 ChanSort Change Log 
 ===================
 
+2021-03-27_2005
+- LG webOS 5: fixed handling of channels with an ampersand (&) character showing as "&amp;" and not matching
+  a text-only reference list.
+
+
 2021-03-27
 - SatcoDX (.sdx): fixed handling of format version 105, which contains trailing data after the last channel
 - SatcoDX: changing the character set in the menu now instantly corrects channel names with non-ASCII characters
