- Increased the time between checking the CAM status to 500ms to avoid problems
with some CAMs (reported by Arthur Konovalov).

+2008-09-06: Version 1.7.1
+
+- Adapted the tuning code to the new DVBFE_SET_DELSYS API (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
+ VDR now uses the driver from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto_plus.
+- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
+- Removed obsolete $(NCURSESLIB) from the Makefile.
+- Implemented handling the standard component descriptor for AC3 (stream=4), as it
+ will soon be used by the German ARD channels (thanks to Michael Pennewiß for
+ advance information about this change). The previously used "Premiere pseudo
+ standard" (stream=2, type=5) still works, but has apparently been wrongfully used
+ by broadcasters from the beginning.
+- Added missing description of the 'S' channel parameter to vdr.5 (reported by
+ Reinhard Nissl).
+- The SVDRP signon message now indicates the character encoding in use, as in
+ "220 video SVDRP VideoDiskRecorder 1.7.1; Fri May 2 16:17:10 2008; ISO-8859-1".
+ This may be useful for instance for external tools that provide EPG data, so that
+ they can correctly encode the strings.
+- No longer calling FcFini() to avoid problems with older (broken) versions of
+ fontconfig (suggested by Edgar Toernig).
+- Removed the compile time option VFAT to allow users of precompiled binary
+ distributions to have full control over whether or not to use the --vfat option
+ at runtime (suggested by Michael Nork).
+- First step towards switching to TS (Transport Stream) as recording format:
+ + The new function cDevice::PlayTs() is used to play TS packets.
+ + The new functions cDevice::PlayTsVideo() and cDevice::PlayTsAudio()
+ are used to play video and audio TS packets, respectively.
+ + The new function cAudio::PlayTs() is used to play audio TS packets.
+ + The new class cPatPmtGenerator is used to generate a PAT/PMT pair that precedes
+ the TS data in Transfer Mode.
+ + The new class cPatPmtParser is used by cDevice to parse the PAT/PMT data in a
+ TS in order to find out which streams it contains.
+ + The new class cTsToPes is used to convert TS packets to a PES packet.
+ + cTransfer no longer uses cRemux, and doesn't run a separate thread any more.
+ It just generates a PAT/PMT and sends all received TS packets to the primary
+ device's PlayTs().
+ + Live subtitle display no longer uses a ring buffer and separate thread.
+ + cPesAssembler has been removed. Old VDR recordings only contain complete PES
+ packets.
+ + Since a TS needs to have a PAT/PMT, which requires the video stream type to
+ be explicitly given, the format of the VPID field in the channels.conf file
+ and the SVDRP commands NEWC/MODC/LSTC has been extended. The video stream type
+ now follows the VPID and optional PPID, separated by an '=' sign.
+- Updated the sources.conf file (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
+- Fixed a possible integer overflow in GetAbsTime() (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
+- Fixed a problem with calling isyslog() from within the SignalHandler() (thanks
+ to Udo Richter).
+- Replaced the Finnish language code "smi" with "suo" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
+- Fixed wrong value for TableIdBAT in libsi/si.h (thanks to Winfried Köhler).
+- Errors in config files no longer keep VDR from starting.
+- Removed unneeded include files <linux/dvb/dmx.h> und <time.h> from remux.h
+ (reported by Tobias Grimm).
