[vdr] [Announce] Teletext Subtitles - ttxtsubs plugin 0.0.5pre2

[Ragnar Sundblad <ragge@nada.kth.se>]

2004-03-02: Version 0.0.5pre2

- New features
 - Text colours can be set and row spacing can be adjusted.
   (The usual semitransparent "background" colour appearently
    doesn't work with the ElchiAIO patch, don't know why.)
   Thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for the patch!
 - ttxtsubs menus can now be translated to different languages.
   Thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for the patch!
   English, Finnish and Swedish now included, others are welcome!
- Bugs fixed:
 - Information for channels with no teletext at all is now cached
   too, making channel switches to such channels faster.

- Note:
 - The VDR 1.2.x patch "VDR.patch" is the same as in ttxtsubs 0.0.4b,
   and the 0.0.4 and 0.0.3d patch should work equally well - there is
   no need to repatch if you previously used any of those.

2004-03-01: Version 0.0.5pre1

- New features:
 - More than one language can be chosen, they are used in order of 
preference
 - Handles languages with two ISO 639-2 identifiers (as ger/deu, fre/fra)
 - Subtitles can now be turned on or off
 - Optional main menu alternative for easy access
 - Selectable vertical position of text for 4:3/Anamorphic or Letterbox
 - Left, Center or Right horizontal position of text
 - Remapping option for those French channels that incorrectly
   sends teletext page numbers in decimal instead of hexadecimal.
   Very moderate remapping done at the moment, I hope it is enough.
 - Subtitles are now recorded with their PTS (timestamps). Not that
   the timestamps are completely wrong on some channels, this
   may confuse uncareful subtitle extracting software.
 - Included patch for VDR 1.3.5 - untested!
- Bugs fixed:
 - Fixed a net-to-host-order bug in the si parser that could make it
   incorrectly think that there are no subtitles on a channel.
   Thanks to Nicolas "tarass"!
 - Fixed a bit swapping bug causing incorrect character encoding for
   some languages. Thanks to Nicolas "tarass"!
