  current WSS mode
- implemented SVDR Interface (suggested by  Viking@vdrportal.de)
- re-built detection routine, made internal infos available for queries
- added setup option to manually choose between automatic and 'forced' WSS mode
  (force-mode should no longer occupy the /dev/video device!)

  log messages for verification in case of difference)

- added dutch translation texts (thanks to Johan Schuring)
- added support for new i18n system of vdr-1.5.9, but keep full backwards compatibility.

- added mode string to main menu entry for start and stop

2008-03-20 Version 0.1.3
- added suppport for resizing the OSD for non-PAL resolutions
- WSS is now only set for PAL resoultions as the firmware currently only supports PAL

  (suggested by xpix@vdrportal.de)
- added an option to select the algorithm for the calculation of the zoom mode:
  "best possible aspect ratio" and "display all lines" (has only in rare circumstances
  an effect)
- clarified current mode description in main menu
- some additions to the README to clarify prerequisites for avards
- major code restructuring for easier maintenance
- added an additional check to pass through correct OSD size from VDR setup if avards
  is loaded but not active
- added mode definitions to avards_service.h to have also the definitions available
  for other plugins

  instead directly from the device (commandline option: --grab, -g) (based on a patch from e9hack@vdr-portal.de)

  TO support NTSC you need to edit ImageHeight and ImageWidth in detector.c around line 398
