- Date and time in the title of an event info page are now always right adjusted.
- The 'current channel' is now handled device specific (in case there is more
than one DVB card).
- The 'SetSystemTime' option in the "Setup" menu is now shown as "yes/no".
- Implemented "internationalization" (see 'i18n.c' for information on how to
add new languages). Thanks to Miha Setina for translating the OSD texts to
the Slovenian language.
- Fixed learning keys on the PC keyboard (display oscillated).
- Fixed a timing problem with OSD refresh and SVDRP.
- Avoiding multiple definitions of the same timer in the "Schedule" menu (this
could happen when pressing the "Red" button while editing the timer).
- There can now be a configuration file named 'commands.conf' that defines
commands that can be executed through the "Main" menu's "Commands" option
(see FORMATS for details on how to define these commands).
- Added a 'fixed' font for use with the output of system commands.
- The 'Priority' parameter of the timers is now also used to interrupt a low
priority timer recording if a higher priority timer wants to record.
- A timer recording on a DVB card with a CAM module will now be interrupted
by a timer that needs to use this specific DVB card to record an encrypted
channel, if the timer currently occupying this DVB card doesn't need the
CAM module (and thus can continue recording on a different DVB card).
- The "Yellow" button in the "What's on now/next?" menus now displays the
schedule of the current channel from that menu.
- All DVB cards in a multi-card system now write their EIT information into the
same data structure.
- If there is more than one DVB card in the system, the non-primary cards are
now used to periodically scan through the channels in order to keep the
EPG info up-to-date. Scanning kicks in after 60 seconds of user inactivity
(timeout in order to keep user interactions instantaneously) and each channel
that has the 'pnr' parameter defined in 'channels.conf' is switched to for
20 seconds. If there is only one DVB card in the system, that card will start
scanning after 5 hours (configurable through the "Setup" menu) of user inactivity
and will switch back to the channel it originally displayed at the first sign of
user activity. Any scanning will only occur if that particular card is not
currently recording or replaying.
- Now shifting the 'Subtitle' info into the 'ExtendedDescription' on stations
that don't send the EIT information correctly (like, e.g., 'VOX').
- Implemented a 10 seconds latency when removing files.
- Fixed unwanted reaction on the "Green" and "Yellow" button in the "Event" display.
- Implemented 'Transfer Mode' to display video data from the DVB card that actually
can receive a certain channel on the primary interface. This is currently in
an early state and may still cause some problems, but it appears to work nice
already.

- The EIT information is now gathered in a separate thread.
- The sytem time can now be synchronized to the time broadcast in the DVB data
stream. This can be enabled in the "Setup" menu by setting "SetSystemTime" to
1. Note that this works only if VDR is running under a user id that has
permisson to set the system time.
- The new item "Schedule" in the "Main" menu opens VDR's EPG (thanks to Robert
Schneider). See the MANUAL file for a detailed description.
- The new setup parameters MarginStart and MarginStop define how long (in
minutes) before the official start time of a broadcast VDR shall begin
recording, and how long after the official end time it shall stop recording.
These are used when a recording is programmed from the "Schedules" menu.
- The delay value in the dvb.c.071.diff patch to the driver has been increased
to '3', because on some systems the OSD was not displayed correctly. If you
are running an already patched version 0.71 driver and encounter problems
with the OSD, please make sure the parameter in the ddelay call is '3', not
'2'.
- Fixed initializing the RCU remote control code (didn't work after switching
on the system).
- Problematic characters in recording names (which can come from timers that
are programmed via the "Schedules" menu) are now replaced by suitable
substitutes.

- 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!
