PGI v0.7, Owashi for IpBox 9000HD
General:
- Fix: Web-interface bugs (recordings were not shown, message that platform was not supported)
- Fix: Web-interface now reboots and shuts down receiver gracefully (hopefully less HDD errors)
- Fix: swap was not activated at boot
- Fix: hdd_temp plugin did not start correctly
- Fix: mkfs uses correct inode size of 128 by default now for ext2 and ext3, no need for special mkfs command switches anymore for e2
- Fix: /var/lock is no longer used by pppd (this dir was missing in 0.6.1) /var/run, /var/lock and /var/tmp all point to /tmp now
- Fix: increased DHCP timeout to allow some Wi-Fi sticks getting their IP address correctly
- Fix: debug was on by default for startup scripts
- Fix: Samba (nmbd) has been patched to correctly identify main listening interface (allows network neighbourhood browsing out of box)
- New: Moved USB devices automounter from main interface to OS level, which should allow loading skins from USB connected devices
- New: UTF8 characters are supported now by CIFS mounting, i.e. correct support for non-latin characters when IPBox acts as SMB client
- New: commands to easily change receiver settings without editing files or SQL database: conflist/confget/confset/optget/optset
- New: proper reboot/poweroff commands that will try to unmount devices before shutdown to avoid HDD errors
- New: EXPERIMENTAL FTDI Serial-to-USB kernel driver, supports Smargo external card reader and any other devices using this chipset
- Change: some options removed from pgi.conf, they are now in the new PGI Settings menu in the sbox main menu
- Change: root file system has been cleaned of LOTS of unused scripts and some binaries
- Change: settings backup archives file names contain dashes instead of colons to be compatible with NFS under Windows
- Update: settings backup script saves /var/etc/Wireless and /var/etc/epg
- Update: oscam ump SVN version 2071, fixed some bugs, changes for DRE cards AU
- Update: busybox 1.16.1
- Update: usb_modeswitch 1.1.2 and improved USB 3G modems handling
- Update: e2fsprogs 1.41.12
- Update: some new hardware IDs added for the RT3070 chipset based Wi-Fi device driver
- Update: Samba version update to 1.9.18p10
- Update: TP list updated using kingofsat.net, lyngsat.com and flysat.com data
sbox:
- Fix: Crash in handling of recorded/timeshift file names if EPG was empty or containing only non-recognised characters
- Fix: Recording timers did not work anymore when a lot of timers have been set in the past
- Fix: Channel searching menu now supports multiple transponders with the same frequency, they can all be selected now, not only the first in the list
- Fix: Switching audio tracks on radio channels with multiple tracks works now immediately
- Fix: Remote stopped reacting if a plugin was running for a longer time (mostly shoutcast)
- Fix: Subchannel switching took extremely long but it's a lot faster now and if you need it even faster there is an option in PGI Settings
- Fix: Pressing RCL button while having infobanner displayed did not change EPG
- New: PGI Settings menu in Plug-In section of sbox main menu
- New: FavPiP plugin can be assigned to the OK button (press FAV to go to the usual channels list)
- New: Yellow button in EPG list opens Timer Settings
- New: Popup to warn user that box is about to shutdown. The user can press a button to abort it. The popup is shown for sleep timers and for recordings.
- New: Selection whether the full or short channel name is shown in VFD. Now you can have custom names for VFD independent from OSD (edit them using PC-Editor).
- New: The currently selected channel will be remembered and switched on even if the box restarts due to crash or panic
- New: Added keyword searching for youtube player
- New: EXPERIMENTAL Zap-to-Record feature. If activated the receiver will always switch to the recorded channel before recording. This is to avoid more than one simultaneous decoding requests which some cards cannot handle.
- New: added Estonian user interface lanugage (thanks raudjalg), updated/improved English, German and Russian
- Change: The PiP button cycles the small and big PiP window now endlessly, the exit button closes pip window
- Change: New file format for /var/etc/nonstandard_encoding, see the file for details if you use it
sbox EPG:
- Fix: Increased buffer size for epg
- New: Feature to allow regular scanning of all transponders in favlist for new epg data (see PGI Settings menu)

Plugins:
- Fix: lots of crashes in shoutcast-plugin when navigating in the lists
