CHANGES TO REMIND
|
||||
|
||||
* VERSION 5.4 Patch 0 - 2025-??-??
|
||||
|
||||
- MAJOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Track which expressions and variables
|
||||
Remind can prove to its satisfaction are "constant" - that is, that
|
||||
will always have the same value on any Remind run as long as the
|
||||
files are not edited. This allows "Purge Mode" to purge more
|
||||
reminders than before.
|
||||
|
||||
See the new remind(1) man page section "NON-CONSTANT EXPRESSIONS"
|
||||
|
||||
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: add the "nonconst" built-in function (to
|
||||
force an expression to be interpreted as non-constant) and the
|
||||
"isconst" function to test if an expression is constant.
|
||||
|
||||
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: Add eval() built-in function that takes a
|
||||
string argument and evaluates it as an expression.
|
||||
|
||||
- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the trigbase() function and
|
||||
corresponding $Tb system variable. See the remind(1) man page for
|
||||
details.
|
||||
|
||||
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Make $Tu a synonym for triguntil().
|
||||
|
||||
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: If coerce() fails, issue a more detailed
|
||||
error message.
|
||||
|
||||
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Using Hush mode "-h" with purge mode "-j"
|
||||
suppresses the normal purge-mode diagnostics about reminders that
|
||||
might not be purged. Instead, only the "#!P: Expired" purge-mode
|
||||
lines are emitted.
|
||||
|
||||
- NEW FEATURE: remind: Add the catch() built-in function. This lets
|
||||
you catch errors in expression evaluation. For example:
|
||||
catch(2/0, "oops") returns "oops". The catcherr() function returns
|
||||
the error message from the last catch() expression that failed, in
|
||||
this case "Division by zero".
|
||||
|
||||
- IMPROVEMENT: remind: Remind can handle dates that require UTC to
|
||||
Local conversion (and vice-versa) for years greater than 2038, even
|
||||
on systems with a 32-bit time_t.
|
||||
|
||||
- IMPROVEMENT: rem2html: Include an anchor <a id="d$day"> in the HTML
|
||||
calendar for each day box, where $day is the day number.
|
||||
|
||||
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Allow the argument to monnum() to be a
|
||||
string, in which case it's parsed as a month name and the
|
||||
corresponding month number returned.
|
||||
|
||||
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Allow the argument to wkdaynum() to be a
|
||||
string, in which case it's parsed as a weekday name and the
|
||||
corresponding weekday number returned.
|
||||
|
||||
- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: Make the expression parser optimize away
|
||||
"- INT_CONSTANT" and "! INT_CONSTANT".
|
||||
|
||||
- BUG FIX: tests: Don't use the obsolete "tail +2" syntax in test-rem.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
* VERSION 5.3 Patch 7 - 2025-05-06
|
||||
|
||||
- IMPROVEMENT: examples/astro: Make moonrise/moonset appear after
|
