- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed a crash when setting the time transponder in the Setup menu, caused by the
new 'noneString' in cMenuEditChanItem (reported by Thomas Günther).
- Added NULL checks to some strdup() calls in menuitems.c (suggested by Darren
Salt).
- Removed the unnecessary 'value' member from cMenuEditItem.
- Fixed the initial setting of the time transponder setup parameter (reported
by Thomas Günther).
- Fixed unnecessary Set() calls in cMenuEditIntItem::ProcessKey().
- Allowing a tolerance for symbol rate values that are off by one (thanks to
Richard Lithvall).
- Added VBITeletextDescriptorTag, TeletextDescriptorTag, LocalTimeOffsetDescriptorTag
and PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor to 'libsi' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Using geteuid() to check whether VDR is running as user 'root' (suggested by
Tobias Grimm).
- Added a missing "Key$" in skincurses.c (reported by Darren Salt).
- Reintroduced the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (upon
request by Ville Skyttä, as in the initial patch from Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed the vdr.1 man page (a single DVB card can record and do live tv).
- The preferred audio language is now automatically selected when starting replay.
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- The new function cPlugin::Active() can be used by a plugin to indicate that it
is still busy and the system should not shut down or restart (based on a patch
from Sascha Volkenandt). See PLUGINS.html for details.
- Fixed setting the 'Delta' parameter when calling the shutdown script with
no active timer (reported by Helge Lenz).
- In order to make sure that plugins are compiled with the same DVB driver header
files as VDR itself, the definition of DVBDIR has been removed from the VDR
Makefile. If you are using a driver version that has its header files at a location
other than /usr/include/linux/dvb, you can define DVBDIR in the Make.config
file (see also INSTALL). Note that if you already have a Make.config file of your
own, you should add the lines
ifdef DVBDIR
INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include
endif
to its end, as in the new Make.config.template.
Any reference to DVBDIR should be removed from all plugins' Makefiles, like this:

Thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out this problem.
- Implemented kNext and kPrev keys (based on a patch from Peter Juszack).
See MANUAL for details.
- Implemented kChanPrev (from a patch from Darren Salt).
- The "Update channels" parameter in the "Setup/DVB" menu has been extended to
allow updating only the PIDs (see MANUAL for details). When updating to this
version of VDR, please verify that the setting is as you want it to be, because
the values have been shifted.
- The new APIVERSION (see config.h) now allows existing compiled plugins to be
used with newer versions of VDR, as long as there have been no changes to the
VDR header files since the last APIVERSION. Existing plugins' Makefiles should
have all references to VDRVERSION changed to APIVERSION, like this:

- If a timer is newly created from within the "Schedule" menu, and its event is
already running or has its start time within the next two minutes, it now goes
directly into the "Edit timer" menu in order to allow the user to make further
changes to timer parameters before the actual recording starts (inspired by
Christian Wieninger's "epgsearch" plugin).
- Added format check to syslog_with_tid().
- Updated the INSTALL file's section about non-VDR files in the video directory
(since version 1.3.38 disk access is done in a separate thread, so the watchdog
timer won't hit).
- Changed the behaviour of the "Use small font" setup option to *always* use the small
font if set to '2' - even if it would have been a fixed font (suggested by Ronny
Kornexl).
- No longer using characters 0x01 and 0x02 for mapping single quote and slash in
recording names (thanks to Patrick Fischer for reporting that this was a problem
with XML). The single quote is not mapped at all, and the slash is interchanged
with the tilde. Existing recordings will be handled like before, so there is
no need to actually rename them.
- The cRemote::CallPlugin() function now has a boolean return value that tells
the caller whether initiating the plugin call was successful (suggested by
Reinhard Nissl). If it returns false, another plugin call is currently pending
and the caller should try again later. This also means that the SVDRP command
PLUG can now return an error code is the call fails.
- The new function cPlugin::MainThreadHook() can be used by plugins to perform
actions in the context of the main program thread. Use this function with great
care and only of you absolutely have to! See also PLUGINS.html.

- The SVDRP command LSTT now accepts the new option 'id' to have the channels
of the timers listed with their unique channel ids instead of their numbers
(suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer).
- Added a missing #include <linux/unistd.h> to thread.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed the "plugins-clean" and "plugins-install" targets in the Makefile (thanks
to Andreas Brachold).
- Fixed handling "more than 3 byte" key sequences in cKbdRemote::ReadKeySequence()
(thanks to Peter Bieringer). If you are using the PC keyboard as remote control
input you may need to make VDR newly learn the keys by removing the remote.conf
file.
- To avoid problems with access rights when VDR shall run as 'root' it now skips
all SetCaps() and SetUser() calls when it is started as 'root' and "-u root"
is given.
- Added missing i18n entry for the "Timer" button (thanks to Ville Skyttä)
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Making the "Menu" key behave consistently has not been well received by several
users, so the new option "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" can be used to get the
old behavior back (which also is the default value of this option).
- Dropped the default vdr user. The program now always runs under the user id
it was started from, unless the '-u' option is given and it was started from
the 'root' user. If you want to have a default vdr user, you can activate and
adjust the "VDR_USER = vdr" line in your Make.config file (from the original
patch by Ludwig Nussel).
- Key macros can now be defined for all non-modeless keys (suggested by Mirko Dölle).
- Adjusted the "KEY MACROS" section of vdr.5 to the new plugin calling mechanism
introduced in version 1.3.32.
- Removed the now obsolete "ca.conf" section from vdr.1 (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Added missing description of L and R circular polarization to 'diseqc.conf'.
- Added a note about "modprobe capability" to INSTALL (suggested by Patrick Cernko).
- Fixed canonicalizing the file name in the SVDRP command GRAB to allow full path
names (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Added a missing '-' to the example for viewing a grabbed image on a remote host
(reported by Philippe Gramoullé).
- Made the "What's on now/next?" menus a lot faster by storing a pointer to each
channel's schedule in the cChannel data.
- Made the log messages regarding lost lock of devices "info" instead of "error"
(suggested by Andreas Brachold).
- The SVDRP command GRAB allows file names without extension again (suggested by
Stefan Huelswitt).
- Pressing '0' in the "Schedule" menu now rotates through displaying "This event on
this channel", "This event on all channels" and "All events on all channels".
This can be used to find reruns of a given show, or the episodes of a series.
Note that if there are many channels in your channels.conf, displaying the
"All events on all channels" page may take a while.
- The status markers in the "Schedule" menu are now only updated if a submenu is
closed in which a timer has been modified, which speeds up closing submenus.
- Now only writing Dolby Digital tracks into the 'info.vdr' file of a recording
if Setup.UseDolbyDigital is true (suggested by André Weidemann).
- Added a leading '0' to the day in the DayDateTime() function (thanks to Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- No longer displaying color buttons in the recording info menu if it has been
invoked from a player (reported by Jürgen Schilling).

- 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 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>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
'& 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).

- Fixed the TS to PES repacker so that it works with MPEG1 streams (thanks to
Andreas Kool).
- Fixed keeping track of the current channel number when moving channels in
the "Channels" menu (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting this one).
- Made the plugin library directory configurable via Make.config (thanks to
Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed scaling SPU bitmaps in Letterbox mode when playing NTSC material.
In order to do this, the cDevice was given a new member function GetVideoSystem().
- Fixed two warnings when compiling with gcc 3.3.1 (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for
reporting this).
- Made crc32() a static function in libdtv/libsi/si_parser.c to avoid a name clash
when using other libraries that also implement a function by that name (thanks
to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one).
- Fixed staying off the end of an ongoing recording while replaying in time shift
mode (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one).
- VDR now stops with exit status 2 if one of the configuration files can't be
read correctly at program startup (suggested by Rainer Zocholl).
- Fixed a crash when starting "Pause live video" twice within the same minute on
the same channel.
- Fixed freezing replay if a timer starts while in Transfer Mode from the device
used by the timer, and the timer needs a different transponder (thanks to
Richard Robson for reporting this one).
- Fixed toggling channels with the '0' key (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting
this one).
- Made the "Zap timeout" (the time until a channel counts as "previous" for
switching with '0') a setup variable, available in "Setup/Miscellaneous"
(suggested by Helmut Auer).
- Removing deleted recordings faster than normal when cutting, to avoid running
out of disk space (thanks to Manfred Schmidt-Voigt for reporting this one).

- Fixed a bug in channel switching after Left/Right has been pressed (thanks to
Michael Walle for reporting this one).
- Improved channel switching in case of numerical input by switching as soon as
the channel is unique (suggested by Jaakko Hyvätti).
- Fixed creating a new channel in the "Channels" menu in case the 'channels.conf'
contains ':@nnn' lines with no text (thanks to Guy Roussin for reporting this
one).
- Changed the behaviour of the '0' key in normal viewing mode so that a channel
only qualifies as "previous" if it has been selected for at least 3 seconds
(suggested by Thomas Keil).
- Now clearing the channel info display when entering numeric keys to switch
channels (suggested by Guy Roussin).
- Added missing I18N entry for "Ppid" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling the color buttons in the "Edit channel" menu (thanks to Thomas
Keil for reporting this one).
- Fixed an occasional "Broken pipe" error in SVDRP connections (thanks to Gerhard
Steiner for reporting this one).
- Fixed checking CA capabilities with the dvb-kernel driver (thanks to Kenneth
Aafløy).
- Fixed selecting the device, because sometimes an FTA recording terminated a
CA recording (thanks to Emil Naepflein).
- Fixed a possible crash in case a VFAT file system is used without compiling VDR
with VFAT=1 (thanks to Ernst Fürst for reporting this one).
- Now the program uses the values of VIDEODIR and PLUGINDIR defined in Makefile
or Make.config as defaults (thanks to Steffen Barszus).
- Added the usual menu timeout to the CAM menus.

- Completely switched to the new CVS HEAD version of the linux-dvb driver.
The NEWSTRUCT compile time switch is now obsolete. The required driver is now
the CVS HEAD version dated 2002-11-01 or later.
- Adjusted the INSTALL file to the 1.1.x version.
- Only accepting key presses from the current remote control when learning (thanks to
Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed the EPG scanner, which broke 'Transfer Mode' as soon as it kicked in
(thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling audio tracks in cDvbDevice.
- Updated channels.conf.terr (thanks to Uwe Scheffler).
- Fixed displaying the group separators in the channel display (thanks to Martin
Hammerschmid for pointing out this one).
- The Makefile now includes the file Make.config (if present in the VDR source
directory), which allows the user to overwrite several settings with individual
values (suggested by Andreas Schultz). The VDR distribution archive does not
contain this file in order to not overwrite a user defined file. There is a
Make.config.template which contains the default values of the macros the user
can overwrite.
- Since there have been changes to the 'newplugin' script authors of plugins
may want to newly create their plugins' Makefiles with the new version of this
script, and adapt them to their individual needs (make sure you don't overwrite
your existing plugin directory - make a backup copy first!).
- Fixed reading EPG data via the SVDRP command PUTE (it changed the current
service ID).
- Fixed closing all dup'ed file descriptors in cPipe.
- Implemented a plugin interface for additional audio processing (see PLUGINS.html
under "Dolby Digital").
The functionality of the '-a' command line option has been reactivated.
Since the author doesn't have any Dolby Digital equipment this may or may not
work as expected. There may still be some places where a call to cAudios::Clear()
or cAudios::Mute() is necessary. Those with Dolby Digital equipment should please
take a look at this and maybe send patches.
Replaying Dolby Digital in ways other than through VDR's '-a' option will have to
be implemented as plugins. Those who have written patches for VDR version 1.0.x
should convert their work into the proper plugins for version 1.1.x.
Note to authors of cPlayer derived plugins: please read the modified comments
in device.h regarding the member functions cDevice::Clear(), cDevice::Mute() and
cDevice::PlayAudio(). Derived classes must call these base class member functions
to make sure all registered cAudio objects are properly handled. Also note that
the return type of cDevice::PlayAudio() has been changed to 'void', since this
function always has to accept the entire data block immediately and there is
nothing that could be reasonably done in case an error occurs in one of the
cAudio objects.
- Now checking the driver's DVB_API_VERSION in dvbdevice.h. Since VDR now requires
a driver dated 2002-11-01 or later the MIN_DVB_DRIVER_VERSION_FOR_TIMESHIFT and
DVB_DRIVER_VERSION stuff has been replaced with DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE,
which can be used to disable simultaneous recording and replaying on the primary
DVB device in case there are problems with this.
