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