New things in this release: Better testing: r114: Unit tests for video.py r148: Updated unit test now that we create more tables r151: Start work on syndication unit tests r153: Unit test for bad syndication dates, as well as more flexibility in db connections needed for this unit test r157: Nicer unit test failure output, and refactor GetVideoDir() into the utility module r181: Slightly improve syndication unit tests r183: Add flag parsing to unit tests, and fix some more flag name changes Better documentation: r117: Added a man page for video.py -- I'm not 100% happy with its name though Bug fixes: r114: Fixed a bug where the new filename for video transcode could be the same as the input filename, resulting in video corruption.

New things in this release: There is now a users mailing list at http://lists.stillhq.com/listinfo.cgi/mythnettv-stillhq.com Moved to a public SVN server at http://www.stillhq.com/mythtv/mythnettv/svn/ Added the 'justone' syntax to the download command Another try at using gflags. This means that all the command lines have changed slightly. Moved the core of MythTV out of the user interface file. Started writing unit tests Changed user output code so that it doesn't insist on writing to stdout. You can now write to other file descriptors, which makes things like unit tests much easier to write. Added video/msvideo to the enclosure whitelist Added HTTP download progress information Added a flag which turns off the prompts for markread (--noprompt) Patches from Thomas Mashos Search ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt, /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt and /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt in that order for MySQL connection information A manpage setup.py video.py now has a simple command line interface to let you query it Fix update of inactive programs bug per http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5580005&postcount=4 Better DB error handling Included a COPYING file with the right version of the GPL (it was missing before) Fixed a bug where programs would be downloaded more than once (found with a unit test!) Started raising exceptions instead of just sys.exit(1). This should make life easier…
