+- Channel data is now automatically derived from the DVB data stream (inspired
+  by the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz).
+- The current channel is now automatically re-tuned if the PIDs or other settings
+  change. If a recording is going on on a channel that has a change in its
+  settings, the recording will be stopped and immediately restarted to use the
+  new channel settings.
+- EPG events now use the complete channel ID with NID, TID and SID.
+- Channel names in 'channels.conf' can now have a short form, as provided
+  by some tv stations (see man vdr(5)). Currently channels that provide short
+  names in addition to long ones are listed in the OSD as "short,long name",
+  as in "RTL,RTL Television". The short names will be used explicitly later.
+- The Ca parameter in 'channels.conf' has been extended and now contains all the
+  CA system ids for the given channel. When switching to a channel VDR now tests
+  for a device that provides one of these CA system ids. The devices automatically
+  get their supported ids from the CI handler.
+- The values in 'ca.conf' are currently without any real meaning. Whether or not
+  a channel with conditional access can be received is now determined automatically
+  by evaluating its CA descriptors and comparing them to the CA system ids
+  provided by the installed CAM. Only the special values 1-16 are used to assign
+  a channel to a particular device.
