- 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).

- When scrolling through a list it now moves a full page up or down when the cursor reaches the top or bottom of the menu (thanks to Heino Goldenstein!). - Added missing '#include <sys/stat.h>' to recording.c. - The video directory can now be defined with the command line option -v. - There can now be more than one video directory (in case you have several disks). - Fixed learning key codes for PC keyboard. - New command line option '-l' to set the log level. - Times in timers.conf are now always printed with 4 digits (leading '0'). - Slow forward/back mode (thanks to Guido Fiala!). - The "Up" key in replay mode no longer restarts replay at the very beginning, but rather resumes normal replay mode after a "pause", "forward" or "backward" operation. Use the "Skip -60s" function repeatedly to go back to the beginning of the recording. - Improved reaction on user input in fast/slow forward/back modes. - No more upper limit for the value of 'Pnr'. - Checking if the video card is really a DVB card. - New SVDRP command UPDT to update an existing timer (or add a new one if it doesn't yet exist). - New version of the 'epg2timers' tool (with a modified channel list). - Bugfix in closing window in DEBUG_OSD mode.

- Added support for LIRC remote control (thanks to Carsten Koch!). There are now three different remote control modes: KBD (PC-Keyboard), RCU and LIRC. See the INSTALL file for information on how to enable either of these modes. The default mode is now KBD, not RCU as before (to make it work immediately even if there is no actual remote control). - Fixed small bug in dvbapi.c that was causing some channels (many on hotbird) not to be correctly tuned (thanks to Plamen Ganev!). - Now clearing the replay buffer in search forward/back, which results in faster reaction. - The 'Recordings' menu is now listed alphabetically (thanks to Carsten Koch!). - The new 'epg2timers' tool (thanks to Carsten Koch!) can be used to convert an EPG "merkliste" page (http://www.tvtv.de) to vdr timer entries. - The new 'xtvrc2vdr' tool (thanks to Plamen Ganev!) can be used to convert 'xtvrc' channel files into 'vdr' format. - When more than one timer matches at the same time, the first one in the list with the highest 'Priority' is selected. - The MANUAL section on "Programming the Timer" has been filled in. - The year in the "Recordings" menu as well as in the progress display during replay has been reduced to 2 digits to allow more space for the recording's title. In the internal file structure the year is still stored with 4 digits, so there will be no problem at the next turn of the century ;-) - Channel names and timer filenames can now contain blanks. To avoid problems with file names that contain blanks, all blanks in recording file names are converted to underscores. - The polarization can now be given in uppercase or lowercase characters in channels.conf. - Fixed buffer initialization to work with DVB driver version 0.6. - Implemented the "Simple Video Disk Recorder Protocol" (SVDRP) to control the VDR over a network connection. - Implemented command line option handling. - The program can now run in full background mode by using the --daemon option. - Added a "summary" field to the timers (thanks to Carsten Koch!). This field can contain a descriptive text of the programme and will be displayed when the "Blue" key is pressed on a recording that was created by this timer. If the text contains the special character '|', a newline will be inserted at that place. When pressing "Ok" on a timer that contains a summary field, the summary will be displayed. To edit such a timer the "Red" key must be pressed. Timers without a summary still go into Edit mode when pressing "Ok". The summary field can only be filled in directly by editing the 'timers.conf' file with a text editor, or by defining/modifying the timer via the SVDRP interface.
