DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING TRANSLATIONS IS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18!
The changes since version 2.1.8:
- Fixed a memory leak in case of broken Extended Event Descriptors (thanks to Lars
   Hanisch).
- Fixed the German translation of "Binary skip timeout (s)" (thanks to Matthias
   Senzel).
- Fixed the German translation of "VDR will shut down later - press Power to force".
- Fixed the Finnish translation of "Binary skip timeout (s)" (thanks to Rolf
   Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras).
- Added SDNOTIFY to Make.config.template (suggested by Christian Richter). Also
   added NO_KBD and BIDI.
- Added code from the "jumpplay" patch that makes the recording still be considered
   unviewed when stopping replay within RESUMEBACKUP seconds of the first mark.
- The new option "Setup/Replay/Alternate behavior for adaptive skipping" can be used
   to make adaptive skipping only halve the skip distance when the direction changes.
   That way you can reach the desired point in a recording even if you make one too
   many skips in a certain direction (see MANUAL for details).
- Fixed cCamSlot::Assign(), so that it actually ignores the value of Query if Device
   is NULL (as described in the header file).
- Added a missing VDRDIR="$(CWD)" to the clean-plugins target of the Makefile, to
   avoid error messages regarding the missing vdr.pc file.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk).
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Updated the Hungarian OSD texts (thanks to István Füley).
- Fixed switching channels in the Schedule menu after going through various Now and
   Schedule menus for different channels (reported by Matthias Senzel).
- Fixed setting the Blue button in the Schedule/Now/Next menus, so that it only shows
   "Switch" if the selected event is on a different channel.
- Added "NORDIG" to the list of "DVB/Standard compliance" options and using it to
   restrict the LCN (Logical Channel Numbers) parsing to networks that actually use
   this non-standard feature (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- In the "Edit recording" menu the '0' key can now be used on the "Name:" field to
   remove the name of the recording and replace it with the last element of the
   recording's folder path name (suggested by Christoph Haubrich). See MANUAL, section
   "Managing folders" for details.
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Nino Gerbino).
- The "Select folder" menu now adds the folder names of all existing recordings to
   any names that have been predefined in "folders.conf" (suggested by Sören Moch).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed the German translations of "latitude" and "longitude" (they were swapped).
- Updated the Hungarian OSD texts (thanks to Mario Fenneis).
- Modified runvdr.template to improve compatibility with the "bash" and "dash" shells.
- Changed the German translations if the texts related to "binary skipping" (based
   on a suggestion by Thomas Reufer).
- Updated sources.conf to reflect the fact that Astra 4A and SES5 are actually in
   two separate positions (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed cMarks::GetNextBegin() and cMarks::GetNextEnd() (thanks to Stefan Herdler).
   The behavior of these two functions is now exacly as described in the header file.
   Editing marks that are placed at exactly the same offset in a recording are now
   preserved in the cutting process.
- Changed the naming of "binary skip mode" to "adaptive skip mode" (suggested by
   Rolf Ahrenberg and Derek Kelly).
- cDvbPlayer and cReplayControl now use the same list of editing marks. This avoids
   inconsistent behavior with the "Skip edited parts" or "Pause replay at last mark"
   functions when the editing marks are manipulated during replay.
- Fixed setting an empty recording name or folder to a blank in the "Edit recording"
   menu (reported by Christoph Haubrich).
- Added a confirmation before renaming a recording to its folder name (suggested
   by Christoph Haubrich).
- Modified EntriesOnSameFileSystem(), so that it returns 'true' if either of the given
   files doesn't exist (to avoid any actions that might be triggered if files are on
   different file system), and changed handling the 'error' variable in cDirCopier, so
   that it is initialized to 'true' and will only be set to 'false' if the entire
   copy process has been successful (problem reported by Christoph Haubrich).
- Added the UPDATE-2.2.0 file.
Have fun!
