The changes since version 2.6.6:

- Fixed the move assignment operator to check for self-assignment (suggested by
   Stefan Herdler).
- Added missing initialization of cChannel::nameSourceMode (thanks to Winfried Köhler).
- Modified handling channel names with source to make it thread safe (thanks to
   Stefan Herdler).
- Adapted "Setup/Miscellaneous/Show channel names with source" to the new handling
   in cChannel.
- Added a 15 second grace period before actually stopping a VPS timer (thanks to
   Markus Ehrnsperger).
- The primary device no longer starts unnecessary threads if it doesn't have a decoder
   (thanks to Markus Ehrnsperger).
- The info file of a recording is now re-read if an update of the video directory
   is triggered, to make sure modifications from other VDRs are adopted.
- Updated the Hungarian OSD texts (thanks to István Füley).
- The new setup parameters "EPG scan max. channel number" and "EPG pause after scan"
   can be used to tune the behavior of the EPG scan (see MANUAL for details).
- Improved handling present/following data for VPS timers (thanks to Markus Ehrnsperger).
- Logging event status changes now also shows the previous status (thanks to Markus
   Ehrnsperger).
- Fixed logging when a timer has entered the VPS margin.
- The EIT scan no longer deletes the scanList if no device was switched in this pass.
- The EIT scan now skips scanList entries if a device is already tuned to that
   transponder.
- The EIT scan is no longer inhibited if a timer is in VPS margin or needs the
   transponder.
- If the current channel is no longer available because of a VPS timer entering the
   VPS margin, live view now switches to the channel of that timer.
- A device is now always kept occupied if a timer is in VPS margin or needs the
   transponder (thanks to Markus Ehrnsperger).
