2008-05-22: Version 0.1.2

- inclusion of <vdr/config.h> for getting info on APIVERSNUM
- update of finnish translation (po/fi_FI.po). Thanks again to Sauli Ketola.
- changed the script po2i18n (written by Udo Richter) to encode the resulting i18n.c in iso-8859-15
- improved displaying matchtime (upcoming, pause, finished)

- implemented chpp version 2.3 for matches
- improved Makefile according to suggestions mentioned in release of vdr-1.5.11 (i18npo)
- updated xmlParser to version 2.33
- implemented chpp version 1.3 for live
- changed recognition of new events, because hattrick's livexmldata removed Index in live v1.3
- corrected autotimer in the way not to login each cycle.
- renamed cEventList to cEventData as it consists of indexed data

- fixed that new events overwrite old ones

- rebuild of some functions

- updated po-translation file (de_DE)

The changes since last version:

2007-10-22: Version 0.0.7
- catching more errors on xml retrieving functions, now
- reworked osd matchlist
- osd refresh thread uses small waitstates, so Cancel() quits not that hard
- fixed httpsocket double opening same socket
- added Include Sockets/Utility.h for Utility::l2string
- time until next match, will only display a time if time_nextmatch is greater zero

A new version has arrived.

The changes since last version:
2007-08-20: Version 0.0.6
- Update of xmlParser to latest version
- fixed error that led to stopping VDR when Autoupdatemode was deactivated
- corrected segfault on network failure in login function
- logout directs to correct logout page
- parsing parameters at startup will not lead to "return false" anymore

Changes:

2007-07-16: Version 0.0.5:

- crash if hattrick has downtimes; login procedure will handle this, now.

A bug in the Makefile did not detect whether "SSL support" is compiled in C++ Sockets library. So the Plugin could not start, if the plugin (lssl) is not linked with ssl library and C++ Sockets has been compiled with SSL support (which is by default activated).

Changes in this version:

- corrected logout procdure (pointed to wrong website)
- html2text filter improved (<A HREF will be recognized, now)
- implemented time display in log function
- if login page cannot be read, plugin will not try to load data instead of crashing
- Makefile detects whether C++ Sockets library has SSL support compiled in

That version seems to be a good base for distributing it to the VDR community.

Have fun!
