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->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 <hostname> '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. |
