[vdr] VDR developer version 1.3.4

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

VDR developer version 1.3.4 is now available at

    ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.4.tar.bz2

WARNING:
========

Before using this version, please make sure you read the file
README.developer (which is contained in this archive). Also, please
don't use this version in your "productive" environment (unless you
know what you're doing ;-), because it automatically changes the
'channels.conf' file and the changed file might not work with older
versions of VDR.

Note that due to the new transponder scanning the number of channels
may increase dramatically, and so may the amount of EPG data.
Set the "Setup/DVB/Update channels" option to a smaller value if you
don't want to get new transponders or channels.

The changes since version 1.3.3

- Fixed handling language codes in case there is no audio or Dolby PID.
- Fixed handling CA ids (was broken in 1.3.3).
- Fixed the SVDRP command 'STAT DISK' to avoid a 'division by 0' in case the
  disk is full (thanks to Jens Rosenboom).
- Fixed handling bitmap indexes for 256 color mode (thanks to Andreas Regel).
- Now handling "linked services" (based on the 'autopid' patch from Andreas
  Schultz). Linked channels are detected and added to 'channels.conf', but
  currently they are not yet presented to the user other than being in the
  normal channel list (this will come later).
- Preliminary fix for the "Unknown picture type error" (thanks to Sascha
  Volkenandt for his support in debugging this one). This may slow down switching
  between channels on different transponders for now, but a better solution will
  come later.
- Fixed the validity check for channel IDs, because some providers use TIDs with
  value 0 (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl).
- Enabled switching to a channel even if it has no Vpid or Apid set, because these
  might be automatically set when tuned to that transponder.
- No longer closing the Channels menu after trying to switch to a channel that
  is currently not available.
- Removed the now obsolete CaCaps stuff. The Setup/CICAM menu now displays the
  actual CAM type as reported by the CAM. The 'ca.conf' file has been stripped
  down to the values 0..4.

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
