+- The list of recordings is now kept statically in memory to avoid long delays
+  when opening the "Recordings" menu. As a side effect, external modifications to
+  the video directory are no longer immediately reflected in the "Recordings" menu.
+  If a plugin manipulates the video directory in any way, it can call the function
+  Recordings.TriggerUpdate() to trigger an update of the list of recordings.
+  If some external tool manipulates the video directory, it can touch the file
+  '.update' in the video directory to trigger an update of the list of recordings.
