ChanSort Change Log 
===================

2021-09-06
- Philips: fixes for ChannelMap_100, 105 and 110 formats
- Philips: support for FLASH/*.bin DVB-T/C and preset DVB-S lists (mgr_chan_s_pkg.db)
- Toshiba: lists with chmgt_type001\\chmgt.bin can now be opened without zipping them
- Toshiba: selecting the hotelopt_type001.bin will now also load the list (if the type is supported)
- Alden: added support for "Alden" Android SmartTV channel list format (dvr_rtk_tv.db)

2021-09-05_2010
- Philips: fixed wrong .ini settings for formats 100, 105 and 110

2021-09-05
- ChanSort didn't work properly with Windows region settings that don't convert ".BIN" to lowercase ".bin" (e.g. Turkey)
- Philips: added ChanSort.Loader.Philips.ini file to try out different configurations until working ones get confirmed. 
- Philips: disabled deleting channels for most file formats (they require files for menu and tuner to be kept in-sync).
- Philips: identified several variants of ChannelMap_100 format which now have special handling.  
  - one that exports \*cmdb\*.bin files is now fully tested and working.  
  - ones that export only .xml files inside the channellib and s2channellib folders should work too, but not confirmed.  
- Philips: ChannelFormat_105 and 110 specific settings in .ini, currently best-effort without user confirmation.
- Philips: added support for Repair\\mgr_chan_s_fta.db lists. Can be read as a reference list, but editing is
  currently disabled in the .ini file (enabling it is experimental)
- added experimental support for 8 variants of "dtv_cmdb_2.bin" DVB-S channel lists (DVB-C/T not supported yet).  
  Brands known to use this format include Sharp, Toshiba, Dyon, OK.  
  Philips also uses this format as part of ChannelMap_100, but only for the tuner data and uses .xml for the menu.  
  All variants need specific configuration in the ChanSort.Loader.CmdbBin.ini file. If your file is not supported yet,
  please send it to me via github or email.
- Sony: Files with incorrect checksum are no longer rejected, as the TV seems to ignore bad checksums.  
  Information about a bad checksum is visible under File / File Information. 
- Sony: Sky option channels are now in the TV channel list rather than data channel list
- LG: added distinction between analog cable and analog antenna channels for legacy binary files (xxMODEL00001.TLL)
- updated Hungarian translation. Thanks to efi99 on Github!
- pressing the "Del"-key on the keyboard no longer deletes a channel when a text editor is open
- dragging a file (or something else) from outside ChanSort over the ChanSort window no longer creates an error
- opening a file containing a read-only channel list now shows the original numbers

2021-07-27
- Philips ChannelMap\_100: fixed reading/writing favorites
- updated Swiss reference lists with new ONID-TSID-SID for SRF info HD and RSI LA HD
- improved Linux/Wine performance
- "File / File information" now ignores deleted channels when counting duplicates

2021-07-26
- user interface can now be toggled between 
   - **split view**: classic ChanSort UI with new/ordered and old/full list side-by-side
   - **single-table**: simplified and more intuitive UI, but not quite as powerful
  When you choose to "Modify current list", the single-table view is used by default,
  otherwise the split view. But you can always toggle between them.
- added option to select a color theme. The UI now uses the "Office 2019 Colorful" theme by default,
  the old theme was "Office 2010 Blue".
- improved many keyboard shortcuts (open the drop-down menus to see the shortcuts)

2021-07-25
- DVBS_Program.csv, DVBS_CHANNEL_TABLE.csv, MSxxxx_DVBS_CHANNEL_TABLE.csv: 
   Various versions of these files are used by Blaupunkt, Dyon, Hisense, Sharp and many others
   - added support for Hisense .csv files with 6 columns including "channel number" and "LCN"
   - using separate lists for DTV, Radio and Data, which all start with 1
- Panasonic: SAT>IP channels were incorrectly added to the DVB-S channel list
- added [build.md](build.md) with info on how to build ChanSort from source without a DevExpress WinForms license

2021-07-18

2021-06-13
- improved High-DPI support

2021-05-01_1615

- Upgraded to DevExpress WinForms 20.2.7 user interface library

2021-04-25
- removed dependency on Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86):
  Hisense, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung and Toshiba channel list use SQLite database files, which ChanSort accessed
  through a 3rd party ADO.NET data provider, which depended on this package. Now a different ADO.NET provider is used.
- Philips DVB\*.xml: maintain same indentation as original file (can be 0, 2 or 4 spaces) for easier before/after diff

- Philips: another fix for lists with missing s2channellib\\DVBSall.xml file

2021-04-02
- Philips: skip read-only files when loading the list, so they don't cause errors when the list is saved (e.g. DVBSall.xml)

2021-03-28_1809
- LG webOS 5: fixed handling of channels with an ampersand (&) character showing as "&" 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

2021-03-17
- improved reference list channel matching: if multiple channels match the same name, then the candidates are narrowed
  down by service type (TV/radio/data - if known), case sensitivity (upper/lowercase), encryption (unencrypted first

2021-03-16
- Sharp, Dyon, Blaupunkt, ...: added support for DVBS_Program.csv and \*DVBS_CHANNEL_TABLE.csv files

- m3u: detect whether channel names are prefixed with a program number or not, and save the file in the same way.

2021-02-17
- Panasonic: fixed error reading lists with channels that refer to non-existing transponders
- Philips ChannelMap\_45: incrementing fav list version number when saving and setting the last\_watched\_channel\_id to
  the first channel in the fav list (ensuring that the channel is actually present in the list)
- UI: added search button (because it is not obvious that the top row of the table is a search/filter row)

2021-02-09
- Sony: fixed incorrect checksum error for Android based TVs which use CR+LF as line separators (normally only LF is used)
- Philips: show info that it may be necessary to unplug and reboot the TV after the import

- Philips ChannelMap\_45: fixed handling of favorite lists (allow up to 8 lists, empty ones get removed automatically)

- 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. 

2020-11-16
- Philips: TV rejected modified lists because checksums inside chanLst.bin were not updated. This is now fixed.
- LG WebOS 5: fixed handling for deleted satellite radio channels (some TVs expect majorNumber 0, others 16384)

  structure, e.g. PFL4317K, PFL5507K, PFL5806K, PFL7656K

2020-08-03
- Philips: older models which export a Repair/*.BIN file can now be loaded, when there is an invisible .xml file in the same
  directory. 
  (Philips exports the .xml file with file attributes "hidden" and "system", which makes them invisible to Windows Explorer)
- upgrade to DevExpress 20.1.6

2020-07-13
- Samsung 1242 format: channel names were displayed as chinese letters instead of latin
  (Names are not stored as characters in this format, but instead 16 bits of UTF16 code points are encoded as "payload"
  inside 3 byte UTF-8 sequences)

2020-07-12
- added UTF-16 Big Endian and Little Endian options to character set menu
- 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.

2020-05-15 (inofficial)
