CHANGES TO REMIND

* Version 3.1 Patch 5 - 2008-04-15

- MAJOR ENHANCEMENT: If you supply a directory name on the command line
  or for an INCLUDE command, then Remind reads all *.rem file in that
  directory (in the order returned by "glob")

- ENHANCEMENT: The plain-text calendar ("-c") can draw lines using VT-100
  line-drawing characters if invoked as "-cl"

- ENHANCEMENT: The plain-text calendar can approximate SPECIAL COLOR reminders
  using VT-100 color escape sequences if invoked as "-cc".  (You can combine
  the colors and line-drawing characters with -clc or -ccl.)

- ENHANCEMENT: The "-t" option can take a numeric argument n.  In this case,
  all reminders are assumed to have a delta of +n.  (Without the argument,
  an infinite delta is assumed, as before.)  If a numeric argument is given,
  the new system variable $DeltaOffset is set to the argument.

- MINOR ENHANCEMENT: The "-i" command-line option can be used to define
  a function as well as set a variable.

- MINOR ENHANCEMENT: String constants can have embedded quotes "Like \"this"

- MINOR ENHANCEMENT: tkremind works better on small screens like that of
  the Eee-PC.

- BUG FIX: Minor fix to HTML output courtesy of Ian! Allen.

- BUG FIX: Parse error in calendar mode was fixed.

* Version 3.1 Patch 4 - 2008-02-03

- ENHANCMENT: tkremind respects the "-b1" option and operates in 24-hour
  clock mode if the option is supplied.

- ENHANCEMENT: tkremind has been tweaked to look better with Tcl/Tk 8.5.

- CLEANUP: Version is kept only in configure.in instead of two different
  places.

- CLEANUP: Added "const" qualifier to many places in the code that previously
  lacked it.

- BUG FIX: A rare parsing error involving interaction between SATISFY and
  SKIP has been fixed.

- BUG FIX: rem2html would output a horribly-wrong calendar for a 28-day
  February starting on Sunday (such as February 2009.)  This has been fixed.

- BUG FIX: The "-ivar=value" command-line option failed if Remind re-execed
  itself because we overwrote argv[].  This has been fixed.

* Version 3.1 Patch 3 - 2007-10-15

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- rem2html now uses CSS for a much better-looking calendar.
  NOTE: rem2html was completely rewritten and some of the command-line
  options have changed!

- If a reminder has a DURATION clause, then the starting and ending times
  are output in calendar mode.

+ BUG FIXES

- DST rules in "defs.rem" were updated to reflect new US/Canadian DST rules.

- If a REM command cannot compute a trigger date, the SATISFY expression
  is not evaluated.  This helps avoid spurious error messages in some
  reminders.

* Version 3.1 Patch 2 - 2007-09-12

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- build.tk tries to set defaults for location, paper size, etc from an
  existing "remind" installation if it detects one.

- In queue mode, wake up once a minute and recalibrate sleep time.
  This should make Remind work better on laptops that suspend or
  hibernate.  Note that "remind -q" does *not* handle date-rollover
  well; it simply exits if it notices date rollover.  "remind -z0"
  (as used by tkremind) handles date rollover properly; it rereads the
  reminder file and rebuilds the queue if it notices date rollover.

- tkremind: Added some key bindings to make navigation easier.

- tkremind: Made calendar boxes use space more efficiently.

- remind: The functionality of "rem" is now built into remind.  If you
  invoke remind as "rem", then it uses a default filename.  The installer
  sets up "rem" as a symbolic link to "remind".

+ CHANGE

- "remind -p" no longer sorts SPECIAL reminders before non-SPECIAL.

  *** THIS MAY AFFECT BACKENDS ***

  Backends supplied by Roaring Penguin (rem2ps, rem2html and tkremind)
  are known to work properly.

- "remind -p" no longer suppresses any AT-time associated with SPECIAL
  reminders.

  *** THIS MAY AFFECT BACKENDS ***

  Backends supplied by Roaring Penguin (rem2ps, rem2html and tkremind)
  are known to work properly.

+ BUG FIXES

- examples/defs.rem: A few corrections to Jewish holidays courtesy of
  Art Werschulz.

- src/Makefile.in: Added install-nostripped target.

- SPECIAL COLOR now works more like MSG, including proper support for AT and
  for the %" %" escape sequence.

- SPECIAL COLOR is queued correctly if it has an AT clause.

- Using the psshade() or psmoon() functions emits a warning on stderr.  You
  should use SPECIAL SHADE or SPECIAL MOON instead.

* Version 3.1 Patch 1 - 2007-08-23

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added the "nonomitted" function that solves a number of
  moving-reminder-in-response-to-holiday problems.  The real-world
  problems solved are the "moving-garbage-day" problem and the
  "six-day-school-cycle" problem.

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- A few minor performance improvements in response to profiling runs.

+ BUG FIXES

- Prevent compilation failure with gcc 2.95.

- Fix trailing "s" bug with -k option.  This was fixed in Debian's release,
  but the Debian maintainer never bothered to let me know.

- Removed obsolete scripts: kall, rem, remind-all.sh, remind-all.csh

- Made "-n" output always use "/" as date separator for consistency with
  "-p" and "-s".

- Moon PNG images are transparent.  Output of moon phases in rem2html
  improved slightly.

- Various man-page fixes.

* Version 3.1 Patch 0 - 2007-07-14

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added the FROM clause.  This lets you write reminders like:

  REM Mon FROM 16 July 2007 UNTIL 13 Aug 2007 MSG Some Mondays...

- Remind now has a new datatype: A DATETIME object represents a date AND
  a time (to the nearest minute).  DATETIME constants are written
  as '2007-09-01@14:33'.  Various operators and functions have been
  modified to do sensible things with DATETIMEs and several new DATETIME
  functions have been added.

- The SPECIAL COLOR reminder type has been hacked to behave more like
  a MSG type.  It sorts properly and is emitted as a normal reminder
  in non-calendar mode.  Simlarly, SPECIAL HTML sorts with -g as well.

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- TkRemind can e-mail you reminders if you don't dismiss the popup window
  after one minute.  This is useful if you need to leave your workstation
  but want reminders to "follow" you via e-mail.

- A new "-y" option to Remind generates tags for all reminders that lack
  a TAG clause.  This may be useful for conversion tools that want each
  reminder to have a unique identifier.

- A new "tzconvert" function lets you convert datetimes between different
  time zones.  It's only as good as your C library, so test thoroughly
  please!  Based on a patch from Stefan Wehr.

- TkRemind sorts reminders by invoking Remind with the '-g' option.

- The time and date separator characters can be changed at runtime by
  setting $TimeSep and $DateSep respectively.

- The simple calendar ('-s') option can be immediately followed by an 'a'.
  This causes Remind to output reminders with deltas before the actual
  trigger date.  Based loosely on an idea from Frank Terbeck.

+ MINOR CHANGES

- Default date separator is now '-' instead of '/'

- trigdate() and trigtime() behave differently - they return the integer 0
  if the last reminder could not be computed or did not have an AT clause
  (respectively).

- Maximum length of variable names has been increased from 12 to 16 characters.

+ BUG FIXES

- Fixed a potential memory leak in queue.c

- Fixed compile error on Mac OS X.

- Fixed behaviour of "-sa" option so deltas correctly obey omitted days
  and the scheduling function (if one is used).

- rem2ps would produce invalid PostScript in some rare cases
  (eg, for February 2007).  This has been fixed.
