- LG WebOS 5: fixed handling for deleted satellite radio channels (some TVs expect majorNumber 0, others 16384)
- "Open File Dialog" now works again when double-clicking on a shortcut to a directory (.lnk file).
- DevExpress library update
- Philips: added support for analog channel lists (Repair/CM_* format)
- GB Freesat reference lists updated
- Hiding "Favorite" column when the list doesn't support favorites
- Samsung .zip loader: auto-detect UTF-16 endianness and allow to change encoding after loading to UTF-16 LE/BE
(some files use Little Endian format and show chinese characters when loaded with the default Big Endian format)
- Customized column order is now preserved across file formats and input sources
- Note about LG WebOS 5 files (e.g. CX series):
It is still unclear what exact firmware version and conditions are needed to properly import a channel list.
Users reported about varying success of an import, reaching from not possible at all, only after a factory reset,
importing the same list twice or working just fine.
The problems is not related to ChanSort, as it can be reproduced by exporting a list to USB, swapping channels
in the TV's menu and trying to loading the previously exported list back. The TV may keep the swapped channels and
show inconsistencies between the channel list in the settings menu and the EPG.
- upgrade to DevExpress 20.1.4
during the TV setup or channel search
- fixed: Sony KDL channel lists were not saved correctly
- upgrade to DevExpres 20.1.3
- Loaders can use Api.View.Default.MessageBox(...) to show a DevExpress themed message box without adding a reference to DX libs
- 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 applying favorites from a reference list (it showed fav letters on the channels, but the fav lists were empty)
- added Polish translation (thanks to Jakub Driver!)
- potential fix for Samsung 1352.0 format, which can contain channels marked as deleted
- 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
Selecting any .xml or .bin file in the folder will now load all DVB\*.xml files from the
channellib and s2channellib sub folders.
The Loader can now return multiple file names to the MainForm that it will use for backup/restore.
- 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)
(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
- .sdx files supported by the "SilvaSchneider" loader are also used by ITT, Medion, Nabo, ok., PEAQ, Schaub Lorenz and, Telefunken
- fixed Sony DVB-T channel lists
- fixed using wrong loader, when a file type was selected in the OpenFileDialog
- added missing DLL required for printing
- support for channel file name as command line argument
- added explorer integration option in settings menu (to register file types)
- added drag/drop support to drag a file from windows explorer onto chansort to open it
- added reference list for vodafone cable TV in Berlin
- changed logic how channel lists can control which columns are visible in the UI
- added column for PcrPid
- removed column AudioPid from SCM lists
- added handling for SCM lists where the value of the "hidden" flag is 255. (Guessing the hidden-status based on another field)
- hide VPID and APID columns for Panasonic (no data provided)
- Samsung J lists could have a \0 character at the end of a unicode16 string, which caused "Copy to Excel" to truncate the text
- Fixed new-version check to work with github (only supports TLS 1.2 and newer now, not SSL 3.0)
- added pull-request with GB Sky reference channel list
- after loading a list it is now ensures that if IsDeleted => OldProgramNr =-1 and for fixing bad files: if OldProgramNr == -1 => IsDeleted = true
- while saving a list, if NewProgramNr == -1, the channel will be set to IsDeleted=true and temporarily gets a sequential NewProgramNr assigned, so that no "-1" or duplicate numbers end up in the file. Afterwards for deleted channels the NewProgramNr will be set back to -1.
- GlobalClone files now set IsDeleted and IsDisabled if a channel was removed
- added a "DllName" property to all loaders (set automatically in the main app) for improved error output
- added a "View" class that lets loaders show a dialog prompt without adding direct references to DX assemblies
- Samsung SCM loader now prompts for TV series if it can't be auto-detected uniquely

the expected files of a Samsung J series or Toshiba .zip channel list
- show error message when trying to open a broken .zip file, which is
most likely caused by exporting to a USB stick formatted with NTFS
