+- 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.
