- Fixed reading the EPG preferred language parameter from 'setup.conf'.
- Fixed switching to a visible programme in case the current channel has neither
  a video nor an audio PID.
- Fixed editing channels (SID now range checked) and creating new channels (NID,
  TID and RID are now set to 0).
- Fixed transponder handling to make it work with satellites that provide two
  transponders on the same frequency, with different polarization, like Hispasat
  at S30.0W (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl for pointing this out). See man vdr(5)
  for details about the enhanced channel ID format.
- Since there appears to be no general solution for the UPT error yet, a recording
  now initiates an "emergency exit" if the number of UPT errors during one
  recording exceeds 10 (suggested by Gregoire Favre). Since the UPT error doesn't
  happen on my system, this has not been explicitly tested.
  The "preliminary fix" for the UPT error in VDR/dvbdevice.c has been disabled
  by default, since it makes channel switching unpleasently slow. If you want
  to have that workaround back, you can uncomment the line
  //#define WAIT_FOR_LOCK_AFTER_TUNING 1
  in VDR/dvbdevice.c.
- Adapted the 'sky' plugin to use the actual channel IDs, and to fetch EPG data
  from www.bleb.org.
- Limited automatic retuning to devices that actually provide the transponder
  (necessary for the 'sky' plugin).
- Fixed handling receivers in the 'sky' plugin, so that a recording on the same
  channel won't interrupt an ongoing Transfer Mode.
- Added subtable ID and TSDT handling to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Fixed some Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov).
- Added the 'running status' to the EPG events. This is necessary for implementing
  the VPS function for recording.
- Removed the obsolete 'present' and 'following' handling from the EPG data.
- The EPG data is now always kept sorted chronologically in the internal data
  structures. This also means that any EPG data retrieved through the SVRDP
  command LSTE is guaranteed to be sorted by start time.
- Now using the 'running status' in the channel display, so that a programme
  that has an end time that is before the current time, but is still running,
  will still be shown in the display (provided the broadcasters handle the
  'running status' flag correctly). This also applies to programmes that have
  a start time that is in the future, but are already running.
- Implemented an "EPG linger time", which can be set to have older EPG information
  still displayed in the "Schedule" menu (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti).
- Added PDCDescriptor handling to 'libsi'.
- Implemented handling the VPS timestamps (aka "Programme Identification Label")
  for full VPS support for timers (provided the tv stations actually broadcast
  this information). The VPS time is displayed in the event info page if it exists
  and is different than the event's start time.
- Extended the SVDRP command LSTE to allow limiting the listed data to a given
  channel, the present or following events, or events at a given time (thanks to
  Thomas Heiligenmann).
- Fixed a typo in libsi/si.h (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias).
- Timers can now be set to use the VPS information to control recording a programme.
  The new setup options "Recording/Use VPS" and "Recording/VPS margin", as well as
  the "VPS" option in the individual timers, can be used to control this feature
  (see MANUAL for details).
  Note that this feature will certainly need a lot of testing before it can be
  called "safe"!
- The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus now have an additional column
  which displays information on whether there is a timer defined for an event,
  whether an event has a VPS time that's different than its start time, and
  whether an event is currently running (see MANUAL under "The "Schedule" Menu"
  for details).

- Fixed resetting the EPG data versions after changing the preferred languages
  (thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one and helping to debug it).
- Added LinkageDescriptor handling to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Added Russian language texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov).
  Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact
  the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 17
  different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 17 versions for each of
  your texts.
- Some corrections and additions to the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf
  Ahrenberg and Niko Tarnanen).
- Fixed a wrong 'delta' value in the call to the shutdown script (thanks to
  Stephan Epstein for reporting this one).
- Activated detection of radio channels (to avoid reports about "channels not
  being detected that used to be detected with the 'scan' utility or the
  original 'autopid' patch ;-).
- Channels with a zero VPID no longer write a PPID into channels.conf.
- Short channel names are now only stored if they actually differ from the
  full name.
- The EPG scan now scans newly found transponders together with already existing
  ones.
- The "Red" button in the "Setup/EPG" menu can now be used to force an EPG
  scan on a single DVB card system (see MANUAL for details).
- The new SVDRP command 'SCAN' can be used to force  an EPG scan on a single
  DVB card system (see MANUAL under Setup/EPG for details).
- Fixed handling PID changes in 'Transfer Mode'.
- Excess blanks in channel names read from the SDT are now removed.
- Fixed wrong parameter settings when scanning NITs for terrestrial transponders
  (thanks to Christian Tramnitz for pointing out this one).
- Fixed some out of bounds parameter settings when scanning NITs for cable
  and satellite transponders.
- Added 'libsi' include files to the 'include' directory, so that plugins can
  use them (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Now only processing NITs that contain the transponder they are actually
  broadcast on.
- Fixed setting the source type for newly detected terrestrial transponders
  (thanks to Christian Tramnitz for his support in debugging this).

- Fixed a lockup in the EPG scanner when no non-primary device was available
  (thanks to Martin Holst for reporting this one).
- Fixed a compiler warning about virtual cConfig::Load() functions (thanks to
  Lauri Tischler for reporting this one).
- Fixed a warning about character comparison in libsi/si.c (thanks to Lauri
  Tischler for reporting this one).
- The new parameter "Update channels" in the "Setup/DVB" menu can be used to
  control if and how channels will be automatically updated (see MANUAL).
  This has already been part of the 'autopid' patch by Andreas Schultz and has
  now been adopted.
- Fixed a crash in case there is no DVB hardware present (thanks to Sascha
  Volkenandt for reporting this one).
- Changed calculation of channel ids to make it work for tv stations that use
  the undefined NID value 0 (thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one).
- Enhanced the SDT filter to handle multi part sections.
- Added support for selecting preferred EPG languages (based upon a patch by
  Teemu Rantanen).
- Fixed a 'const' in libsi/si.h (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Fixed the 'su' call in 'runvdr' to make it work on systems that require the
  user name to appear before the command option (thanks to Robert Huitl).
- Fixed testing for matching section filters in case they are turned off (thanks
  to Marcel Wiesweg).
- In case of incomplete sections an error message is now logged only every 10
  seconds.
- Fixed a possible NULL pointer access in cEITScanner::Process() (thanks to
  Andreas Kool).
- The actual transponder data is now taken from the NIT and existing channels
  are adjusted if necessary. If the NIT contains new transponders, they are
  scanned for channels during the next EPG scan. Note that only the satellite
  branches are tested, cable and terrestrial need to be tested by somebody who
  actually has such equipment.

- Updated the required driver version in INSTALL (thanks to Jens Groth for
  reporting this one).
- Fixed missing channel info after an incomplete channel group switch (thanks
  to Andreas Trauer).
- Fixed handling a channels.conf that contains a ":@nnn" line as its last entry
  (thanks to Ralf Klueber).
- Fixed detecting the /dev/videoN devices for GRAB in case there are others
  before the DVB devices (thanks to Andreas Kool).
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Markus Hardt).
- Fixed handling rc key learning in case cRemote::Initialize() returns 'false'
  (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed initializing the highlight area in cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Sven Goethel).
- Now trying to get a timer's channel without RID when loading 'timers.conf'
  (thanks to Thomas Rausch).
- Removed the unused 0x73 (TOT) filter in eit.c (thanks to Andreas Trauer).
- Fixed extracting the ES data in cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Stefan
  Huelswitt).
- Added MPEG1 handling to cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Thomas
  Heiligenmann).
- Changed the default "Lifetime" to 99, which means that recordings will
  never be deleted automatically in case the disk runs full (suggested by
  Oliver Endriss). Note that in an existing VDR installation the current
  value as set in 'setup.conf' will still be used - this change only affects
  new VDR installations.
- Edited recordings will now never be deleted automatically if the disk runs
  full (suggested by Emil Naepflein).
- Channel IDs are now checked when reading 'channels.conf' to avoid later
  problems with timers.

- Fixed dropping out of replay mode while viewing a recording that is still
  going on (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting and helping to debug this
  one).
- Fixed handling ':' characters in channel names when reading channels.conf
  (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one).
- Fixed the URL to the 'Doxygen' tool in INSTALL (thanks to Dirk Essl).
- Removed the obsolete chapter "Stopping a recording on the primary DVB interface"
  from MANUAL.
- Completed Dutch language texts (thanks to Hans Dingemans).
- Made 'diseqc.conf' a required file only if Setup.DiSEqC is activated (thanks to
  Thomas Schmidt).
- VDR now starts up even if 'keymacros.conf' references a plugin that is currently
  not loaded (suggested by Alexander Wetzel).
- Fixed checking for VIDEO_STREAM_S in cRemux::SetBrokenLink() (thanks to Oliver
  Endriss).
- Added 'repeat' function to keys '7' and '9' ("jump to mark") in replay mode
  (suggested by Oliver Endriss).
- Made cOsdMenu::Display() virtual, which allows plugins to do some additional
  processing after calling the base class function (suggested by Jan Rieger).
- Updated 'ca.conf' (thanks to Marco Franceschetti).

- Fixed the TS to PES repacker so that it works with MPEG1 streams (thanks to
  Andreas Kool).
- Fixed keeping track of the current channel number when moving channels in
  the "Channels" menu (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting this one).
- Made the plugin library directory configurable via Make.config (thanks to
  Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed scaling SPU bitmaps in Letterbox mode when playing NTSC material.
  In order to do this, the cDevice was given a new member function GetVideoSystem().
- Fixed two warnings when compiling with gcc 3.3.1 (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for
  reporting this).
- Made crc32() a static function in libdtv/libsi/si_parser.c to avoid a name clash
  when using other libraries that also implement a function by that name (thanks
  to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one).
- Fixed staying off the end of an ongoing recording while replaying in time shift
  mode (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one).
- VDR now stops with exit status 2 if one of the configuration files can't be
  read correctly at program startup (suggested by Rainer Zocholl).
- Fixed a crash when starting "Pause live video" twice within the same minute on
  the same channel.
- Fixed freezing replay if a timer starts while in Transfer Mode from the device
  used by the timer, and the timer needs a different transponder (thanks to
  Richard Robson for reporting this one).
- Fixed toggling channels with the '0' key (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting
  this one).
- Made the "Zap timeout" (the time until a channel counts as "previous" for
  switching with '0') a setup variable, available in "Setup/Miscellaneous"
  (suggested by Helmut Auer).
- Removing deleted recordings faster than normal when cutting, to avoid running
  out of disk space (thanks to Manfred Schmidt-Voigt for reporting this one).

- Fixed a bug in channel switching after Left/Right has been pressed (thanks to
  Michael Walle for reporting this one).
- Improved channel switching in case of numerical input by switching as soon as
  the channel is unique (suggested by Jaakko Hyvätti).
- Fixed creating a new channel in the "Channels" menu in case the 'channels.conf'
  contains ':@nnn' lines with no text (thanks to Guy Roussin for reporting this
  one).
- Changed the behaviour of the '0' key in normal viewing mode so that a channel
  only qualifies as "previous" if it has been selected for at least 3 seconds
  (suggested by Thomas Keil).
- Now clearing the channel info display when entering numeric keys to switch
  channels (suggested by Guy Roussin).
- Added missing I18N entry for "Ppid" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling the color buttons in the "Edit channel" menu (thanks to Thomas
  Keil for reporting this one).
- Fixed an occasional "Broken pipe" error in SVDRP connections (thanks to Gerhard
  Steiner for reporting this one).
- Fixed checking CA capabilities with the dvb-kernel driver (thanks to Kenneth
  Aafløy).
- Fixed selecting the device, because sometimes an FTA recording terminated a
  CA recording (thanks to Emil Naepflein).
- Fixed a possible crash in case a VFAT file system is used without compiling VDR
  with VFAT=1 (thanks to Ernst Fürst for reporting this one).
- Now the program uses the values of VIDEODIR and PLUGINDIR defined in Makefile
  or Make.config as defaults (thanks to Steffen Barszus).
- Added the usual menu timeout to the CAM menus.

- Some corrections to the French OSD texts (thanks to Olivier Jacques).
- Fixed some missing commas in i18n.c (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos for
  reporting this problem).
- Some corrections to the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Niko Tarnanen and Rolf
  Ahrenberg).
- Completed the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Antonio Ospite).
- Fixed breaking off replay in case the user hits "Play" or "Pause" too soon after
  going into "Pause live video" mode (thanks to Karim Afifi for reporting ths one).
- Some corrections to the Catalanian OSD texts (thanks to Jordi Vilà).
- Single event timers are now deleted if the recording they are doing is
  deleted before the timer ends.
- Fixed an uninitialized variable in cDisplayChannel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed a possible access of invalid file handles in cSIProcessor::Action()
  (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).

- Introduced the new function cPlugin::Initialize(), in order to be able to separate
  the startup of a plugin into an "early" (Initialize()) and "late" (Start()) phase
  (suggested by Andreas Schultz). Plugin authors should please read the section
  about "Getting started" in PLUGINS.html and adapt their code if applicable.
- Implemented the CableDeliverySystemDescriptor and TerrestrialDeliverySystemDescriptor
  in libdtv (thanks to Sven Grothklags and Andreas Schultz).
- Fixed keeping live video active in case the primary device doesn't have an MPEG
  decoder (thanks to Wolfgang Goeller for reporting this one).
- Implemented cDevice::ActualDevice(), which returns the actual receiving device in
  case of 'Transfer Mode', or the primary device otherwise. This may be useful for
  plugins that want to attach a cReceiver to the device where the current live video
  is actually coming from.
- Added VDRVERSNUM to config.h, which can be used by the preprocessor to check the
  actual VDR version (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Removed the WaitForPut/WaitForGet stuff from cRingBuffer, since it appears to
  no longer be necessary due to the implementation of cNonBlockingFileReader in
  dvbplayer.c. Also, the long timeout in WaitForPut caused problems with cReceivers
  that use a ring buffer and didn't immediately return from their Receive() function
  if the buffer runs full (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling EPG data where the "extended event descriptor" comes before the
  "short event" or a "time shifted event" (thanks to Jonan Santiago).
- Disabled the "Received stuffing section in EIT" log message.
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Juri Haberland).
- Avoiding short display of the "Main" menu when pressing the "Recordings" button
  or the "Back" button during replay.
- Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be
  written.
- Implemented separate PausePriority and PauseLifetime parameters for the recordings
  created when pausing live video (suggested by Alfred Zastrow).
- Changed C++ style comments in libdtv into C style to avoid warnings in gcc 3.x
  (thanks to Andreas Schultz).

- Using masks in EIT filtering to reduce the number of filters (thanks to Andreas
  Schultz).
- Fixed handling Ca descriptors (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Now only those Ca descriptors are sent to a CAM that are actually understood
  by that CAM.
- Re-enabled CAM communication during replay and on non-Ca channels. This requires
  a DVB driver with firmware version 2613 or later.
- It is now possible to do simultaneous recording and replay with a single DVB
  card, even with encrypted channels. This requires the use of the Link Layer
  firmware, version 2613 or higher; the -icam firmware is still limited to live
  encrypted channels only. Finally we have time shift for encrypted channels on
  single card systems!
- Enhanced detection of pending user I/O from CAMs to avoid sluggish reaction
  to remote control keypresses.
- Implemented "pause live video". You can now press "Menu/Yellow" or "Pause" on
  your remote control while watching live video to start an instant recording
  of the current programme and immediately start replaying that recording.
