Version 1.09 (November 11th, 2001)
=================================

  * Thanks to a bunch of people that sent in patches, VCR works with
  recent avifile versions again. Please grab the snapshot from
the VCR homepage to make sure it will work.

* Splitsize should now work.

Version 1.08 (July 28, 2001)
============================

  * Due to popular demand, applied signal handler for ctrl+c 

  * Added 'contrib' dir with submitted code from vcr-users. Currently,
    it features a GTK gui for easy programming.
  * Added "splitsize" config keyword (--splitsize/-S cmdline parameter) to
    split output video in multiple files.

  * Made compatible with more recent avifile-0.6 CVS tree. The attributes
    'bitrate' and 'keyframe' now make sense for DivX ;-) codecs, which
    means you should probably drastically lower your bitrate setting (about
    900 for decent quality). Also, the discrepancy between audio/video 
    when encoding audio as mp3 seems has vanished.

  * Fixed a bug that ignored 'window' keyword in codec preset. Thanks go to
    Steffen Schreiber for pointing this out.
  
  * Added vcr sample config file to CVS/distribution (was accidentally
    omitted in previous versions)

  * Added .gz to vcr.1 manpage in vcr.spec - apparently this is expected on
    most RPM-based distributions.

Version 1.07 (March 25, 2001)
============================

  * Added debugging code to hopefully trace why on some boxes audio problems
    (related to ALSA?) occur
  
  * Added codec presets

  * Added soundcard initialization using "init-sound" keyword.

  * Fixed some code making vcr compile on avifile-0.53 again.

Version 1.06 (March 15, 2001)
============================

  * Optional MP3 audio compression with "audiobitrate". Seems slightly out of
    sync compared to uncompressed audio capture, but it doesn't get worse
    over time.

  * Added ability to crop frame size with "-w" (thanks to Ren□Rebe!)

  * Updated code to compile and run with avifile-0.6, BUT ONLY WITH THE MOST
    RECENT CVS VERSIONS! E.g., avifile-0.6b4 won't cut the cake.

  * Bigger sound buffer to avoid "scratches" in sound (thanks Henryk Richter!)

  * Fixed a bug that occurred only when setting an invalid tv norm.

  * Added perl script "vcrtimer.pl" to doc/ subdir for easier vcr programming.
    The script is courtesy of David Sobon, and hasn't been tested much yet.
    Give it a try!

Version 1.05 (February 28, 2001)
================================

  * Added 'program' shellscript doc/program_vcr.sh and a crontab example in 
    doc/crontab.example

  * "freqtab" config file directive added. It's used to set your region's
    frequency table. This is necessary if you don't live in Western Europe!
    You can copy it from your .xawtv conf.

  * "grabdevice" configuration option as well as "-g" command line option
    added to use a v4l device other then "/dev/video" (thanks James White)

  * More documentation / code updates, again thanks to David Sobon.

Version 1.04 (February 19, 2001)
================================

  * Updated documentation (thanks to David Sobon for helping out!)

  * New config file option to set default tuner preset to record from

  * commandline option 'r' => 't'!

  * New config/cmdline option 'verbose/-v'

  * Default recording time can be put in config file now
    (e.g. -1 for endless recording)

Version 1.03 (February 04, 2001)
================================

  * Changed configure script to use avifile-config for easier
    configuring.

  * Thanks to Mark Taylor, stereo audio recording works

  * recording time can be specified in seconds, minutes or hours
    (also thanks to Mark Taylor)

  * program can be quit gracefully before recording time ends

Version 1.02 (January 17, 2001)
===============================

  * Setting TV norm didn't work in VCR-1.01. This is fixed now.

  * Audio can now be set to mono/stereo, 44/22/11kHz, 16/8bits in
    config file. (does stereo mode work? - can't test)

  * video window size  & framerate configurable in config file

  * Segmentation fault causing bug, that sometimes appeared when
    closing vcr, fixed.

Version 1.01 (January 16, 2001)
===============================

  * VCR now has its own config file where default settings can be
    stored.

  * You can read about its syntax in the new `man vcr`.

  * You can now specify tv norm in configfile with keyword
    'norm'(e.g. PAL, NTSC,SECAM,..)

Version 1.0 (January 15, 2001): Initial release
===============================================

  * Please read the supplied README file!!
