VDR Plugin 'text2skin' Revision History
---------------------------------------

2007-05-06: Version 1.1-cvs_ext-0.10a (text2skin-1.1-cvs_ext-0.10a.diff)

- increased efficiency in drawing list items in the main menu
- introduce relative Pos and Size of objects to given BasePos, BaseSize
  (used to draw list items)

2006-12-03: Version 1.1-cvs_ext-0.10 (vdr-text2skin-1.1-cvs_ext-0.10.diff)

- set EditableWidth. This is important for plugins like 'rotor' or
  'extrecmenu'
- now setting the locale setting LC_TIME according to the language-selection
  in VDR

2006-11-19: Version 1.1-cvs_ext-0.9a (vdr-text2skin-1.1-cvs_ext-0.9a.diff)

- added APIVERSION to the Makefile for vdr-1.3.47
- fixed possible buffer overflow in xml reading (updated to cvs-version
  of text2skin)

2006-11-19: Version 1.1-cvs_ext-0.9 (vdr-text2skin-1.1-cvs_ext-0.9.diff)

- added a test-feature to search for reruns of a program and add the
  information to the extended epg-info (trigger DEVELOPMENT_FEATURES).
  This uses a service-interface of the epgsearch-plugin
  "Epgsearch-searchresults-v1.0"
- the timer-conflicts are now checked with epgsearch (service-interface
  "Epgsearch-lastconflictinfo-v1.0", as it works more reliable and is
  supported by the plugin author
- the extended epg-info and the recording-info are extended by AUX-Infos
  (configurable)
  there is also an option to strip known tags
- the tab-widths are scaled for taking into account that different TT-Fonts
  have a different width than the default font from VDR
- added tokens for signal-info:
  FrontendSTR, FrontendSNR, FrontendHasLock, FrontendHasSignal
- changed token TimerConflict to TimerConflicts
- added token PresentEventID for EPG-images
- added tokens for recordings:
  RecordingFilename, RecordingPriority, RecordingLifetime
- removed Text2skin.diff from the rotor-plugin

2006-02-04: Version 1.1-cvs_ext-0.8 (vdr-text2skin-1.1-cvs_ext-0.8.diff)

- added a configuration option for showing the scrollbar in the menus and
  finished implementation

2006-02-04: Version 1.1-cvs_ext-0.7 (vdr-text2skin-1.1-cvs_ext-0.7.diff)

- changed the routines to determine the next timers
- added the possibility to have a scrollbar in every menu - not fully
  implemented yet (to position in menu-lists is not necessarily correct,
  if there are more items with the same osd-text)

2006-01-10: Version 1.1-cvs_ext-0.6 (vdr-text2skin-1.1-cvs_ext-0.6.diff)

- updated to cvs-version of text2skin
- since vdr-1.3.38 it is possible to exactly identify the replayed
  recording, so the replay-tokens work now
- switched the search-order for the fonts to priorise the skin-folder
  (this avoids error-messages in the log)

2006-01-07: Version 1.1-cvs_ext-0.5 (vdr-text2skin-1.1-cvs_ext-0.5.diff)

- modifications to compile with vdr-versions >= 1.3.18
- added tokens:
  OsdWidth, OsdHeight
- activating the token ReplayVideoAR

2005-12-18: Version 1.1-cvs_ext-0.4 (vdr-text2skin-1.1-cvs_ext-0.4.diff)

- modified the way, the current replayed recording is determined (status.c:
  cText2SkinStatus::Replaying)
  There remains a problem that recordings with the same name cannot be
  distinguished, so information optained from mReplay are not necessarily
  correct (all the ones added in vdr-text2skin-1.1-cvs_ext-0.2.diff)

2005-12-11: Version 1.1-cvs_ext-0.3 (vdr-text2skin-1.1-cvs_ext-0.3.diff)

  RecordingLength, RecordingCuttedLength

2005-11-19: Version 1.1-cvs_ext-0.2 (vdr-text2skin-1.1-cvs_ext-0.2.diff)

- removed the previously introduced tokens NextTimerName, NextTimerStart,
  NextTimerChannel, CurrentRecordingsCount and added tokens for the next
  3 timers: CurrentEventsTitle[123], CurrentEventsStartDateTime[123],
  CurrentEventsStopDateTime[123], CurrentEventsChannelNumber[123],
  CurrentEventsChannelName[123], CurrentEventsIsRecording[123]
- added audio- and video-tokens:
  PresentLanguageCode, PresentLanguageDescription, PresentVideoAR and
  implemented the missing code for the Language-token
- added tokens for replay:
  ReplayName, ReplayDateTime, ReplayShortText, ReplayDescription,
  ReplayLanguageCode, ReplayLanguageDescription, ReplayVideoAR
  (not activated yet)

- added several tokens:
  NextTimerName, NextTimerStart, NextTimerChannel, TimerConflict,
  CurrentRecordingsCount, using the service "CheckTimerConflict-v1.0" to
  check timer conflicts. A patch for the timeline-plugin is included in
  Enigma-0.4pre2 (timeline_CheckTimerConflictService-0.1.diff)

2005-06-xx: Version 1.1

2005-02-06: Version 1.0

- major rewrite
- xml-based format
- true type font support

2004-07-14: Version 0.0.8

- fixed display of scrollbar if there is no text present
- fixed animation delay if update takes longer than the delay
- using backgrounds also in 8-bit fullscreen mode to improve performance
- implemented screen layer to improve performance
- corrected offsets and tab widths in main menu
- implemented parameters "current", "mark" and "selected" to choose mark colors
  in replay display (defaults to the old values)
- implemented color value "None" to be able to unset a color

2004-06-25: Version 0.0.7

- on devices capable of full-color OSD, bpp's have no meaning anymore
  (but will still work like usual). On such devices, a full-screen 8-bit
  OSD will be used
- new display-item "PresentTextDescription" displays combined 
  ShortText/Description
- displaying replay symbols only if information is actually available
- exchanged x, y, width, height with x1, y1, x2, y2 coordinates
  (skin version is now 0.0.3)
- coordinates may be negative to respect dynamic OSD settings
  (negative coordinates give pixels from the right or bottom edge)

  mode
- added a script to convert 0.0.2 skins to 0.0.3

- reimplemented image cache (fixes segfaults and speeds up image loading)
- fixed a recursion wenn de-initializing ImageMagick (crashes on exit)
- reverted the changes in ImageMagick-loader that concerned palettes
  (obviously some versions of ImageMagick are BROKEN!!! I am using 5.5.7 which
  works fine. Version 5.4.7 shows random errors)

- included -lMagick into Makefile as a workaround for Debian (and others 
  possibly)

2004-06-16: Version 0.0.5

- fixed disappearing Scrolltext when Message was displayed
- fixed display-items "MenuScrollUp" and "MenuScrollDown" which didn't display

  both to tell the plugin if that item is to be drawn if the symbol is on,
  off or in both cases)
- fixed various memory leaks and missing destructions (valgrind rox)
- fixed the image loaders to respect the alpha value and palette properly 
  (this hopefully also fixes the phenomenon that images "get lost" after some
