What is new
Per-timezone dummy EPG sources. A channel whose name positively claims a timezone other than the
configured default now gets a managed dummy EPG source dedicated to that zone, created on first use.
Before this, every managed channel shared one source, so a channel needing different guide times was
corrected and then reclaimed by the default source within hours, repeatedly. There is nothing to
configure and no new settings. The step runs at the end of the managed pass, moves a channel only
when its current EPG binding is safe to move, and leaves any channel that claims nothing exactly
where it is. Sources left with no channels are reaped.
24-hour guide titles for the SE channel-name format. With Channel Name Format set to SE,
the Upcoming at … and Ended at … titles now render times as 19:55 instead of 7:55 PM,
matching the 24-hour times those channel names already carry. US is unchanged and keeps 12-hour
AM/PM. Dispatcharr's dummy renderer offers both forms and never chooses between them, and setting a
display timezone converts the instant rather than the clock format, so the plugin has to pick.

The settings page no longer contacts GitHub while it loads. The version status line now reads a
cached result. Previously it called GitHub on every settings-page render with a five second timeout,
so the page could not load without internet access — and because the once-a-day limit was recorded
only after a successful check, a machine that could not reach GitHub retried on every single page
load rather than once a day. The check now runs when you click Validate Configuration, and
records failed attempts too, so it backs off properly either way.
