- Changed thread handling to make it work with NPTL ("Native Posix Thread Library"). Thanks to Jon Burgess, Andreas Schultz, Werner Fink and Stefan Huelswitt. - The cThread class now accepts a 'Description' parameter, which is used to log the beginning and end of the thread, together with its process and thread id. For descriptions that need additional parameters you can use the function cThread::SetDescription(), which accepts 'printf()' like arguments. Existing plugins that use threads should be changed to use this functionality instead of explicit 'dsyslog()' calls inside their Action() function in order to support logging the thread ids. - Added "Slovak Link" and "Czech Link" to 'ca.conf' (thanks to Emil Petersky). However, 'ca.conf' is now pretty much obsolete due to the automatic CA handling. - Mutexes are now created with PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP, which makes the 'lockingTid' stuff obsolete (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Changed font handling to allow language specific character sets. - Adopted the small font character set from the "Elchi" patch (originally provided by Alessio Sangalli). - Greek language texts now use iso8859-7 character set (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Rearranged section data handling, so that the actual data handling can be done separately, even from within plugins. - The EPG data structures have been moved from eit.[hc] to epg.[hc] and have been adapted to the general VDR coding style. Plugins that use these data structures may need to change some function names (which should be obvious). The name 'subtitle' has been changed to 'shortText' to avoid clashes with actual subtitles that are part of a movie. The name 'extendedDescription' has been shortened to 'description'. - Replaced 'libdtv' with 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg), which is thread safe and can be used by multiple section filters simultaneously. - Added 'cRwLock' to 'thread.[hc]'. Note that all plugin Makefiles need to define _GNU_SOURCE for this to work (see the example plugin Makefiles and 'newplugin'). - Fixed a problem with crc32 in SI handling on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one). - Fixed an alignment problem in CAM access on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one). - Added 'StreamType' setting to CAM communication, which is important for Aston/SECA CAMs (thanks to Antonino Sergi). - Now the CA descriptors are sent to the CAM in the 'program' or 'ES level' sections, depending on where they are found in the PMT (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke for reporting this one). This should make SkyCrypt CAMs work. - Now using the 'version number' of EPG events to avoid unnecessary work. - Channel data is now automatically derived from the DVB data stream (inspired by the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz). - The current channel is now automatically re-tuned if the PIDs or other settings change. If a recording is going on on a channel that has a change in its settings, the recording will be stopped and immediately restarted to use the new channel settings. - EPG events now use the complete channel ID with NID, TID and SID. - Channel names in 'channels.conf' can now have a short form, as provided by some tv stations (see man vdr(5)). Currently channels that provide short names in addition to long ones are listed in the OSD as "short,long name", as in "RTL,RTL Television". The short names will be used explicitly later. - The Ca parameter in 'channels.conf' has been extended and now contains all the CA system ids for the given channel. When switching to a channel VDR now tests for a device that provides one of these CA system ids. The devices automatically get their supported ids from the CI handler. - The values in 'ca.conf' are currently without any real meaning. Whether or not a channel with conditional access can be received is now determined automatically by evaluating its CA descriptors and comparing them to the CA system ids provided by the installed CAM. Only the special values 1-16 are used to assign a channel to a particular device. - Increased the maximum number of possible OSD colors to 256. - Limited the line length in the EPG bugfix report, which appears to fix a buffer overflow that caused a crash when cleaning up the EPG data (at 05:00 in the morning).

- Implemented a lock file to prevent more than one instance of VDR from removing files from the video directory at the same time. - The new setup parameter SplitEditedFiles can be used to control whether or not the result of an editing process shall be written into separate files. - Fixed handling repeat function when using LIRC (thanks to Matthias Weingart). - The shutdown program (defined with the '-s' option) now also gets the channel number and recording title of the timer (see INSTALL). - New channel data for 'Premiere One', 'Premiere X-Action', 'Fox Kids Türkce' and 'N24' (thanks to Andreas Share, Ulrich Röder, Uwe Scheffler and Simon Bauschulte). Note that if you are using the default 'channels.conf' or 'channels.conf.cable' files you may need to check any exiting timers to see whether they still use the correct channel number. - Fixed the "EPG bugfix" (sometimes had duplicate information in Subtitle and Extended Description). - Fixed checking for valid video device when setting the video mode. - The external command 'sort' is no longer required. VDR now sorts the list of recordings itself, making sure that recordings that stem from repeating timers are sorted chronologically. Sorting is done according to the setting of the current locale, so you may want to make sure LC_COLLATE is set to the desired value (see INSTALL). - Fixed handling 'newline' characters in EPG texts (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for an improved version of his 'libdtv'). Newline characters are always mapped to a single "blank" in VDR, because they would otherwise disturb the Title and Subtitle layout in the channel display (where these are assumed to be single line texts) and would have to be specially handled in the 'epg.data' file and the LSTE command in SVDRP. - Mapping ` ("backtick") characters in EPG texts to ' (single quote). - Fixed timers starting and ending at unexpected times. 'localtime()' was not thread safe, now using localtime_r(). - Removed the "system time seen..." message. - Fixed a bug in the replay mode display when pressing the Green or Yellow button while in trick mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt) - Closing all open file descriptors when calling external programs. - The menu timeout now also works when pressing the "Back" button during replay to enter the "Recordings" menu. - Updated 'channels.conf' for the "Bundesliga" channels of Premiere World (thanks to Helmut Schächner). - Fixed reading timers.conf and channels.conf that contain blanks after numeric values. - Fixed handling trick modes near the beginning and end of a recording. - Pressing the "Back" button while replaying a DVD now leads to the DVD menu.

- The "channel not sync'ed" log message now also lists the card number. - Now using the EIT services from 'libdtv' (thanks to Rolf Hakenes), which provides EPG information for NVOD ("Near Video On Demand") channels. - Doing some bug fixing on the EPG data (some tv stations apparently have their own idea on how to fill in the data...). The level up to which EPG bugs are fixed can be controlled with the EPGBugfixLevel parameter in the "Setup" menu (see MANUAL for details, and cEventInfo::FixEpgBugs() in eit.c for the actual implementation). - Fixed broken recordings after a driver buffer overflow. - Fixed the chirping sound after Pause/Play of a DVD (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
