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

VDR developer version 1.3.8 is now available at

    ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.8.tar.bz2

*** NOTE THAT THE WARNINGS REGARDING THE USE OF VPS CONTROLLED
*** TIMERS FROM PREVIOUS RELEASE NOTES STILL APPLY!

The changes since version 1.3.7:

- Fixed a crash when switching the skin and having selected a non-default theme
  that is not available for the newly selected skin (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt
  for reporting this one).
- Fixed some issues with gcc 3.4 (thanks to Prakash K. Cheemplavam and Marcel
  Wiesweg).
- Added a hint to PLUGINS.html about how to name a plugin that implements a skin.
- Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Single shot timers and events now show the day of week (adopted with some changes
  from the "elchi" patch, orginally introduced by Oskar Signell). Plugins that use
  cEvent::GetDateString() should note that this function now returns a longer
  string, including the day of week. The new function const char *WeekDayName(time_t t)
  can be called with a time_t value to get the day of week for that time.
- When processing XPM data, the color name "None" is no mapped to #00000000, which
  is "fully transparent" (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt).
- Fixed the OSD alignment in the SPU decoder (thanks to Miko Wohlgemuth for reporting
  this one and helping to test the fix).
- Fixed freezing picture when a recording starts on a system that always uses
  'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Michal Dobrzynski for reporting this one).
- Fixed a memory leak in NIT processing (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Added a few missing initializations (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Moved the declaration of cMenuText to VDR/menu.h to make it available to plugins.
  It now also has a SetText() function that can be used to dynamically set the text
  in an already existing cMenuText (both suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Added play mode pmVideoOnly (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Added a missing cStatus::MsgOsdClear() to cDisplayChannel::~cDisplayChannel()
  (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- No longer displaying unused color buttons in the "Classic VDR" skin (thanks to
  Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
- Added some missing cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() calls (thanks to Oliver Endriss for
  reporting this one).

The DVB driver I am currently using can be found at

  ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/linux-dvb.2003-11-08.tar.bz2

which is the CVS 'HEAD' version from 2003-11-08, made available as a complete
archive for your convenience. Of course, you can also use any newer version from
the CVS.

Have fun!

Klaus
