37[1.0.3] 2018-10-13, contributed by DF5EQ
38- DVB-T scanning is skipped for AT, DE and CO
39- DVB_T2 scanning is no longer skipped at all, but a mechanism is in place for
40  doing it by country
41- PLP ID 1 is enabled for AT
42- some manual code formatting in scan.c, where the line length limits of the

50
51[1.0.1] 2017-03-29
52 - fix a corner case where a pair of transponders kept adding each other to
53   the scanning loop, without ending up in any list we use for avoiding them
54   in the future. The end result was an endless loop. Thanks
55   https://github.com/mfyorp for reporting the bug and testing the fix.
56
57[1.0.0] 2016-10-14
58 - project forked from http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/w_scan/index2.html and renamed w_scan2
59 - keep duplicate transponders by default because a stronger transponder with
60   the same ID might have a higher frequency and be discarded simply because
61   it's scanned later. Also don't replace the current transponder with an
62   advertised one by default. The latter may have a lower signal strength.
63   More details here:
64   https://stefantalpalaru.wordpress.com/2016/02/04/scan-all-the-things/ .
65   The old behaviour can be enabled with -d (--delete-duplicate-transponders).
66 - all files are now ASCII or UTF-8 and have Unix line terminators
67 - refactored the autotools files
68
692015-01-01
70 - check data for descriptor 0x83 to be multiple of 4bytes;
71   On S4E8 0x83 seems to be used for something different as LCN and
72   caused segfault if read in 4byte packets.
73   May be this abuse of 0x83 renders parsing of LCN unusable at all.
74 - find_transponder_by_freq(): fix logging (add missing print_transponder() calls)
75 - emulated dvb device;
76   now accept DVB-S/S2 logs down to 20130331. However, logs earlier
77   than 20140529 are missing last two bytes in SI data hexdumps. :(
78 - modify scan algorithm for tsid, onid, nid;
79   On S4E8, PAT transports wrong transport_stream_id - and therefore
80   scan was endless loop. :(
81   This was actually not an w_scan error, it is an error in sats si
82   tables.
83   1. find_transponder()
84      - now do a strict check for (ONID,NID,TSID); check all 3 pids.
85   2. check_duplicate_transponders()
86      - copy NIT updated tp props from deleted tp to remaining tp,
87        if remaining tp was not yet updated. Sync ids as well.
88      - new function copy_duplicate_tp() to not have this copy several times.
89   3. parse_pat()
90      - update tsid for TERR scans only. On terr scans, freq may be '0' or
91        completely wrong in NIT and find_transponder_by_freq() cannot find
92        those transponders otherwise.
93   4. parse_nit()
94      - move update of (ONID,NID,TSID) to later position, where also tp props
95        are updated. Code easier to read this way.
96      - call check_duplicate_transponders() as soon as new tp was added from
97        NIT.
98   5. tune_to_transponder()
99      - add missing polarization check for sat - this one is a bug fix.
100 - vdr output: update translation table for satname: w_scan <-> VDR
101 - scr_cmd: fix FE_DISEQC_SEND_MASTER_CMD data pointer.
102 - update S4E8 transponder list
103
1042014-11-22
105 - move '-lrt' from LDFLAGS to AM_LDFLAGS
106 - move nested function LeapYear() outside modified_julian_date_to_utc()
107 - add stream_type 0x24 (HEVC)
108 - bug fix: on Finnish DVBT/T2 network, 'other terrestrial frequencies' are
109   signalled by other_frequency flag, but not transmitted in NIT.
110   If those freqs could not be tuned due to bad reception, w_scan gets in
111   an endless loop; fix it. Thanks to Olli Salonen for report and help
112   debugging on remote side.
113
1142014-07-27
115 - for changes against 20140118, see
116     * 2014-07-12 (dev)
117     * 2014-06-28 (dev)
118     * 2014-05-29 (dev)
119     * 2014-04-23 (dev)
120
1212014-07-12 (dev)
122 - alloc_transponder(): check for polarization on sat.
123 - update S19E2, based on emulated scan with logfiles
124   from easy-vdr.de developers.
125 - move freq calculations from Hz to MHz to separate func
126 - if tuning fails on on any tp; instead of simply retrying with same
127   settings -> redo with as much as possible params to AUTO. On some
128   wrong NIT tables, params are just wrong, this *may* help in some cases.
129 - start reworking VLC xspf playlist:
130   * validate using http://validator.xspf.org/
131     (NOTE: VLC-2.1.4 saved DVB xspf doesnt conform to XSPF)
132   * compare to VLC-2.1.4
133   * test VLC DVBT on Win64 using BDA
134
1352014-06-28 (dev)
136 - new contact email address
137 - fix compile warnings reported by A.Palosaari in parse-dvbscan.c
138 - improve DVB-T/T2 scans for Finland, thanks to A.Palosaari,
139   now doing separate DVB-T2 loop for terr scans.
140 - add generic w_scan XML output format, to be used for data exchange
141   with w_scan.
142 - frequency_list_descriptor: dont ignore coding_type
143 - simplify struct transponder
144 - add long commandline arguments (short ones are still working.)
145 - new double linked lists (foreseen to be sortable later.)
146 - new: logical_channel_descriptor
147 - add dvb device emulation for debugging based on logfiles (developer use only.)
148 - new signal detection
149
1502014-05-29 (dev)
151 - fix scr freq rounding
152
1532014-04-23 (dev)

157 - remove kaffeine output as its no longer possible to support it
158 - add fflush command for stderr && stdout
159
1602014-01-18
161 - improve scr
162   - rewrite setup_scr()
163   - take VCO offset caused by 4MHz step size into account.
164   - check return value in set_frontend()
165   - reduce delay after setting 18V LNB voltage to 5msec
166   - reduce diseqc repeat to 100ms
167   - remove a few comments and debug stuff
168   - still experimental, waiting for tests - if you own such devices, pls send
169     me logs: 'w_scan -fs -s SXXX (..) -u<ID>:<USERBAND>:<A|B> 2>&1 | tee log.txt'
170 - VLC xspf
171   - remove unused stuff && started to adopt to current vlc;
172     but no doc avail for this VLC file format. :(
173 - Sat scan: add missing check of setup_switch() return value.
174
1752014-01-02
176 - add experimental(!) support for scr.
177   i dont have spec && need testers for EN50494 for proper support.
1782013-10-31
179 - update 19,2E, 23,5E, 28,2E. Thanks to John Horck.
1802013-03-31
181 - adapt to vdr next version number, skipping support for vdr < 1.7.4
182 - fix compiling for newer frontend.h
183 - apply small other patches since 2012-11-11
1842012-11-11
185 - apply patch from Michael Stilmant, who discovered two string buffers
186   being too small by one byte.
1872012-06-05
188 - since some dvb drivers are buggy and dont tune DVB-S with ROLLOFF_AUTO,
189   therefore now explictly set ROLLOFF_35 in case of DVB-S. Thanks to R.Warsow
190   for report && testing.
191   NOTE: this is just a work-around for broken DVB-S drivers,
192         since DVB-S means by DVB standard *always* RO = 0.35
193 - print transponder data from satellite list during scan to make debug reports easier
194   to read
195
1962012-05-25

266 - VLC xspf output: as VLC-2.x.x no longer supports comma (VLC-1.x.x did) but only colon
267   as separator, update xspf output format accordingly. Thanks to Jacek Sliwerski for
268   report && samples.
269 - increase max number of supported dvb adapters, based on a patch send by Julian Scheel.
270    - auto scan: /dev/dvb/adapter(0..15)
271    - by option -a <NUM>: /dev/dvb/adapter(0..31)
272 - blacklist ( = look for a better device on auto scan ) Pinnacle PCTV 290e for cable:
273    - known to have weakness on cable because of integrated preamp
274    - it's driver doesnt report symbolrates correctly.
275    - for terrestrial scan it's still a preferred device
276 - no longer distribute a precompiled version of w_scan inside package.
277
2782012-04-15
279 - add a missing 'break' for initial tuning data on satellite,
280   reported by L. Dolezel
281 - rework audio language descriptor to avoid segfault,
282   reported by L. Dolezel
283 - add Israel DVB-T, requested by B. Nahari
284 - update S13E0 transponders
285 - fix bug introduced by 'transponder scan logic modified' in 20120128,
286   which prevents -x option on US vsb/qam, reported by 'locuse'
287 - add experimental cmake build support. For now building with autotools
288   is still the standard way, but if you want to test, use
289      cd w_scan-<VERSION>
290      mkdir build && cd build
291      cmake ..
292      make
293      make install
2942012-01-28
295 - modify dvb api < 5.5 logic, to find out which delsys are supported by hw
296 - init-data: plot only verified data
297 - transponder scan logic modified:
298    - alloc_transponder(): add newly allocated transponder only to new_transponders,
299      if freq not yet known.
300    - tune_to_transponder(): add tuned transponder only to scanned_transponders,
301      if freq not yet known.
302    - find_transponder(): replaced by find_transponder_by_freq()
303    - TODO: check side effects on 2nd gen delsys
3042012-01-12
305 - add hack to allow compile against api 5.3
3062012-01-11
307 - initial DVB-T2 support. Thanks for testing, code snippets and suggestions to Rolf Ahrenberg.
308 - go back to allow to compile with DVB-API >= 5.3 and remove configure check (too early)
309 - add video type to vdr output
310 - change CAid to uppercase in vdr output
311 - restructure Parameter print inside vdr output
312 - add audio type and subtitling pids if vdr version > 1.7 (even if no '1.8.0' exists yet)
3132012-01-08
314 - fix a few compiler warnings, reported by rofa
315 - fix configure script to check for DVB API >= 5.5 as reported by rofa
316 - copy current transponder before parsing NIT in case of terrestrial
317   since T2 delsys descriptor doesnt report all settings belonging to hardware.
318
3192012-01-07
320 - big cleanup:
321    - no longer tune with dvb api 3.2 drivers (pls upgrade your drivers)
322    - remove all occurencies of..
323       - BANDWIDTH_*
324       - FE_QPSK
325       - FE_QAM
326       - FE_OFDM
327       - FE_ATSC
328    - remove #ifdef's for features in dvb api added before 5.5;
329      therefore: COMPILING NOW NEEDS DVB API 5.5 OR HIGHER !
330    - because ofdm is no longer used by DVB-T only, Satellite frontends not
331      only use QPSK, DVB-C2 will use OFDM similar to DVB-T(2):
332       - rename ofdm_* to terr_*
333       - rename qam_* to cable_*
334       - rename qpsk_* to sat_*
335       - rename tuning parameters
336 - prepare on newer desciptors:
337   - add T2_delivery_system_descriptor (untested - need testers)
338   - add C2_delivery_system_descriptor (no linux support yet at all)
339   - prepare on SH_delivery_system_descriptor (no functionality yet)
340   - add network_change_notify_descriptor (no functionality yet)
341 - prepare on DVB-T2 scan:
342   - add bandwidths 10MHz, 1,712MHz
343   - add FEC_3_5, FEC_4_5 (DVB-T2)
344   - add QAM256 to terrestrial scan (DVB-T2)
345   - add transmission modes 1k,16k,32k (DVB-T2)
346   - add guard interval 1/128, 19/128, 19/256
347 - add several new items to the internal transponder tuning data for later support of
348   DVB-C2 and DVB-T2
349 - now set plp_id during tune id terrestrial scan and delivery_system = SYS_DVBT2
350 - try to discover supported delivery_systems per frontend using new ioctl DTV_ENUM_DELSYS
351   if DVB driver has api version 5.5 or higher (fallback otherwise)
352 - now do CRC32 checks in w_scan and prolong timeouts if CRC failures
353   occur (may help in some cases if bad reception)
354 - extend output format for 'scan' initial_tuning_data to deal with
355   DVB-T2/DVB-C2.
356   - old: # T <freq> <bw> <fec_hi> <fec_lo> <mod> <tm> <guard> <hi> [# comment]
357          # C <freq> <sr> <fec> <mod> [# comment]
358
359   - new: # T[2] [plp_id] [system_id] <freq> <bw> <fec_hi> <fec_lo> <mod> <tm> <guard> <hi> [# comment]
360          # C[2] [plp_id] [data_slice_id] [system_id] <freq> <sr> <fec> <mod> [# comment]
361   (NOTE: it's time to adopt 'scan' to API V5 && at least DVB-T2!)
362 - update documentation in ./doc to reflect file change of initial_tuning_data
363
364
3652011-10-11
366 - add S152E0, S156E0, S166E0, update S160E0, thanks to ozvdr (Hans)
367 - no longer skip over the following audio formats in case of VDR output (now supported by vdr)
368   - 13818-7 audio w. ADTS transp syntax
369   - 14496-3 audio w. LATM transp syntax
370 - change xine output:
371   old: output standard audio only.
372   new: output AC3 audio. If not found, fall back to standard audio
373 - change mplayer output:
374   old: output '+' separated list of standard audio pids.
375   new: output '+' separated list of ac3 audio pids, followed by standard audio pids.
376 - change vlc xspf output:
377   - apply stray newlines patch for vlc dvb-s format,
378     as reported by Juergen Lock (cosmetics)
379   - convert to UTF-8 using glibc
380   - remove unneeded duplicated char recoding
381
3822011-07-02
383 - add requested format 'Gstreamer Plugin dvbsrc'
384 - fix counting services
385 - cosmetics
386
3872011-06-16
388 - updates to several satellites, thanks to Dotan Porat for
389   reporting and providing initial patches
390   - Nilesat 101/102 + Atlantik Bird 4A
391   - one transponder on Astra 19E2
392   - Amos 1/2/3
393
3942011-05-02
395 - fix wrong ATSC 8VSB and 16VSB identifiers for xine output, thanks to M.Krufky
396 - now assume country = US, if frontend type = ATSC. This should work, since
397   most non-US countries using ATSC still use the same channel lists as US.
398 - now assume vdr format vdr-1.7, if VSB/QAM-B scan with vdr settings.
399   ATSC users of VDR anyway need to patch their sources or upgrade to
400   latest developer releases.
401 - check if choosen frontend type fits to choosen scan type
402 - extend -a option to allow string /dev/dvb/adapterN/frontendM

404
4052011-04-10
406 - fix qam setting BR
407 - add option -C <charset>, output coding (default: guess users codepage).
408   if given, w_scan uses iconv to translate to this charset,
409    i.e. 'w_scan -fc -cDE -C utf-8'
410   if not given, w_scan tries to *guess* your charset and translates to that.
411 - now guess users country if -c <country> not given.
412 - add compiler flags: Wall, Wextra, Wno-comment, Wswitch-default, Wno-unused-parameter
413 - remove all remaining <TAB> whitespaces.

429 - NOTE@maintainers: it's called 'w_scan', not 'w-scan' or 'wscan'.<br>
430   Please fix if mistyped in your repo.
431 - fix memory leak in parse-dvbscan.c:142 (dvbscan_parse_tuningdata; char * buf)

438 - fix octals in countries.c (backport from vdr-plugin wirbelscan-0.0.7)
439 - check/report hardware frequency and symbolrate limits to avoid error
440   messages in syslog

442
4432011-02-06
444 - bugfix: fix wrong comparison in check_frontend(), which lets the caller assume
445   that to not yet have pll lock and wait until timeout is over. This may speed up
446   each tuning to a new transponder a little. Thanks to Dick Streefland.
447 - set PILOT_AUTO on satellite transponders found by NIT. There's no flag inside NIT
448   to find explicitly 'ON' or 'OFF', so AUTO is the very best approach here.
449   Thanks to Dick Streefland.
450 - change <TAB> to <SPACE> in satellites.{c,h} and countries.{c.h} for better compat
451   with wirbelscan-0.0.6.
452 - add channel identifier USERLIST to channellist_t for compat with wirbelscan-0.0.6

526    or
527    * scan these additional symbolrates (default: 6900 and 6875 only)
528        6111, 6250, 6790, 6811, 5900, 5000, 3450, 6950, 7000, 6952
