0.8.3-RC6 (20071229)
* encode jobs: deleted records on the box were not removed
  from the encoded queue. 
* bugfix: NPE sort / compare date
* INFO.txt was missing in CVS JAR-bundle
0.8.3-RC5 (20070915)
* prj: After my notebook had been stolen it took some time to reconstruct the
  cowfish project. I used the time to migrate from netbeans 3.6 to eclipse 3.3,
  refurbished the sourcecode and added eclipse and CVS support to the 
  project files within the distribution. There should not be any major 
  functional differences to the RC4 version, but it should be now much easier
  for other JAVA developer to use the cowfish project.
0.8.3-RC4 (20070727)
* crid: VideoLan Client Navigation scrollbar supported:
  You do not need to use the cowfish HTML navi-bar anymore to cue the movie 
  forwards or backwards - simply use the VideoLan Clients scrollbar.
* cf: redesigned logging for cowfish framework (supports now hierachical 
  logging)
0.8.3-RC3 (20070517)
* fixed: encoder export: wrong timestring within title and -timestamp option.
* Display number of logged errors/warnings at index page - direct link to logfile 
0.8.3-RC1 (20070305)
* added warn/error logging link
* fixed: force to delete recording, even if single referenced entries do not
  exist.
* MacOS/MPlayer: do not log error when player stops.
20070214: 
* fix in class BasicStreamForwarder: buffers might got lost.
beta-20070213
* FTP BUGFIX: Because of an bug/feature? in the FTP library there remained a thread
  and proably opened connection for every file accessed via FTP. This resource
  leak might have caused serious performance and server conections issues on
  your system (if you configured the FTP access).
* fixed wrong back to index link on encoder page
* added java debug-option comment to unix and mac starter scripts
beta-20070211
* NEW: added filter for series
* improved back to index link on vlcplugin page  
* faster response after clicking "delete" or info links.
  (device-Index is not updated for every request.)
* added mplayer documentation for playback.
  (The 0.8.6a version of the videolan client seemed to be more instable for 
    cowfish playback so I switched to the mplayer application.)
beta-20070204
* faster response after clicking "delete" link and improved navigation.
* no new index is sent to the browser after clicking play local or export links
* sortorder memorized
* new localhost detection
* update Encoder Joblist everytime the Encoder Joblist page is displayed
  (keep in sync with recording index)
beta-20070201
* added refresh link to Encoder Joblist page
  (joblists are updated usually every five minutes)
* Bugfix: more stable periodically update of the encoder jobs
* Documentation: added encoder options for Palm Organizer
beta-20070129
* improved localhost detection

    "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Dokumente\Eigene Videos" 
  does not exist.)

RC2 2006-12-30
* Init: Bugfix for RC1 (resources /bin/linux/encoder.sh and 
  /bin/windows/encoder.bat do not exist. So the server failed to start.

RC1 2006-12-30
* CRID: first version with encoder interface. 
  (preconfigured for ffmpeg and iPod Video.
* Config: properties are sorted by name.
* HTTPServ: added MIME Types for mp4 and mov.
* Config: reordered directory structure of local resources.

• (RC6) CRID: Bugfix sequence of recordings : Added previous and following recording fragments for a sequence of recordings on the same channel.
• (RC6) CRID: Removed offset correction when movie is started because it could skip the beginning of the movie during conversion .
• (RC5) HTTP-Server/Navi Bar: Bugfix for autorefresh and clickt on skip buttons.
• (RC5) Autorefresh navi-bar (navi.refresh=5) enabled by default on multiprocessor systems.
• CRID Bugfix (RC4): Recording Status was not updated correctly.
• Don't start webbrowser on Linux by DEFAULT as long the property "browserCMD" is not defined.
• Linux Starter (RC4): added environment variable LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1 to SuSE systemservice script because of Java 1.4.2 API bug #5052844 . Translated SuSE install instructions.
• CfFile Bugfix (RC3): because a bug in the FTP library cowfish failed to playback movies recorded with the latest beta-firmware (.rec), stored at a local attached USB HDD.
• CRID Bugfix:Recording Status was not updated
• CRID Enhancement: Added support for VLC Plugin (Mozilla Browsers and Internet Explorer - Thanks to Hanspeter and Dr.Who)
• Server: Added script to install cowfish as a service on Linux OS. (Thanks to HansPeter)

• CRID: Active recordings could be streamed (usually via FTP)
• CRID: first version to stream timeshift data. (BETA) (handling is not that smooth, yet - vlc might abort during playback, navigation is slow, changing the channel during playback is not supported. If you use a NAS device via FTP you should always watch a 1 minute delayed videostream for a quite stable operation. If you use the USB-HDD via FTP use at least a 10 minute delay.)
• CRID: added boolean readwrite_access property (enabled by default for FTP access) to enable or disable timeshift access.
• CRID: Bufferes were not cleared fully before navigation.

• CRID: optimized seek to start with IFrame.
• CRID: Doku Bug - password for FTP media:media instead of usb1:usb1.
• javadoc for package cowfish.streamserver.source
• FTP FileAccess: fixed exception handling issue to interrupt thread execution.

• Crid: Server skips *.mpg files during streaming that can not be read.
• Crid: Server uses SCR-Start and SCR-End timestamp information from the *.crid file to determine the correct *.fmpg fileset (thanks to Karlo).

• first version with FTP support.
• reduced CPU usage.
• increased default values for properties "buffers" (512) and "packagesize" (8192).
