2004-07-18	Version 1.3.12vdr-1.3.12	Klaus Schmidinger
	- Removed all error messages from cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() and just skipping entries that cause errors in order to avoid failure in case of things like broken links etc. - The function cTimers::SetEvents() now immediately returns if there is some user input. - Fixed handling menu status messages when the list contents is scrolled (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for reporting this one). - Fixed checking the last area for misalignment in cOsd::CanHandleAreas() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - No longer adding section filters to the list of filters if they can't be opened (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing this out). - Fixed handling error case '-1' when polling section filters (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling error case '-1' when polling CAM connections. - Making sure the OSD reports oeWrongAlignment errors before any oeAreasOverlap error (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). - Avoiding flashing effects in the OSD of full featured DVB cards by explicitly clearing the OSD windows before opening them (suggested by Marco Schlüßler). - Experimental support for NVOD channels. Currently these channels are detected and linked to their "base" channels using the same mechanisms as for the "linked services" (let's see if this is useful). Thanks to Mike parker for helping to test this. Also used some input from the 'autopid' patch by Andreas Schultz). - Now storing the name of the service provider (aka "bouquet") in the channel name, separated by a semicolon (see man vdr(5) for details). Explicit usage of the various parts of the channel name is yet to come. - The 'radio' channel icon is now only displayed in the ST:TNG skin if the channel actually has an APID.
2004-02-08	Version 1.3.4vdr-1.3.4	Klaus Schmidinger
	- Fixed handling language codes in case there is no audio or Dolby PID. - Fixed handling CA ids (was broken in 1.3.3). - Fixed the SVDRP command 'STAT DISK' to avoid a 'division by 0' in case the disk is full (thanks to Jens Rosenboom). - Fixed handling bitmap indexes for 256 color mode (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Now handling "linked services" (based on the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz). Linked channels are detected and added to 'channels.conf', but currently they are not yet presented to the user other than being in the normal channel list (this will come later). - Preliminary fix for the "Unknown picture type error" (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for his support in debugging this one). This may slow down switching between channels on different transponders for now, but a better solution will come later. - Fixed the validity check for channel IDs, because some providers use TIDs with value 0 (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl). - Enabled switching to a channel even if it has no Vpid or Apid set, because these might be automatically set when tuned to that transponder. - No longer closing the Channels menu after trying to switch to a channel that is currently not available. - Removed the now obsolete CaCaps stuff. The Setup/CICAM menu now displays the actual CAM type as reported by the CAM. The 'ca.conf' file has been stripped down to the values 0..4.

	- 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.
2004-01-04	Version 1.3.0vdr-1.3.0	Klaus Schmidinger
	- 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).
