+VDR Plugin 'block' Revision History
+-----------------------------------
+
+2010/04/20: Version 0.0.1b
+
+Initial release.
+
+Fix: 'Ok' now in fact unlocks a blocked broadcast reliably
+ (switch function was moved to destructor of control.c)
+
+
+**************************************************************************
+2010/04/19: Version 0.0.1
+
+First version.
+
+This version is based on a cvs checkout (20100113) of the orphaned
+vdr-plugin taste originally coded by LordJaxom aka Sascha Volkenandt.
+Unfortunately the taste plugin did not work on vdr machines lacking a full
+feature dvb card. So i tried to change some code to achieve compatibility
+with a broader range of configs and finally came up with a new version that
+does the job on machines with a ff-card as well as on budget solutions (in
+my case the dxr3) and state-of-the-art softdevice configurations. This patch
+can be found here:
+http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=92550
+
+Tobi then kindly offered me the opportunity to continue the development of
+the taste plugin on projects.vdr-developer.org and i asked Sascha how he
+feels about that, but he did not answer. So i decided to publish the new
+version as a fork called 'block'. This way Saschas work will remain
+untouched and i am completely free to continue my work on the plugin.
+
+
+Differences in the block plugin
+-------------------------------
+
+** New features:
+
+-Compatibility with non-ff output including budget and state-of-the-art
+softdevice configurations added (channel switch analysis changed)
+-Implementation of syslog functions (BLOCK_LOGGING in the Makefile set
+ to 1 or 0 respectively will switch logging on/off)
+ ATTENTION: This will add lots of entries to your syslog!
+
+
+** Patches:
+
+Patches by tomg and mapovi which were written for the taste plugin were
+applied to a were applied to a clean cvs checkout of the taste plugin
+on 2010/01/13 so that they are permanently build in the block plugin now.
+
+Locale patch:
+ - fixed clean target of Makefile
+ - adapted Makefile to current newplugin template
+ - use translations of main vdr
+ - exclude old i18n parts by ifdefs
+Version compatibility:
+ Changes for VDR >= 1.5.0 (applicable to VDR >= 1.4.5)
+Makefile fix:
+ added -fPIC to compiler options to prevent FTBFS
+
+Some additional information can be found here:

+Thanks to tomg and mapovi for their kind permission to use the patches.
