WARNING:
========

This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive
environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.

From the HISTORY file:
- Added maximum SNR value for PCTV Systems nanoStick T2 290e (thanks to Antti
  Hartikainen).
- Added a remark indicating that the coordinates of Rect in a call to
  cDevice::CanScaleVideo() are in the range of the width and height returned by
  GetOsdSize() (suggested by Reinhard Nissl).
- Modified the Makefiles (thanks to Christopher Reimer).
  By default VDR is now built according to the FHS ("File system Hierarchy Standard"),
  and a plain "make" in the VDR source directory just builds everything, but doesn't
  copy it to ./PLUGINS/lib and ./locale any more. You can use a Make.config file
  (copied from Make.config.template) and set the parameter LCLBLD=1 to have everything
  built and installed under the VDR source tree (as was the default in previous
  versions). If you already have your own Make.config file, you may want to copy the
  new Make.config.template and adapt it to your needs. If you don't want VDR's data
  files to be spread around your system according to the FHS, you can set the
  parameter ONEDIR=1 (using Make.config) to have all files in one /video directory as
  before.
- Fixed the example for cReceiver in PLUGINS.html.
- Fixed sorting recordings in case two folders have the same name, but one of them
  ends in an additional digit, as in "abc" and "abc2" (reported by Andreas Mair).
- Added "repeat" function when using the keyboard to control VDR (thanks to Reinhard
  Nissl).
- The SVDRP command LSTR now knows the additional parameter "path", which can be
  given to get the actual file name of a recording's directory (suggested by
  Stefan Stolz).
- Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there
  are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (reported by Andreas
  Mair).
- Absolute jumps when replaying a recording (via the Red key) are now only performed
  if an actual value has been entered (suggested by Ulf Kiener).
- The last replayed recording is now stored in setup.conf, which allows the blue
  "Resume" key in the main menu to work even after a restart of VDR.
- The SVDRP command NEWT no longer checks whether a timer with the given data already
  exists (suggested by Malte Forkel).
- Implemented scaling of SPU bitmaps (thanks to Johann Friedrichs).
- Improved cutting MPEG-2 video (thanks to Sören Moch).
- Reduced the number of retries in cTransfer::Receive() to avoid blocking recordings
  in case the primary device can't handle the current live signal.
