- fixed loading of some Philips 120 / 125 lists that complained about missing channels in MtkChannelList.xml
- SignalSource.IP is now treated as a broadcast system (distinguishing Analog/Dvb/Ip) and no longer a broadcast medium (like antenna/cable/sat).
- SignalSource.Digital was renamed to DVB
- fixed text input in "Favorites" column (for lists that only have favorite markers and not individual numbers)
- converted source code to use SDK/MSBuild project files (for future migration to .NET 7 or 8)
- added "Pooling=False" parameter to all Sqlite connection strings to prevent open file locks after closing the connection and to avoid extreme delays when using CloseAllPools()
- C# code refactoring "using var" instead of "using ( ) { }" where possible
- included latest translation to Polish (thanks to J.D.)
- reorganized File menu and tool bar
- allow renaming channels in SatcoDX channel lists (\*.sdx)

- Reference list dialog further optimized to fit 1920x1080 @150% or 1024x768 @100% screens
- re-imported translation file (to fix incorrect letters in language names like "Русский")
- upgrade to DevExpress 22.1 libraries
- added experimental support for Loewe servicelist.xml format
- added polarity information to Excel export (and changed column order slightly)
- added missing Romanian translation files to the .zip
- added write support for dtv_cmdb_2.bin
- File / Information no longer shows duplicate program number warnings for negative numbers (-2 is an allowed dupe for dtv_cmdb_2)
- fixed Sony unit test (Sky option channels are now counted as TV and not data)
".BIN" and ".BIN" to lowercase ".bin".
- Philips: Removing a channel from a list is no longer possible (because it is not supported by the TV's import).
When saving a file, all unsorted channels will be placed at the end of the list.
- support for Philips Repair\mgr_chan_s_fta.db lists is now read-only. Files can be used as a reference list,
but modifying them won't be possible.
- added round-trip unit test for all loaders to check reordering channels and favorites, saving and reloading
- internal code clean-up regarding different favorite list modes (none vs. flags vs. ordered per source vs. mixed source)
- Toshiba settingsDB.db: support for lists without analog tuner data (missing TADTunerDataTable)
- Grunding: failed to load lists where the <Digital> element did not contain a <channels> child element
- W.I.P: reworking the reference list system so that a simple list of channels can be applied to the main channel numbers or a particular favorite list.
(The "Automatically reorder all lists" options currently does not work)
- Philips ChannelMap_45: fixed handling of favorite lists (allow up to 8 lists, empty ones get removed automatically)
- Philips ChannelMap_45: no longer prompting to reorder channels sequentially (to close gaps).
(This feature caused DVB-C/T list to only contain odd numbers and DVB-S to contain only even numbers, when both exist)
- Philips ChannelMap_45: added display for service type (TV/radio), encryption, sat frequency polarity
- Philips ChannelMap_45: fixed display of DVB-C/T frequency
- Philips Repair\chanLst.bin (1.x): fixed sat frequency display for transponders with vertical polarity
- added Hungarian translation (credits to Istvan Krisko)
- Sony XML: fixed display of wrong DVB-C cable channel/transponder number
- LG webOS 5: unfortunately no news yet, but the insight that some "CX" models run on webOS 3.6 and others on 5.1, using
different file formats.
currently supports:
- read and write of satellite channels (incl. sorted favorites and "locked" flag)
- read-only of digital cable/antenna files (still missing transponder information)
- Philips: combined DVB-C and DVB-T into a single list with a common number domain
- added exprimental support for Samsung "iptv" list
- added Suiss reference lists with Astra 19.2E + Hotbird 13.0E channels
- fixed "System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException..." when opening a file which supports mixed-source favorite lists
(Sony, Philips, Hisense, ...)
- System requirements changed: .NET Framework 4.8
- added high-DPI support
- added Accessibility menu options to change the UI font size
- fixed non-unique numbers in mixed-source favorite lists when using "Add to Fav A" (Panasonic, Hisense, Sony, Philips)
- function to reorder channels from 1-x is now reordering all channels when only a single one was selected
- function to sort channels by name is now reordering all channels when only a single one was selected
- LG GlobalClone: some changes that might fix problems where the TV didn't work properly
with an importet list (ChanSort now modifies less data in the file)
- Menu items for hide/unhide, skip/unskip, lock/unlock are now disabled when these features are not supported by the
channel list file format
- Applying a .txt reference list (which doesn't contain information about skip/lock/hide) will no longer clear these
flags in the current channel list
- fixed issue when saving Sony Android list with high program numbers (causing negative int32 values due to bit shift)
- for unknown DVB service types the UI now shows the number instead of an empty string
- loaders are now setting the OldFavIndex (to be consistent with the use OldProgramNr)
- Form shows full file path in title bar
- no longer defaulting to "swap" mode when opening a file and using "current order"
- show "Source" column in the left list when editing a mixed source favorite list
- constructor replaces empty masks with full masks (i.e. if no tv/radio/data bit is set, then all bits get set and the list can hold any such channels)
- DataRoot.GetChannelList(SignalSource) works now accordingly to ignore a mask when it is empty in the search criteria (as opposed to the list's SignalSource)
Added checkbox for Data/Other in the reference list dialog
- ChannelList.SignalSource and DataRoot.GetChannelList(SignalSource) are now handled so that if all bits of a given Mask are left 0, the list will accept anything.
i.e. if Tv/Radio/Data is left 0, the list can contain all of them as well as channels that have neither of the 3 bits set.
- added basic unit tests for each loader to ensure test files have the expected numbers of channels in the various sub lists
- LG GlobalClone: data/option channels were not listed before and are now shown in the TV channel list
- added function to copy list to clipboard (which can then be pasted into Excel or other programs)
- Samsung ZIP: deleting a channel now really deletes it from the file, instead of marking it as deleted
and assigning -1 as channel number (which appears as 65535 on some models)
(There are MANY different file formats, only a few are currently supported)
- fixed "most-recently-used" getting reversed every time the program was started
- added "UTF-8 (Unicode)" character set to menu
- fixed disappearing columns when loading different channel lists without restarting the application
