[vdr] VDR developer version 1.1.8

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

VDR developer version 1.1.8 is now available at

    ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.1.8.tgz

This version is directed towards developers who want to implement
plugins for VDR. The "stable" version for every day use is still 1.0.4.

Please read the file VDR/PLUGINS.html, which gives an overview of the
plugin interface and how to create your own plugins.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
===============

This version still has some limitations (see below) and is considered highly
experimental! USE IT WITH GREAT CARE AND UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS BEFORE
RELYING ON IT FOR EVERY DAY USE!

The changes since version 1.1.7:

- Fixed replaying the last few seconds of a recording.
- Added some missing #includes to files in libdtv for gcc 3.2 (thanks to Jürgen
  Zimmermann).
- Added cDevice::NewOsd() to allow a derived cDevice class to implement its own
  OSD capabilities (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Added cPalette::AllColors() for plugins that need to get the color entries of
  a cPalette (see osdbase.h).
- The new SVDRP command CLRE can be used to clear the entire EPG data (suggested
  by Matthias Schniedermeyer).
- Fixed handling one-shot timers that were already recording and had their start
  time changed into the future (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer for reporting
  this one).

- The following limitations apply to this version:
  + The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet.
  + Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet.

Sorry there aren't more new features, but I'm currently spending most of
my time on integrating an MPEG2 encoder card plus LIRC remote control
transmitter, so I can finally connect my Sky Digibox to my VDR system ;-)

Just wanted to release a few things that came up on the RL meeting and include
the patches Andreas Schultz and Peter Seyringer need for their plugins.

Have fun!
