1Release Notes for 1.8.0
2=======================

4In this release Twisted has been removed from the recordserver and now we use
5kaa.rpc. kaa.rpc is faster than Twisted's xml-rpc calls and so the TV guide is
6more responsive.

9A significant change to the TV recording has been the replacement of the
10record_schedule.xml with two files, schedule.pickle and favorites.pickle. This
11means that unless the record_schedule.xml has been saved to a safe place during
12the installation then you will lose you favorites.
13
14To convert the favorites to the new format do the following:
15
16cp /var/lib/freevo/record_schedule.xml ~ (or cp ~/.freevo/lib/record_schedule.xml ~)
17freevo recordserver stop
18freevo convert_favorites ~/record_schedule.xml
19freevo recordserver start
20
21If you get an error that says:
22    "AttributeError: TvChannel instance has no attribute 'logo'"
23try:
24
25freevo recordserver stop
26rm /var/cache/freevo/TV.xml.pickled (or ~/.freevo/cache/TV.xml.pickled)
27freevo recordserver start
28
29
30Other changes include the renaming of configuration variables, to correct these
31do the following:
32
33freevo convert_config /etc/freevo/local_config
34freevo convert_config /etc/freevo/local_config -w
