Richter).
- Now setting a timer's cached start time to 0 after a call to Skip() (thanks to
  Udo Richter).
- Fixed handling the running status of EPG events in case the "Schedule" menu is
  currently open (i.e. a write lock on the schedules data can't be achieved).
- Fixed handling VPS timers in case the EPG event hasn't been 'seen' in a while.
- Fixed calculating the cache size in cUnbufferedFile::Read() (thanks to Artur Skawina).
- Removed -fPIC from VDR's and libsi's Makefile (suggested by Prakash Punnoor).
- Modifed the device selection to better handle timer conflicts (reported by
  Christian Wieninger).
- Avoiding a compiler warning in libsi's TypeLoop::operator[].
- Now processing the "frequency list descriptor" (based on a patch from Anssi Hannula).
- Improved the repeat function for LIRC remote controls (thanks to Joerg Riechardt).
- Fixed moving channels, which sometimes stopped the current replay session
  (reported by Mirko Dölle).
- Fixed deleting channels in case the current channel's number changes (reported
  by Mirko Dölle).

- Updated 'S110W' in 'sources.conf'.
- Adjusted the 'runvdr' script so that the user can fill in the functions to
  detect, load and unload the necessary driver modules (thanks to M. Kiesel for
  reporting that it still used DVBDIR).
- Added 'eval' to the $VDRCMD call in 'runvdr' to avoid problems with quoting
  (suggested by Udo Richter).
- Fixed missing ',' in the Italian and Polish OSD texts (thanks to Marko Mäkelä).
- Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta).
- Fixed handling the "Power" key in case a timer is about to start recording
  (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Fixed the character 'r' in fontosd and fontsml for iso8859-2 (thanks to Vladimír
  Bárta).
- When checking whether a VPS timer has entered the "VPS margin", the event's start
  time is now used instead of the timer's start time, because otherwise events that
  start way off of their VPS time wouldn't be recorded correctly.
- If VPS timers are active, their events are now being kept up to date if there
  are any free devices available.
- Fixed the character #207 in fontosd for iso8859-2 (thanks to Vladimír Bárta).
- Fixed handling unknown codes when learning LIRC remote control codes (reported
  by Helmut Auer).
- Since some channels (especially the Austrian ORF) randomly change the ids of their
  EPG events, VDR now gives the start time precedence when searching for existing
  events.
- Fixed automatically updating the CAM menu in case the whole operation (for
  instance a firmware update) takes longer than the menu timeout.
