   in testing this). Since switching channels now no longer explicitly waits for a

   used (maybe we don't need it nay more, anyway).
+- The keyboard is now by default always active to control VDR. The 'make' option
+  REMOTE=KBD is therefore obsolete. When compiling VDR with REMOTE=RCU or REMOTE=LIRC,
+  the keyboard can thus now be active together with the remote control. If you want
+  to build VDR _without_ keyboard support you can set NO_KBD=1 in the 'make' call.
+  Since the keyboard codes are now different from the ones used previously (which
+  were mapped by the 'ncurses' library) you will need to go through the "Learning
+  keys" procedure again. To do so, either delete the file /video/remote.conf or
+  remove the KBD.* entries from it before starting this version of VDR.
+  (Thanks to Thomas Sailer for pointing out how to set the terminal parameters to
+  read from the keyboard).
+- The 'ncurses' library is now only necessary when compiling VDR with DEBUG_OSD=1.
