See below for whats New, Fixed & Features


Flashing general:
- When you press the Arrow UP during booting, a FlashErase will follow, as everybody knows from the DM7000.
When you install a newer image, the backup function is still executed.
Do only a flasherase without backup when you request it explicitly!


=== IMPORTANT Flashing DM500 Howto ===
When you upgrade from a DM500 MaxVAR image (modified partition layout) to a PLi Garnet DM500 (standard partition layout)
You NEED to flash your box with a serial cable to do the upgrade
Flashing with root.cramfs or with FlashWizard will fail!

The reason is the smaller filesize of the MaxVar root partition:

o DreamBOX jffs2 on a DM500 MaxVAR: 0x00600000-0x007c0000
o DreamBOX jffs2 on a DM500 Standard: 0x00500000-0x007c0000

A MaxVAR image uses a smaller root partition then a standard image, that's why /VAR is bigger. So if you want to flash a standard image into the running MaxVAR image it won't fit in the smaller partition! To get rid of this MaxVAR sized partition you need to flash it with a serial (RS-232) cable.


TV-System Wizard:
- Replaced by A/V System Settings screen
o This allows setup of your tv-system AND colorformat etc... right after Flashing
o Allow TuxTXT/MultiEPG position setting from wizard. When switching between PAL/NTCS, default position settings are stored
- Show position and size in TuxTXT/MultiEPG position screen

- The "Blue button" adds a switch event, when you are in one of the EPG viewers (just like in DM70x0)
