VDR developer version 1.3.48 is now available at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.48.tar.bz2
A 'diff' against the previous version is available at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.47-48.diff
If there are no more serious bugs, this will become the final version 1.4.0 next weekend :-)
The changes since version 1.3.47:
- Updated the GPL copies (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Pierre Briec). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Fixed wrong credits for the patch that was used to implement cPlugin::Active(). - Simplified the 'grep|awk|sed' command to retrieve the VDR/APIVERSION to a single 'sed' call. - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Modified the German OSD texts to be "less technical" (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Extended the version number reported with the '-V' option to also show the current APIVERSION (suggested by Thomas Günther). - Fixed handling empty titles in cEvent::FixEpgBugs() (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed some missing '-' in the German OSD texts (thanks to Walter Koch). - Added an error message about plugins that don't honor APIVERSION in their Makefile (based on a suggestion by Udo Richter). - Fixed a format string in recording.c to avoid a compiler warning on 64bit systems (thanks to Christian Wieninger for reporting, and Werner Schweer for pointing out that the 'z' modifier should be used here). - Ignoring k_Repeat when deciding whether the same key has been pressed in string input fields (based on a patch from Marko Mäkelä).
Have fun!

Hi Klaus,
I've been taking little time off at vdr upgrades, but now that I tried the new version I've noticed some talked setbacks that new APIVERSION has.
I'm using Debian and those scripts that came with apt-get distributed vdr package, so there's problem with scripts to correctly identify vdr versio from APIVERSION. What I mean is it possible to separate them to different switches since now if I try running with those scripts I get this...
/etc/init.d/vdr start Starting Linux Video Disk Recorder: vdr Searching for plugins (VDR 1.3.48/1.3.47):find: warning: Unix filenames usually don't contain slashes (though pathnames do). That means that '-name libvdr-*.so.1.3.48/1.3.47' will probably evaluate to false all the time on this system. You might find the '-wholename' test more useful, or perhaps '-samefile'. Alternatively, if you are using GNU grep, you could use 'find ... -print0 | grep -FzZ libvdr-*.so.1.3.48/1.3.47'. sed: -e expression #1, char 47: unknown option to `s'
./vdr -V vdr (1.3.48/1.3.47) - The Video Disk Recorder
It take me for a while to identify where the problem was since those scripts are always worked perfectly, now they aren't :( It found out that plugin-loader.sh is effected from this change in vdr version x.x.xx/x.x.xx handling. I hope someone of Debian vdr package maintainer is reading this to be notified.
Although this can be fixed fiddling the script, I think they should be separated with different switches. But since vdr-1.4 is finally going to be released, this probably isn't gonna happen?

(1) My sed does not accept lines like this: | sed -ne '/define APIVERSION/ { s/^.*"(.*)".*$/\1/; p }' config.h | sed: -e expression #1, char 47: Extra characters after command
This works: | sed -ne '/define APIVERSION/ { s/^.*"(.*)".*$/\1/p; }' config.h | 1.3.47
(2) The newplugin script is broken: - references VDRVERSION, not APIVERSION - '' must be escaped - sed problem as above
Patches attached.

Im trying to test this from the console and I seem to have a problem with the following command (using sed-4.1.4-7 from debian sid):
"sed -ne '/define APIVERSION/ { s/^.*"(.*)".*$$/\1/; p }' config.h"
This returns nothing.
"sed -ne '/define APIVERSION/ { s/^.*"(.*)".*$/\1/; p }' config.h"
This returns:
1.3.48
Is that right? Removing one of the "$" seems to fix it..

Hi,
just a little hint. The regular expression in the VDR Makefile which detects if the APIVERSION is used in the plugins Makefile is not compatible with the grep version of linvdr 07 (grep version 2.4.2). Since i have updated grep to version 2.5.1 all works fine.

I have seen this patch, but the problem with the old version of grep is the following line of the VDR makefile:
if ! grep -q "$$(LIBDIR)/.*$$(APIVERSION)" "$(PLUGINDIR)/src/$$i/Makefile" ; then\
and in the 'vdr-1.3.48-apiversion.diff' i can't see a change of this line.

Hi again,
ok, sorry it is to late ;) I have applied the patch and tested again with the old version of grep and it works fine! The line with the expression isn't changed by the patch, but it works now. May be i can find the trick tomorrow ;)

am I right in believing that most 2.95 users come from linvr 0.7?
I also believe linvdr 0.8 is coming soon.
Maybe it is time to finally stop supporting compilation with 2.95?
I am sure somebody will provided necessary patches for 2.95

This format conversion specifier has been documented in the "GNU C Library Reference Manual" since at least 2001-07-06, so it's been there for quite a while - I guess it should be ok to use it ;-)

If you still want to use that old compiler, just remove the 'z' and you should be fine.

I am using LinVDR 0.7, so i "have to" use gcc 2.95. Anyway, with the Release of VDR 1.4 there will hopefully be LinVDR 0.8 based on Debian Sarge very soon :)

For those who want to test the release candidate on SUSE Linux I've updated the vdr13 packages in
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/misc resp. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/supplementary/misc
to 1.3.48. They can savely be installed in parallel to the vdr 1.2.6 packages that ship with SUSE Linux.
