- 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.

- Implemented automatic shutdown (see INSTALL and MANUAL for details). - New SVDRP command NEXT to show the next timer event. - The new remote control key "Power" can be used to turn the VDR machine off (this requires the presence of the '-s' option). - Fixed code for the default "Ok" button on the PC keyboard (was 0x162 on the "good old" keyboards (with the F-keys at the left side), while it changed to 0x15E on the newer keyboards). - When a recording is edited, the summary information (if present) is now also copied. - When a recording is running on the primary interface, any attempt to change the current channel will now lead to a "Channel locked" message. - The main program loop now first checks whether any timer recordings are finished, before starting a new timer recording. This is important in case one timer ends at the same time another timer starts. - New setup parameter OSDMessageTime to define how long an OSD message shall be displayed. - The "File" parameter of a timer can now contain the '~' character to store the recording in a hierarchical directory structure. The '~' character has been chosen since the file system's directory delimiter '/' may be part of a regular programme name (showing the directory hierarchy in the "Recordings" menu will follow later). - Repeating timers now create recordings that contain the 'Subtitle' information from the EPG data in their file name. Typically (on tv stations that care about their viewers) this contains the episode title of a series. The subtitle is appended to the timer's file name, separated by a '~' character, so that it results in all recordings of this timer being collected in a common subdirectory. You can disable this with the 'UseSubtitle' parameter in the "Setup" menu. - The summary information is now taken from the EPG data at the actual time of recording (no longer at the time the timer is created in the "Schedule" menu). If a timer already has summary data, that data will be used. If you have repeating timers in your 'timers.conf', you may want to make sure they do NOT contain any summary information (that's the last field in the timer definitions). Use your favourite text editor to delete that information. That way every recording will store the actual summary data at the time of the recording.

- The menus and the channel display now show the current date and time. - The new Setup parameter MaxVideoFileSize can be used to customize the maximum size of the recorded video files. - Fixed a bug in handling repeating timers that record over midnight (the calculation of matching timers has been completely rewritten). - Timers that are currently recording are now marked with '#' in the "Timers" menu. - Timers are now sorted in the "Timers" menu, showing the sequence in which they will be recording. This can be disabled in the "Setup" menu. Note that the "Mark" button doesn't work if timers are displayed sorted.

- 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).
