CHANGES TO REMIND

* Version 3.2 Patch 0 - 2020-01-03

- IMPROVEMENT: Add support for events spanning multiple days (with AT
  and DURATION).  Add trigeventstart() and trigeventduration()
  introspection functions; see "MULTI-DAY EVENTS" in the man page.

- IMPROVEMENT: Add introspection functions trigback(), trigdelta(),
  trigduration(), trigfrom(), trigpriority(), trigrep(),
  trigscanfrom(), trigtimedelta(), trigtimerep(), and triguntil().  See
  man page for details; thanks to Tim Chase for the suggestion.

- IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: Use PNG images for the next month / previous
  month buttons rather than -> and <-.  Also use nice anti-aliased
  moon phase images instead of ugly blocky bitmaps.

- CHANGE: Modify addition so that previously-illegal combinations
  TIME + TIME, TIME + DATETIME and DATETIME + TIME are now allowed.
  Also allow DATETIME - TIME.  If t1 and t2 are expressions of type TIME
  and dt is an expression of type DATETIME, then the following are now
  equivalent (before, the expressions on the left-hand side would fail
  with a "Type mismatch" error.)

  t1 + t2     ==     t1                + coerce("INT", t2)
  dt + t2     ==     dt                + coerce("INT", t2)
  t1 + dt     ==     coerce("INT", t1) + dt
  dt - t2     ==     dt                - coerce("INT", t2)

- DOC FIX: Document previously-undocumented $MaxStringLen system variable

- DOC FIX: Various minor documentation fixes.

- BUG FIX: Specifying a DURATION without an AT clause results in an error.
  Before, it would be accepted but not do anything useful.

- BUG FIX: Catch potential date overflow in slide() function

- BUG FIX: Fix compile error when compiling Romanian version; eliminate
  compiler warning when compiling non-English versions.

- BUG FIX: TkRemind: Fix startup failure of TkRemind if options are at
  default. :(

* Version 3.1 Patch 17 - 2019-11-15

- IMPROVEMENT: Add "Extra Remind Options" setting to TkRemind.

- IMPROVEMENT: Enable warning-free compilation even with gcc -Wextra flag.

- IMPROVEMENT: Warn if "OMIT a THROUGH b" has a > b.

- SYNTACTIC SUGAR: Make "SCANFROM -n" the same as "SCANFROM [today() - n]"

- BUG FIX: Don't dump expired reminders when dumping queue.

- BUG FIX: Fix failure when specifying a Jahrzeit in Adar.  Fix
  courtesy of Dov Feldstern

- BUG FIX: Fix various documentation errors and update man page.

* Version 3.1 Patch 16 - 2018-11-09

- IMPROVEMENT: Add patch from Stephen Morgan to calculate astronomical and
  nautical twilight in addition to civil twilight.

- BUG FIX: The rem2html script correctly handles a SHADE special with only
  one number (a grey level).

- IMPROVEMENT: Remind accepts DATETIME constants in ISO-8601 format and can
  optionally be configured to output them that way too.

- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind puts its hostname in the window title bar.

- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind restarts the background remind daemon if
  the .reminders file changes

- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind has a "Queue" button that lets you see details
  of upcoming queued reminders.  This is mostly for debugging and the output
  is not particularly readable.

- BUG FIX: The definitions form Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut were not
  quite right; they have been fixed.

- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind centers popups over the main calendar
  window rather than over the desktop background.  This is better
  behavior in multi-monitor setups.

- BUG FIX: In "remind -z0" mode, remind wakes up exactly on the minute instead
  of sleeping for 60 seconds each time, which could cause it to fall behind.

* Version 3.1 Patch 15 - 2015-07-27

- BUG FIX: Fix a buffer overflow found by Alexander Keller

- BUG FIX: Fix a typo in this file: was 2014 instead of 2015.

- BUG FIX: Make parser reject an AT followed by more than one time.

- BUG FIX: Make parser reject epeated delta or *repeat values.

* Version 3.1 Patch 14 - 2015-04-24

- NEW FEATURE: Putting the line __EOF__ in a .rem file causes Remind
  to treat it as end-of-file.

- IMPROVEMENT: Use better PNG images for moons in the HTML display

- CHANGE: Author name updated from "David" to "Dianne"

- BUG FIX: The "-n" command-line option should really run in "ADVANCE_MODE"
  rather than "CAL_MODE" internally; otherwise, the substitution sequences
  may be misinterpreted.

- BUG FIX: A typo in clearing out MD5 sum context has been fixed.

- BUG FIX: Typo in Spanish translation was fixed.

* Version 3.1 Patch 13 - 2013-03-22

- BUG FIX: Sunrise/Sunset calculations greatly improved thanks to John
  McGowan.  Accuracy should now be within a couple of minutes in most
  places.

- BUG FIX: Allow specification of margins as low as 0 points in rem2ps,
  courtesy of Jonathan Kamens.

- BUG FIX: Permit compilation with gcc 2.95 (which doesn't allow variable
  declarations after non-declaration statements in a block.)

- BUG FIX: Several minor documentation errors corrected courtesy of
  Simon Ruderich.

- BUG FIX: Spurious test harness failure was fixed.

* Version 3.1 Patch 12 - 2012-01-23

- NEW FEATURE: Many substitution sequences "%x" have an alternate mode
  denoted by "%*x".  This alternate mode leaves out prepositions.  For
  example, in English "%i" might yield "on 01-25" while "%*i" yields only
  "01-25".

- BUG FIX: The "dusk" and "dawn" calculations were completely wrong.  They
  have been fixed.  Also, sunrise/sunset calculations have been tweaked,
  so the results may be off by a minute or two compared to previous versions
  of Remind.

* Version 3.1 Patch 11 - 2011-12-16

- BUG FIX: For some inexplicable reason, dawn was considered to happen when
  the sun was 14 degrees below the horizon instead of the standard 6
  degrees for Civil Dawn.  This has been fixed.

- BUG FIXES: Clarified the man pages and fixed some typos.

- BUG FIX: Add THROUGH to the remind.vim syntax highlighting file.

- ENHANCEMENT (?): Allow SPECIAL COLOR to be spelled SPECIAL COLOUR.

- BUG FIX: Apply minor Debian cleanups reported by Kurt B. Kaiser.

* Version 3.1 Patch 10 - 2010-11-01

- NOTE: This is the 20th anniversary of Remind's first public release.

- ENHANCEMENT: Add the THROUGH keyword.  You can omit blocks of dates with:

  OMIT start THROUGH end

  and the syntax REM start THROUGH end is equivalent to REM start *1 UNTIL end

- ENHANCEMENT: Add support for multibyte characters (eg, UTF-8) in calendar
  output.  Note that UTF-8 strings are still not supported in PostScript
  output.

- ENHANCEMENT: Add support for UTF-8 line-drawing characters in calendar
  output.

- ENHANCEMENT: You can have multiple TAG clauses in a REM statement.

- BUG FIX: Avoid spawning long-running background processes in "make test".

- BUG FIX: Don't declare variables in the middle of statements (old C
  compilers choke.)

* Version 3.1 Patch 9 - 2010-06-20

- MAJOR ENHANCEMENT: New "purge mode" to delete expired reminders.  See
  the PURGE MODE section of the remind man page.

- ENHANCEMENT: Support DURATION in TkRemind.  Thanks to Marek Marczykowski.

- BUG FIX: Don't change the order of PS and PSFILE reminders.  Bug found
  by John McGowan.

- BUG FIX: "REM 1990-01-01 SATISFY 1" would yield a spurious parse error
  in earlier versions of Remind.

- BUG FIX: Yom HaShoah is moved to Thursday if it would normally fall on
  a Friday.  Thanks to Jonathan Kamens for pointing this out.

* Version 3.1 Patch 8 - 2010-03-09

- ENHANCEMENT: Include some useful scripts in contrib/

- ENHANCEMENT: Add the $T, $Td, $Tm, $Tw, $Ty, $U, $Ud, $Um, $Uw, $Uy
  special variables to make reminder files less wordy.  See man page
  for details.

- MINOR ENHANCEMENT: Set an icon photo window manager resource on TkRemind.

- POLICY CHANGE: Discourage use of Remind on MS Windows or Apple Mac OS X.

- BUG FIX: Ignore msgprefix() and msgsuffix() on RUN-type reminders.

- BUG FIX: Adjust Remind and Rem2PS so that SHADE specials don't obliterate
  earlier MOON specials.

- BUG FIX: Fix bug in SCHED calculations if Remind is started in the middle
  of a SCHED interval.

* Version 3.1 Patch 7 - 2009-05-31

- ENHANCEMENT: Wherever you could write "day Mon year", the parser now
  accepts "YYYY-MM-DD".  This applies on the command-line and to the
  REM and OMIT keywords.  You can avoid wrapping date calculations in
  the trigger() function in many cases.

- ENHANCEMENT: New slide() built-in function eases some complicated reminders.

* Version 3.1 Patch 6 - 2008-11-16

- MAJOR ENHANCEMENT: A new OMITFUNC clause gives you additional
  control and flexibility over "omitted days" calculations.  This is
  useful when holidays influence the timing of events several days
  later.  See "COMPUTED LOCAL OMITS" in the man page.

- ENHANCEMENT: The new evaltrig() built-in function lets you evaluate triggers
  from within an expression.

- ENHANCEMENT: The new weekno() built-in function returns the ISO 8601
  week number of a date.

- ENHANCEMENT: The "WEEK" special lets you annotate calendar output with the
  week number.  The TkRemind, rem2ps and rem2html back-ends support WEEK.

- MINOR ENHANCEMENT: You can control whether timed reminders come before or
  after non-timed reminders with the "-g" flag.

- BUG FIX: TkRemind did not work correctly if ~/.reminders was a directory.

- BUG FIX: TkRemind incorrectly invoked Remind with the "-a" flag when
  showing today's reminders.

- BUG FIX: In certain cases, a trigger containing a day, month and
  weekday would fail if it needed to cross a year boundary.  This has
  been fixed.

* 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 with Remind (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 with Remind (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.

* Version 3.0 Patch 24 - 2005-11-19

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Permit the DURATION of a reminder to be as high as you like.  Previously,
  DURATIONs could be at most 23:59.  Fix courtesy of Paul Pelzl.

- The "-n" flag can be usefully combined with "-s", "-p" and "-l" now.
  Fix courtesy of Paul Pelzl.

+ BUG FIXES

- The "-k" command escapes all characters except those known to be
  safe, rather than attempting to escape only characters thought to be
  unsafe.

- Removed the crufty code that supported non-ANSI C compilers.

- Removed all support for non-UNIX/non-Linux systems.

- Fixed a bug in the tokenizer that could make Remind segfault.  Fix courtesy
  of Stan Tobias.

* Version 3.0 Patch 23 - 2005-04-14

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added the COLOR special for putting colored reminders in the calendar.
  Supported by the HTML, Tcl/Tk and PostScript back-ends.

- Many minor tweaks to tkremind.

- Added ability to specify paper size in inches or centimetres to rem2ps.

- Added the "-l" option to Remind.  This outputs additional information
  for back-end programs that use the "-p" output format.  Currently
  used only by the "tkremind" back-end.

- Fixed dates for Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut if 5 Iyar falls on a
  Saturday.  (Hebrew calendar fix.)

- Added support for the Icelandic language, courtesy of Björn Davíðsson.

+ BUG FIXES

- Fixed parser error for unterminated date constant: '2005/01/01

* Version 3.0 Patch 22 - 2000-06-16

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added option to have TkRemind display all of today's reminders in a text
  box on startup.  This option is on by default.

- Makefile in "www" directory allows you to add ".cgi" suffix to CGI scripts.

- Added option to completely delete a reminder from the reminder file in
  the timed reminder popup dialog.

- Clarified build instructions.

+ BUG FIXES

- Fixed packing order in TkRemind so resizing window doesn't make control
  buttons disappear.

- Fixed serious bug in which background queued reminders were ignored and
  Remind simply exited.  Doh!  Sorry about that.

* Version 3.0 Patch 21 - 2000-03-15

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Updated copyright years and contact info.

- Changed GIF images to PNG to avoid patent problems.

- Added "cm2trem.tcl" to convert from CDE's "cm" calendar manager to Remind
  format.  It handles only an older version of "cm" data; there is a utility
  available (under Solaris anyway) to convert newer files to the older "cm"
  format.

- Fixed the scripts in the "www" directory to install and work properly.

- Added "remind.vim" file for Vim syntax highlighting of Remind files,
  thanks to Davide Alberani.

- Added "dusk" and "dawn" built-in functions, thanks to Ron Aaron.

+ BUG FIXES

- Files for no-longer-supported platforms (OS/2, amiga, MS-DOS) have been
  moved to OBSOLETE subdirectory.  They will disappear unless someone
  wants to maintain them.

- Fixed typo which caused compilation failure on compilers without function
  prototypes.  Thanks to Ian Darwin for the patch.

- Fixed compilation problem on FreeBSD, IRIX, Tru64 and other UNIXes.

* Version 3.0 Patch 20 - 1999-04-12

+ LICENSE CHANGE

- Remind is now distributed under the pure GPL.  See the file WINDOWS for my
  feelings about a Windows port, however.

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Made TkRemind adjust for really low-resolution displays if necessary.

- Added more print options to TkRemind, courtesy of Niels Kristian Bech Jensen.

- Added Spanish language support, courtesy of Rafa Couto.

+ BUG FIXES

- Rem2PS was passing specials like HTML, etc. in PostScript output.
  YECH!  Fix courtesty of Derek J. Decker.

- Fixed a typo in danish.h, courtesy of  Niels Kristian Bech Jensen.

* Version 3.0 Patch 19 - 1998-05-09

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added MOON and SHADE specials.  These now work with PostScript,
  HTML and Tcl/Tk front-ends.  You can have cute moons and shaded
  boxes on your printer, on your screen and in your web browser. :-)

- TkRemind overhauled -- you can now edit and delete reminders from
  the GUI.  You can actually reasonably use Remind without learning
  the scripting language.

- TkRemind overhauled -- "server mode" added to Remind; TkRemind will
  now pop up timed reminders.

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Updated romanian.h, courtesy Liviu Daia.

+ BUG FIXES

- Allowed object files to be built in different directory from
  source files (thanks to Jonathan Kamens <jik@American.COM>

- Removed restriction against reading group-writable files.  This
  caused headaches on Red Hat Linux which uses an unusual user/group
  scheme.

- Remind would not compile if a non-English language was selected.

- Fixed free() of a NULL pointer.

- Made tkremind display a helpful error message if Remind's
  "security feature" of not reading a group-writable file kicks
  in.

- Fixed bug which sometimes prevented reminder times from appearing
  in a calendar display.

- Lots more silly little bugs squashed -- too many to go into in
  detail.

* Version 3.0 Patch 18 - 1998-02-15

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added the script "build.tk" which makes it trivial to compile
  and install Remind under UNIX -- no need to edit Makefiles or
  header files.  A nice GUI installation dialog!

- Got rid of all fixed-size buffers.  Hurray!  Everything is dynamic --
  no built-in limits on line length, token size, etc.  This should
  cure lots of SEGV's for weird files.

- Added TAG and DURATION clauses for communicating more information to
  back-ends and eventually converting REMIND into a full-fledged
  scheduler.

- Completely reworked the PS/PSFILE mechanism to use the more
  general SPECIAL mechanism for customizing output in REMIND back-ends.

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Made parser _very_ forgiving -- the type of reminder now defaults
  to MSG.  This lets you have lines in the reminder file like this:

	Feb 9, 1998 Meeting with Joe.

  But I don't recommend abusing it.  It's mostly to ease migration from
  UNIX calendar(1) files.

- Documented the "remind -p" format.

- Made Remind communicate day and month names to back-ends so they
  can automatically take on the language Remind was compiled with.

- Directory structure totally reorganized.  Remind now uses an autoconf
  "configure" script which should make life very pleasant for UNIX
  people.

- Made Rem2HTML work properly if more than one month's worth of calendar
  data was produced.  Rem2HTML also escapes any special HTML characters.
  However, it recognizes a "SPECIAL HTML" type of reminder which lets
  you put arbitrary HTML code in your calendar entries.  See www/rem2html
  for details.

- Added the "-a" option to Rem2HTML to complement the "-p" option.  Also
  made Rem2HTML print a usage message if input is coming from a terminal.

+ BUG FIXES

- Fixed sunset(), sunrise() and minsfromutc() functions which were broken
  by 3.0.17.  (In 3.0.17, they did not account for daylight saving time.)

- Updated "finnish.h" to include proper URL and translation of all
  error messages.

+ BUG INTRODUCTIONS

- The reorganization and use of "configure" probably breaks Remind
  installation on non-UNIX platforms.  Sorry.  I can't fix it until
  I hear back from non-UNIX maintainers.

- Getting rid of fixed-sized buffers meant lots of changes to code.
  No doubt, I missed a few regression tests.

* Version 3.0 Patch 17 - 1997-09-07

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Made REMIND accept date specs like "Jan 6, 1998" -- the comma is
  ignored.  This was suggested by John Conover <john@johncon.johncon.com>.
  You can even do "REM 27, Aug, 1998, msg bar".  (But I don't know why
  you'd want to.)

- Added www/rem2html, a Perl script which converts the output of
  `remind -p ...' to an HTML table.  The script was contributed by
  Don Schwarz <darkowl@mcs.net>

- New security features: Because of the risks of statically-allocated
  buffers, REMIND now refuses to run if it is installed set-uid or set-gid.
  If REMIND is run as root, it refuses to read files not owned by root.
  It also won't open group- or world-writable files, no matter who is
  running it.  Finally, if you read a file you don't own, REMIND disables
  RUN and shell().  REMIND doesn't do these security checks on stdin,
  though, so be careful if you run it as root in a script.

  NOTE:  REMIND doesn't do the world- and group-writable checks
  on devices, FIFOs, etc.  Otherwise "remind /dev/null" fails...

+ BUG FIXES

- Increased sizes of some statically-allocated buffers.  This doesn't
  really fix the problem, but makes it more manageable.

- Using the "-u" option now implies the "-r" option.  This is a
  security feature.

- Added romanian.h to the manifest.  Sorry.

- CalcMinsFromUTC was failing if time_t was unsigned.  I now use
  difftime(), but not all systems have it.  Also, defs.rem was rearranged
  so PostScript stuff works better, and new target "emxomf" was added to
  makefile.os2 which uses OMF linking and a dynamically-linked C
  library.  All three of these fixes are courtesy of Christopher
  J. Madsen <madsen@iglobal.net>.  Thanks, Christopher.

* Version 3.0 Patch 16 - 1997-02-11

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Bundled scripts for making a nice WWW calendar server.  See the
  "www" subdirectory in the release.

- Added support for the Romanian language, courtesy of Liviu Daia.

- Changed sunrise() and sunset() as follows:  If the sun never rises,
  sunrise() returns 1440 and sunset() returns 0.  In this case,
  sunrise()-sunset() returns the length of the dark period of the
  day, in minutes.  If the sun never sets, sunrise() returns 0 and
  sunset() returns 1440, and sunset()-sunrise() returns the length
  of the light period of the day, in minutes.  Thanks to Michael Salmon
  for explaining the utility of this.  See the file "defs.rem" for the
  functions _light_len and _dark_len which return the length in minutes
  of the light and dark period of the day, respectively.

+ BUG FIXES

- If you used the "-g" option, then no background reminders were
  ever issued.  DOH!  Thanks to Greg Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
  for pointing this out.

- Fixed a problem under Solaris 2.5 whereby rem2ps was skipping some
  latin1 characters which it interpreted as white space.

* Version 3.0 Patch 15 - 1996-10-27

+ IMPORTANT NOTES

- The tar file now unpacks into a Remind subdirectory rather than into
  the current working directory.

- I no longer support Remind under DOS.  I don't think I've done anything
  to stop it from working under DOS, but will no longer compile and test
  it under DOS, and can't help you if you get stuck.  Sorry -- I no longer
  have a DOS machine.

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Changed psshade() to accept 1 or 3 arguments for colored shading in
  PostScript calendar mode.

- Added a Print dialog to tkremind.

- Added support for Brazilian Portuguese courtesy of Marco Paganini

- Added support for Italian courtesy of Valerio Aimale

+ BUG FIXES

- Fixed confusing error in rem2ps help messages.

- Fixed bug in TkRemind which caused a crash if the "-m" option was used
  for a month beginning on Sunday.  Doh!!!

* Version 3.0 Patch 14 - 1996-05-25

+ CHANGE IN COPYING POLICY

- Remind is now distributed under an _AMENDED_ version of the Gnu
  General Public License.  These amendments are listed in the
  file COPYRIGHT.  The amendments were made for personal reasons;
  please don't ask me to explain them.  They probably don't affect
  you, anyway.

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added an X-Windows front-end to Remind.  To use it, you must be
  running under X-Windows on UNIX, and have the "wish" tcl/tk
  interpreter, version 7.4 of tcl and 4.0 of tk.  The front-end is
  called "tkremind".

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added the WARN keyword for precise advance notice.  You can now
  have advance warning 5, 3, 1 and 0 days in advance (for example.)
  The WARN keyword operates similarly to the SCHED keyword in that it
  calls a user-defined function to obtain the advance warning sequence.

- Added support for QDOS/SMSQ on the Sinclair QL microcomputer,
  courtesy of Robert H. Klein <kleir000@goofy.zdv.Uni-Mainz.de>
  NOTE THAT I CANNOT TEST NOR SUPPORT THIS VERSION!

- Added support for AmigaDOS / SAS/C, courtesy of Martin Hohl
  <martinh@caverna.tynet.sub.org>.  As before, I CANNOT TEST NOR
  SUPPORT THIS VERSION, but will rely on feedback from others.

+ BUG FIXES

- Removed the "-n" option from Rem2PS.  Instead, if you want the
  PostScript calendar to start on a Monday, supply the "-m" option
  to Remind.  It was repugnant to have two options to two programs
  to accomplish one thing.

- The "hebdate" built-in function worked incorrectly with 5 arguments.
  The bug was pointed out by Hershel Safer <h.safer@ieee.org>

- This would hang up REMIND:   REM Mon 31 Feb MSG Foo
  and this would fail quietly: REM Mon 31 Feb 1996 MSG Foo
  Both have been fixed and now report bad date specifications.

- Remind now compiles without complaint under gcc -ansi -Wall -pedantic
  (on my Linux system, anyway!)

+ IMPORTANT NOTE

- I had problems building the DOS version with Turbo C.  I have access
  only to ancient versions of Turbo C and Microsoft C.  Remind built
  fine with Microsoft C, but the TC version hung up.  I am not too
  interested in maintaining the DOS version, so when the MSC compiler
  no longer works, I will drop DOS support.  Please not that I will
  _not_ support MS Windows, and in fact do not allow Remind to run
  under Windows (see COPYRIGHT).

* Version 3.0 Patch 13 - 1994-05-06

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added extra parameters to the "psmoon" built-in function so you
  can annotate the PostScript moon icons.

- Added a command-line "time" argument to Remind for testing Remind
  scripts with specific system times.  Also added the realnow() function
  which has the same relationship to now() as realtoday() has to today().
  (See the man page!)

- Modified Rem2PS so it prints progress messages to stderr if
  '-v' command-line argument is used.

- In the top of the 'finnish.h' file, added a note about
  Mikko Silvonen's file of Finnish holidays.

+ BUG FIXES

- Fixed a bug in rem2ps which sometimes caused incorrect PostScript if
  the -e and -m options were used.  Thanks to Michael Neuhauser for
  reporting the bug and providing a fix.

- Made the '-k' option escape shell characters in the message to make it
  safer.

- Fixed a segmentation violation which resulted if not all
  PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXTs were balanced by POP-OMIT-CONTEXTs.

- Removed the prototype for DestroyValue, which is now a macro.  I'm
  amazed that very few compilers complained about this one!

- Updated the copyright notices everywhere.

* Version 3.0 Patch 12 - 1994-02-01

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added support for the Danish language, courtesy of Mogens Lynnerup.

- Added support for the Polish language, courtesy of Jerzy Sobczyk.

- Made the Makefile more portable, thanks to Jim Budler.

- Removed some compiler warnings under Linux, thanks to Francois Pinard.

- Tidied the man page a bit; added a small bibliography.

+ BUG FIXES

- Fixed a problem with the '-k' option which resulted in a newline being
  placed after the message text.  This was giving sh(1) heartburn...

* Version 3.0 Patch 11 - 1993-11-26

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added release notes to README.UNIX and README.OS2 describing one
  way to make pop-up alarms under X-Windows and Presentation Manager.

- Added the $DefaultPrio system variable

- Improved OS/2 support, thanks to Darrel Hankerson, Russ Herman
  and Norman Walsh.

- Made the pushing and popping of operators and operands during
  expression evaluation in-line code instead of function calls.  Did the
  same for DestroyValue.  I'm not sure if this was a good idea -- on the
  Sparc using gcc, this slowed things down... go figure.

+ BUG FIXES

- Fixed a potential memory leak in the char() function.

- Made the TRIGGER() built-in function return its answer in English even
  for the foreign-language versions -- this was required for compilers which
  are not 8-bit clean, and for languages with accented letters.

- Made expression evaluation slightly faster by eliminating some unnecessary
  copying of string values.

- Corrected some non-portable definitions of the macro UPPER(c)

- Fixed typos in french.h

* Version 3.0 Patch 10

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENT

- OS/2 support is now much better, thanks to Russ Herman.  The Borland
  C compiler under OS/2 and MS-DOS is supported.

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added the SCHED keyword for precise control of scheduling of timed
  reminders -- it's really quite nifty!

- Modified the trigger() function to take up to three arguments -- in
  addition to a date, you can specify a time and a flag specifying that
  the trigger should be converted from UTC to local time.

- Added $SortByDate, $SortByTime and $SortByPrio system variables.

- Added test suites for MS-DOS and OS/2, courtesy of Russ Herman.

- In PostScript output, the month and year are output in the %%Page: comments.
  Makes it nicer to view multi-month calendars with previewers (eg,
  GhostView.)

- Added the PRIORITY keyword for more control of sort order of reminders.
  Based on a suggestion by George M. Sipe.

- Added the msgprefix() and msgsuffix() evaluations around MSG-type
  reminders for doing fancy things with reminders of different priorities.
  Also added calprefix() and calsuffix() for doing the same thing in
  calendar mode.

- Enabled the -g option during calendar mode as well as regular mode.

+ BUG FIXES

- Fixed minor bugs in the LocalToUTC and UTCToLocal functions.

- "remind -c -de file" used to cause a segmentation violation.  Whoops...

- Some files which should have included <string.h> didn't include it - these
  are now fixed.

- Fixed the moondate() and moontime() functions, which used to be incorrect
  after November 1994.

- Fixed the Finnish language support which was missing a few newlines.

* Version 3.0 Patch 9 - 1993-10-04

+ NOTES

- Remind is now too big to compile under the "small" model in
  MS-DOS.  You must recompile everything under the "medium" model.

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Functions moonphase(), moondate() and moontime() were added for dealing
  with phases of the moon.  The code was snarfed from "moontool" by
  John Walker - see the file "moon.c" for detailed acknowledgement.  Also
  added psmoon() for putting little moon symbols on the PostScript calendar.

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added some more examples to defs.rem - notably, support for ANSI
  terminal color-changing escape sequences, thanks to Gail Gurman.

- Modified both Remind and Rem2PS so that calendars can start on Sunday or
  Monday, depending on your preference.  Unfortunately, the command-line
  options are different -- for Remind, it's '-m' and for Rem2PS it's '-n'
  because '-m' was already in use.  Based on a suggestion by John Plate
  and a patch sent by Mikko Silvonen.

- The Finnish language support is better - now, all usage and error
  messages are in Finnish.  In addition, the Finnish language module
  supports the IBM extended character set as well as ISOLATIN1.
  Thanks to Mikko Silvonen.

- Modified Rem2PS to allow more control over the placement of the small
  calendars, thanks to a suggestion by Frank Vance.  Also added option
  to control the calendar title (e.g., "September 1993") independently
  of day-of-week headings.

- Added the psshade() function to make it easier to shade PostScript
  calendars.

- Allowed a repeat parameter '*num' to be supplied on command line so
  a 'preview' of many days' worth of reminders can be obtained easily.

- Added the $Location system variable.

- Allowed an expression to be supplied to EXIT to return an exit
  status.

- Added the FLUSH command.

+ BUG FIXES

- Fixed the MSF-type reminder to fill paragraphs more intelligently.
  It puts double spaces after '!', '.' and '?', and can handle quotes,
  brackets, etc. after periods, etc.  These characters can be specified
  with the $EndSent and $EndSentIg system variables.  Also modified it
  so that newlines in the body start new paragraphs, rather than being
  swallowed as white-space.

* Version 3.0 Patch 8 - 1993-09-08

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Changed the code to more fully support foreign languages - error
  messages and usage instructions can now be changed.  All changes can
  be localized in the appropriate language.h files.

- Added support for the French language, courtesy of Laurent Duperval.
  Note that the French support is more complete than for other languages -
  French usage instructions and error messages are supported.

- Added support for the Norwegian language, courtesy of Trygve Randen.

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added code for the functions timelocal() and timegm(), courtesy of
  Lucio de Re.  This is for those very few machines whose libraries
  include neither those functions nor mktime().

- Added the filedate() function.

- Allowed the filename to be specified as "-" to cause Remind to take
  its input from the standard input stream.

- Added the "MSF" keyword to cause reminders to be formatted automatically.
  This keyword paragraph-fills reminder text following user specifications.
  Based on a suggestion by Ken McGlothlen.

- Added the "-e" option to Rem2PS, allowing the PostScript calendar
  to fill the entire page.  Thanks to Arthur G. Yaffe.

+ BUG FIXES

- Corrected the Hebrew holidays Tzom Gedalia, Tzom Tevet, Ta'anit
  Esther, Tzom Tamuz and Tisha B'Av so they won't occur on Saturday.
  Corrections made following the algorithm in "Calendrical Calculations"
  by Nachum Dershowitz and Edward M. Reingold.

- Changed the dutch.h language file as suggested by Erik-Jan Vens.  Made
  month and day names lower-case; corrected the spelling of oktober.

- Changed HashVal in var.c to use unsigned arithmetic - it's conceivable
  that a machine with signed chars could cause problems otherwise.

- Changed the LONG_* macros in config.h to LON_* to avoid conflicts
  with names defined by ANSI C.  Thanks to David W. Sanderson.

- Allowed the built-in function char() to accept numbers in the
  range [-128, 255] (but not 0) so that char(asc(s)) works even
  on machines with signed char types.

* Version 3.0 Patch 7 - 1993-07-22

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added "system variables" to allow the user more control over
  Remind operation, and to allow queries about the command-line
  options from within a reminder script.  They allow for specification
  of longitude and latitude for use by sunrise/sunset calculations.

- Added sunrise(), sunset(), isdst() and minsfromutc() functions -
  these are needed to support sunrise and sunset calculations.

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Allowed the MSG, RUN, CAL, PS and PSF keywords to be used in the
  same reminder as the SATISFY keyword.  This makes many complex
  reminders more compact.

- Added the filedir() function to enable Remind's include to emulate
  CPP's #include more closely.

- Allowed non-root users to use the "-u" option.  It only affects
  the "SHELL", "HOME", "USER" and "LOGNAME" environment variables -
  it doesn't change the effective uid and gid when run by non-root.

- Added built-in function "easterdate" to calculate date of Easter
  Sunday - function courtesy of Michael Salmon.

- Improved the Jewish holiday reminders in "defs.rem" to give advance
  notice of holidays.

- Allowed the "simple calendar" option (-s) to specify a number of
  weeks as well as a number of months, in the same fashion as the
  -c option.  Thanks to Dave Rickel.

+ BUG FIXES

- Corrected the behaviour of "hebdate" for jahrzeits; added an additional
  parameter to specify the behaviour of dates in Adar during leap years.

- Changed kall so that "kall sh" doesn't commit suicide - patch courtesy
  of Michael Salmon.

* Version 3.0 Patch 6 - 1993-05-05

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS

- Added the PS- and PSFILE-type reminders - these allow you to include
  arbitrary PostScript code in your PostScript calendars.  Useful for
  shading, drawing graphics on calendars, etc.  Use with care, though!

- Added the "-ivar=val" option to initialize variables from the command
  line.  Changed the remind-all.* shell scripts to predefine the variable
  "remind_all".

+ BUG FIXES

- Fixed a bug in the hebmon(), hebday() and hebyear() functions - there
  was an off-by-one error.  Sorry!

- Fixed a bug in the hebdate() function which resulted in infinite loops
  for dates after about 2075

- Fixed a bug in the -u option which sometimes caused a core dump
  (embarrassed grin!)  The fix is due to Tina Hoeltig.  Thanks, Tina!

* Version 3.0 Patch 5 - 1993-04-27

+ MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS:

- Added support for the Hebrew calendar - can now specify Jewish holidays
  easily.  Thanks to Amos Shapir for explaining the Hebrew calendar, and
  to Danny Sadinoff, from whose HEBCAL program I got some inspiration.
  Also thanks to David W. Tamkin and Frank Yellin for explaining the rules
  for jahrzeits.

+ MINOR ENHANCEMENTS:

- Allowed the default page size used by Rem2PS to be selected in config.h

- Edited the defs.rem file to contain Jewish holidays.  Cleaned up some
  of the examples and improved the layout - thanks to George M. Sipe.

- Modified the IIF function to be more general

- Updated finnish.h to support the ISO 8859-1 character set, courtesy
  of Mikko Silvonen.

- Changed the date conversion routines to greatly speed up conversion from
  Julian to yyyy/mm/dd form.

+ BUG FIXES:

- Fixed a bug in which Remind complained incorrectly about a missing quote
  in the command SET foo ""

- Fixed bugs in dosubst.c which caused the %o, %1 and %@ substitutions
  to be incorrect

- Fixed a bug in the man page - thanks to Ed Oskiewicz.

* Version 3.0 Patch 4 - 1993-03-08

- Added the -g option - this sorts reminders by date/time before
  issuing them.  (You can see I'm running out of letters to
  name options!)  This feature was suggested by George M. Sipe,
  Paul D. Smith, and Francois Pinard.

- Added the "args()" and "dosubst()" built-in functions - see the
  man page for details.

- Added more support for the ISO 8859-1 character set, and
  modified the german.h file to take advantage of this, thanks
  to Robert Joop.

- Allowed any character to be used as date and time separator
  characters (not just "/-:.")

- Added support for the Dutch and Finnish languages, thanks to
  Willem Kasdorp and Mikko Silvonen.  (Anyone care to contribute
  French?  Italian?  Spanish?)

- Made Remind issue a warning if you try to redefine a built-in
  function.  This warning is disabled in 'Hush' mode.

- Added the SCANFROM clause to the REM command.  This allows reasonably
  safe moveable OMITs such as the Labour Day example in the manual.

- Added more examples to the defs.rem file, and cleaned up some old
  examples.  Note that there are now safe moveable holidays for most
  U.S. holidays provided in the defs.rem file.

- Added the '-k' option, which allows MSG-type reminders to be passed
  to any system command.  (Idea and patch courtesy of Philipp Slusallek.)

- Allowed selection of ':' or '.' as time separator characters at
  compile-time.

- Edited the COPYRIGHT file to clarify the rules.  Please read them.

- Removed hard-coding of "am" and "pm" and placed them in language-specific
  header files as #defines L_AM and L_PM

- Fixed a bug in the FindToken() routine which had, through sheer luck,
  never been activated until the SCANFROM clause was added!

- Fixed the UNTIL clause to check for a valid expiry date.

- Removed identifiers in the C source beginning with "_" to conform
  to ANSI practice.
  
- Fixed a bug in the -u option which resulted in environment variables
  SHELL and USER not being set correctly.  Also made -u set the LOGNAME
  environment variable.

- Fixed a couple of typos in the man page; added LDFLAGS to the
  Makefile.  (Thanks to Dave Wolfe.)

- Put my new mailing address in the README files.

* Version 3.0 Patch 3 - 1993-02-21

- Corrected bugs in Remind and Rem2PS.  No new features added.  You
  should NOT use patch level 2 - either stick to 3.0.1 or upgrade to
  3.0.3.

* Version 3.0 Patch 2 - 1993-02-04

- Added the -u option to Remind so that root can run it as any user.
  This simplifies the remind-all scripts, and makes them more efficient.
  If you are worried that this option is a security hole, you can
  disable it in config.h

- Changed the RUN command so that RUN OFF can be used anywhere, even
  though RUN ON only works in the top-level file.  This eases the
  management of global files which may want to switch RUN OFF.

- Added ISO encoding (ISO 8859-1) to the PostScript output, courtesy of
  Michael Salmon.  This can be selected with the '-i' option in rem2ps.

- Added support for the '-' date separator as well as the '/' separator.

- Added support for languages other than English.  Note that this support
  is not complete - error messages are still in English.  The idea and
  German translation came from Wolfgang Thronicke.

- Changed the -w option to include the "padding" and "spacing" options.
  NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY:  In the previous patch level, creating a weekly
  calendar using the -c+n option left no blank lines between the day
  number and the first reminder entry.  This has been changed so that one
  blank line is left.  To revert to the old behaviour, use the "-w,,0"
  option.

- Added the -o option to Rem2ps.  This allows you to specify the margins
  when producing a PostScript calendar.

- Updated the copyright notices in all the files. :-)

- Added 'make clobber' and 'make test' targets to the Unix makefile.

- Corrected typos in WHATSNEW.30 and remind.1 man page.  Thanks to
  Dave Wolfe <dwolfe@pffft.sps.mot.com>

- Changed Remind so that supplying the -a option causes timed reminders
  not to be placed into the calendar in calendar mode.

* Version 3.0 Patch 1 - 1992-12-18

- Wrote the Rem2ps program to produce PostScript calendars

- Added an 'install' target to the Makefile

- Fixed a bug which allowed the shell() function to execute in timed
  reminders which were queued with RUN disabled.

- Added support for OS/2, courtesy of DARREL HANKERSON
  <HANK@DUCVAX.AUBURN.EDU>

- In expressions, can now specify literal dates as 'yyyy/mm/dd' rather than
  using the date() function.

- Fixed all the source files to include "config.h" first.

- Changed the way triggers are calculated so that trigger dates are 
  always valid if year, month and day are specified, and there is no
  UNTIL clause.  See MAN page section "DETAILS ABOUT TRIGVALID()."

- Defined _POSIX_SOURCE so Remind will compile on SGI workstations (and
  be more portable... I hope.)

- Fixed some rather brain-dead definitions of UPPER and LOWER, as pointed
  out by <rsalz@osf.org>

- Added more details to the Man page concerning how triggers are computed,
  and added warnings about computing OMIT dates.

- Added the file defs.rem which contains examples of useful definitions and
  triggers.

- Changed the script test-rem to be a sh script instead of csh for improved
  portability.

- Fixed up the README.* files to reflect the changes.

- Re-formatted the WHATSNEW.30 file.

* Version 3.0 - 1992-11-09

- Total rewrite from previous versions

- Added variables, expressions, flow-control statements, daemon mode

- Added "expression pasting"

- Added CAL-type reminders

- Added the SATISFY clause

- Improved debugging of reminder scripts

- Took out the "purge" option - it is in general too dificult to tell when
  a reminder has expired for good, so now it's up to you to do this
  by hand.

- Fixed a lurking bug in trigger date calculation which, amazingly, had not
  been caught in the couple of years that Remind has been out!

* Version 2.3 Patch 5 - 1992-04-11

- Added the "c+n" option for printing a calendar by
  weeks instead of months, courtesy Dennis Cottel (dennis@peanuts.nosc.mil).

* Version 2.3 Patch 4 - 1991-11-06

- Made the init.c file nicer.  Made the Makefile
  prettier.  Added "make test", "make tar" and "make shar" Makefile targets.

* Version 2.3 Patch 3 - 1991-09-11

- Added a command-line option for Remind to process
  queued reminders in the foreground.  This makes automatic termination
  of Remind processes from within X-Windows and Sunview easier.

* Version 2.3 Patch 2 - 1991-07-19

- Fixed up a problem with timed reminders which resulted
  in cursor not starting from left side of screen on some systems.

- Fixed the SIGINT handler for SYSV systems - this was interrupting the
  sleep(2) system call.

- Closed stdin and stdout if remind was part of a pipe - this prevents other
  sections of the pipe from hanging as remind puts itself in the background.

- Added the "-h" (Hush mode) option

- Added the "%#" and "%@" modifiers for the current time.

- Made the Makefile more portable

* Version 2.3 Patch 1 - 1991-03-08

- Added the "-t" command-line option to get Remind
  to trigger all non-expired reminders.

- Added Turbo C support courtesy of Rhys Weatherly

- Added the "RUN ON" and "RUN OFF" commands for a secure interface with
  the Elm mail system.

- Added the "rem" shell script for running Remind with a default script.

- Added manual pages for "kall" and "rem".

* Version 2.3 - 1991-02-20

- Added the UNTIL keyword for forcing reminders to expire.

- Added the "++" form of 'back' and the "--" form of 'delta' for
  ignoring OMIT information.

- Added the CLEAR-OMIT-CONTEXT, PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT and POP-OMIT-CONTEXT
  keywords for isolating personal or peculiar reminders from the global
  OMIT context.

- Speeded up the parsing of tokens.

- Changed the source to recognize and exploit ANSI-C compilers which
  accept function prototypes.

- Added the "-n" option to output the next occurrence of each reminder
  in SimpleCalendar format

- Modified the calendar and SimpleCalendar formats so that the % escape
  substitutions ARE performed.

* Version 2.2 - Patch 5 - 1990-12-03

- Added the BEFORE, AFTER and SKIP tokens to make the
  handling of holidays more sensible.  Also corrected a few more bugs.

* Version 2.2 - Patch 3 - 1990-11-28

- Added the MSG or RUN tokens in an OMIT command; also
  allowed RUN-type reminders to be explicitly included in the calendar by
  using the %" escape sequence.

* Version 2.2 - 1990-11-16

- Added the AT keyword, the timed reminders daemon, and the
  calendar facility.

* Version 2.1 - 1990-11-06

- Added the "repeat" token for repeating reminders with a period
  other than 7 days.  Also fixed some bugs from version 2.0

* Version 2.0 - 1990-11-01

- first public release.  Included advanced date specifications,
  character substitution, and the RUN keyword.

* Version 1.0

- never publicly released.
