- Removed leftover LSMOD=... line from 'runvdr'.
- Modified the Makefile to copy additional libraries a plugin might provide (suggested
by Wayne Keer). See PLUGINS.html for details.
- Fixed handling Transfer Mode when replaying Dolby Digital audio and the option
'-a' was given (based on a patch from Werner Fink). To avoid having to increment
the API version, several #if checks have been introduced around this. These will
be removed once the API version actually needs to be incremented.
- Fixed deleting the 'skinDescriptions' in cMenuSetupOSD::~cMenuSetupOSD() (thanks
to Tobias Grimm).
- Fixed calculating the start time of repeated timers with "first day" (thanks to
Udo Richter).
- Now setting a timer's cached start time to 0 after a call to Skip() (thanks to
Udo Richter).
- Fixed handling the running status of EPG events in case the "Schedule" menu is
currently open (i.e. a write lock on the schedules data can't be achieved).
- Fixed handling VPS timers in case the EPG event hasn't been 'seen' in a while.
- Fixed calculating the cache size in cUnbufferedFile::Read() (thanks to Artur Skawina).
- Removed -fPIC from VDR's and libsi's Makefile (suggested by Prakash Punnoor).
- Modifed the device selection to better handle timer conflicts (reported by
Christian Wieninger).
- Avoiding a compiler warning in libsi's TypeLoop::operator[].
- Now processing the "frequency list descriptor" (based on a patch from Anssi Hannula).
- Improved the repeat function for LIRC remote controls (thanks to Joerg Riechardt).
- Fixed moving channels, which sometimes stopped the current replay session
(reported by Mirko Dölle).
- Fixed deleting channels in case the current channel's number changes (reported
by Mirko Dölle).

- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed a crash when setting the time transponder in the Setup menu, caused by the
new 'noneString' in cMenuEditChanItem (reported by Thomas Günther).
- Added NULL checks to some strdup() calls in menuitems.c (suggested by Darren
Salt).
- Removed the unnecessary 'value' member from cMenuEditItem.
- Fixed the initial setting of the time transponder setup parameter (reported
by Thomas Günther).
- Fixed unnecessary Set() calls in cMenuEditIntItem::ProcessKey().
- Allowing a tolerance for symbol rate values that are off by one (thanks to
Richard Lithvall).
- Added VBITeletextDescriptorTag, TeletextDescriptorTag, LocalTimeOffsetDescriptorTag
and PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor to 'libsi' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Using geteuid() to check whether VDR is running as user 'root' (suggested by
Tobias Grimm).
- Added a missing "Key$" in skincurses.c (reported by Darren Salt).
- Reintroduced the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (upon
request by Ville Skyttä, as in the initial patch from Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed the vdr.1 man page (a single DVB card can record and do live tv).
- The preferred audio language is now automatically selected when starting replay.
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- The new function cPlugin::Active() can be used by a plugin to indicate that it
is still busy and the system should not shut down or restart (based on a patch
from Sascha Volkenandt). See PLUGINS.html for details.
- Fixed setting the 'Delta' parameter when calling the shutdown script with
no active timer (reported by Helge Lenz).
- In order to make sure that plugins are compiled with the same DVB driver header
files as VDR itself, the definition of DVBDIR has been removed from the VDR
Makefile. If you are using a driver version that has its header files at a location
other than /usr/include/linux/dvb, you can define DVBDIR in the Make.config
file (see also INSTALL). Note that if you already have a Make.config file of your
own, you should add the lines
ifdef DVBDIR
INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include
endif
to its end, as in the new Make.config.template.
Any reference to DVBDIR should be removed from all plugins' Makefiles, like this:

Thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out this problem.
- Implemented kNext and kPrev keys (based on a patch from Peter Juszack).
See MANUAL for details.
- Implemented kChanPrev (from a patch from Darren Salt).
- The "Update channels" parameter in the "Setup/DVB" menu has been extended to
allow updating only the PIDs (see MANUAL for details). When updating to this
version of VDR, please verify that the setting is as you want it to be, because
the values have been shifted.
- The new APIVERSION (see config.h) now allows existing compiled plugins to be
used with newer versions of VDR, as long as there have been no changes to the
VDR header files since the last APIVERSION. Existing plugins' Makefiles should
have all references to VDRVERSION changed to APIVERSION, like this:

- If a timer is newly created from within the "Schedule" menu, and its event is
already running or has its start time within the next two minutes, it now goes
directly into the "Edit timer" menu in order to allow the user to make further
changes to timer parameters before the actual recording starts (inspired by
Christian Wieninger's "epgsearch" plugin).
- Added format check to syslog_with_tid().
- Updated the INSTALL file's section about non-VDR files in the video directory
(since version 1.3.38 disk access is done in a separate thread, so the watchdog
timer won't hit).
- Changed the behaviour of the "Use small font" setup option to *always* use the small
font if set to '2' - even if it would have been a fixed font (suggested by Ronny
Kornexl).
- No longer using characters 0x01 and 0x02 for mapping single quote and slash in
recording names (thanks to Patrick Fischer for reporting that this was a problem
with XML). The single quote is not mapped at all, and the slash is interchanged
with the tilde. Existing recordings will be handled like before, so there is
no need to actually rename them.
- The cRemote::CallPlugin() function now has a boolean return value that tells
the caller whether initiating the plugin call was successful (suggested by
Reinhard Nissl). If it returns false, another plugin call is currently pending
and the caller should try again later. This also means that the SVDRP command
PLUG can now return an error code is the call fails.
- The new function cPlugin::MainThreadHook() can be used by plugins to perform
actions in the context of the main program thread. Use this function with great
care and only of you absolutely have to! See also PLUGINS.html.

- Fixed checking for the presence of NPTL (thanks to Jouni Karvo).
- Making sure section filters are only set if the device actually has a lock
(thanks to Andreas Share for pointing this out).
- Fixed a possible NULL pointer assignment in cMenuText::SetText() (thanks to
Marco Schlüssler).
- Fixed a crash in case the last line in channels.conf is a group separator and
that group is selected in the channel display (thanks to Dick Streefland).
- Added cRingBufferLinear::Read() to read directly from a file handle into the
ring buffer.
- Using timeouts in ring buffers to avoid 'usleep()'.
- Clearing the 'Transfer Mode' ring buffer after clearing the device to avoid
an "almost full" ring buffer.
- Removed locking from cRingBufferLinear for better performance under high load.
- Using a cRingBufferLinear in cRemux to avoid unnecessary copying of data.
- Using a cRingBufferLinear in cTSBuffer and filling it in a separate thread
to avoid buffer overflows. Plugins using cTSBuffer will need to remove the
call to the now obsolete Read() function (see cDvbDevice::GetTSPacket() for
the new usage of cTSBuffer).
- cRemux::Process() has been split into Put(), Get() and Del() to allow for a
better decoupling of the remuxing and disk writing process. Plugins using
cRemux will need to be modified accordingly.
- The actual disk writing in recordings is now done in a separate thread to
improve the overall throughput.
- Changed cRemux so that it returns the maximum available amount of data with
each call, not just 2048 byte.
- Added a visual display of all cRingBufferLinear buffers for debugging. To
activate it, define DEBUGRINGBUFFERS in ringbuffer.h.
- Instead of cCondVar now using the new cCondWait (which also avoids a possible
"near miss" condition; thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for pointing out this one).
cCondVar is still present for plugins that use it (and VDR itself also still
uses it in cRemote).
- The cRingBuffer now does EnableGet()/EnablePut() only if the buffer is more than
one third full or empty, respectively. This dramatically improves recording
performance and reduces system load (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for doing some
testing regarding buffer performance and giving me some hints that finally led
to finding out that this was the basic problem causing buffer overflows).
- Improved Transfer Mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for suggestions and testing).
- Fixed a possible crash with inconsistent SI data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Fixed showing the replay mode if the OSD is currently in use (thanks to Kimmo
Tykkala for pointing out this problem).
- cOsdProvider::NewOsd() now always returns a valid pointer, even if the OSD is
currently in use (it will then return a dummy cOsd object and write a message to
the log file).
- Added Estonian language texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed 'newplugin' and libsi/Makefile to use the compiler defined in $(CXX) for
generating file dependencies (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Moved the initialization of aPid1 and aPid2 to the beginning of cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice()
to have them set in case a patch references them (thanks to Wayne Keer for pointing
this out).
- Completed the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov).
- Avoiding unnecessary section filter start/stops (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Made the "Channel not available!" message and mtInfo instead of mtError (suggested
by Wayne Keer).
- Made volume control more linear (thanks to Emil Naepflein and Udo Richter).
- Now skipping code table info in SI data (suggested by Milos Kapoun).
- Added missing Czech characters to fontosd-iso8859-2.c (thanks to Milos Kapoun).
- Fixed a crash in the time search mechanism (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- If one PID can't be added, the whole cDevice::AttachReceiver() will now fail
and all PIDs added so far will be deleted (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for
pointing out this one).
- Now only saving channels.conf after a modification made by the user (avoids
lots of disk access due to automatic channel updates). Automatic channel
modifications will be saved every 10 minutes if no recording is currently
active.
- Removed the 'Log' parameter from the cChannel::Set... functions. Instead
checking if the channel has a non-zero number.
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Hannover (thanks to Sven Kreiensen).

- Fixed some default parameters in 'skincurses'.
- Fixed cBitmap::DrawPixel(), which messed with other bitmaps' palettes in case
the pixel coordinates were outside this bitmap (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for
reporting this one).
- The cBitmap::DrawText() function now doesn't set any background pixels if the
given background color is clrTransparent. This allows drawing "transparent"
texts (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt).
- The cBitmap::SetXpm() function now ignores unused "none" color entries, which
some broken graphics tools write into XPM files (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt).
- No longer setting lnb voltage if the frontend is not DVB-S (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler).
- Fixed displaying the current channel when switching via the SVDRP command CHAN
(thanks to Jürgen Schmitz for reporting this one).
- Fixed missing audio after replaying a DVD (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added a note about the default assignment of the color keys to MANUAL.
- Added a note about NPTL ("Native Posix Thread Library") to the INSTALL file
(apparently the "fix" in version 1.3.0 didn't really fix this).
- Modified 'libsi' to require callers to state the buffer sizes when getting
strings in order to avoid buffer overflows (thanks to Philip Lawatsch for
debugging a buffer overflow in eit.c).

- Fixed a crash when switching the skin and having selected a non-default theme
that is not available for the newly selected skin (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt
for reporting this one).
- Fixed some issues with gcc 3.4 (thanks to Prakash K. Cheemplavam and Marcel
Wiesweg).
- Added a hint to PLUGINS.html about how to name a plugin that implements a skin.
- Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Single shot timers and events now show the day of week (adopted with some changes
from the "elchi" patch, orginally introduced by Oskar Signell). Plugins that use
cEvent::GetDateString() should note that this function now returns a longer
string, including the day of week. The new function const char *WeekDayName(time_t t)
can be called with a time_t value to get the day of week for that time.
- When processing XPM data, the color name "None" is now mapped to #00000000, which
is "fully transparent" (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt).
- Fixed the OSD alignment in the SPU decoder (thanks to Miko Wohlgemuth for reporting
this one and helping to test the fix).
- Fixed freezing picture when a recording starts on a system that always uses
'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Michal Dobrzynski for reporting this one).
- Fixed a memory leak in NIT processing (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Added a few missing initializations (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Moved the declaration of cMenuText to VDR/menu.h to make it available to plugins.
It now also has a SetText() function that can be used to dynamically set the text
in an already existing cMenuText (both suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Added play mode pmVideoOnly (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Added a missing cStatus::MsgOsdClear() to cDisplayChannel::~cDisplayChannel()
(thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- No longer displaying unused color buttons in the "Classic VDR" skin (thanks to
Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
- Added some missing cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() calls (thanks to Oliver Endriss for
reporting this one).

- Fixed reading the EPG preferred language parameter from 'setup.conf'.
- Fixed switching to a visible programme in case the current channel has neither
a video nor an audio PID.
- Fixed editing channels (SID now range checked) and creating new channels (NID,
TID and RID are now set to 0).
- Fixed transponder handling to make it work with satellites that provide two
transponders on the same frequency, with different polarization, like Hispasat
at S30.0W (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl for pointing this out). See man vdr(5)
for details about the enhanced channel ID format.
- Since there appears to be no general solution for the UPT error yet, a recording
now initiates an "emergency exit" if the number of UPT errors during one
recording exceeds 10 (suggested by Gregoire Favre). Since the UPT error doesn't
happen on my system, this has not been explicitly tested.
The "preliminary fix" for the UPT error in VDR/dvbdevice.c has been disabled
by default, since it makes channel switching unpleasently slow. If you want
to have that workaround back, you can uncomment the line
//#define WAIT_FOR_LOCK_AFTER_TUNING 1
in VDR/dvbdevice.c.
- Adapted the 'sky' plugin to use the actual channel IDs, and to fetch EPG data
from www.bleb.org.
- Limited automatic retuning to devices that actually provide the transponder
(necessary for the 'sky' plugin).
- Fixed handling receivers in the 'sky' plugin, so that a recording on the same
channel won't interrupt an ongoing Transfer Mode.
- Added subtable ID and TSDT handling to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Fixed some Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov).
- Added the 'running status' to the EPG events. This is necessary for implementing
the VPS function for recording.
- Removed the obsolete 'present' and 'following' handling from the EPG data.
- The EPG data is now always kept sorted chronologically in the internal data
structures. This also means that any EPG data retrieved through the SVRDP
command LSTE is guaranteed to be sorted by start time.
- Now using the 'running status' in the channel display, so that a programme
that has an end time that is before the current time, but is still running,
will still be shown in the display (provided the broadcasters handle the
'running status' flag correctly). This also applies to programmes that have
a start time that is in the future, but are already running.
- Implemented an "EPG linger time", which can be set to have older EPG information
still displayed in the "Schedule" menu (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti).
- Added PDCDescriptor handling to 'libsi'.
- Implemented handling the VPS timestamps (aka "Programme Identification Label")
for full VPS support for timers (provided the tv stations actually broadcast
this information). The VPS time is displayed in the event info page if it exists
and is different than the event's start time.
- Extended the SVDRP command LSTE to allow limiting the listed data to a given
channel, the present or following events, or events at a given time (thanks to
Thomas Heiligenmann).
- Fixed a typo in libsi/si.h (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias).
- Timers can now be set to use the VPS information to control recording a programme.
The new setup options "Recording/Use VPS" and "Recording/VPS margin", as well as
the "VPS" option in the individual timers, can be used to control this feature
(see MANUAL for details).
Note that this feature will certainly need a lot of testing before it can be
called "safe"!
- The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus now have an additional column
which displays information on whether there is a timer defined for an event,
whether an event has a VPS time that's different than its start time, and
whether an event is currently running (see MANUAL under "The "Schedule" Menu"
for details).

- Fixed resetting the EPG data versions after changing the preferred languages
(thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one and helping to debug it).
- Added LinkageDescriptor handling to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Added Russian language texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov).
Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact
the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 17
different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 17 versions for each of
your texts.
- Some corrections and additions to the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf
Ahrenberg and Niko Tarnanen).
- Fixed a wrong 'delta' value in the call to the shutdown script (thanks to
Stephan Epstein for reporting this one).
- Activated detection of radio channels (to avoid reports about "channels not
being detected that used to be detected with the 'scan' utility or the
original 'autopid' patch ;-).
- Channels with a zero VPID no longer write a PPID into channels.conf.
- Short channel names are now only stored if they actually differ from the
full name.
- The EPG scan now scans newly found transponders together with already existing
ones.
- The "Red" button in the "Setup/EPG" menu can now be used to force an EPG
scan on a single DVB card system (see MANUAL for details).
- The new SVDRP command 'SCAN' can be used to force an EPG scan on a single
DVB card system (see MANUAL under Setup/EPG for details).
- Fixed handling PID changes in 'Transfer Mode'.
- Excess blanks in channel names read from the SDT are now removed.
- Fixed wrong parameter settings when scanning NITs for terrestrial transponders
(thanks to Christian Tramnitz for pointing out this one).
- Fixed some out of bounds parameter settings when scanning NITs for cable
and satellite transponders.
- Added 'libsi' include files to the 'include' directory, so that plugins can
use them (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Now only processing NITs that contain the transponder they are actually
broadcast on.
- Fixed setting the source type for newly detected terrestrial transponders
(thanks to Christian Tramnitz for his support in debugging this).

- Fixed a lockup in the EPG scanner when no non-primary device was available
(thanks to Martin Holst for reporting this one).
- Fixed a compiler warning about virtual cConfig::Load() functions (thanks to
Lauri Tischler for reporting this one).
- Fixed a warning about character comparison in libsi/si.c (thanks to Lauri
Tischler for reporting this one).
- The new parameter "Update channels" in the "Setup/DVB" menu can be used to
control if and how channels will be automatically updated (see MANUAL).
This has already been part of the 'autopid' patch by Andreas Schultz and has
now been adopted.
- Fixed a crash in case there is no DVB hardware present (thanks to Sascha
Volkenandt for reporting this one).
- Changed calculation of channel ids to make it work for tv stations that use
the undefined NID value 0 (thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one).
- Enhanced the SDT filter to handle multi part sections.
- Added support for selecting preferred EPG languages (based upon a patch by
Teemu Rantanen).
- Fixed a 'const' in libsi/si.h (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Fixed the 'su' call in 'runvdr' to make it work on systems that require the
user name to appear before the command option (thanks to Robert Huitl).
- Fixed testing for matching section filters in case they are turned off (thanks
to Marcel Wiesweg).
- In case of incomplete sections an error message is now logged only every 10
seconds.
- Fixed a possible NULL pointer access in cEITScanner::Process() (thanks to
Andreas Kool).
- The actual transponder data is now taken from the NIT and existing channels
are adjusted if necessary. If the NIT contains new transponders, they are
scanned for channels during the next EPG scan. Note that only the satellite
branches are tested, cable and terrestrial need to be tested by somebody who
actually has such equipment.
