- 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.

- NOTE: If you are using DVB driver version 0.7 you need to load the dvb.o module with option outstream=0, so your insmod statement should read 'insmod dvb.o outstream=0'. This is currently necessary because 'vdr' still works with AV_PES data. - Video files now have the 'group read' bit set. - Fixed handling errors in 'readstring()'. - Handling SIGPIPE and re-establishing handler after intercepting a signal. - The configuration files are now by default read from the video directory. This can be changed by using the new '-c' option. Make sure you copy your current '*.conf' files to your video directory ('/video' by default), or use "-c ." to get the old behaviour of loading the configuration files from the current directory. - Waiting for input is now handled by a common function, which improves response time on user actions. As a consequence the EIT data may sometimes not be displayed, but this will change later when cEIT runs as a separate thread. - The new SVDRP command 'HITK' (thanks to Guido Fiala!) can be used to 'hit' a remote control key. Establish an SVDRP connection and enter HITK without a parameter for a list of all valid key names. - The new SVDRP command 'GRAB' (thanks to Guido Fiala!) can be used to grab the current frame and save it to a file. - The new SVDRP commands 'OVL*' can be used to control video overlays (thanks to Guido Fiala!). This is mainly for use in the 'kvdr' tool (see the 'kvdr' page at http://www.s.netic.de/gfiala). - If the name of the video directory used with the '-v' option had trailing slashes, the recording file names have been damaged. Trailing slashes are now silently removed. - Fixed a buffer overflow in EIT parsing. - Added a security warning regarding SVDRP to the INSTALL file. - Fixed 'confirm' dialog. - The daemon mode (option '-d') now no longer works with REMOTE=KBD (there is no stdin in daemon mode, so KBD makes no sense - plus it sometimes crashed).

- The Makefile now defines DVBDIR to easily point to where the DVB driver source is located. - When switching channels the current/next information is now displayed if available (thanks to Robert Schneider). Since there is now more information to read when switching channels, the timeout for displaying it has been increased from 2 to 5 seconds (remember that this info can always be recalled by pressing the "Ok" button). For this feature to work it is necessary that the 'Pnr' parameter in the channel setup ('channels.conf') is set to the proper value. This has been done for some of the channels in the default 'channels.conf'. Some other parameters in the default 'channels.conf' have also been updated, so please make sure your timers still use the correct channels!
