Versions-Historie

Version	Datum	Beschreibung	Link
1.2.1	2010-10-10	Bug fix release (version 1.2.0 didn't actually work without /dev/actuator)
1.2.0	2010-10-09	Version for current development version of vdr (>= 1.7.15) DVB-S2 support (untested, I don't have DVB-S2 hardware) Experimental seractuator module (uses a serial port instead of a parallel port) Complete rewrite of the channel scanner The plugin can now work without an actuator (i.e. as a channel scanner only) with the command line option "-s" or "--scanonly"
1.1.1	23.03.2008	Changes in SetPids call to adapt to vdr >= 1.5.11 Added -Wno-parentheses to compiler options
1.1.0	19.08.2007	Adapted to new localization method in vdr-1.5.7
1.0.5	12.08.2007	Updated russian translation from Vladimir Monchenko <bob at globall ru> Compatibility defines in module.c and remove patches
1.0.4	24.06.2007	check the CardIndex to identify the selected card in the main menu instead of relying on cDevice::GetDevice(index) added a note in README to clarify that if you select card 1 it corresponds to /dev/dvb/adapter0, 2 to /dev/dvb/adapter1 and so on adapted for the experimental version of vdr (1.5.X)
1.0.3	31.04.2006	use k_Repeat for up,down,left and right update Makefile for compatibility with vdr >= 1.3.47 using the cRemote::CallPlugin kludge coupled with MainThreadHook there's no need to patch vdr for position display setup option to select wether to display the position on satellite change or not remove the transponders directory from the distribution
1.0.2	18.01.2006	russian translation with correct encoding (by Monchenko Vladimir <bob at globall ru>) patch for kernel >= 2.6.13 (provided by Monchenko Vladimir <bob at globall ru> and Frank Welter <frank.welter at skynet dot be> patches adapted to vdr-1.3.38/1.3.39	[1]
1.0.1	30.10.2005	Simplified cPosTracker (start the thread only when needed so get rid of the cCondWait) Avoid tracking if the target hasn't changed after switching channels Added svdrp support for querying the positioner status return osContinue to avoid auto closing by main vdr loop use MAXLANGCODE2
1.0.0	07.08.2005	It's been working for a year, let's call it 1.0.0 ;-) Save channels after a transponder/satellite scan New menu entries to mark, unmark and delete marked channels ("mark" means prepending '+' to the name to aid finding stale channel entries) After a satellite scan the transponder index was reset at 1 but the pointer was NULL. Fixed to point at the first transponder. Added a note in module/README about possible problems with irq7 (as reported by Frank Welter) fixed test.py (in the module subdirectory) to work with python 2.4 wrap-around menu themes support use setup settings for osd position and width
0.0.9	31.03.2005	Dutch translation by Johan Schuring <vetteblei at gmail dot com> Fast transponder/satellite scan, thanks to the wonderful work of Thomas Bergwinkl <bergwinkl.thomas at vr-web dot de> who provided filter.[ch] to make it possible	[2]
0.0.8	13.02.2005	Implement new (in vdr-1.3.20) method Stop Removed the note about the dxr3 shutdown problem (saving the dish position early with the Stop method makes the problem irrelevant) Skip non satellite sources in main menu Changed pid assignment in cMainMenuActuator::Tune() to (hopefully) avoid problems with the new audio pid management in vdr Added "Scan satellite" option (idea shamelessly stolen from kikko77 at altervista dot org, author of the channelscan plugin) Changed the 'position-display' patch (adapted for vdr-1.3.20 and avoids overwriting the osd of the newly entered channel number if the dish is moving) New parameter MinRefresh, to avoid screen artifacts with a dxr3	[3]
0.0.7	06.02.2005	Added the possibility to specify vpid and apid when tuning to a transponder. Added some logic to show the tuned channel (I'm not sure it is right but "it works here"(tm)) Added the "steerable" and "sort-by-source" patch Show signal information like the femon plugin (i.e. show signal strength and snr as raw value and percentage, show ber and unc) Added catalan translation	[4]
0.0.6	09.01.2005	New version for vdr 1.3.18 Note in README that the solution to the dxr3 shutdown problem is only a workaround and not the definitive solution
0.0.5	18.10.2004	Kernel module: added parameter description Fixed compilation error for vdr 1.3.13	[5]
0.0.4	30.08.2004	Kernel module: corrected and revised use of lock (now an rwlock) to use the irqsave/irqrestore version in non interrupt code (doh!). Kernel module: added sysfs support Corrected calculation of signal strength and snr (now it should really give the same values as the rotor plugin) Removed unneded cMenuEditIntpItem Take into accunt which card is connected to the steerable dish (doh!) Added a note in README about the problems with vdr in multi card setups and the dxr3 plugin Cannot use the frontend directly to tune a new transponder, use ChannelSwitch instead.
0.0.3	20.08.2004	I reversed the parameter meaning between DrawRectangle and DrawText that lead to some error messages not being shown. Fixed. Loading of the position at startup where it belongs: in cPosTracker workaround for Setup.UpdateChannels moved to cPosTracker	[6]
0.0.2	14.08.2004	Kernel module: setting the position and immediatiely setting a target with the same position would result in the module sticking in the ACM_REACHED state. Hopefully fixed. Kernel module: now setting a new target clears the ACM_REACHED state. Set the current position at initialization only if the module has just been loaded (position 0), otherwise trust the position stored in the driver. Moved position storing in separate thread OSD cleanup Modfied patch to not mess up channel switching while the dish is moving	[7]
0.0.1	11.08.2004	Initial revision.	[8]
