 2000-03-12   
   
 - dvb-0.3.9 (=0.4.0beta)  
   
   !!WARNING!!  
   This version is only released because some people are anxiously waiting   
   for better recording/playback (i.e. without lock ups :-) and support for   
   CI. You probably will not get much out of it if you are not a programmer.  
   !!WARNING!!  
   
   There is a new config file format which is explained in DVB/doc/channel.  
   gVideo does not support this or encrypted channels yet (and no, the record   
   and playback buttons also do not do anything yet).  
   You have to use the library and test programs in DVB/libdvb to do channel   
   searching and to get encrypted channels (You also need a CI module and a  
   working smart card of course.)  
   Please do not ask for details about the test programs in DVB/libdvb or   
   complain if they do not compile/work/whatever. They were never intended to  
   be released. If you are not a programmer yourself, please wait for the real  
   0.4.0 release.  
   
   CyberLogin is also not up to date. I read the patches in the mailing list   
   and also got a new version from Diego. I still have to merge all of this   
   into one new version.  
   
   If you are not using a current 2.3.x kernel you will also have to use an  
   older version of i2c-core.c.  
   Copy it from /usr/src/linux/driver/char if you use 2.3.x or from the last  
   DVB driver release if you use 2.2.x.  
   
   Changes for linuxtv-dvb-1.0.0-pre1 from siemens_dvb-0.9.4:
   o overhauled Linux DVB API, especially for the frontends
   o new device naming scheme
   o unfortunately too many to list them all...
Removed from v.1.8
