Video Disk Recorder version 0.68

[Klaus Schmidinger <Klaus.Schmidinger@cadsoft.de>]

The new version 0.68 of the Video Disk Recorder project
is now available at 

    http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/download.htm


NOTE: VDR now requires that you use DVB driver version 0.71. You need to load the dvb.o
module with option outstream=0. This is currently necessary because 'vdr' still works with
AV_PES data. It is also important that you apply the patch 'dvb.c.071.diff' (which comes with this
archive) to the driver file 'dvb.c' (this should become obsolete in future driver versions).

The 'current channel' is now handled device specific (in case there is more 
than one DVB card).

Implemented "internationalization" (currently English, German and Slovenian 
OSD texts are available).

Fixed learning keys on the PC keyboard (display oscillated).

Fixed a timing problem with OSD refresh and SVDRP.

Avoiding multiple definitions of the same timer in the "Schedule" menu.

There can now be a configuration file named 'commands.conf' that defines 
commands that can be executed through the "Main" menu's "Commands" option.

The 'Priority' parameter of the timers is now also used to interrupt a low 
priority timer recording if a higher priority timer wants to record.

A timer recording on a DVB card with a CAM module will now be interrupted by a 
timer that needs to use this specific DVB card to record an encrypted channel, 
if the timer currently occupying this DVB card doesn't need the CAM module (and 
thus can continue recording on a different DVB card).

The "Yellow" button in the "What's on now/next?" menus now displays the schedule 
of the current channel from that menu.

All DVB cards in a multi-card system now write their EIT information into the 
same data structure.

If there is more than one DVB card in the system, the non-primary cards are now 
used to periodically scan through the channels in order to keep the EPG info 
up-to-date.

If there is only one DVB card in the system, that card will start scanning after 
5 hours of user inactivity.

Now shifting the 'Subtitle' info into the 'ExtendedDescription' on stations that 
don't send the EIT information correctly (like, e.g., 'VOX').

Implemented a 10 seconds latency when removing files.

Implemented 'Transfer Mode' to display video data from the DVB card that actually 
can receive a certain channel on the primary interface.
