52: - dvb-0.3.9 (=0.4.0beta)
53:
54: !!WARNING!!
55: This version is only released because some people are anxiously waiting
56: for better recording/playback (i.e. without lock ups :-) and support for
57: CI. You probably will not get much out of it if you are not a programmer.
58: !!WARNING!!
59:
60: There is a new config file format which is explained in DVB/doc/channel.
61: gVideo does not support this or encrypted channels yet (and no, the record
62: and playback buttons also do not do anything yet).
63: You have to use the library and test programs in DVB/libdvb to do channel
64: searching and to get encrypted channels (You also need a CI module and a
65: working smart card of course.)
66: Please do not ask for details about the test programs in DVB/libdvb or
67: complain if they do not compile/work/whatever. They were never intended to
68: be released. If you are not a programmer yourself, please wait for the real
69: 0.4.0 release.
70:
71: CyberLogin is also not up to date. I read the patches in the mailing list
72: and also got a new version from Diego. I still have to merge all of this
73: into one new version.
74:
75: If you are not using a current 2.3.x kernel you will also have to use an
76: older version of i2c-core.c.
77: Copy it from /usr/src/linux/driver/char if you use 2.3.x or from the last
78: DVB driver release if you use 2.2.x.
