- The EIT scanning thread is now locked when switching channels to avoid problems.
- Encrypted channels can now be selected even without knowing the PNR (however, it
is still necessary for the EPG info).
+
+2001-02-24: Version 0.71
+
+- Fixed 'Transfer Mode' in cases where a non-primary interface was switched to
+ a channel that only the primary interface can receive (which could happen in
+ the EPG scanner).
+- The EPG scanner now starts with the first channel (it used to start with the
+ second channel).
+- Reacitvated setting the PNR.
+- Adapted the frame scanning to the new muxing of the driver.
+- The new compile time option REMOTE=NONE can be used to compile VDR without
+ any remote control support (for applications where it shall be controlled
+ exclusively via SVDRP).
+- The new command line option -D can be used to define which DVB interfaces
+ a certain instance of VDR shall use.
+- The "Left" and "Right" keys are now used to page up and down in lists (thanks
+ to Martin Hammerschmid). Since the "Timers" menu already uses these keys to
+ (de)activate timers, this functionality is not available there.
+- The "Main" and "Commands" menu now support "hotkeys", which means that if the
+ first non-blank character of a menu item is a digit in the range 1..9, that
+ item can be selected by pressing the respective numeric key on the remote
+ control.
+- The channel data in 'channels.conf' now contains the teletext PID (thanks to
+ Dave Chapman). Existing files will be read normally (and the teletext PID set
+ to 0), but once they are written back (due to some channel editing) the file
+ will have the new format.
+- The EPG scanner now scans each transponder only once per cycle.
+- Deleted recordings are now automatically removed from disk after a while (not
+ only when disk space is being needed for a new recording).
+- Fixed repeat function in LIRC remote control.
+- Changed the MAXDVBAPI macro in dvbapi.c to 4 in order to directly support the
+ maximum possible number of DVB cards.
+- The 'Ca' parameter in the default 'channels.conf' has been changed from '2'
+ to '3' because the VDR prototype now has 3 DVB cards (and currently the CAM
+ module only works if it is inserted into the last DVB card).
+- The "Now", "Next" and "Schedule" menus now remember the current channel and
+ restore the list when switching between them.
+- The "Green" button in the "Recordings" menu can now be used to rewind a
+ recording and play it from the very beginning.
+- Fixed handling ':' in timer filenames and '\n' in timer summaries (see FORMATS).
+- When removing recordings empty directories are now removed from the video
+ directory.
+- Added the "schnitt" tools from Matthias Schniedermeyer.
+- New SVDRP command MESG to display a short message on the OSD.
+- The Perl script 'svdrpsend.pl' can be used to send SVDRP commands to VDR.
+- SVDRP can now immediately reuse the same port if VDR is restarted.
+- SVDRP now has a timeout after which the connection is automatically closed
+ (default is 300 seconds, can be changed in "Setup").
+- The compile time switch VFAT can be used to make VDR avoid the ':' character
+ in file names (VFAT can't handle them). Do 'make VFAT=1' to enable this.
+- Support for DVB-C (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke and Peter Hofmann).
+ See the INSTALL file for more information about the use of VDR with cable.
+- Fixed an occasional segfault in the EIT processor.
+- A value of '0' for the EPGScanTimeout setup parameter now completely turns off
+ scanning for EPG data on both single and multiple card systems.
+- New setup parameter "PrimaryLimit" that allows to prevent timers from using the
+ primary DVB interface in multi card systems. Default value is 0, which means
+ that every timer may use the primary interface.
+- The 'active' field of a timer will now be explicitly set to '1' if the user
+ modifies an active timer (see FORMATS for details).
+- The new command line option -w can be used to activate a watchdog that makes
+ VDR exit in case the main program loop does not respond for more than the
+ given number of seconds. This is mainly useful in combination with the new
+ 'runvdr' script that restarts VDR in case is has exited.
