[vdr] VDR version 1.2.6 released

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

VDR version 1.2.6 is now available for download at

  ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/vdr-1.2.6.tar.bz2

A note to users of version 1.2.6pre6: there have been no more code changes
since that version. Only the version number (in config.h) has been updated.

The changes since version 1.2.5:

- Updated the required driver version in INSTALL (thanks to Jens Groth for
  reporting this one).
- Fixed missing channel info after an incomplete channel group switch (thanks
  to Andreas Trauer).
- Fixed handling a channels.conf that contains a ":@nnn" line as its last entry
  (thanks to Ralf Klueber).
- Fixed detecting the /dev/videoN devices for GRAB in case there are others
  before the DVB devices (thanks to Andreas Kool).
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Markus Hardt).
- Fixed handling rc key learning in case cRemote::Initialize() returns 'false'
  (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed initializing the highlight area in cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Sven Goethel).
- Now trying to get a timer's channel without RID when loading 'timers.conf'
  (thanks to Thomas Rausch).
- Removed the unused 0x73 (TOT) filter in eit.c (thanks to Andreas Trauer).
- Fixed extracting the ES data in cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Stefan
  Huelswitt).
- Added MPEG1 handling to cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Thomas
  Heiligenmann).
- Changed the default "Lifetime" to 99, which means that recordings will
  never be deleted automatically in case the disk runs full (suggested by
  Oliver Endriss). Note that in an existing VDR installation the current
  value as set in 'setup.conf' will still be used - this change only affects
  new VDR installations.
- Edited recordings will now never be deleted automatically if the disk runs
  full (suggested by Emil Naepflein).
- Channel IDs are now checked when reading 'channels.conf' to avoid later
  problems with timers.
- Improved cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Thomas Heiligenmann and
  Oliver Endriss).
- Continuing learning remote control keys in case one rc fails (thanks to
  Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed handling comments in editing marks.
- Fixed handling CAM menus in case the CAM connection fails while the menu
  is being presented (thanks to Thomas v. Keller for reportign this one).
- Added missing 'const' to some cChannel member functions (thanks to Torsten
  Herz).
- Added cDevice::GetSTC() (suggested by Sven Goethel).
- Added Asia-Pacific satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Richard Scobie).
- Added North American satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Luke Jenkins).
- Fixed getting the list of recordings in case VDR is started from a directory
  where it doesn't have access to (thanks to Dirk Mueller).
- Fixed handling Priority -1 in cDvbDevice::ProvidesChannel() (thanks to
  Torsten Herz).
- Fixed processing EPG data in case there is no title (thanks to Torsten Herz).

The file

  ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/vdr-1.2.5-1.2.6.diff

contains the complete 'diff' between versions 1.2.5 and 1.2.6, in case
you want to apply the individual fixes to an existing (maybe patched)
installation (of course the line numbers may be off then, but I thought
providing the 'diff' might be useful).

The latest DVB driver I am currently using can be found at

  ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/linux-dvb.2003-11-08.tar.bz2

which is the CVS version from 2003-11-08, made available as a complete
archive for your convenience. Any newer driver version should work just
as well.

Have fun!

Klaus Schmidinger
