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.

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:
- Changed the type of the TimerMatch parameter in cSkinDisplayMenu::SetItemEvent() from
'int' to 'eTimerEvent' (reported by Christoph Haubrich).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed cOsd::GetBitmap() to always return NULL if a non-exising area is requested.
- Added several missing "`ls $^`" in the calls to xgettext in plugin Makefiles and the
"newplugin" script.
- Fixed setting the --package-name and --package-version options in the calls to
xgettext in several plugin Makefiles.
- Added "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE" to the
DEFINES in the Makefile (somehow got lost from Make.config.template in version 1.7.13).
- Removed some redundancy in the Makefile/Make.global/Make.config mechanism (suggested
by Christopher Reimer). The file Make.global is no longer used, and plugin Makefiles
don't include the file Make.config any more. Instead they now retrieve all necessary
information through calls to pkg-config.
- The plugin Makefiles now have a separate 'install' target (suggested by Christopher
Reimer). In order to still allow the normal building of VDR (with all plugins in its
./PLUGINS/src subdirectory, the plugin libraries in ./PLUGINS/lib and the i18n files in
./locale) the VDR Makefile checks the settings of LIBDIR and LOCDIR when building the
plugins from within the VDR source directory. If these macros have their default values,
then the 'install' targets of the plugins' Makefiles are called. Otherwise the 'all'
targets are called and the plugins are merely built, and will have to be installed by a
call to 'make install-plugins'. This now also allows a user to copy a plugin source to
any directory, change into that directory and do 'make' and 'make install' to have the
plugin installed to wherever the local installation of VDR expects them.
- Plugin Makefiles now use DESTDIR and the 'install' program (thanks to Christopher Reimer).
- Due to the changes to the plugin Makefiles, existing plugins will not build with this
version of VDR any more. You can either use the new 'newplugin' script to generate a
dummy plugin directory and use the Makefile from there (adapting it to your particular
plugin), or apply the patch from
ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.33-pluginmakefile.diff
to your Makefile to make the necessary changes (see comments in that file for details).
- Added the new menu categories mcChannelEdit, mcTimerEdit, mcScheduleNow, mcScheduleNext,
mcRecordingInfo, mcPluginSetup, mcSetupOsd, mcSetupEpg, mcSetupDvb, mcSetupLnb,
mcSetupCam, mcSetupRecord, mcSetupReplay, mcSetupMisc and mcSetupPlugins.
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed replay stuttering close to the end of an ongoing recording (reported by Andreas
Regel).
- Fixed cIndexFile::GetNextIFrame() to properly handle the case where the very last frame
is an I-frame (which normally shouldn't occur).
- Fixed replaying ongoing recordings from other VDR instances.

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.
IMPORTANT:
==========
This version comes with revised versions of the Makefiles for VDR itself
and all of its standard plugins. As a result of this, existing plugins
will no longer build with this version of VDR, unless their Makefiles are
properly adapted. To do so, please follow the instructions given below.
There is also a generic patch (see below) that might help you update your
plugin's Makefile. If you do want to build this version of VDR with plugins
that don't have their Makefiles adapted yet, you can simply copy the Makefile,
Make.global and Make.config (if applicable) files from a previous version
of VDR into this source and use them. Note, though, that you cannot mix
old and new Makefiles. All Makefiles for VDR and all plugins must be either
old or new!
PLEASE GIVE THE PLUGIN DEVELOPERS SOME TIME TO ADAPT THEIR MAKEFILES
ACCORDINGLY. AFTER ALL, IT'S CHRISTMAS, SO THEY PROBABLY HAVE BETTER
THINGS TO DO THAN SIT AT THEIR COMPUTERS ;-).

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:
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Changed the Green button in the "Edit timer" menu from "Once" to "Single"
(suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed some typos in HISTORY and CONTRIBUTORS (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- The channel name column in the "What's on now/next" menu now adjusts its width
to display the full short name of each channel (suggested by Dominic Evans).
- Dropped the meanwhile obsolete script 'i18n-to-gettext'.
- Removed the obsolete function cPlugin::RegisterI18n().
- Removed the obsolete typedef tI18nPhrase.
- Adapted menu column widths of 'skincurses' to the wider HD OSD sizes.
- Deactivated definition of __RECORDING_H_DEPRECATED_DIRECT_MEMBER_ACCESS (recording.h)
and LEGACY_CRECEIVER (receiver.h) to trigger an error for any plugin that still
uses the respective code. You can reactivate these to quickly make your plugin
compile again, but beware that these code parts will be removed in one of the next
versions.
- Made the "overloaded-virtual" warning an error to detect hidden overloaded
virtual functions (thanks to Anssi Hannula for pointing out -Werror=...).
Plugin authors may want to change -Woverloaded-virtual to -Werror=overloaded-virtual
in their Makefiles.
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Improved fast forwarding to the end of a timeshift recording.
- The new function cDevice::DeviceName() returns a string identifying the name of
the given device.
- When toggling a timer between "Single" and "Repeating", the previous setting is now
retained in case the user toggles back to the original value.
- When estimating the remaining disk space (in hours), the average data rate of all
existing recordings is now taken into account. If this value can't be determined,
the previous value of 25.75 MB/min is taken.
- No longer using GetFont() (which is not thread safe) in the 'osddemo' plugin.
- No longer using GetFont() (which is not thread safe) in cSubtitleRegion::UpdateTextData().
- Fixed a memory leak in cSubtitleRegion::UpdateTextData().
- Moved setting LC_NUMERIC further up to make sure any floating point numbers use a
decimal point (suggested by Tobias Grimm).
- Added missing channel locking to cEIT.
- Fixed reduced bpp support for DVB subtitles (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Reverted some improvements to Make.config.template (thanks to Christian Ruppert).
- Fixed handling IDLEPRIORITY in cDvbDevice::ProvidesChannel() (thanks to Frank
Schmirler).

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:
- Now checking for NULL in cOsd::AddPixmap() (suggested by Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed the German translation of "VDR will shut down in %s minutes" (thanks to
Frank Neumann).
- The replay progress display is now turned on whenever a mark is toggled (not
only when one is set).
- Toggling a mark now restarts the timeout of the replay progress display.
- Fixed a possible race condition with the SVDRP commands CLRE and PUTE, where
EPG data from the transponder could be handled even though it shouldn't be
handled for 10 seconds.
- Added some missing member initializations in cBitmap.
- Improved displaying the play mode in the ST:TNG skin.
- Made the ST:TNG skin the default in case the user selected skin is not available.
- Improved displaying signal strength and quality in the ST:TNG skin's channel
display.
- Fixed switching devices to the transponders of VPS recordings in case there
are only bonded devices. The cDevice's "avoid device" mechanism has been replaced
by using "occupied".
- Fixed selecting devices for the EPG scan in case the primary device is bonded
with an other one.
- Removed the calls to EITScanner.UsesDevice(this) from dvb[hs]ddevice.c, because
the code following these calls is only executed if LiveView is true, which is
never the case when the EITScanner switches to a channel.
- Removed the obsolete function cEITScanner::UsesDevice(). If a plugin has used this
function to find out whether a call to its cStatus::ChannelSwitch() function was
due to a live channel switch, it can use that function's new parameter LiveView.
Any plugins that implement cStatus::ChannelSwitch() need to add the parameter
'bool LiveView' to that function.
- Fixed parsing channel data in case the audio pid is 0. On channels that only
broadcast Dolby Digital audio there were sometimes log entries like
"changing pids of channel ... from ... to ..." with no apparent difference
between the old and new set of pids.
- Fixed checking pids in case a channel has only Dolby Digital audio.
- The Green button in the "Edit timer" menu can now be used to toggle between single
shot and repeating timers. This is the same as pressing '0' when the "Day" field
is selected, but it works at any time (and is more obvious).
- Revoked "If the first event in a schedule has a table id of 0x00, any incoming EIT data for
that schedule from the DVB stream will be completely ignored".
- Added a new plugin interface for implementing EPG handlers.
+ A plugin can implement an EPG handler by creating an object derived from
cEpgHandler and implementing the necessary member functions.
+ The special handling of events with table id 0x00 has been dropped.
For backwards compatibility EPG events with table ids lower than 0x4E will
be treated as if they had a table id of 0x4E, and the new plugin 'epgtableid0'
can be used to have them handled like in previous versions.
+ The default table id for a newly created cEvent has been changed to 0xFF,
which is higher than any normal table id that is broadcast in the EIT data.
See PLUGINS.html, section "Electronic Program Guide" for more information.
