+- Plugins can now define new sources. In order to implement this, the following
+  changes were made:
+  + The transponder parameter string is no longer interpreted by cChannel, but rather
+    stored as is and used only by the respective device. That way plugins can use a
+    channel's parameter string to store arbitrary data (see vdr.5).
+  + The new class cSourceParam can be used by plugins to define new sources, and to
+    implement OSD items that will be used in the channel editor for editing the source
+    specific parameters of a channel (see dvbdevice.c for an example of how this is
+    done for the default DVB devices).
+  + Purely numerical values are no longer accepted in the 'source' parameter of a
+    channel.
+  This obsoletes the PLUGINPARAM patch.
