Just read the HISTORY:

v0.24-pre13-mdo -- cooper -- Tue May 27 03:10:39 CEST 2003
 - major changes in AutoTimer():
   - for each autotimer the event_id from the EPG will be stored in the
     higher 16 bits of the status value in the timers.conf. Be prepared
     to see huge and tiny (negative) numbers in the timers list!
   - for all autotimers, the 3rd bit in the status value (first row in
     timers.conf) will be set, along with the 1st bit (plus the high
     16 bit as mentioned before)
  - side effects:
    - the status field (first row) of timers.conf will contain very huge and
      tiny numbers between -2147483647 and 2147483647, instead of 0, 1 and 3.
      While this is fully covered by Klaus' documentation, it could be some
      surprise to other programms parsing the timers.conf or reading the timers
      list via lstt from SVDRP, like Master Timer and others.
    - editing a timer via VDR will cause the loss of the event_id and set the
      status back to 0 or 1 -- so CheckTimers() won't touch it no longer. This
      is a feature.

Bye,
