--[ Time fix ]---[ 2006-04-30 ]---

I made a quick update for you guys that recently
turned your clocks ahead for the summer. If the
clock turning caused problems with MTVG, please
recompile MTVG with these new files
[mtvg.sf.net/timefix], and set the time offset in
Preferences->General. Cheers!

---[ v6.2.18 ]---[ 2006-02-18 ]---

This release is for all of you people requesting
custom channel icons! =) Some minor bugs have been
fixed and new users will now be presented with an
extract from the README at startup.

---[ v5.10.26 ]---[ 2005-10-26 ]---

This is a release with minor changes, apart from
the one big thing - the forum! Every show now has
it's own forum! Just right click on a show, select
Forum and you're ready to start a debate. A
summary of the changes: 
 
* every show now has it's own forum! 
* moved preferences tab to separate window 
* resizable reminder dialogue when details are
shown (request) 
* quit button in main window (request) 
* performance optimizations (please note that some
results in lost custom channel names when
upgrading) 
* bug fix in parser (tv_grab_de_tvtoday , and
possibly other grabbers, works better now)

---[ Fix (DE) ]---[ 2005-10-10 ]---

This is a temporary fix for all users in Germany
(and possibly others?). Due to a faulty way of
parsing the channel name, the channel names
wouldn't show in the channel column in mtvg when
using the german tv_today-grabber. Replace the
files at [mtvg.sf.net/degrab] and recompile mtvg,
that should do the trick! Sorry about the
inconvenience!

---[ v5.10.3 ]---[ 2005-10-05 ]---

This release includes mostly user requests! New
features are:

* more new user friendly
* two new views; search view (request) and full
view
* time- and column separators (request)
* manual show column width (request)
* custom channel sorting
* doubleclick on show to toggle description
* category filter (request)
* go to next day at defined daystart (request)

* some performance optimizations and rewrites
* patch (for the US and others) applied; "default
channel name fix". Thanks to nhjm449!
* reorganized prefs-tab for lower resolutions
(request)
* minor bug fixes

---[ v5.9.12 ]---[ 2005-09-14 ]---

This release includes new xml-tags in
descriptions, channel icons with custom size, a
new (and less annoying) channel renaming system,
show blacklisting, automatic checking for new
versions of mtvg while updating listings and a
bugfix in the reminder system.

---[ v5.8.8 ]---[ 2005-08-08 ]---

This release fixes some bugs in the design and
presents a better looking presentation of time and
time navigation. It is also now possible to
customize channel names.

---[ v5.7.8 ]---[ 2005-07-10 ]---

In this release the reminder dialogue (which
alerts the user when a favourite show starts) has
been updated. Now there is a progress bar showing
how much of the show that has passed. The dialogue
auto-closes when the show ends (remaining
countdown). Finally, it is now possible to check
out the details of the show right in the reminder
dialogue!

Bugfix: the application no longer shuts down if
the reminder dialogue is closed instead of using
the "Thanks!" button.

---[ v5.4.28 ]---[ 2005-04-28 ]---

Initial release.
