1.-- File Descriptions ------- --- -- - - -

newcs.ppc -> NewCS binary for dreambox, tripledragon and other powerpc machines.
newcs.x86 -> 32bit NewCS binary for linux on Intel compatible machines.
newcs.xml -> The configfile that NewCS reads, should be placed in /var/tuxbox/config.
readme.txt -> This file you smartass


2.-- Runtime Arguments ------- --- -- - - -

NewCS can be run with some arguments when you start it, here are some of them explained:

-c configfile, here you can specify the path to a configfile.
-h help, will show something similar to this.
-v version, this will show when the binary is compiled and which version it is.
example:
/var/newcs -c /etc/newcs-usb.xml (you give full path to configfile)

3.-- Configfile ------- --- -- - - -

Remeber to always close the tags, there is a beginner tag "<tag>" and a end tag "</tag>", if the tag start
with a "<!-" and ends with a "->" it is a comment. More info about xml you will find on google..

Look in the configfile for explanations on what the different sections are.
Configfile isnt case-sensitive and shouldnt care about dos/unix crlf differences.



Q: So, which cards are supported?
A: well.. good question (since i asked it myself it must be faboulous :p)
At this moment the following cards are supported:
*- Conax (ecm&emm) *- Seca (ecm&emm)
*- Irdeto (ecm&emm) *- Cryptoworks (ecm&ecm w/mosc)
*- Betacrypt (ecm&emm) *- Viaccess (ecm&emm)
*- Dreamcrypt (ecm&emm) *- Videoguard (ecm&emm)
*- Nagravision (init not done yet)
(all needs to be tested ofc, we dont have the opportunity to do extensive tests).

Pls read the readme file included
6.-- Changelog ------- --- -- - - -

v.1.02 -Public Beta:
Fixed Skyitaly ATR (seems they have two different ones, one has same starting bytes as nagra :O)
Fixed Digital ALB unknown nano.
Added missing Dbox-type in commented config.

NB!! We have recieved info that Newcamd Cardspider has additional checks for NDS cards, it seems that
the cards are added to the spider as normal, but the cw's wont reach the other peers (it works locally)..
In general newcamd dont support 1 single cw, so to have it 100% stable use mgcamd or evocamd.

v.1.03 -Public Beta:
Fixed Viaccess-init in dbox.
Fixed Seca-init.
Made carddetect faster.
Removed SID checking on irdeto/beta.

NB!!
Disable carddetect on dbox, it doesnt work.. none of us in the dev-team has access to one, so we
program in blind. If anyone got info on how to do carddetect on Dbox, please point us in the right
direction by posting it on boards or something like that.

v.1.04 -Public Beta:
Fixed Viaccess on Dbox...again :-( (tested on 6Mhz multicam)
Added option to allow users to only access specified card. (look for changes in configs)
Added option to specify port for each card. (look for changes in configs,please remove any port in newcamd section for now!!!!)
Fixed segfault when some options(thats not needed on these) was missing for sci/dragon.
Changed alot of debug levels.
Fix baudrate for YES cards.(No Idea if it works..we dont have such cards)
Added logging of tcp-commands.
New tcp-command: uptime.
Newcamd server close connection if user is unknown.
Fixed rare login problems.

v.1.05 -Public Beta:
Added Conformance logic 1.1 (this fixes the spider issues).
Improved Sci-handling.
Improved timeing.
Dbox2 fixed nds in slot for 3.5 and 6mhz.
Crosscompiled for OpenWRT routers (mips). (absolutely no idea if it will ever work though :o))
Fixed rdgd server.
Fixed NDS Skyitaly in phoenix. (we hope)
Lots of bugfixes..

v.1.06 -Public Beta:
Fixed NDS EMM with Newcamd (we hope - if not, use mgcamd/evocamd).
Added ECM Queue, low-id users' ECM gets through first.
Added EMM cache to dont stress the card with Identical emms. (suggest high EMM cache for this to work good)
Fixed VR3 UPC in conax mode.
Fixed some cosmetic logviewing in telnet ++.
Crosscompiled for NSLU2 (yet again, we do NOT know if this will ever work).
Other misc. fixes.
Added new commands: cache & version.
Added D2MAC support.

NB!!
IF you want to report a bug, PLEASE include some log samples and config file.. we're not mindreaders
PLEASE READ Special Notes


v.1.08 -Release Candidate 2:
Fixed serious bug in newcamd server.
Optimized speed on some CAS.
Optimized speed in INIT of Cryptoworks and Viaccess.
Changed debug print of client detection, some confusion around unknown clients, they are now Generic clients.
