+VDR Plugin 'epgsearch' Revision History
+---------------------------------------
+2007-xx-xx: Version 0.9.24
+new:
+- new SVDRP command 'LSCC' that returns the results of a timer conflict 
+  check. See the MANUAL for details about the format of the result list.
+- the EPG command 'Search in recordings' now evaluates the info.vdr instead of the
+  recordings path name and also does fuzzy searching, suggested by Mase@vdrportal
+- search timers with action 'switch only' and switch timers now have an additional 
+  option 'unmute sound' which unmutes audio at the event, if it was off, suggested 
+  by Michael Brückner
+- speedup in searching and search timer updates (about 25%)
+fixes: 
+- shifting the time display: the start time now only gets displayed in 
+  'Overview - Now' instead of a progressbar, if there's not already a start time 
+  in the menu template ('%time%') as in the default template, 
+  thanks to Getty@vdrportal for reporting
+- fixed some issues regarding GPL, thanks to Thomas G�nther for reporting 
+- fixed a crash when no EPG is present, thanks to Petri Helin for providing a patch
+- the default value for maximum duration is now '23:59' to avoid problems with 
+  external tools, thanks to ralf-naujokat@bugtracker for reporting (bug-id #371)
+- after an EPG change of less then 10 minutes epgsearch modified a timer instead of
+  creating a new one. This caused problems with events with less then 10 minutes. The
+  tolerance is therefore now min(<event duration>, 10 min). Thanks to Janne Liimatainen
+  for reporting.
+- fixed some translations, thanks to ramirez@vdrportal for reporting
+- speed improvement when scrolling through EPG menus, thanks to ramirez@vdrportal for 
+  reporting
+- fixed a crash, when SIGINT is signaled while background threads startup
+- channel group separators in 'Overview Now/Next/...' are now hidden if they are 
+  empty like in ':@30', thanks to Ulf Kiener for providing a patch
+
+2007-09-02: Version 0.9.23
+new: 
+- full support for new i18n system in vdr>=1.5.7, but keeps fully backwards 
+  compatible
+- when using extended EPG categories one can now also compare by value, e.g.
+  to search for events after some year.
+  Therefore new searchmodes (10 which means '<', 11 which means '<=', ...) 
+  were introduced in the file epgsearchcats.conf. Example:
+
+    # 'until year'
+    3|Year|until year||11
+    # 'from year'
+    12|Year|from year||13  
+  
+  One could use this also to search for a specific season of a series, if this
+  data is part of the EPG. See the section <epgsearchcats.conf> in the documentation
+  for a complete list of all search modes.
+- The edit menu for search timers has now a switch 'Ignore missing categories' for 
+  extended EPG categories. If set to 'Yes' this tells epgsearch that a missing EPG 
+  category should not exclude an event from the results. Caution: Using this without 
+  any other criterions could flood your timers.
+- Search timers have now an 'auto delete' feature. The edit menu therefor provides:
+    * after x recordings, or
+    * after x days after first recording
+  Only complete recordings are counted. The deletion of the search timer is executed
+  directly after the end of the corresponding recording
+- new action "Create a copy" in menu Search/Actions to create and edit a copy of the 
+  current search, suggested by Michael Br�ckner.
+- the option "use as search timer" has now a third value 'user defined' besides 'yes' 
+  and 'no', that allows specifying a time margin where the search timer is active, 
+  suggested by jo01@vdrportal
+- the progressbar now displays the start time instead of an empty bar, when 
+  shifting to future events, thanks to zulu@vdrportal for providing a patch.
+- menu "show timers created" shows now summary for the timers done with 'Ok'. 
+  Also the shortcuts '1..9' for the EPG-commands are available.
+- built-in pin-plugin patch (no more need to patch epgsearch). Activate
+  it by compiling with 'USE_PINPLUGIN' in VDR's Make.config (as already done in
+  VDR extension patch)
+- built-in graphtft-plugin patch (no more need to patch epgsearch). Activate
+  it by compiling with 'USE_GRAPHTFT' in VDR's Make.config (as already done in
+  VDR extension patch)
+- update of finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg
+- update of french translation, thanks to Patrice Staudt
+- added file README.Translators with notes for translators
+fixes:
+- fixed a bug in timer creation after navigating through the summary menu,
+  thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting
+- Label "Record" or "Timer" in menu summary fixed with respect to existing timer.
+- fixed switch timers in the case when EPG has changed, thanks to Juergen Urban 
+  for providing a patch
+- fixed some compiler warnings in g++-4.2, thanks to Michael Br�ckner for reporting
+- added "," to the allowed characters for a search timer, thanks to Mike Constabel for
+  reporting.
+
+2007-05-27: Version 0.9.22
+new:
+- new option in timer conflict check "When a recording starts": 
+  This performs a conflict check when any recording starts and informs 
+  about it via OSD if the conflict is within the next 2h. So also timers not
+  created with epgsearch are checked, the same for instant recordings.
+- new service interface "Epgsearch-services-v1.0": This allows other plugins
+  to access and manage many components of epgsearch as searchtimers, setup 
+  values,... and execute tasks like searching for repeats (Have a look at
+  services.h for more information).
+- new project homepage: http://winni.vdr-developer.org/epgsearch, many thanks 
+  to Thomas Keil, sorry, only german at the moment ;)
+- update for finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg
+fixes:
+- complete rewrite of the summary menu and its navigation to avoid problems
+  with skins and fix some other bugs.
+- when testing for repeats now also the comparison with the done-file only
+  checks the alphanumeric portions of title and episode
+- fixed another issue with quotes when calling commands for EPG events
+- some license changes and additions for integration in Debian repositories
+- fixed a bug in displayed time, when using user defined times and shifting 
+  with FRew/FFwd, thanks to Torsten Weigelt for reporting
+- the aux info about the channel was not added in 'one press timer creation'.
+  Thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for providing a patch.
+
+2007-04-29: Version 0.9.21
+new:
+- support for the new MainMenuHooksPatch. This replaces the 
+  vdr-replace-schedulemenu patch. The new patch is used by other plugins too, 
+  so from now on only one patch is needed. The old patch is still supported, 
+  but this will be removed in the next releases.
+- announcements of broadcasts via OSD have been completely redesigned. Instead 
+  of displaying them event by event, you get now 
+  "x new broadcast(s) found! Show them?". Pressing 'Ok' shows a menu of all 
+  events with the usual functions as in other EPG menus. With "Edit" you can 
+  modify the announce settings (like "announce again: yes/no" or announce again 
+  after day x).
+- timer conflict notifications via OSD can now be supressed while replaying. 
+  Nevertheless, if a conflict comes up within the next 2 hours the message gets
+  still displayed.
+- all addon plugins (epgsearchonly, quickepgsearch, conflictcheckonly) now
+  have a setup option to toggle the main menu entry on/off, thanks to Tobias
+  Grimm for providing a patch.
+- channel name in aux info of manual timers, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for 
+  providing a patch.
+- new script undoneepgsearch.sh to undo a timer within the recordings menu, 
+  more info at:
+  http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=574109#post574109
+  Thanks to the author Christian Jacobsen
+- update for french translation, thanks to Patrice
+  Staudt 
+- update for finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg 
+- menu 'timer conflicts details' now also shows the date of the conflict in 
+  menu title, suggested by Rusk@vdrportal.
+- the password for mail authentication is now hidden in the OSD, i.e. 
+  represented with '***...' 
+- the setup for mail notifications now also has a "Send to" address, because
+  some providers don't allow the same address for sender and recipient. 
+  If "Send to" is not set, epgsearch automatically uses the sender address as 
+  recipient.
+- when testing for repeats (with feature 'Avoid repeats') epgsearch now only 
+  compares the alphanumeric portions of title and episode and ignores the case 
+  too. Suggested by chello@vdrportal.
+- thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for finnish translation update 
+- added '&' to the set of valid chars for search terms
+fixes:
+- the tags stored in the aux info of the timers created with search timers 
+  conform now to correct XML syntax (no capitals, no blanks). E.g. "Search timer"
+  will be changed to "searchtimer". So don't wonder if the first search timer 
+  update will modify all existent timers created with search timers. Thanks to
+  Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting.
+- update of recordingdone.sh because of the previous changes, thanks to 
+  Mike Constabel for providing a patch 
+- fixed a segfault in the case of misconfigured extended EPG categories.
+- scrolling text items now works again, if your skin supports this. 
+  Thanks to ufauser@vdrportal for reporting.
+- setup option "Use search timers" now always gets automatically enabled, if 
+  one toggles a search to 'active' or manually starts a search timer update.
+- fixed handling of double quotes in title/episode when passed to userdefined 
+  EPG commands, thanks to Mike Constabel for reporting.
+- fixed menu handling in search timer templates menu, thanks to wombel@vdrportal 
+  for reporting.
+
+2007-01-30: Version 0.9.20
+new:
+- support for vdr-1.5.0. Note: the CA support in the timer conflict check is
+  highly experimental because I have no CAMs to test it!
+- epgsearch can now also modify manual timers according to EPG changes. When
+  using epgsearch's own timer edit menu you can select between
+  * no check
+  * by event ID
+  * by channel/time
+  Please refer to the README (1.4.4 Setup/Timer Programming/Default timer check
+  method) for further notes.
+- the timespan used in the favorites menu can now be adjusted via
+  setup. Default is 24h. 
+- Event announcements: If the user presses one of the keys 'Ok', '0', ... '9'
+  while the announcement of an event is displayed, he will be asked if further
+  announcements of this event should be disabled for ever (user hit '0' or
+  'Ok') or for the next 'x' days (user hit '1' to '9'). After pressing 'Ok'
+  again, this setting will be stored.
+- With the new setup option "No announcements when replaying" you can now
+  suppress any announcements of broadcasts when you currently replay
+  anything. Suggested by Andreas Mair.
+- Besides the done file for recordings there is now a done file for timers
+  (timersdone.conf). This allows deleting timers without getting them again
+  with the next search timer update. With the new menu 'Show timers created'
+  in Search/Actions one can edit this list. The whole feature can be disabled
+  in the search timers setup. Note: the done list is only populated with
+  timers that were newly created with this release. 
+- new addon plugin 'quickepgsearch': it creates a main menu entry 'Quick
+  search' and can be used to search for any event in the EPG. Include it with
+  '-Pquickepgsearch' , suggested by SurfaceCleanerZ@vdrportal. 
+- new setup option "Limit channels from 1 to" to speed up epgsearchs call. If
+  the current channel is above the limit, all channels will be
+  displayed. Suggested by Uwe@vdrportal.
+- new SVDRP commands:
+  * 'LSRD' returns a list of all recording directories used
+    in existing recordings, timers, search timers or as specified in
+    epgsearchdirs.conf
+  * 'LSTT [ID]' to list all search templates, or the one with the passed ID
+    (format is the same as epgsearch.conf)
+  * 'NEWT <settings>' to add a new search template
+    REMARK: the value of element ID is ignored. epgsearch will always
+    assign the next free ID
+  * 'DELT <ID>' to delete the search template with ID
+  * 'EDIT <settings>' to modify an existing search template
+  * 'DEFT [ID]' returns the ID of the default search template. When passing an
+    ID it activates the corresponding template as default.
+- modified SVDRP commands:
+  * 'DELS [ID] [DELT]' now also deletes created timers for search with ID when
+    passing the optional 'DELT'.
+- you can now also use sendmail for mail delivery besides the script
+  sendemail.pl (-> setup), suggested by Patrick Cernko
+- new variables:
+  * '%timespan%' to be used in menus or mails. It will be replaced
+    with the timespan from now to the begin of an event (e.g. 'in 15m'). It is
+    now used in the default menu template of the favorites menu, where the date
+    field was removed.
+  * '%length%' for the length of a broadcast in seconds.
+- thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for finnish translation update 
+fixes:
+- manually created timers are now neither deleted nor modified by any search
+  timers. 
+- the addon conflictcheckonly was compiled even if WITHOUT_CONFLICTCHECKONLY
+  was defined in the Makefile, thanks to Ronny Kornexl for reporting.
+- search term and directory support now the characters '�' (only for language
+  german) and '@'. 
+- 'avoid repeats' had a bug (in some special cases) that created a timer for any
+  later repeat instead of the first event.
+- a search with "Use day of week" AND "Use time" where "Start before" is after
+  midnight now also matches events on the next day til "Start
+  before". E.g. "Start after 22:00" and "Start before 03:00" on monday will
+  also match an event at 01:00 at tuesday.
+- already recording timers are now modified only, if the timers stop time has
+  changed (e.g. by an EPG update), thanks to Mike Constabel for reporting.
+- fixed a bug in evaluation of user variables, thanks to Mike Constabel for
+  reporting and remote debugging
+- fixed a bug in conflict mail notification concerning timers without assigned
+  events 
+
+2006-10-27: Version 0.9.19
+new:
+- if search results of different searches intersect, now only the search that
+  initially created a corresponding timer may modify it.
+- new variables:
+  * '%search.query%' to be used in the recording directory of a search
+    timer. Will be substituted to the query of a search timer. 
+  * '%videodir%' VDR video directory (e.g. /video)
+  * '%plugconfdir%' VDR plugin config directory (e.g. /etc/vdr/plugins)
+  * '%epgsearchdir%' epgsearchs config directory
+    (e.g. /etc/vdr/plugins/epgsearch) 
+- the syntax of the 'system' command within a user variable has changed to be
+  more flexible. It's now: 
+  %uservar%=system(/path/to/script[, parameters]) 
+  where the optional 'parameters' can now be any expression using other
+  variables except directly using conditional expressions or other system
+  calls. 
+- update for french translation, thanks to Patrice Staudt
+fixes:
+- VPS timers created by search timers are now always updated to their VPS time,
+  even if the user has changed start/stop time.
+- after editing the setup any menu templates defined in epgsearchmenu.conf
+  were reset to defaults, thanks to s.krueger@vdrportal for reporting.
+- existing VDR serial timers are not modified anymore to regular timers by the
+  search timer update.
+
+2006-10-01: Version 0.9.18
+new:
+- IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ THIS!: epgsearch expects it's conf files now in a
+  separate configuration directory 'epgsearch' and not in the general plugin
+  configuration directory as with previous versions! Please create this
+  directory in your plugins configuration directory and move all
+  epgsearch-files to it before running this version. Like this:
+
+  mkdir /etc/vdr/plugins/epgsearch
+  mv /etc/vdr/plugins/epgsearch*.* /etc/vdr/plugins/epgsearch
+  mv /etc/vdr/plugins/.epgsearch* /etc/vdr/plugins/epgsearch
+
+  This is only important if you don't already use epgsearchs '--config' or
+  '-c' parameter. 
+
+- new 'Favorites menu' besides 'Now' and 'Next': This menu can show a list of
+  all your favorite broadcasts for the next 24h. To enable it activate 'Show
+  favorites menu' in the setup. To let epgsearch know what your favorites are
+  create/edit some searches and enable 'Use in favorites menu'.
+- new setup option for timer conflict check: 'After each timer
+  programming'. This performs a conflict check after each manual timer 
+  programming and - if the new/modified timer is involved in a conflict - pops
+  up an OSD message about it.
+- new email notifications about search timer updates or timer
+  conflicts with a customizable mail content. Please refer to the MANUAL
+  section 'Email notification' for further details. 
+- epgsearch has now a set of man pages. A very BIG thanks to Mike Constabel
+  (vejoun@vdrportal) who did the complete job of rewriting/correcting and
+  formatting the current docs. The man pages cover the README's, MANUAL and a
+  documentation of all conf's that epgsearch uses. Available for german and
+  english. Install them with 'make install-doc' in epgsearch's src-directory.
+- you can now define your own variables to be used in the default recordings
+  directory, search timer recording directory or your own menu
+  templates. Since this is quite complex please refer to the MANUAL section
+  'User defined variables'. Just an example to see what is possible:
+     # Weekday, Date, Time   
+     %DateStr%=%time_w% %date% %time%
+     # Themes or Subtitle or Date
+     %ThemesSubtitleDate1%=%Subtitle% ? %Subtitle% : %DateStr%
+     %ThemesSubtitleDate%=%Themes% ? %Themes% : %ThemesSubtitleDate1%
+     # Calls this script to get a recording path
+     %DocuScript%=system(doku.pl,%Title%,%Subtitle%,%Episode%,%Themes%,%Category%,%Genre%)
+     %Docu%=%DocuScript%
+- key 'Ok' can now also be configured to switch to a channel instead of
+  displaying the summary, suggested by malachay@vdrportal.
+- if a timer was created by a search timer then epgsearch's own timer edit
+  menu now displays the name of the search timer in a non selectable item at
+  the bottom of the menu.
+- when an event is announced via search timers you can now create a timer for
+  it, when you press the red key while the announce is visible, suggested by
+  Andreas Mair
+- if search timers are disabled by setup then creating/editing a search timer
+  now automatically activates them in setup, suggested by Andreas Mair.
+- you can now use more than one menu template for search results, please refer
+  to the MANUAL section "Customizing the EPG menus".
+- the check for a complete recording now also accepts short breaks (< 2s,
+  e.g. a channel pid change)
+- new SVDRP commands:
+  * LSTC [channel group name] 
+    list all channel groups or if given the one with name 'group name'
+  * NEWC <channel group settings>
+    create a new channel group, format as in epgsearchchangrps.conf
+  * EDIC <channel group settings>
+    modify an existing channel group, format as in epgsearchchangrps.conf
+  * DELC <channel group name>
+    delete an existing channel group
+  * RENC <old channelgroup name|new channel group name>
+    rename an existing channel group
+  * 'LSTB [ID]' to list all blacklists, or the one with the passed ID
+    (format is the same as epgsearchblacklists.conf, see MANUAL)
+  * 'NEWB <settings>' to add a new blacklist
+    REMARK: the value of element ID is ignored. epgsearch will always
+    assign the next free ID
+  * 'DELB <ID>' to delete the blacklist with ID
+  * 'EDIB <settings>' to modify an existing blacklist
+  * 'QRYS < ID(s) >' to get the results for a search with the given
+    ID. Multiple IDs can also be passed and have to be separated with '|'. 
+  * 'QRYS <settings>' to get the results for a search with the given
+    search settings.  
+  * 'QRYF [hours]' to get the results for the favorites menu. The optional
+    parameter specifies the number of hours to evaluate and defaults to 24h.
+  * 'LSTE [ID] to get the extended EPG categories defined in epgsearchcats.conf
+    or the one with the given ID.
+  * 'MODS ID ON|OFF' turns on/off the option 'Use as search timer'.
+  * 'SETP option' returns the current value of the setup option (see MANUAL).
+- epgsearch has now a bug tracking system (german) and a mailing list
+  (english)
+  http://www.vdr-developer.org/mantisbt
+  http://www.vdr-developer.org/mailman/listinfo/epgsearch
+  thanks to the providers of developer.org 
+- new service interface "Epgsearch-switchtimer-v1.0" to access and manage
+  switch timers, thanks to Dirk Leber for his extension.
+- update for french translation (including setup help!), thanks to Patrice
+  Staudt
+- thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for finnish translation update 
+- thanks to Mike Constabel for providing a HTML update mail template
+  (conf/epgsearchupdmail-html.templ) 
+fixes:

+  timer conflict check, thanks to zimuland@vdrportal for reporting
+- fixed search timer update for VPS timers, thanks to Chello and
+  oholler@vdrportal for reporting.
+- fixed handling of the sign '|' when changing the search type of a search
+  timer, thanks to Chello@vdrportal for reporting
+- changed some default search mode values in the epgsearchcats.conf samples for
+  multiple selection
+- removed extra line feeds in SVDRP response of LSTS, thanks to Andreas Mair
+  for reporting 
+- channel criterion 'no pay tv' in search timers was ignored, thanks to
+  Andreas Mair for reporting
+- fixed initial min/max values for search criterion 'duration', thanks to
+  Mike Constabel for reporting 
+- fixed a bug when selecting the conflict check 'after each search timer
+  update' in setup, thanks to Ronny Kornexl for reporting

+- fixed a problem with multiple selection of extended epg category values,
+  thanks to Christian Jacobsen for reporting
+- another compilation fix for linvdr, thanks to toxic-tonic@vdrportal
+
+2006-06-10: Version 0.9.17b
+fixes:
+- fixed some problems with repeating timers in timer conflict check, thanks to
+  Peter Juenger for reporting
+- fixed a crash in timer conflict check when there was an active recording on
+  a device provided by a plugin (e.g. pvr, streamdev), thanks to Gerhard
+  Steiner for reporting.
+
+2006-06-06: Version 0.9.17a
+fixes:
+- menu 'timer conflicts' automatically returned if there where periodic
+  timers, thanks to lostinspc@vdrportal
+- fixed some compiling problems with gcc-2.95 and gcc-4.1.0, thanks to
+  ferdi03@vdrportal, smudo81@vdrportal, toxic-tonic@vdrportal
+
+2006-06-05: Version 0.9.17
+- dropped support for vdr < 1.3.46 :-(
+- changed logic in jumping through menus with user-defined times: you can now
+  also access times on next day, if they are less then 20 hours in the
+  future. Thanks to egal@vdrportal and CKone@vdrportal. 
+- epgsearch has now its own timer conflict check which can be customized by
+  setup regarding relevant priorities, the time span to check or the relevant
+  conflict duration. There is also a conflict manager in Search/Actions that
+  can be used to resolve conflicts. Many thanks to Mike Constabel for heavy
+  testing ;-)
+- if there is a timer conflicts notification via OSD, you can now press 'Ok' to
+  go directly to the timer conflicts overview. 
+- if you like to have a separate main menu entry for the timer conflict check
+  use '-P conflictcheckonly' which comes as 'mini'-plugin with epgsearch and 
+  simply calls epgsearch's conflict menu. conflictcheckonly has a setup option
+  to display an info about the last conflict check directly in its main menu
+  entry. 
+- setup is now completely restructured and has now something like an 'online'
+  help. 
+- menu 'switch timers' now also displays the channel number
+- input logic for extended EPG categories changed to allow multiple values.
+- added script 'timercmds-auxinfo.sh' that displays the aux info (e.g. the
+  search timer responsible for the timer) in VDR's timer menu (requires the
+  timercmd patch), thanks to the author Mike Constabel 
+- user-defined EPG times with empty description get now their associated time
+  as description, suggested by Thiemo Gehrke
+- new service interface "Epgsearch-conflictmenu-v1.0" to call epgsearch's
+  conflict menu from other plugins.
+- new service interface "Epgsearch-lastconflictinfo-v1.0" to get an info about
+  the last conflict check result.
+- epgsearchmenu.conf is not more reloaded with every plugin call, since this is
+  only useful when testing the conf file. To activate the permanent
+  reload again, pass the new start parameter '-r' or '--reloadmenuconf' in
+  your runvdr
+- thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for finnish translation update 
+- added HISTORY.DE (german HISTORY)
+fixes:
+- loading epgsearchmenu.conf now falls back to menu defaults, if the conf file
+  contains any errors. 
+- fixed handling of '%' in  LSTS in SVDRP for vdr > 1.3.44, thanks to Mike
+  Constabel 
+- fixed loading epgsearchmenu.conf for epgsearchonly and service interface
+  "Epgsearch-searchmenu-v1.0", thanks to Daniel Dorau for reporting.
+- fixed display update in menu 'Search templates', thanks to Mike Constabel
+- fixed a bug when deleting associated timers of a search timer when there
+  are no timers present, thanks to Patrick Koppen for reporting.
+- hopefully fixed a bug when adding a search entry to templates, thanks to
+  Patrick Koppen for reporting.  
+
+2006-04-18: Version 0.9.16 (maintenance release)
+fixes:
+- the display of 'Overview - Now' was broken, when using progressbar and 
+  channel numbers in default menu look. Thanks to Gerhard Steiner for
+  reporting this one. 
+- when using small OSD fonts, the progressbars where flickering because of 1
+  pixel line height. Thanks to holymoly and TomG@vdrportal.
+- support for the APIVERSION define as introduced in vdr-1.3.47
+
+2006-04-14: Version 0.9.15
+new:
+- the EPG menus can now be customized with the file epgsearchmenu.conf (sample
+  file in 'conf' subdirectory), e.g. the entry:
+  MenuWhatsOnNow=%chnr%:3|%progrt2s%:5| %time% %t_status%:8|%category%:6| %title% ~ %subtitle%:35
+  creates a menu line starting with the channel number, followed by a progress
+  bar in text2skin style, the start time, the timer status, the EPG category
+  (like "movie") and finally the title and subtitle. 
+  You can customize each menu ('What's on now, next, other times, schedule and
+  search results with a separate line). Please refer to the MANUAL for more
+  information. 
+- IMPORTANT change to search timers: epgsearch now removes timers, that are
+  not needed anymore (if vdr >= 1.3.44). These are:
+  * timers, that are no more valid because of EPG changes. This should avoid
+    the double recordings after an EPG change.
+  * timers, that do not match the search criterions after a change of the
+    search timer. So you don't have to remove them manually anymore.
+  If the user has modified start or stop of such a timer, it will be kept.
+- new search mode 'fuzzy' in searches. This performs a fuzzy search
+  applying an algorithm like it's used in agrep. The error tolerance can be
+  set with the edit field 'Tolerance'.
+- added the 'one press' timer creation feature in EPG menus as introduced in
+  vdr-1.3.38 with one small difference: If the event is already running or
+  about to start within MarginStart + 2 minutes, the timer edit menu will be
+  popup to allow editing the file/directory entry, because this cannot be
+  changed when the recording immediatly starts. Else, the timer is created
+  immediately. Can be turned off in setup.
+- with the red button in epgsearch's own timer edit menu one can now delete an
+  existing timer, suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg.
+- if the main menu entry is not hidden, it's name can now be set by setup.
+  (Note: when changing the name to something different than the default, it is
+  no more dependent on the OSD language)
+- changed the default main menu entry from 'Search' to 'Program guide'
+- some people requested a separate main menu entry for epgsearch's search
+  menu. Therefore I've added a little plugin called 'epgsearchonly' that
+  simply calls epgsearch's search menu. It's main menu entry is
+  'Search'. Compilation of epgsearchonly is automatically done, but can be
+  switched off in the Makefile when uncommenting the line
+  #WITHOUT_EPGSEARCHONLY=1. To use it simply put '-P epgsearchonly' to your
+  VDR start script. (requires >= vdr-1.3.30) 
+- new service interface "Epgsearch-searchmenu-v1.0" to call epgsearch's search
+  menu from other plugins.
+- new action 'Delete created timers?' for search entries to delete all timers
+  created from the current search timer. Does not affect recording timers.
+- When deleting a search, you can now decide if all timers created from this
+  search should also be deleted.
+- If the user modifies the start/stop time of a timer created by epgsearch
+  this timer will not be changed anymore(only vdr >= 1.3.44 )
+- If an event is currently recorded, the status flag in the EPG menus is now
+  'R' instead of 'T'
+- Support for wareagle-icon-patch (activate it by adding the line
+  'WarEagleIcons=1' to epgsearchmenu.conf)
+- Progressbar in Now/Next beautified when using setup option 'graphical',
+  inspired by Nordlichts-EPG-Plugin 
+- new setup option to show/hide radio channels in the EPG menus, suggested by
+  Patrice Staudt.
+- new service interface "Epgsearch-searchresults-v1.0", that returns a result
+  list of events matching a given search, suggested by Andreas Brugger
+- removed some special setup options, because their function can also be
+  realized with a customized menu now:
+  * "show progress bar in 'Next'", in default menu now off
+  * "display width for progressbar", in default menu now 4
+  * "show short channel name", in default now always short
+  * "Show episode text in schedules", now always displayed
+- update for finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg
+- aux field is now formatted in full XML style (if vdr >= 1.3.44). As a result
+  of this, an updated recordingdone.sh is provided in the 'scripts'
+  subdirectory. Thanks to Mike Constabel for providing a patch.
+- search timer update now always runs in low priority, suggested by Christian
+  Jacobsen
+- new SVDRP command 'FIND'. This allows searching an event and returns a list
+  of results consisting of 'NEWT' lines, that can be used to immediately
+  create a timer for a result. Suggested by Lari Tuononen
+fixes:
+- thanks to Darren Salt for patches for g++ 4.1 and some things concerning
+  thread safeness and code review 
+- fixed some memory leaks
+- fixed calling user defined EPG commands, thanks to rzndl@vdrportal

+fixes:
+- EPG command 'mark as already recorded' crashed, thanks to Mike Constabel for
+  reporting this
+
+2006-03-04: Version 0.9.14
+new:
+- when disabling/enabling a search timer you can now decide if the associated
+  timers should also be disabled/enabled.
+- new built-in EPG command 'Create blacklist' to create a blacklist from any
+  EPG menu. 
+- the summary of an entry in the menu 'recordings done' has now an additional
+  button 'Aux info', that displays the content of the aux field.
+- update for the script recordingdone.sh to work also with vdr-1.3.44, thanks
+  to  Mike Constabel for his changes.
+- conversion scripts for upgrade to vdr-1.3.44: Because of the different
+  handling of auxiliary info (summary -> aux) some features of epgsearch won't
+  work with recordings made before vdr-1.3.44. This applies to the
+  done-Feature and to the automatic deletion of recordings. Without using
+  these scripts you will simply have some more recordings. So you actually
+  don't have to apply them, but when using them, all works fine. Thanks to
+  Mike Constable for providing them.
+  * new script convert_info_vdr.pl. This converts the info file of recordings
+    made before vdr-1.3.44 and moves epgsearch aux data to the new aux field. 
+  * new script convert_epgsearchdone_data.pl. This converts the
+    epgsearchdone.data file adding an 'aux' section to it. 
+- update for script mtdone2epgsearchdone.sh, thanks to Christian Jacobsen
+- update for french translation, thanks to Patrice Staudt
+- update for finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg

+  distribution  maintainers.
+- fixed some compiler warnings when using -Wformat=2, thanks to Darren Salt for
+  reporting and providing a patch
+
+2006-02-28: Version 0.9.13
+new:
+- support for vdr-1.3.44: works now, but: because of the summary/aux changes
+  in vdr-1.3.44 the additional info about the search timer, that triggered a
+  timer/recording, or the recording channel is currently not available. This
+  info is now stored in the new aux field of timers/recordings.
+- blacklists: you can now maintain one or more blacklists and select them
+  within a search or search timer. A blacklist works like a normal
+  search and defines events that should be ignored in a search or search
+  timer. Blacklists can be managed from setup or with the new search action
+  'Show blacklists' or directly when editing a search. Within a search you can
+  select one or more or all blacklists. If any search result is also contained
+  in a black list result set it will be skipped.  
+- the switchtimer background thread is now only active, while there are any 
+  active switch timers.
+- when you unpack the tar file, the necessary link is now automatically
+  created (like text2skin)
+- the result list of repeats of an event now omits the currently running
+  event, suggested by  Ronny Kornexl
+- thanks for beta testing to Mike Constabel

+
+2006-02-12: Version 0.9.12
+new:
+- new feature 'pause when ... recordings exist" for search timers. If

+  will not create further timers. After deleting one or more
+  recordings new timers are generated again.
+fixes:
+- fixed a crash when surfing to a channel without epg in schedule
+  menu
+
+2006-02-08: Version 0.9.11a
+fixes:
+- high cpu load fixed
+
+
+2006-02-07: Version 0.9.11
+new:
+- support for vdr-1.3.42
+- new feature switch timers: add an event with the new epg command
+  'Add to switch list' to the switch list and epgsearch will switch
+  the channel one minute before the event starts. The current content
+  of the switch list can be controlled within the search menu with the
+  new action 'Show switch list'. If there is a switch timer for an
+  event its menu item is labeled with 'S', if there is no real timer.
+- switch timers also for search timers: a search timer can now be
+  configured to 'switch only'. Its search results are then added to
+  the switch list and epgsearch will switch to the found events one
+  minute before they start. There will be no real timer for such a
+  search timer.
+- search criterion 'Use channel' has now an additional value 'only
+  FTA' to search in non encrypted channels only
+- new setup option 'Show day separators' for menu 'Schedule', that
+  displays an additional line at day break.
+- epgsearch has now a SVDRP interface with the following commands
+  (requires vdr > 1.3.30):
+  * 'LSTS [ID]' to list all searches, or the one with the passed ID
+    (format is the same as epgsearch.conf, see MANUAL)
+  * 'NEWS <settings>' to add a new search
+    REMARK: the value of element ID is ignored. epgsearch will always
+    assign the next free ID
+  * 'DELS <ID>' to delete the search with ID
+  * 'EDIS <settings>' to modify an existing search
+  * 'UPDS [OSD]' to update the search timers. Passing the optional keyword
+    'OSD' pops up an OSD message after the update has finished.
+  * 'UPDD' to reload the file epgsearchdone.data, e.g. after an
+    external tool has modified it.
+  * 'SETS <ON|OFF>' to activate or cancel the search timer background
+    thread. 
+- since setup gets too big it has now the modes 'Standard' and
+  'Extended'(toggled with key 'red'), suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg
+- update for finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg
+- update for italian translation, thanks to reelbox users

+- the menu of search results for a search timer with 'avoid repeats'
+  has an additional mode for key 'blue' to preview the timers, that
+  will be programmed with it.
+- new setup option to display channels without EPG in 'What's on...',
+  idea from 'Nordlicht's EPG plugin'
+- new setup option to show channel separators in 'What's on...',

+  allowed values are n=0(default),1(standard),2(extended),3(for
+  debug).
+- setup has now a default recording directory entry, that is used in
+  manual timer programming. It supports also entries like
+  '%Category%~%Genre%'. The directory gets automatically replaced with
+  the values of the event (but only if all variables were replaced).
+- depending on the calling menu the event menu (summary) now labels
+  the buttons green/yellow with the previous/next channel or the start
+  of the previous/next event, suggested by Andreas Brugger

+2005-07-02: Version 0.9.5
+- epgsearch has now its own menu for standard timer editing with the
+  following extensions (timer programming is based on SVDRP, so this should
