The changes since version 2.7.4:

- Added the "override" keyword to virtual functions reimplemented in derived classes.
   Plugins may want to do the same, but don't have to.
- Removed -Werror=overloaded-virtual from Makefile and Make.config(.template).
   Plugins may want to do the same, but don't have to.
- Renamed cStatus::Osd*2() to cStatus::Osd*().
   Plugins that use these recently introduced functions need to remove the '2' from the name.
- The new virtual function cSkinDisplayMenu::SetItemEvent(..., const cTimer *Timer) can be
   used to get full access to the timer (if any) defined for this event.
- Added mutex locks to protect creating/deleting cStatus and cEpgHandler objects (suggested
   by Markus Ehrnsperger).
- Making absolutely sure cEvent::Title() never returns NULL.
   APIVERSNUM is now 30007.
- Improved subtitle handling:
   + Subtitles now disappear as signaled in the data stream.
   + Subtitles are now kept in memory for at least 120 seconds, to have them readily
     available after a short rewind during replay.
- Subtitles can now be temporarily displayed after a fast rewind:
   + The setup option "DVB/Display subtitles" now has three settings: "no" and "always"
     behave like before, the new "after rewind" turns on subtitles after a fast rewind
     during replay, and off again when the point where the rewind was started is reached.
- Removed an unnecessary call to cDevice::GetVideoSize().
- Moved the call to Empty() back into the pmSlow case (thanks to Andreas Baierl).
- Fixed spurious times shown in the progress display when switching from "play" to "fast
   forward".
- Now deleting old recording info before reading modified info file (suggested by
   Stefan Hofmann).
- Plugins need to be rebuilt.
