Just an announcement so that developers who read timers from SVDRP's LSTT command (or directly from timers.conf) can prepare their tools for the next version of VDR: the 'day' of a timer will be stored as a full date in ISO notation (YYYY-MM-DD) in the next version of VDR. For one, this will allow defining timers that are more than a month in the future, but also (and more important) will solve the problem of single shot timers not being deleted from timers.conf after they have ended. For compatibility with earlier versions of VDR it will still accept the "day of month" notation (1...31) when reading existing timers.conf files or handling NEWT or MODT commands. The possible formats for 'day' will be a. 13 b. 2005-03-13 c. MTWTFSS d. MTWTFSS@13 e. MTWTFSS@2005-03-13 Note that a and d will only be accepted by VDR, but will never be written into timers.conf nor used with LSTT. Klaus
