- 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.

- Fixed handling the "Power" key in case a recording is going on and no plugin
  is active (thanks to Udo Richter; bug reported by Dominique Simon).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
- Fixed a memory leak in handling external EPG data (thanks to Tobias Grimm).
- Fixed a memory leak in closing the video file during replay (thanks to Tobias Grimm).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Nino Gerbino and Antonio Ospite).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).

- Fixed initializing 'noapiv' in the Makefile (reported by Ronny Kornexl).
- Fixed extracting APIVERSION to work with older versions of 'sed' (reported by
  Oliver Endriss; thanks also to Udo Richter for a shorter version of the 'sed'
  expression).
- Fixed broken APIVERSION extraction line in 'newplugin' (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed entering '0' in a cMenuEditIntItem (reported by Mirko Dölle).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Nino Gerbino).
- Added a note about adding 'INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include' to an existing
  Make.config (problem reported by Markus Ehrnsperger).
- Fixed handling the cPluginManager::Active() result when pressing the "Power" key
  (reported by Werner Färber).
- Added a hint about commenting out the line '#define USE_FADVISE' in tools.c in
  case of problems with replaying in fast forward mode if the video directory is
  mounted via a Samba share (reported by Andy Grobb).
- Changed the "Really restart?" prompt in the call to cPluginManager::Active() in
  menu.c to "restart anyway?" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Removed the obsolete "'1' for encrypted radio channels" part from the description
  of the VPID in vdr.5 (reported by Alexander Hans).
- Fixed tuning to the channel of a VPS timer if the device is the actual device.

- Updated the GPL copies (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Pierre Briec).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler).
- Fixed wrong credits for the patch that was used to implement cPlugin::Active().
- Simplified the 'grep|awk|sed' command to retrieve the VDR/APIVERSION to a single
  'sed' call.
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil).
- Modified the German OSD texts to be "less technical" (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Extended the version number reported with the '-V' option to also show the
  current APIVERSION (suggested by Thomas Günther).
- Fixed handling empty titles in cEvent::FixEpgBugs() (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed some missing '-' in the German OSD texts (thanks to Walter Koch).
- Added an error message about plugins that don't honor APIVERSION in their Makefile
  (based on a suggestion by Udo Richter).
- Fixed a format string in recording.c to avoid a compiler warning on 64bit systems
  (thanks to Christian Wieninger for reporting, and Werner Schweer for pointing out
  that the 'z' modifier should be used here).
- Ignoring k_Repeat when deciding whether the same key has been pressed in string
  input fields (based on a patch from Marko Mäkelä).
