<id>c23992b807aca1cea08193b773f80eee0cb8f829</id>
<content type='text'>
- Removed leftover 'needsBufferReserve' variable from cTransfer (thanks to Marco
  Schlüßler).
- Fixed setting "No title" for broken event data (reported by Ronny Kornexl).
- Fixed channel up/down switching on single card systems (reported by Stefan
  Huelswitt).
- Fixed handling "pending" timers that blocked others that actually could record
  (reported by Thomas Koch).
- Speeded up cVideoRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added an 'Id' parameter to cDevice::PlayAudio() to allow plugins to easier
  process the audio data (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added Czech language texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta).
  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 21
  different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 21 versions for each of
  your texts.
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
- Fixed auto advance in string entry fields when pressing Up/Down in insert mode
  (reported by Udo Richter).
- Fixed handling the "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" option when set to 'yes' in
  case a replay is active (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Improved cUnbufferedFile; USE_FADVISE is now defined in tools.c by default, so
  if you don't want to use "fadvise" you need to comment out that line (thanks to
  Artur Skawina).
- Fixed a missing ',' in the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- cDevice::Transferring() can now be used to determine whether the (primary)
  device is currently playing in Transfer Mode (based on a suggestion by
  Reinhard Nissl).
- The 'runvdr' script no longer uses the $VDRUSR environment variable to set
  the user id under which 'vdr' shall run. Just add the '-u username' option
  when you call 'runvdr'.
- Fixed multiple entries of the same subdirectory in the "Recordings" menu
  (reported by Christian Jacobsen).
- Enabled generating a core dump if VDR is run with a different user id (thanks
  to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed handling the "Blue" key in the "Schedule" menu for the current channel
  (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Renamed the Makefile target 'plugins-clean' to 'clean-plugins' (suggested by
  Sebastian Frei).
- Made all font and image data 'const' (thanks to Darren Salt).
- Fixed scrolling with Up/Down in case there are non-selectable items at the
  beginning or end of the menu (reported by Helmut Auer).
- Added cSkin::GetTextAreaWidth() and cSkin::GetTextAreaFont(), so that a plugin
  that wants to do special text formatting can do so (thanks to Alexander Rieger).

<id>da948a50d2318fd9c818a4b969b74555ce577b1e</id>
<content type='text'>
- Fixed handling second audio and Dolby Digital PIDs for encrypted channels
  (was broken in version 1.3.37).
- Improved TS/PES conversion to better handle lost TS packets (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Limited the frequency of log messages from the cRepackers.
- Now using the gettid() syscall to get a thread's pid, so that we get a
  useful value on NPTL systems (suggested by Johannes Stezenbach).
- Fixed the RCU remote control handling to avoid problems with NPTL (thanks
  to Andreas Share for reporting a lockup with the RCU on NPTL systems).
- When displaying the amount of free disk space, the space consumed by
  recordings that have been "deleted" but not yet actually "removed" is now
  taken into account (suggested by Christian Vogt).
- Now avoiding unnecessary disk access when checking if there are deleted
  recordings that need to be removed (reported by Carsten Koch).
- Fixed handling the DELETEDLIFETIME when removing deleted recordings. Now
  a deleted recording is retained at least DELETEDLIFETIME seconds before
  actually removing it.
  The value of DELETEDLIFETIME has been changed to 300. So after (possibly
  inadvertently) deleting a recording, there will be at least 5 minutes
  in which it can be recovered (unless a new recording immediately requires
  the disk space). The count starts again at 0 every time VDR is started.
- Fixed a possible crash when displaying the "Low disk space!" message from
  a background thread (thanks to Christof Steininger).
- Fixed handling OSD areas that have invalid sizes (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added a mutex to AssertFreeDiskSpace() to make sure calls from foreground
  and background threads won't interfere.
- The main menu now dynamically updates its contents in case an instant
  recording or replay stops, etc.
- The version number of EPG events is now also stored in the epg.data file
  (thanks to Kendy Kutzner).
- EPG events that are no longer in the currently broadcasted data stream are
  now automatically deleted.
- Removed an invalid access to Event-&gt;schedule in cSchedule::DelEvent().
- Modified cSchedule::Cleanup() (events are always sorted by time).
- Schedules are now cleaned up once every hour (not only at 05:00).
- The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus are now updated if a timer
  is set or modified.
- cTimer no longer has its own 'schedule' member, it rather uses that of the
  event it has been set to.
- The "Red" button in the "Schedule", "What's on now/next?" and "Event" menus
  now immediately creates a timer for the selected event and marks it with 'T'.
  If the event is already marked with 'T', the "Red" button opens the "Edit
  timer" menu for that timer.
- Removing deleted recordings is now done in a separate thread.
- Dropped the unused "stop recording on primary interface" stuff.
- Converting a grabbed image to JPEG is now done with the new function
  RgbToJpeg() (see tools.h).
- The SVDRP command GRAB now determines the image type (JPEG or PNM) from the
  extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm") of the given file name. The explicit
  'jpeg' or 'pnm' parameter is still accepted for backward compatibility, but
  has no meaning any more.
- The function cDevice::GrabImage() no longer writes the grabbed image to a
  file, but rather returns a pointer to the image in memory. The wrapper
  function cDevice::GrabImageFile() can be used to write the grabbed image
  directly to a file. Plugins that used the old version of cDevice::GrabImage()
  need to be adapted to the new interface.
- The new class cBase64Encoder (see tools.h) can be used to encode data in
  base64 (thanks to Bob Withers for publishing his Base64 class).
- The SVDRP command GRAB now writes the image data to the SVDRP connection
  (encoded in base64) if the given file name consists of only the file
  extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm"), or if only "-" is given as file
  name (based on a suggestion from Darren Salt).
  A simple way of viewing a grabbed image on a remote host is:

  svdrpsend.pl -d &lt;hostname&gt; 'grab -' | sed -n -e 's/^216-//p' -e '1ibegin-base64 644 -' -e '$a====' | uudecode | display -

- The new command line option '-g' must be given if the SVDRP command GRAB
  shall be allowed to write image files to disk. The parameter to this option
  must be the full path name of an existing directory, without any "..", double
  '/' or symlinks. By default, or if "-g- is given, grabbing to files is
  not allowed any more because of potential security risks.
- Modified the way the SVDRP command GRAB writes the grabbed image to a file
  to avoid a security hole (CAN-2005-0071, reported by Javier Fernández-Sanguino
  Peña):
  + The file handle is now opened in a way that it won't follow symbolic links
    (suggested by Darren Salt).
  + The given file name is now canonicalized, so that it won't contain any
    ".." or symlinks (suggested by Darren Salt).
  + Grabbing to files is limited to the directory given in the the command
    line option '-g'. By default grabbing to files is not allowed any more.
- Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Changed all "illegal" to "invalid" in error messages (there's nothing "illegal"
  in VDR ;-).
- When started as user 'root' VDR now switches to a lesser privileged user id,
  keeping the capability to set the system time (based on a patch from Ludwig
  Nussel). By default the user id 'vdr' is used, which can be changed through
  the new command line option '-u'. Note that for security reasons VDR will no
  longer run as user 'root' (unless you explicitly start it with '-u root',
  but this is not recommended!). The 'runvdr' script has been changed to
  use the '-u' option.
- Changed the API of the functions cStatus::Recording() and cStatus::Replaying(),
  so that they can provide the full file name of the recording. Plugins that use
  these (or the related cStatus::Msg...() functions) need to be adapted
  (suggested by Andreas Brugger).
- The DVB devices now retune (and, if applicable, resend the DiSEqC data) if
  the lock is lost (based on a patch from Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling multi byte key sequences in cKbdRemote (based on a patch from
  Jürgen Schneider).
- Removed unused variables in skinclassic.c and skinsttng.c (thanks to Marco
  Schlüßler).
- Made the static cControl functions thread safe (thanks to Patrick Fischer).
- Fixed initializing pthread_mutexattr_t and pthread_rwlockattr_t to avoid
  warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed incrementing the 'state' variables in the repacker classes in remux.c
  to avoid warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (reported by Ville Skyttä).
- The Makefile now reports a summary of failed plugins (thanks to Udo Richter).
- The cTimer constructor can now take an optional cChannel (suggested by
  Patrick Fischer).
- Fixed setting the main thread id if VDR is running as a daemon.
- Fixed handling TS packets in cTS2PES (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added cTimer::SetPriority() to set a timer's priority (suggested by Kendy Kutzner).
- Added cMenuEditStrItem::InEditMode() (suggested by Christian Wieninger).
- Now using FE_READ_STATUS to read the current frontend status (suggested by
  Holger Wächtler).
- The "Menu" key now behaves consistently. If there is anything on the OSD, it
  is closed when the "Menu" key is pressed, and if there is nothing on the OSD,
  the "Menu" key opens the main menu (suggested by Luca Olivetti).
- The new option "Setup/OSD/Timeout requested channel info" can be used to turn
  off the automatic timeout of the channel display in case it was invoked by
  a press of the "Ok" key (suggested by Thiemo Gehrke).
- A message is now given when an instant recording is started (suggested by
  Helmut Auer). Actually the code was already there, just commented out - don't
  remember why it wasn't active...
- Removed an obsolete "Summary" text from i18n.c and preceded all key definition
  texts with "Key$" to avoid duplicates (reported by Lucian Muresan).
- Preceded all button texts with "Button$".
- Removed obsolete "Eject", "Language" and "scanning recordings..." texts.
- Added missing #include "thread.h" to dvbspu.c (reported by Gavin Hamill).
- Disabled the use of "fadvise" in cUnbufferedFile because there have been
  several reports that it causes more problems than it solves (suggested by
  Petri Hintukainen). If you want to use "fadvise", you can activate the line
  //#define USE_FADVISE
  in tools.c.
- Removed unused 'offset' member from cOsdItem.
- In the "Channels" menu the numeric keys now position the cursor to the channel
  with the given number (see MANUAL, section "Remote Control Keys", note (3) for
  details).
- The "Mark/Move" function in the "Channels" menu now also works in the non-numeric
  sort modes.
- The default cOsdObject::Show() now automatically calls cOsdMenu::Display() if
  this is a menu.
- The new "Info" key brings up information on the currently viewed programme
  or recording. For a live programme this is the same as "Schedule/Ok", i.e. the
  description of the current EPG event. For a recording this is the same as shown
  by the "Info" button in the "Recordings" menu. Plugins that implement players
  can overwrite their cControl::GetInfo() function to show their own info (see
  PLUGINS.html for details). Pressing the "Info" key again while the info is
  displayed will close the OSD. In order to assign this new key to an existing
  remote control setup, the remote.conf file needs to be deleted and VDR has
  to be restarted to go through the process of learning the remote control keys.
- Any cReceivers still attached to a cDevice when that device switches to a
  different transponder are now automatically detached (suggested by Patrick
  Fischer).
- The "flags" of a timer are now handled as an unsigned integer value. In order
  to do this, the interface of cMenuEditBitItem also had to be changed.
- In string entry fields (like, e.g., the file name of a recording) the characters
  can now be entered by pressing the numeric keys, the same way as on a
  telephone keypad (based on the "Easy Input" patch from Marcel Schaeben).
- Fixed the "Day" field of the "Edit timer" menu when pressing '0' to switch
  from "single shot" to "weekly", followed by the "Right" key (reported by
  Andreas Böttger).
- The file 'ca.conf' is obsolete and has been removed.
- Revised all descriptions regarding CICAM.
- Adapted c(Dvb)Device::ProvidesCa() to the dynamic CA handling.
- Added a mutex to synchronize cDevice::PlayPesPacket() and SetCurrentAudioTrack()
  (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added a SleepMs() in cRecorder::Action() to avoid a busy loop (thanks to Ingo
  Schneider).
- Cleaned up some trailing white space.

- Added compiler options "-fPIC -g" to all plugins (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed initializing the day index when editing the weekday parameter of a
  repeating timer (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- No longer removing superfluous hyphens in EPG data - would become too
  language dependent to handle all kinds of exceptions.
- Modified switching to Dolby Digital audio in live mode, if the driver
  and firmware can handle live DD without the need of a Transfer Mode (thanks
  to Werner Fink). Live DD mode requires a full featured DVB card and a
  LinuxDVB driver with firmware version 0x2622 or higher. Older versions will
  use Transfer Mode just like before.
- Implemented handling of the "CA PMT Reply" for CAMs (thanks to Marco
  Schlüßler for figuring out some obscure length bytes in the CA PMT Reply
  data of AlphaCrypt CAMs).
- Some preparations for being able to record several encrypted channels from
  the same transponder at the same time (or record and view different encrypted
  channels), provided the CAM in use can handle this. This is work in progress
  and isn't actively used, yet.
- Fixed SetProgress() in the 'skincurses' plugin in case Total is 0 (reported
  by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Added a copy constructor to cString and fixed its assignment operator
  (thanks to Holger Brunn).
- The new function Skins.QueueMessage() can be called from a background thread
  to queue a message for display. See VDR/skins.h for details.
- The SVDRP command MESG uses the new message queueing facility, so MESG
  commands may now be executed at any time, and the message will be displayed
  (no more "pending message").

- Fixed a leftover 'summary.vdr' in vdr.5 (thanks to Peter Bieringer for reporting
  this one).
- Fixed opening recording folders in case the last replayed recording no longer
  exists (reported by Udo Richter).
- Fixed an unjustified "Error while accessing recording!" after deleting a recording
  from a subfolder.
- Fixed handling the '.update' file in case the video directory is not at the default
  location (reported by Jon Burgess).
- Fixed a crash in cConfig::Load() when compiling on the PPC (thanks to Sascha
  Volkenandt).
- Fixed the FATALERRNO macro to check for a non-zero errno value (reported by Marco
  Schlüßler).
- Added a check against MAXOSDAREAS in cOsd::CanHandleAreas() (reported by Udo
  Richter).
- Fixed setting current menu item if the first one is non-selectable.
- cOsdItem::cOsdItem() now has a 'Selectable' parameter.
- Improved displaying 'sub-title' and 'bottom text' in the CAM menu.
- Added status message "Resetting CAM..." for an immediate feedback when the CAM
  reset has been triggered.
- The CAM menu now automatically updates itself in case of a progress display (as
  used, for instance, when updating the firmware via satellite).
- Now skipping some funny characters sent by some CAMs at the beginning of strings.
- The CAM menu is now completely closed when pressing the Menu key while inside
  a sub menu.
- Reduced MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES in ci.c to 2 (waiting too long made the whole thing
  appear hanging).
- Added status message "Opening CAM menu..." for an immediate feedback when the CAM
  menu has been requested.
- Speeded up initial opening of the CAM menu.
- Fixed handling of menus with no selectable items.
- The character 0x8A in CAM menu strings is now mapped to a real newline.
- The 'sub-title' and 'bottom text' in the CAM menu can now consist of several lines.
- Improved the CAM enquiry menu.

- Fixed two errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Fixed converting arbitrarily formatted summary.vdr files (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Fixed handling color buttons in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Added cChannel::LinkChannels() and cChannel::RefChannel() (suggested by Helmut Auer).
  Note that VDR itself doesn't actually use the linked channels, yet, so there is
  no guarantee that this really works under all circumstances.
- Added a missing include statement to the 'sky' plugin (thanks to Alfred Zastrow
  for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling key macros with keys after @plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for
  reporting this one).
- Fixed error handling in cCiTransportConnection::RecvTPDU() (thanks to Georg Acher
  for reporting this one).
- Removed obsolete 'shift' code in device.[hc].
- The SVDRP command DELR no longer triggers a complete reload of the global Recordings
  list, but rather deletes that particular entry.
- The list of recordings is now read in a separate thread, resulting in a faster
  startup if there are a great many of recordings, or the disk(s) have to spin up.
  If the Recordings menu is opened while the list of recordings is still being read,
  the menu will be updated accordingly.
  Plugins that access the global Recordings variable should lock the thread
  by putting something like

    cThreadLock RecordingsLock(&amp;Recordings);

  into the respective code block. Thanks to Carsten Koch for his help in testing
  and debugging this.
- The 'new' indicator in the Recordings menu is now kept up-to-date (thanks to
  Thomas Günther).
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- The '.update' file in the video directory is now touched when a recording is
  added or deleted, so that other VDR instances can update their lists (thanks to
  Alexander Rieger).
- Made the function ExchangeChars() public (suggested by Lucian Muresan).

<id>d5c85f5ff84ffea666c63eca5dbe04632283cb04</id>
<content type='text'>
- Added some missing braces in remux.c (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one).
- Removed unused MAINMENUENTRY from svdrpdemo.c (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting
  this one).
- Fixed appending sequence end code in cDvbPlayer::Goto() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed syncing in cRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Now always using stream id 0xE0 for the video stream, to avoid problems with
  post processing tools that choke on different ids (suggested by Reinhard Nissl).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed cDvbPlayer::SkipFrames() to properly handle radio recordings (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil).
- Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Made LIRC command parsing more robust (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Introduced a separate 'plugins-install' target in the Makefile (thanks to Daniel
  Thompson).
- Re-introduced the code that waits for a tuner lock in VDR/device.c, since
  apparently some users actually need it. It's not active by default, you'll have
  to define the WAIT_FOR_TUNER_LOCK macro in that file if you need it (suggested
  by Malcolm Caldwell).
- Adjusted the Makefile to the dvb-kernel driver on kernel 2.6 and up (thanks to
  Lauri Tischler).
- Repeat keys are now ignored when waiting for a keypress to cancel an operation
  (thanks to Marko Mäkelä).
- The main menu function of a plugin can now be activated through a key macro of
  the form "@plugin" even if that plugin doesn't have a main menu entry (using
  part of a patch by Hardy Flor, which originally implemented calling plugins from
  SVDRP).
- The menu timeout handling is now done centrally in the main program loop.
- Added missing help for the 'help' keyword in the SVDRP command PLUG.
- The main menu function of a plugin can now be called programmatically through
  the static function cRemote::CallPlugin().
- The SVDRP command PLUG now has a new option 'main' which can be used to initiate
  a call to the main menu function of a plugin (using part of a patch by Hardy Flor).
- The new command line option '--vfat' can be used to make VDR encode special
  characters in recording file names, even if it wasn't compiled with VFAT=1
  (suggested by Peter Bieringer). The compile time option VFAT still exists and
  creates a VDR that always behaves as if it were called with '--vfat'.
- Replaced the ':' delimiter between hour and minute in recording file names with
  a '.' under Linux, too. Existing recordings with ':' as delimiter will still work.
- Implemented the SVDRP command MOVC (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Added support for multiple audio language codes in ISO639LanguageDescriptors to
  'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Changed the audio PID language codes to hold up to two 3 letter codes, separated
  by '+', to store separate languages broadcast in two channel audio mode.
- If the preferred audio language is broadcast on a PID that has two different
  languages in the two stereo channels, the audio channel is now properly set when
  switching to such a channel (thanks to Mogens Elneff for his help in testing this).
- Fixed some typos in MANUAL (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed the default value for "Setup/EPG bugfix level" (thanks to Ville Skyttä for
  reporting this one).
- Fixed defining timers that only differ in the day of week (thanks to Patrick
  Rother for reporting this one).
- Fixed converting summary.vdr files that would result in a very long 'short text'
  (thanks to Carsten Koch).
- Implemented a hash for the channels to reduce the system load in the EIT scanning
  thread (based on a patch by Georg Acher).

- Added missing German OSD texts for 'Audio language'.
- The Setup/CICAM menu now only contains the devices that actually have a CI and
  dynamically detects the number of slots a CI provides.
- Implemented cAudioRepacker for better handling of audio PES packets (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Modified handling of audio packets for radio channels in remux.c (thanks to
  Reinhard Nissl).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Fixed the EPG scan, so that it doesn't use the primary device if that is
  currently in Transfer-Mode from itself (thanks to Marcus Hilbrich for a bug
  report that lead to this).
- Removed the TUNER_LOCK_TIMEOUT in cDevice::AttachReceiver() since it caused more
  trouble than it fixed.
- Fixed detecting short channel names for "Kabel Deutschland", who uses a comma
  as delimiter (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Moved cMenuEditTimer and cMenuEvent to menu.h so that plugins can use it (suggested
  by Thomas Günther).
- The new static function cString::sprintf() can be used to easily create a formatted
  string.
- Plugins can now implement their own SVDRP commands (based on a patch from Hardy
  Flor). See PLUGINS.html, section "SVDRP commands" for details. The SVDRP commands
  of a plugin are accessed through the new SVDRP command PLUG.
  See PLUGINS/src/svdrpdemo for an example of how to use this feature.
- The new SVDRP command PLAY can be used to start replaying a recording (thanks to
  Hardy Flor).
- The new SVDRP command EDIT can be used to start the editing process of a recording
  (based on the CUTR patch by Harald Milz).

- Improved responsiveness inside CAM menus.
- Added handling of the 'Close MMI' tag to avoid error log messages with CAMs
  that actually use it.
- Now waiting at startup until all DVB devices are ready. This includes having
  all CAMs initialized and ready to decrypt, so that no more "channel not
  available" happens if VDR is started with the current channel being an encrypted
  one, or a timer on such a channel hits right after starting VDR.
- Fixed cVideoRepacker to better handle errors in data (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed cDvbTuner to avoid lockups on NPTL systems (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Added 'Service' functions to the plugin interface (thanks to Udo Richter).
  See PLUGINS.html, section "Custom services" for details.
- Replaced the get/put_unaligned() macros from &lt;asm/unaligned.h&gt; with own inline
  functions to avoid problems on platforms that don't provide these (thanks to
  David Woodhouse for his help).

- Added a sleep in cDvbPlayer::Action() in case there is no data to send to the
  device, which avoids a busy loop on very fast machines (thanks to Martin Wache).
- Modified the description of cDevice::Poll() to avoid misunderstandings.
- Updated Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor).
- cDvbPlayer::Goto() now appends a Sequence End Code to get the image shown
  immediately with softdevices (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Reactivated cVideoRepacker in remux.c after some fixes (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Removed the fix for handling VPS timers, so that they only record if the event
  they are assigned to actually has the given VPS time. This has caused repeating
  VPS timers to stop recording prematurely.
- Avoiding duplicate components in EPG events when reading epg.data or in the
  PUTE SVDRP command (thanks to Olaf Titz for reporting this one).
- Added the command line options '--lirc', '--rcu' and '--no-kbd' to allow setting
  the remote control at runtime (based on a patch by Darren Salt).
- Now checking whether timers or channels are currently being edited via the menu
  before making changes through SVDRP (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting a
  problem with this).
- Files and directories are now created with rights according to the shell's
  umask settings (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Fixed the cChannel copy constructor (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out
  a problem with it).
- Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access with audio language ids (thanks to
  Matthias Lenk for reporting, and Udo Richter for suggesting a fix).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added missing storing of the MenuScrollPage parameter (thanks to Frank Krömmelbein).
- Added cRemux::SetTimeouts() for better use of cRemux in a single thread (thanks
  to Udo Richter for reporting a problem with this).
- Modified cEITScanner::Process() so that it uses the primary device if it is
  replaying and is the only device that provides the given transponder, and that
  a forced EPG scan works even if EPG scan timeout is set to 0 (thanks to
  Bernhard Stegmaier for reporting a problem with this).
- Fixed cDvbSpuBitmap::putPixel() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed setting system time to avoid time jumps in case of faulty data (thanks
  to Andreas Böttger).
- Fixed a memory leak in the SVDRP command LSTE (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).

- 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).
