[vdr] ANNOUNCE: graphlcd-0.0.8

[Andreas Regel <andreas.regel@gmx.de>]

Hi list,

here is a new release of the graphlcd plugin. It mostly consists of
Sibbi's code plus some additions of mine and others. You can get it
here: http://www.powarman.de/vdr_graphlcd.htm

Changes since 0.0.7:
- added support for VDR version 1.3 (tested with 1.3.4)
- added display of free devices, selectable in setup menu
  (thanks to Thomas Keil)
- inverted and round color buttons
- driver reset after certain setup changes
- choose the size of logos in setup (no, auto, medium, large)
- new 'compressed' mode for symbols (show only enabled symbols)
- Volume controls
- use of iopl() instead ioperm() (allows ports > 0x3ff)
- delayed update of the display in menu
- removed useless 'Good-Bye picture'.
  You have to call showpic in shutdown script instead.
- display name of recording without subdirectories
- new SED1520 driver (thanks to Andreas 'Randy' Weinberger).
- alias list for program names (logonames.alias)
- new SED1330 driver (thanks to Roland Praml).
- increased performance by using Set8Pixels() instead of SetPixel()
  in Char() and CharProp()
- increased speed in menus (you might apply an included patch against
  vdr to improve the speed even more...)
- added a cache for logos to reduce harddisk operations.
- a value of 0 for Refresh disables the complete refresh of the LCD
- added a setup option to disable the output to the LCD completely
- fixed bug displaying long SVDRP Messages (that couldn't be splitted
  to more lines of text, because they didn't have any spaces)
- fixed bug with Rec icon. If multiple recordings were active and
  one recordings has stopped, the Rec icon has been cleared although
  the others recordings were still active. (thanks to Steffen Schoewitz
  for reporting and fixing it)
- select alternative wiring for T6963 (WIRING_WINDOWS)
  with setup parameter (plugin) and commandline parameter (showpic)
- improved timing of T6963 driver (thanks to Good)
- further improved timing of T6963 driver
- T6963 status check selectable in setup menu
- added auto mode support for T6963, selectable in setup menu
- added font select 8x8 support for T6963, selectable in setup menu
  (thanks to Andreas 'Randy' Weinberger)
- changed way of T6963 control line setting (thanks to Andreas 'Randy'
  Weinberger)
- changed clipping method (thanks to Andreas Brachold)
- new Noritake GU140x32f driver (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- new classification of LCD sizes:
    tiny:    0..48
    small:  49..61
    medium: 62..127
    large: 128..
- more logos (contributed by Carsten Born and Andreas Brachold)
- plugin development and hosting is taken over by Andreas Regel

In the next weeks I will concentrate on cleaning up, fixing bugs and
integrating some new stuff. If youz have patches, send it to me and I
will look through it.

Andreas
