Changelog

Version: 4.5.1-1~getdeb1 2014-02-18 23:08:47 UTC

tvpvrd (4.5.1-1~getdeb1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
   -- User visible changes:
    - None.
   -- Bugs fixed:
    - All warnings given by static code analyzing through Coverity was fixed.
      Most warning where harmless but there were 6 potential resource leaks on
      error conditions, 2 potential serious crashes, 1 endless-loop
      and 6 potential off-by-one mem overwrite errors in corner cases.
      All in all a very good and humbling exercise to run the code base through
      coverity.
   -- Internal changes:
    - None.

Version: 4.5.0-1~getdeb1 2014-02-16 20:08:19 UTC

tvpvrd (4.5.0-1~getdeb1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
   -- User visible changes:
    - The station list is no longer sorted alphabetically. Instead
      the order from the channel file is preserved since that might
      have some logic for the user that makes more sense than plain
      alphabetical sort.
    - Added persistent history to the tvpvrd shell (tvpsh) so that
      history is remembered between usages on a user-by-user level.
      History is stored in "~/.tvpsh_history".
    - For the Web-UI new themes can be added dynamically. Just add
      new themes in the daemons config www directory and restart.
    - The new Web-UI theme "grey" (which is a clean no-frills "flat"
      theme) is now the default.
    - Some minor UI tweaks/improvements in the Web-UI.
      ... deletion list disabled if there are no more recordings (as
      well as submit button)
    - New format for arguments in transcoding profiles.
      The way to specify transcoding parameters have changed. Since
      both ffmpeg and avconv (that is used for transcoding) is
      constantly evolving its argument format the old way of
      simplifying for end users by creating the command line
      programatically in the daemon is too inflexible.
      Instead the new way is to specify the complete command line in
      the profile setting. This makes it easier to keep the daemon
      and still upgrade to newer version of ffmpeg/avconv and just
      updated the setting in the config file and not having to wait
      for a new version of tvpvrd to catch up with the latest command
      format.
      This also caters better for advanced users that wants to
      specify more complex encoding options in the transcoding
      process.
    - Added configuration for modern style Upstart init script for
      system that uses initctl to start daemons (e.g. newer version
      of Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint etc)
      This is configured automatically depending on the system
    - Re-enable the user setting for deciding if a user login when
      using the Web-UI should be required or not. This was previously
      ignored and a login was always required.
    - If an XML DB files is specified on the command line the full
      path is now used.
      The previous behavior was to use the daemons working directory
    - The default templates for the tvpvrd.conf file has been
      slightly adjusted to enable the Web-UI by default.
    - Support for "avconv" as transcoding program. This will make the
      daemon work out-of-the-box with many debian based systems
      (incl. Ubuntu/Linux Mint) since they ship with "avconv" as
      default and not "ffmpeg".
    - The setup process detects if either "ffmpeg" or "avconv" is
      installed and adjusts the template for tvpvrd.conf accordingly.
      Since "ffmpeg" and "avconv" have different command line
      arguments there are also two profile directories. The old one
      is used with ffmpeg and the new "profiles-avconv" is used with
      avconv.
      However, ffmpeg is still the recommended transcoder and in case
      both are available the template will be initialized with ffmpeg
      .
    - libreadline-dev is now required dependency to configure and
      build the daemon (This is a very common library used by many
      utilities so it is not unreasonable)
    - "configure" will now use "/usr" as default prefix and "/etc"
      for default sysconfdir so no need to use
      "configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc".

   -- Bugs fixed:
    - Prototype mismatch for xstrtolower()
    - Web-UI did always require a login and did not adhere to the
      config setting of require_web_password which could be set to
      not requiring a login
    - Only 8 command line argument was allowed when starting the
      daemon
    - Fixed compatibility with recent versions of ffmpeg for two pass
      transcodings
    - Fixed a potential memory leak in SMTP library in regards to
      faulty attachments
    - 64 bit adaption of backtrace stack print in case of SIGSEGV
      (previous code only worked on a 32bit kernel)

   -- Internal changes:
    - Some internal cleanup of the autotools setup
    - Some minor refactoring in how to handle a non-existent XML DB
      file
    - Added some bootstrap scripts to make it easier to create a
      build environment from a repository download. This will now
      setup a complete autotools environment from scratch. This is
      only meant to be used by developers. End users just installing
      the daemon from the tar-balls will not see these scripts.
      The scripts are "bootstrap.sh" and its inverse "autoclean.sh"
    - Added ubuntu/debian setup script to install all necessary
      components to build the server. Will make it very easy for
      developers to get a working build environment. Files
      bootstrap.sh and bootstrap-deb.sh
    - Added script to completely clean up a build environment to
      pristine state after build and autotools setup. This will
      completely remove all generated files by autotools or the
      build process. Files autoclean.sh
