	- Fixed setting the OSD size in the 'Confirm' interface call (thanks to Deti Fliegl). - Removed the 'read incomplete section...' error message in the EIT processor. - Fixed channel data for "DW TV" (thanks to Axel Gruber). - Added DPID to "PREMIERE MOVIE 1" in channels.conf.cable (thanks to Stephan Schreiber). - Prepared the OSD functions for multiple overlapping windows. - Removed the check to see whether the system time is running linearly. - Improved performance of SVDRP command entry. - Removed EPGBugfixLevel '3' - after more than a year Pro-7 finally managed to broadcast the correct timestamps for EPG events between 0:00 and 6:00! - Fixed failing watchdog timer if program hangs in OSD activities (thanks to Carsten Koch). - No longer requiring 'libncurses' if compiling without DEBUG_OSD=1 and REMOTE=KBD (thanks to Lauri Pesonen). - The "Recordings" menu now displays a hierarchical structure if there are subdirectories for the recordings. This can be controlled through the "RecordingDirs" parameter in the "Setup" menu. See "MANUAL/Replaying a Recording" for details. - Improved speed of setting the Help button texts. - Fixed handling file names that contain single quotes (') or dollar signs ($) in the call to the shutdown command (option '-s') and the recording command (option '-r'). - Improved error handling in the editing process; the resulting file will be deleted if an error occured. - A message is now prompted at the end of the editing process, indicating whether the process succeeded or failed. - Fixed setting the LastActivity timestamp after a shutdown prompt (thanks to Sergei Haller). - A message is now prompted if free disk space becomes low during recording. - The editing process now calls AssertFreeDiskSpace() to remove deleted recordings if the disk becomes full. - The "Main" menu now displays in its title the used disk space (in percent) and the estimated free disk space (in hh:mm), assuming a data rate of 30 MB per minute. - Activating the "Recordings" menu now displays "scanning recordings..." to give the user some feedback in case this takes longer. - Status messages are now displayed centered. - Removed the 'Tools' subdirectory from the VDR archive. All contributed tools can now be found at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/people/kls/vdr/Tools.

	- Added support for LIRC remote control (thanks to Carsten Koch!). There are now three different remote control modes: KBD (PC-Keyboard), RCU and LIRC. See the INSTALL file for information on how to enable either of these modes. The default mode is now KBD, not RCU as before (to make it work immediately even if there is no actual remote control). - Fixed small bug in dvbapi.c that was causing some channels (many on hotbird) not to be correctly tuned (thanks to Plamen Ganev!). - Now clearing the replay buffer in search forward/back, which results in faster reaction. - The 'Recordings' menu is now listed alphabetically (thanks to Carsten Koch!). - The new 'epg2timers' tool (thanks to Carsten Koch!) can be used to convert an EPG "merkliste" page (http://www.tvtv.de) to vdr timer entries. - The new 'xtvrc2vdr' tool (thanks to Plamen Ganev!) can be used to convert 'xtvrc' channel files into 'vdr' format. - When more than one timer matches at the same time, the first one in the list with the highest 'Priority' is selected. - The MANUAL section on "Programming the Timer" has been filled in. - The year in the "Recordings" menu as well as in the progress display during replay has been reduced to 2 digits to allow more space for the recording's title. In the internal file structure the year is still stored with 4 digits, so there will be no problem at the next turn of the century ;-) - Channel names and timer filenames can now contain blanks. To avoid problems with file names that contain blanks, all blanks in recording file names are converted to underscores. - The polarization can now be given in uppercase or lowercase characters in channels.conf. - Fixed buffer initialization to work with DVB driver version 0.6. - Implemented the "Simple Video Disk Recorder Protocol" (SVDRP) to control the VDR over a network connection. - Implemented command line option handling. - The program can now run in full background mode by using the --daemon option. - Added a "summary" field to the timers (thanks to Carsten Koch!). This field can contain a descriptive text of the programme and will be displayed when the "Blue" key is pressed on a recording that was created by this timer. If the text contains the special character '\|', a newline will be inserted at that place. When pressing "Ok" on a timer that contains a summary field, the summary will be displayed. To edit such a timer the "Red" key must be pressed. Timers without a summary still go into Edit mode when pressing "Ok". The summary field can only be filled in directly by editing the 'timers.conf' file with a text editor, or by defining/modifying the timer via the SVDRP interface.
