+- The Makefiles now use the macro $(Q) instead of a plain '@' in front of their
+  commands, so that verbosity can be controlled by the user (suggested by Jasmin
+  Jessich). Add VERBOSE=1 to the 'make' call in the VDR source directory to see the
+  actual commands that are executed.
+  Plugin authors should modify their makefiles accordingly, by simply preceeding
+  the respective commands with '$(Q)' and inserting '@echo XX $@' (where XX is one
+  of the character combinations listed in the release note for version 2.3.5) before
+  the command.
+  The newplugin script has also been modified accordingly.
+  Note that if you build a plugin directly in the plugin's own source directory,
+  the $(Q) macro won't be defined and commands will be displayed. You can add
+  Q=@ to the make call to have it less verbose (provided the plugin's Makefile
+  was modified as described above).
