- Remote control data is now received in a separate thread, which makes things
a lot smoother.
- Repeat and release of remote control keys is now explicitly distinguished.
- In replay mode the search forward/back and skip functions now have two modes:
Pressing the key shortly and releasing it starts the function, and pressing it
again stops it. Pressing and holding down the key starts the function and
releasing the key stops it.
- The '@' character that marks an "instant recording" can now be turned off
in the "Setup" menu (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer).
- Pressing the "Back" button while replaying now stops replaying and brings up
the "Recordings" menu (suggested by Carsten Koch). This can be used to easily
delete a recording after watching it, or to switch to a different recording.
- The "Recordings" menu now places the cursor on the last replayed recording, if
that file still exists.
- The "Blue" button in the "Main" menu can now be used to "Resume" a previously
stopped replay session (suggested by Martin Hammerschmid).
- The low and high LNB frequencies can now be changed in the "Setup" menu.

- 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 new "Setup" menu allows the user to configure several parameters to his/her
personal taste (see MANUAL for details).
- Workaround for a driver timing problem in cDvbApi::Cmd(), which sometimes caused
the OSD to no longer be displayed (thanks to Niels de Carpentier).
- Added the '-m486' option to the compiler call.
- If a channel name contains a colon (':') it is now replaced with a '|' in
channels.conf.
- Not everybody appears to like the "page scrolling" mechanism introduced by
Heino Goldenstein in version 0.61, so this is now configurable via the "Setup"
menu.
- The new 'dvbrc2vdr' tool (thanks to Plamen Ganev!) can be used to convert
'dvbrc' channel files into 'vdr' format.
- Channels can now be "grouped" (thanks to Plamen Ganev!). See MANUAL for details.
There is currently no mechanism to define and maintain "Channel groups" via
the menu, so you'll have to insert "Channel group" control lines into your
'channels.conf' file manually (for example with a text editor).
- Started a new file named FORMATS with a description of the various file
formats used by VDR.
- The "Primary DVB interface" can now be chosen via the "Setup" menu.
- Display of the "current/next" information when switching channels can now
be disabled via the "Setup" menu.
- The "current/next" display now only shows those lines that actually contain
information.
- When directly selecting a channel by entering the channel number, the digits
entered so far together with the name of that channel are displayed on the
OSD (suggested by Martin Hammerschmid).

- Support for more than one DVB card.
- Simultaneous record and replay (with two DVB cards).
- Instant recordings no longer get the name "instant". They now get the name
of the channel, with a prepended '@' character.
- Timers that are not given an explicit Name now use the channel name with
a prepended '@' character.
- If an instant recording is currently active, the Main menu now contains
an option to stop that recording.
- Timers are now only processed when the Menu is not active. So after editing
a timer the effect will take place only after the menu has been closed.
In order to avoid missing a timer event by inadvertently leaving the menu
open, the menu will be closed automatically after about two minutes of
inactivity.
- If a recording is currently being replayed, the Main menu now contains an
option to stop replaying.
- Displaying the recording DVB interface status in the decimal points of the
RCU display.
- Reduced the number of remote control keys. Modified the key assignments for
the PC keyboard to better resemble the "up-down-left-right-ok" layout on
menu controlling remote control units.

- Changed name from 'osm' to 'vdr' to avoid mixups with the 'oms' program that
appears to be in use with DVD replay.
- Implemented a channel display in the top menu line.
- Implemented replay progress display (press "Ok" when replaying to bring it up).
- Implemented direct channel selecting by pressing the numeric keys.
- Added several 'const' keywords to please stricter compilers.
- The repeat function for the remote control no longer adapts dynamically
to the timing of the RCU (this sometimes caused the repeat function to
kick in too early).
- Channel selection is now blocked when recording or replaying.
- Improved process handling.

- Actual record/replay now works.
- Dropped the idea of different "recording qualities" (a 36GB harddisk is
able to store some 18 hours in full quality, so we don't really need that).
- Termination signals are now caught and the program cleans up before exiting.
- Support for CICAM.
|
|
- Fixed compilation with only DEBUG_REMOTE=1.
- Menus now use colors.
- Support for "Red", "Green", "Yellow", "Blue" buttons.
- Channels and Timers can now be added, deleted and moved.
- Basic record/play file handling support (no actual record/playback yet).
