- remind-nostrip.patch removed, no longer needed - Version 3.4 Patch 2 - 2022-03-14 - NEW FEATURE: remind: Add syntactic sugar to simplify some common types of reminders. See "SYNTACTIC SUGAR FOR REM" in the remind man page. Based on suggestions from Ian! D. Allen. - CHANGE: examples/defs.rem: The examples file has been updated to use the newer syntactic sugar. - CHANGE: remind: Always parse the body of REM statements to catch expression errors. In the past, something like: REM 2025-01-02 MSG [1/0] would not cause a division-by-zero error except on 2025-01-02. Now, the error is always caught. NOTE POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: There may be edge-cases when formerly-valid remind scripts now trigger errors. However, this is pretty unlikely. - NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the "trig" function to allow more expressiveness when creating triggers. See man page for details. - IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: Tweak the calendar display; improve ability to customize colors, including supplying two built-in themes. Based on patch and suggestion from Paulo (last name unknown). - IMPROVEMENT: tkremind: TkRemind handles errors in reminders scripts much more unobtrusively. Instead of popping up a modal dialog box with almost-unreadable error output, it discreetly notifies you of errors with a button that lets you view the specific error messages in a more readable format. - IMPROVEMENT: examples/remind.vim: Update list of keywords in vim syntax highlighting file. - IMPROVEMENT: contrib/remind-conf-mode: Update the list of keywords, functions and variables in the Emacs syntax-highlighting file. Also make it match them case-insensitively. - CHANGE: remind: Increase $MaxSatIter default to 1000 instead of 150. Computers are much faster than when I first wrote remind and they can handle this higher limit easily. The higher limit also enables certain reasonable reminders that failed in the past because of the low SATISFY iteration limit. - CHANGE: remind: The "||" operator now returns the value of the first non-zero operand rather than just returning 1 or 0. Similarly, "&&" returns 0 if either operand is false or the value of the last operand if both operands are true. NOTE POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: Remind scripts that depend on || and && always returning exactly one of 1 or 0 may need adjustment. - CHANGE: The || and && operators can accept any non-STRING type as long as both operands have the same type. The "false" values are defined as follows; true values are any other value: INT: 0 TIME: 00:00 DATE: '1990-01-01' (the Remind epoch) DATETIME: '1990-01-01@00:00' (the Remind epoch) - IMPROVEMENT: remind: Issue diagnostics if an UNTIL or THROUGH date is earlier than any possible trigger date, as well as an UNTIL date with a fully-specified date and no repeat ("*N"). Suggestion from Ian! D. Allen. - BUG FIX: tkremind: If the same moon phase appeared twice in a month, TkRemind would not display the first occurrence correctly. This has been fixed. - BUG FIX: rem2pdf: Fix typos in the man page. - BUG FIX: remind: The IF command documentation didn't reflect how it actually worked; now it does. - BUG FIX: remind: Use correct UNTIL/THROUGH keyword in error message. - BUG FIX: rem2pdf: Correct the calculation that warns about an over-full calendar box. Problem noted by Jonathan Kamens. - BUG FIX: remind: The "remind -c" output would sometimes be incorrect if scripts with double-wide characters were used. This has been fixed. - BUG FIX: remind: The "remind -c" output would sometimes be incorrect if right-to-left scripts were used in reminders. This has been fixed. - VERSION 3.4 Patch 1 - 2022-02-23 - MINOR IMPROVEMENT: Support the INSTALL_BASE environment variable for installing rem2pdf in a non-standard location like your home directory. This is passed in to rem2pdf's Makefile at build and install time. - MINOR IMPROVEMENT: ./configure: Add --disable-perl-build-artifacts flag to avoid installation of perllocal.pod and .packlist files. - BUG FIX: tkremind: If the system date rolls over, update the display to correctly highlight the current date. This worked in older versions of Remind, but was broken by 03.04.00. - BUG FIX: rem2pdf: The small calendar font would sometimes be scaled incorrectly so the small calendar overflowed the box. This has been fixed. - VERSION 3.4 Patch 0 - 2022-02-10 - MAJOR CHANGE: Remind and its helpers (except for rem2ps) fully support UTF-8. If your system locale is a UTF-8 locale and your terminal can handle UTF-8 encoding, you can enjoy full Unicode support in Remind. - NEW FEATURE: Added a rem2pdf Remind-to-PDF converter. It can handle the full UTF-8 character set and features a new PANGO special reminder type that lets you format the text in the PDF calendar (by changing the font size, color, underlining, etc.) - NEW FEATURE: remind: New system variables $Sunday through $Saturday and $January through $December let you set weekday and month names to whatever you like, permitting you to produce calendars in your local language, even if it's not one of the languages Remind supports by default. - NEW FEATURE: tkremind: If rem2pdf installed, TkRemind offers you the choice of PDF or PostScript output in the Print dialog. - CHANGE: remind: Increase the number of allowed "full OMITs" from 500 to 1000. - CHANGE: Remove the annoying code that slowed compilation and running on Windows and Mac OS X. I believe the point has been made and free OSes have enough of a critical mass that the annoyances are counter-productive. - CLEANUP: remind: C source code: Replace the LAT_DEG, LAT_MIN, LAT_SEC and LON_DEG, LON_MIN, LON_SEC macros with DEFAULT_LATITUDE and DEFAULT_LONGITUDE. - CLEANUP: remind: C source code: Remove various unused or obsolete macros. - BUG FIXES: Minor fixups to groff source and Makefiles courtesy of Jochen Sprickerhof. - BUG FIX: Properly support formatting of double-wide characters in the terminal mode "remind -c" calendar. - BUG FIX: rem2html: Document how to highlight today with a red border - BUG FIX: rem2html: Generate and install a man page for rem2html - BUG FIX: remind: Get rid of LAT_DEG/LAT_MIN/LAT_SEC and LON_DEG/LON_MIN/LON_SEC macros in favour of DEFAULT_LATITUDE and DEFAULT_LONGITUDE. - IMPROVEMENT: All localized languages now use UTF-8 exclusively. Support for old character encodings like ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-2 has been dropped since modern UNIXes have pretty much standardized on UTF-8. - CHANGE: remind: Non-English versions of remind *no longer* accept non-English month- and weekday-names in trigger specifications. This was a misfeature. NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY.
