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)

    - vbi.c now works without cache.c
    - added alevt-date (set system time from teletext)

Thu Dec 17 05:01:34 MET 1998	(1.3.4)

      in wmaker easier.  instant name for leader is "VTLeader" and for
      the viewing windows "VTPage"
    - made the icon a little bit smaller

Sun Dec 13 17:55:32 MET 1998	(1.3.2)

      the subpages changed all windows.  fixed.

    - slightly modified the hilight colors.

    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.)

    - rewrote option parsing
    - allow specification of child windows on command line. now
      it's possible to regenerate the complete window layout by

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)
