- Remote control data is now received in a separate thread, which makes things a lot smoother. - Repeat and release of remote control keys is now explicitly distinguished. - In replay mode the search forward/back and skip functions now have two modes: Pressing the key shortly and releasing it starts the function, and pressing it again stops it. Pressing and holding down the key starts the function and releasing the key stops it. - The '@' character that marks an "instant recording" can now be turned off in the "Setup" menu (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer). - Pressing the "Back" button while replaying now stops replaying and brings up the "Recordings" menu (suggested by Carsten Koch). This can be used to easily delete a recording after watching it, or to switch to a different recording. - The "Recordings" menu now places the cursor on the last replayed recording, if that file still exists. - The "Blue" button in the "Main" menu can now be used to "Resume" a previously stopped replay session (suggested by Martin Hammerschmid). - The low and high LNB frequencies can now be changed in the "Setup" menu.

- Modified LIRC interface to better handle repeat function. - Faster OSD by first writing into a bitmap and then sending the entire bitmap to the DVB driver at once (requires the patch 'dvb.c.071.diff' to be applied against the version 0.71 DVB driver file 'dvb.c'). - When switching channels the channel is now immediately displayed, and the current/next information is shown as soon as it becomes available. - No longer displaying the year in the 'Recordings' menu to saves space for the title. - The 'Recordings' menu now displays a '*' to indicate new recordings. - Added the description of the timers.conf file to the FORMATS file (thanks to Bastian Guse). - Displaying as much as possible of the current/next info (dropping characters that would display only partially). - In normal viewing mode the '0' key now toggles between the current and the previous channel.

- The new "Setup" menu allows the user to configure several parameters to his/her personal taste (see MANUAL for details). - Workaround for a driver timing problem in cDvbApi::Cmd(), which sometimes caused the OSD to no longer be displayed (thanks to Niels de Carpentier). - Added the '-m486' option to the compiler call. - If a channel name contains a colon (':') it is now replaced with a '|' in channels.conf. - Not everybody appears to like the "page scrolling" mechanism introduced by Heino Goldenstein in version 0.61, so this is now configurable via the "Setup" menu. - The new 'dvbrc2vdr' tool (thanks to Plamen Ganev!) can be used to convert 'dvbrc' channel files into 'vdr' format. - Channels can now be "grouped" (thanks to Plamen Ganev!). See MANUAL for details. There is currently no mechanism to define and maintain "Channel groups" via the menu, so you'll have to insert "Channel group" control lines into your 'channels.conf' file manually (for example with a text editor). - Started a new file named FORMATS with a description of the various file formats used by VDR. - The "Primary DVB interface" can now be chosen via the "Setup" menu. - Display of the "current/next" information when switching channels can now be disabled via the "Setup" menu. - The "current/next" display now only shows those lines that actually contain information. - When directly selecting a channel by entering the channel number, the digits entered so far together with the name of that channel are displayed on the OSD (suggested by Martin Hammerschmid).
