New release. Nothing too visible, but lots of changes under the hood. VDR-support got the most love, thanks to many german (speaking) persons with their VDRs . Most visible changes besides the usual bug fixes (and addtitions):

- Switched from rexml to libxml. This adds a new dependency, but the speed gain is really worth it. Install it from the home page.
- Added support for multiple VDRs. This also changed the config format so please run the setup again if you are using VDR. You can now also choose the charset for each VDR if you aren't using UTF-8.
- Knots should now handle many VDR channels better (tested with 1500+ channels)
- New basic html-frontend. It was released before, but I never really announced it. You can now watch videos/tv with your browser or any external video player. Flash-video requires libmp3lame-support from your VLC/ffmpeg.
- Added lots of startup checks so Knots should now handle VLC's startup errors etc. better.
- Added a script to convert non-utf-8 characters to utf-8 if libxml fails to list them.
- Added an ability to join split videos. If you have split videos, Knots automatically plays them in a row. So there's no need to select individual vdr-recording files anymore.

So if anyone had problems getting Knots running before, please give it a shot again. And if anyone wants to help me with the translations, I'd really appreciate it. German, finnish, russian and english are ok, rest are missing some strings. And I don't have all the Maemo supported languages yet.

Special thanks to mtron and stangri for feature requests, testing and reporting problems.
