File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 0.9.13

Notes:
  *  Added support for changing the default language read from XMLTV.
  *  Added support for PAL-BG/DK audio mode switching.
  *  Added an audio boost setting for controlling capture card volume.
  *  Fixed a bunch of critical bugs.
  *  Removed the SDL, MGA, and DirectFB output drivers.
  *  Removed the unfinished MPEG2 support and the unreleased recording
     application 'rvr'.


Changes:
  * inguin: German translation of man pages.
  * inguin: Added code to set the XMLTV language using the command
      SET_XMLTV_LANGUAGE.
  * vektor: Mute the mixer device on exit to work around noisy capture
      cards.
  * vektor: Save mute state across tvtime sessions.
  * vektor: Added code for toggling the XMLTV language using the command
      TOGGLE_XMLTV_LANGUAGE.  Thanks to Ingo van Lil for the patch.
  * vektor: Support toggling PAL-DK/PAL-BG audio mode as a global
      setting, and added per-channel support for overriding this
      setting.  This should solve problems for cx88 users where the
      driver cannot identify the audio signal.
  * vektor: Added an option for making screenshots "quiet", where they
      will not announce themselves on the OSD.
  * vektor: Added a compatibility layer for xawtv-remote and the
      corresponding _XAWTV_REMOTE window property.
  * vektor: Added support for the _XAWTV_STATION window property, which
      announces which channel we are set to.
  * vektor: Save always-on-top state across shutdown of tvtime.
  * vektor: Replaced the OutputHeight configuration with window geometry
      support using the --geometry command line option.
  * vektor: Removed the tvtime console, it was not really useful and
      confusing users when it popped up.
  * vektor: Removed support for configurable "modes", which were used
      for having things like a special fullscreen mode with a different
      deinterlacer.  The feature was too complicated to be usable and
      cluttered the code, and not appropriate for our 1.0 release.
  * vektor: Show the title of the current show from the XMLTV information
      in the window title bar if available.
  * pv2b: Show the channel number in the window title bar if available.
  * vektor: Added code for reading localized descriptions from the XMLTV
      file.  Thanks to Ingo van Lil for the patch.
  * vektor: Fixed an insanely bad race condition in the not-using-RTC
      code.  This should solve some weird, inexplicable hangs.  Thanks
      to Roman Glebov for his help debugging this.
  * vektor: Add Dirk Ziegelmeier's gcc ports of the greedyh and tomsmocomp
      deinterlacers.  Removed the now unnecessary wine loader code and the
      DLLs from the build.
  * vektor: Always keep the mixer device open to work around a weird
      problem with the ALSA emulation where it only maintains volume state
      during an open and not across sessions.
  * vektor: Added a setting called 'audio boost' to control the volume
      we set on the capture card itself.
  * vektor: Return the magic number 3 when tvtime exits from a SLEEP
      command.  Useful for writing scripts that do something after tvtime
      quits from sleep mode.
  * vektor: We now set the aspect ratio hints based on the matte setting.
  * vektor: Fixed a nasty segfault when the capture card driver errors out
      on the first few frames.
  * vektor: We now always mute the sound card on channel change to protect
      against all of the broken drivers.
  * vektor: Removed MPEG2 support which did not work anyway.
  * vektor: Removed SDL, MGA, and DirectFB output drivers, since they are
      unmaintained and all have various problems.  Removed the command
      line parameters for selecting an output driver as well.
