- Added new entries to 'ca.conf'.
- Fixed closing unused PID handles (thanks to Stefan Schluenss for reporting this
one).
- Added more examples to 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed disabling multiple recordings on a single DVB card (comment out the definition
of the macros DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS in
dvbdevice.c).
- Plugins can now have their very own OSD setup in the object they return from
a call to cPlugin::MainMenuAction(). In order to implement this, the return type
of cPlugin::MainMenuAction() had to be changed from (cOsdMenu *) to (cOsdObject *).
So in case you are compiling an existing plugin with this version of VDR and you
get an error message, simply change cOsdMenu to cOsdObject in the plugin's source
for the MainMenuAction() function.
Plugin authors who have so far (ab)used the cControl mechanism to implement their
own raw OSD should take a look at the new demo plugin 'osddemo'. It implements
a very primitive game that shows how a plugin can have its own raw OSD. Especially
look into cLineGame and see how it implements the Show() function. See also
the chapter on "User interaction" in PLUGINS.html.
- Added three new fields to the lines in 'channels.conf': NID, TID and RID. NID and
TID are the Network and Transport Stream IDs, respectively. RID is an additional ID
that can be used to tell apart channels that would otherwise be indistinguishable.
This is typically the case with radio channels, which may have the same NID, TID
and SID, but different "radio IDs". This new field is therefore called RID ("radio
ID"). Currently NID and TID are not yet used by VDR and should always be 0. The
RID is actually used when building the "unique channel ID", so if you have channels
in your 'channels.conf' file that cause error messages when loading, you can set
the RIDs of these channels to different values.
When reading an old 'channels.conf' these new fields will be automatically
initialized to 0 and once the file is written back to disk they will be appended
to the channel definitions.
Thanks to Régis Bossut for pointing out that with some providers the channels can
only be distinguished through the RID.
- The "unique channel ID" now contains an optional 5th part (the RID). See man vdr(5).
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' and made some channels unique using the new RID
(thanks to Andreas Kool for pointing out the problems).
- Made some channels unique in 'channels.conf.terr' using the new RID.
- Extended the '-l' option to allow logging to LOG_LOCALn (n=0..7) by writing, for
instance, '-l 3.7' (suggested by Jürgen Schmidt).
- Now deleting stale lock files if they have a time stamp that is outside the window
'now +/- LOCKFILESTALETIME'. This improves things in cases where the system time
makes far jumps, so that a lock file might end up with a time stamp that lies
in the distant future (thanks to Oliver Endriss).

- Added 'Ca' code 201 for 'Cryptoworks, GOD-DIGITAL' to 'ca.conf' (thanks to
Bernd Schweikert).
- Fixed avoiding the primary DVB interface in case Setup.PrimaryLimit is 0.
- Fixed handling CICAM settings if the first one of a DVB card was FTA.
- Fixed reacting on changes in CICAM settings (needed to restart VDR before).
- The "Blue" button in the "Main" menu now works as "Stop" button if a recording
is currently being replayed.
- New command line option '-m' to mute audio of the primary DVB device at
startup (suggested by Mirko Günther).
- The new SVDRP command VOLU can be used to control the audio volume (suggested
by Mirko Günther).
- Fixed resetting 'mute' state when setting the volume to a non-zero value.
- Added log messages when deleting recordings in case the disk runs full while
recording.
- Fixed closing a pipe (used for replaying Dolby Digital audio), which
sometimes left 'zombie' processes behind (thanks to Werner Fink for helping
to debug this one).
- Now starting the Dolby Digital output thread only if the recording actually
contains Dolby Digital audio data (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Implemented OSD for Volume and Mute (works only if there is no other OSD
activity, but this should be no problem for normal use).
- Changed the MANUAL description of the "Conditional Access" setup parameters
to reflect the actual "CICAM DVBn m" notation in the "Setup" menu.
- The new Setup parameter "Use time from transponder" can be used to define which
transponder shall be used to set the system time (see MANUAL for details).
If you have been using the SetSystemTime option previously, you now MUST
select a channel that you trust to have a reliable time base.
- Grouped the Setup parameters into several sub-menus, so that each group of
parameters fits on a single screen - unless the height of the OSD has been
set to a small value (based on code from Markus Lang).
- Changed the title of the "Main" menu to "VDR".
- Fixed displaying a system message while the replay mode is being shown.
- Physically removing a deleted recording if one with the same name shall be
deleted again.
- The "Left" and "Right" keys are now used to page up and down in text displays
(like the EPG descriptions or the results of commands executed from the
"Commands" menu).
- Fixed high CPU usage in transfer mode.
- Replaced 'killproc' with 'killall' in 'runvdr', since apparently 'killproc'
is not available by default on some Linux distributions, whereas 'killall' is.
Please check if your system provides 'killall' - if it doesn't, please change
this back in 'runvdr' and report this (thanks to Achim Lange).
- The "Commands" menu now automatically assigns number keys as hotkeys to the
commands. If you have preceeded your commands with digits you may want to
remove these from your 'commands.conf' file.
- The new Setup item "Restart" can be used to force a complete restart of VDR,
including reloading the driver. Note that this can only work if VDR and the
driver are wrapped into a mechanism that actually performs this action if VDR
exits. The 'runvdr' script can be used for this purpose.
- Refined texts of the "Setup" menu.

- Fixed parsing 'E' records in epg2html.pl.
- Fixed a deadlock when switching channels via Schedule/Now|Next/Switch (reported
by Martin Hammerschmid).
- Changed the meaning of the 'Ca' parameter in 'channels.conf'. Each channel can
now define which decryption method it needs in order to be accessed. The new
configuration file 'ca.conf' contains the defined values, and the default
'channels.conf' has been modifed to contain the new values for 'Premiere World'
and 'ORF'. If you use the default 'channels.conf' and have the conditional
access hardware to receive encrypted channels, please make sure you copy the
file 'ca.conf' into your /video directory (or wherever your configuration files
are located) and go into the "Setup" menu and set the CICAM values according
to your hardware setup. Currently there are two possible CICAM entries per
DVB card, so any card can implement up to two different conditional access
modes (besides the default "Free To Air" mode, which is always assumed to be
available on any DVB card).
- Updated French language texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto).
