+Thu Feb 11 22:05:00 MET 2010 (1.7.0)
+
+ - redesigned version:
+ - outfile, new starting methods, libzvbi implementation
+ - lots of bug fixes, all patches available in the Internet applied
+ - extensive code cleanup
+
+Mon Dec 3 03:11:07 MET 2007 (1.6.2)
+
+ - compilation fixes for newer gcc
+ - makefile tweaks (man vs share/man, /usr/X11R6 vs /usr, etc)
+ - default device changed to /dev/vbi0
+ - adapt to current v4l2 api
+ - some minor fixes collected during the past years
+
+ This is a build-time update to conform to newer compilers and
+ system environments. If you have a running AleVT there's no
+ reason to update. The only real fix is in the html-exporter
+ which was producing broken html (missing double-quotes).
+
+Thu Jan 23 01:53:10 MET 2003
+
+ - Fixed a bug in contrib/cap-all.c (fdset_init before vbi_open)
+ - Expaned cap-all.c to show how to save in two formats simultaneously.
+
+Tue Aug 20 05:22:16 MEST 2002 (1.6.1)
+
+ - Removed the bttv-warning from the help pages ;-)
+
+Mon Jul 23 18:34:32 MEST 2001
+
+ - Fixed bug in ui.c - found by <pawel@sakowski.eu.org>.
+ - When clicking on page numbers accept sub-page numbers too.
+
+Sat Dec 23 15:12:11 MET 2000
+
+ - Fixed 'double height last line' bug in export.c reported by
+ <Matthias.Kleinmann@urz.uni-heidelberg.de>
+
+Thu Oct 12 02:19:31 MEST 2000
+
+ - The &nbsp; fix was wrong. Removed it.
+
+Wed Oct 11 19:41:38 MEST 2000 (1.6.0)
+
+ - Some documentation tweaks.
+ - Release. Made it 1.6 because of V4l2 API.
+
+Thu Sep 21 21:07:12 MEST 2000
+
+ - Removed old bttv-only decoder. Only the v4l2-based stays.
+ If the device does not support v4l2, default parameters
+ appropriate for the bttv-driver are taken.
+ - Subpage cycling (up/down and 2nd wheel) stays in the current
+ page.
+
+Sat Sep 16 23:52:12 MEST 2000
+
+ - Experimental v4l2 interface added.
+ - Finetune defaults to 1 now. Works best for me. Tell me
+ if you don't like it.
+ - Russian patch still not added :-/
+ - Fixed the bug in xio.c that Ben Smithurst
+ <ben@scientia.demon.co.uk> found.
+ - Added the dual-wheel-mouse patch from Holger Fitzner.
+
+Tue May 30 03:09:24 MEST 2000
+
+ - As Matto Fransen <matto@matto.nl> reported: the ; after &nbsp
+ in exp-html is missing. fixed that.
+
+Tue May 9 20:21:52 MEST 2000
+
+ - Removed the -oldbttv/-newbttv options. If your driver has
+ a buffer size different from that in the current bttv you
+ either have to support the VBISIZE ioctl or change the source.
+ (Tried to implement an autodetect by non-blocking reads but
+ that confuses the driver that much that it no longers gives
+ reasonable data.)
+ - Added a compression option to the png export filter and
+ changed the default compression level to the lib's default.
+ The prev default of 9 was way to slow.
+
+Wed May 3 19:18:55 MEST 2000
+
+ - Added a smaller font. Made out of the neep9 font from
+ the really great jmk-fonts (http://www.pobox.com/~jmknoble).
+
+Sat Apr 29 02:36:41 MEST 2000
+
+ - Fixed SEGV in export.c:adjust.
+ - Fixed a possible buffer overrun in exp-txt.c
+
+Thu Nov 4 21:18:52 MET 1999 (1.5.1)
+
+ - Added os.h. That way alevt compiles right out of the
+ box on all BSD systems (I hope *g*).
+ - Fixed the DST bug in alevt-date.
+ - Put vtwiz.pl in contrib, a perl/tk/set-tv script to
+ launch alevt written by Joern Borgert.
+
+Tue Oct 26 23:55:09 MEST 1999 (1.5.1-pre1)
+
+ - Added timeout option to alevt-cap.
+ - Use install instead of cp in the Makefile.
+ - Added -I/usr/local/include and -L/usr/local/lib
+ in the Makefile.
+ - Changed #ifdef FREEBSD to #ifdef BSD.
+ - exchanged contrib/paul-export.patch with
+ paul.fmt_page.c (a replacement for export.c:fmt_page())
+ and paul.fmt_page.patch (the same in form of a
+ patch file).
+ - Some doc corrections.
+
+Thu Oct 14 02:49:48 MEST 1999
+
+ - Added FREEBSD patches.
+
+Fri Oct 8 23:36:45 MEST 1999 (1.5.0)
+
+ - Updated the documentation.
+
+ So, what's new since 1.4.9 (nearly 4 months ago)?
+ Two major things: full latin-2 support and export
+ filters for alevt-cap and alevt itself.
+
+ For the latin-2 support page enhancement packets
+ have to be decoded and some latin-1 pages may
+ benefit from that, too. Note: if you select
+ latin-2 everything is latin-2, even cut'n paste.
+ (new cmdline option -charset latin-1|2)
+
+ The export filters allow saving pages in different
+ formats. At the moment there's ascii (with and with-
+ out color), html, png, and ppm. The png filter
+ requires libpng. If you don't have it (or don't want
+ png support) just remove the WITH_PNG from the
+ Makefile. To save the currently displayed page just
+ press 's'. See alevt-cap(1) for the format string.
+
+ Preview: 1.5.1 will have the FreeBSD patches and
+ any bug fixes. (But not more *g*).
+
+Fri Oct 8 02:06:35 MEST 1999 (1.5.0-pre4)
+
+ Finally I could get away from my Playstation and
+ work a little bit on alevt *g*
+
+ - Tried to change alevt-date with freebsd patches from
+ Thomas Runge <runge@rostock.zgdv.de>. They do not
+ have the timezone and daylight variables. But I do
+ not have tm_gmtoff. So it's commented out for the
+ moment.
+ - Made font.[ch] so that only one copy of the fonts is
+ in the executable when including export modules
+ (exp-gfx.c uses them). Had to tweak the makefile.
+ - Added 's' for saving pages to files. Prompts for
+ a format string and a filename and saves the
+ currently displayed page.
+ (Formerly, 's' and 'S' were aliases for '/' and '?'
+ (searching))
+ - Found a bug in export.c regarding double height lines.
+ - Added a patch to the contrib dir to pass the URL you
+ click on to netscape.
+
+ The documentation updates are still missing. That's
+ the last thing to do for 1.5.0. But that's so boring...
+
+Fri Aug 20 21:28:18 MEST 1999
+
+ Back from holidays and time for alevt...
+
+ - Added html, png, and ppm export modules from Paul.
+ - Fixed the return status for export_output.
+ - Tweaked the makefile for libpng support.
+ - Added the export howto to the contrib dir.
+ - Added Paul's fmt_page routine to contrib as a patch
+ to export.c
+ - Added "-format help" to list all output formats and
+ its options.
+
+ Still to do: update man page of alevt-cap, add export
+ to alevt, add erc to alevt-cap.
+
+ Oh, btw, alevt is running on FreeBSD with the bt848
+ driver from Roger Hardiman <roger@cs.strath.ac.uk> *g*.
+ I wonder if it's possible to port his driver to linux.
+ Maybe it runs better then bttv... (I still get reports
+ with stuck xawtvs ...)
+
+Mon Jul 19 01:15:50 MEST 1999 (1.5.0-pre3)
+
+ - Added export modules. It's gotten much to complex.
+
+ A lot of things still to do: add other formats [Paul?],
+ add documentation, add format-help, add export to alevt,
+ add erc to alevt-cap, ...
+
+Mon Jul 12 00:09:03 MEST 1999
+
+ - Added an incomplete 20x24 font to the contrib dir.
+
+Tue Jun 29 00:46:03 MEST 1999 (1.5.0-pre2)
+
+ - Added lanugage tables from Radoslaw.
+ - Added new latin-2 font from Radoslaw.
+ - Fixed a bug with hold graphics. There's still one bug
+ on CNN's page 100 (has to do with set-after behaviour of
+ color select in hold graphics mode). The last line of the
+ earth should be blue-blue-green not blue-green-green.
+ AleVT always uses set-at behaviour. Afaik, this combination
+ (hold + set-after) is the only way to see the difference
+ between set-at and set-after. Set-after will blow up the
+ code so I will leave it as it is.
+ - vbi now collects all pkt26 and enhances the page before
+ it is passed on. Seem's to work.
+
+Tue Jun 22 22:13:45 MEST 1999 (1.5.0-pre1)
+
+ - Fixed hamm24. And, it should be fast now *g*
+ - Moved the language conversion parts to lang.c
+ - Added additional lang_chars for use with the latin-2 charset.
+ - Added -charset latin-1/2 option.
+ - Added pkt x/26 decoding. ... and noticed, that these packets
+ are sent between line 0 and 1. FUCK. Now I have to save
+ all x/26 until the page is complete. But not today... :-(
+
+ Things are getting more and more uglier. The right thing
+ to do would be to make a big font with all possible chars
+ (including cyrillic, arabic, smoothed graphics, ...).
+ That would mean to make each char in vtp->data 16 bit.
+ And then add an attribute word for each char so that the
+ enhanced attributes work, too. Searching and cut & paste
+ would be more complicated... but the worst, the pages
+ will be much bigger (4 times larger). Really bad for
+ the cache and god knows for what else...
+ Is it worth all the trouble??? I don't need that!
+
+Tue Jun 15 01:25:40 MEST 1999
+
+ - Changed .specs file again. I previously changed alevt.spec
+ instead of alevt.spec.in :-(
+
+Mon Jun 14 23:45:48 MEST 1999 (1.4.9)
+
+ - Made a very simple capture program (alevt-cap). Just collects
+ the given pages and writes them to disk in ASCII.
+ I will only accept bug reports/fixes, no enhancement requests
+ at the moment *g*
+ (I can't believe it; I even wrote a man page...)
+ - Changed the subpage delimiter on the command line from '/' to '.'
+ The old one ('/') is still accepted. (Reason: alevt-cap uses
+ the page number as part of the filename and a / is inconvenient.
+ And I already wanted to let you enter subpages with the keypad
+ and the '.' would be a nice key for that.)
+ - Tweaked the .specs file... (Btw, alevt-date and alevt-cap should
+ not be installed in the X11 tree.)
+
+Thu Jun 10 22:13:40 MEST 1999
+
+ - moved the hamming decoding and associated table to hamm.c
+ - played with pkt26 to support polish stations. not finished.
+
+Tue Jun 8 21:00:42 MEST 1999
+
+ - Added -[no]bell option. And the 'b' key.
+ - Replaced all xio_bell calls with appropriate status messages.
+
+Sat Jun 5 00:42:19 MEST 1999 (1.4.8)
+
+ - Shit. Just after the release I found a bug. The header line
+ isn't updated as it should :-( (Just affects parallel mode
+ transmission, so no new version, yet.)
+ - Created mailing list. Either go to http://alevt.listbot.com/
+ or write mail to alevt-subscribe@listbot.com.
+ - Added bttv-patch to the contrib dir for those who don't want
+ to wait for bttv-0.6.5.
+
+Fri Jun 4 17:19:41 MEST 1999 (1.4.7)
+
+ - Added autodetection of VBIBUF_SIZE (only with newer bttv, 0.6.5).
+ - Forgot to close vbi_fd in vbi_close :-/
+ - Made ERC on by default. If the page has no errors it
+ costs nothing and if it has you'll turn it on anyway.
+ - Changed parameters of EV_HEADER.
+ - Removed XAWTV_HACKS.
+ - Updated some docu.
+ - Modified the contrib samples to reflect previous API changes.
+
+Fri May 28 20:16:44 MEST 1999
+
+ - Added status messages.
+ - Added EV_TIMER event.
+ - Added channel change detection (only with newer bttv, 0.6.5).
+ Sends EV_RESET event. The XAWTV_HACKS can be removed *phww*.
+ Now the cache is automatically cleared if you switch to a
+ new channel. It even works with a SAT receiver connected to
+ Video-In.
+
+Thu May 27 23:54:32 MEST 1999 (1.4.6 unofficial)
+
+ - Cache reset didn't reset npages and hi_subno.
+ - Added XAWTV_HACKS, that is: alevt scans for a window with
+ the _XAWTV_STATION property and registers for property changes.
+ Result: when switching channels in xawtv, the cache is cleared.
+ (This is just an ugly hack. Xawtv must already be running
+ when alevt is started. If you quit and restart xawtv, it no
+ longer works. There's no method to detect if the monitored
+ xawtv is really the one controlling our /dev/vbi, etc...)
+ Added on request of Paul Ortyl <ortylp@key.net.pl>.
+ - Added error reduction circuit. It's part of the cache.
+ Errors in a new page are replaced by characters/lines from
+ an already cached (older) page. May be toggled by pressing
+ 'e' (editor is now on 'E'). It's not enabled by default
+ because it takes some CPU time. Idea by Paul Ortyl.
+ - TODO: clean up. document new features. add status messages.
+
+Sun May 23 19:13:07 MEST 1999 (1.4.5)
+
+ - New spec file from Karsten Hopp <karsten.hopp@delix.de>
+ - Changed it even further *g*
+ - Fixed a bug with graphics selection of double height lines.
+ - Documented the -oldbttv option in the man page. Now it's in
+ every page. This should finally halve the mails I get.
+ (For the other halve I have to write alevt-capture *g*)
+
+Sat May 8 02:41:21 MEST 1999
+
+ - Ehhh, changed u32 typedef from unsigned long to unsigned int.
+ Same for s32. The Alpha's longs are 64 bits.
+ Thanks to Sdruddin Rejeb <rejeb@dpmail.epfl.ch>.
+ (There's something strange with this in the X libs. They are
+ sometimes very lazy about ints and longs. Someone with an
+ Alpha should check the cut & paste, both, text and graphics
+ selections.)
+
+Thu Apr 29 22:38:37 MEST 1999
+
+ - Updated contrib/t1.c
+ - Added ':' as a subpage delimiter for clicking (2:7 is the same as 2/7)
+
+Mon Apr 19 19:40:09 MEST 1999
+
+ - Switched the scrolling direction of the wheel
+
+Mon Mar 29 01:23:06 MEST 1999 (1.4.4)
+
+ - fixed DST bug in alevt-date
+ - added crude latin-2 support. 'make FONT=latin-2' should be enough.
+ (found the stuff on the website http://www.penguin.cz/~marvin/ of
+ Daniel Smolik <smolikdan@email.cz>. I don't know if he is the one
+ who made the font).
+
+Wed Mar 17 20:53:59 MET 1999
+
+ - added timeout to alevt-date
+
+Fri Feb 19 18:22:53 MET 1999 (1.4.3>
+
+ - Makefile changes.
+
+Fri Jan 29 18:01:27 MET 1999
+
+ - fixed bug in dllist.h. dl_insert_first(h, dl_remove(n)) was only
+ working due to gcc implementation details.
+
+Mon Jan 25 18:33:42 MET 1999 (1.4.2)
+
+ - fixed 'clear cache'. no longer removes the help pages.
+ - made next/prev key/button to skip missing pages.
+ - added support for wheeled mice. (I heard it's really cool *g*)
+ - problem with subpages > 0xff fixed.
+
+Thu Jan 21 17:31:46 MET 1999 (1.4.1)
+
+ - added man pages from Thomas Schoepf <schoepf@usa.net>.
+ - added rpm-spec file from Mario Mikocevic <mozgy@times.hr>.
+ (looks a little bit odd, but I don't know very much about rpms)
+ - minor option fix in alevt-date (people are really using it!?!)
+
+Tue Jan 5 03:50:08 MET 1999 (1.4.0)
+
+ - should be 1.3.10 but that gives problems with the help pages :-(
+ - fixed varargs for alpha
+ - default is now -newbttv (aka -fuckbttv). use -oldbttv for v<0.5.20.
+
+Sat Jan 2 21:40:54 MET 1999
+
+ - small patches to alevt-date (-vbi options and tzset fix)
+ - played with pkt8/30. what a mess. MTV is 25:13 ahead *g*
+
+Wed Dec 30 19:30:14 MET 1998 (1.3.9)
+
+ - slightly modified the pll (may need further tuning)
+
+Wed Dec 30 05:27:26 MET 1998 (1.3.8)
+
+ - added pll (-finetune auto). try -debug for status msgs.
+
+Tue Dec 29 05:15:53 MET 1998 (1.3.7)
+
+ - added finetune option (see README)
+ - you may now type -newbttv instead of -fuckbttv *g*
+
+Mon Dec 28 19:36:32 MET 1998 (1.3.6)
+
+ - Makefile: R5 -> R6 :-(
+ - vbi.c now works without cache.c
+ - added alevt-date (set system time from teletext)
+ - bug in option parsing (error reporting)
+
+Thu Dec 17 19:56:16 MET 1998 (1.3.5)
+
+ - added -L/usr/X11R6/lib in Makefile
+ - put some blurb (in german) in contrib.
+
+Thu Dec 17 05:01:34 MET 1998 (1.3.4)
+
+ - added class hints on (invisible) leader window to make docking
+ in wmaker easier. instant name for leader is "VTLeader" and for
+ the viewing windows "VTPage"
+ - made the icon a little bit smaller
+
+Mon Dec 14 23:05:41 MET 1998 (1.3.3)
+
+ Release 1.3.3
+
+ - added spanish/portuguese charset decoding
+ - added similar looking glyphs for czech
+ - minor changes on the font
+ - middle click on current page number opens new parent window
+ - case dependant search if the pattern begins with a '!'
+ - line editing may be aborted with ^C
+
+Sun Dec 13 17:55:32 MET 1998 (1.3.2)
+
+ - when there were multiple windows of the same page, cycling through
+ the subpages changed all windows. fixed.
+ - hilight the found text (make it the selection).
+ - slightly modified the hilight colors.
+ - default window size set to 41x25 (looks better).
+ - rewrote the editor.
+
+Sun Dec 13 07:03:10 MET 1998 (1.3.1)
+
+ - fixed one command line option
+ - corrected bug in searching
+
+Sat Dec 12 20:27:03 MET 1998 (1.3.0)
+
+ Release 1.3.0
+
+ - searching is now ready (still need a status line for error msgs).
+ - set SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL. some shells (KDE) set it to SIG_IGN and then
+ the timer task won't be killed on exit.
+ - updated the help pages.
+ - I'm frustrated! BTTV_VERSION doesn't work on /dev/vbi. So no
+ autodetection of driver version. Added -fuckbttv option instead.
+
+Fri Dec 11 19:36:03 MET 1998 (1.2.5)
+
+ - reworked national charset (lang) handling. everthing now done in vbi.c.
+ the rest just deals with latin-1.
+ - first version of searching (functional, but dirty. needs more work.)
+
+Thu Dec 10 20:06:27 MET 1998 (1.2.4)
+
+ - new file edline.c (line editor for the menu line. start for searching...)
+ - blinking cursor
+ - added an 48x48 icon from Ulf Rompe
+ - added pasting into the line editor (insert key).
+ - release ownership of XA_PRIMARY when deselecting selection.
+
+Tue Dec 8 21:26:26 MET 1998 (1.2.3)
+
+ - new file ui.c (most user interface stuff from main.c)
+ - rewrote option parsing
+ - allow specification of child windows on command line. now
+ it's possible to regenerate the complete window layout by
+ the commandline (may be of some use for session management).
+ - some spelling fixes in the help pages from Mark Bryars
+
+Mon Dec 7 16:59:28 MET 1998 (1.2.2)
+
+ - reworked hidden handling in xio.c
+
+Sun Dec 6 19:54:10 MET 1998 (1.2.1)
+
+ - class name changed! from Alevt to AleVT.
+ - window/icon title shows current page number
+ - changed the icon to a 64 pixel width one. not nice but ...

+ - pressing on the CPN puts the page on hold
+ - pressing on the violet * reveals concealed text
+ - added simple menu if no FastText menu is present

+
+ - allow magazin 9 (help system)
+ - start box char after a pagenumber selects subpage 1 (hack)
+ - added a crude page editor (just to create the help pages. not for users.)
+ - started with the online help system (sounds great, hehe)
+
+Tue Dec 1 20:19:53 MET 1998 (1.1.1)
+
+ - added concept of parent and child windows. now, the middle mouse
+ button changes the contens of the child window. if there isn't
+ one, it is created.
+ - Middle mouse button on x/y (subpage cycling) selects the previous
+ subpage. (updating the child with subpages is hairy...)
+
+Sun Nov 29 23:34:18 MET 1998 (1.1.0)
+
+ Release 1.1.0
+
+ - removed most of the recovery for single bad lines (does too much harm)
+ - changed handling of parallel mode transmission (untested. unused in .de)
+ - added selection (text & graphic!). try pasting into xpaint :-)
+ - added cache-clear function ('c')
+ - click on x/y selects the next subpage
+ - some minor tweaks
+ - added an icon bitmap.
+
+Wed Nov 24 23:33:34 MET 1998 (1.0.0)
+
+ First Release 1.0.0
